Leo 2010

Ruling Planet: Sun

Element: Fire
Color: Yellow, gold
Timing is everything. And as we usher in the New Year, the royal Lion’s assignment is to make the most out of every opportunity, no matter how insignificant it seems, that lands at your doorstep. This year, three major planets are on the move and at times, the wind will be at your back and fickle fortune will smile on you. So do keep your cosmic clock (or your Astrologer) close by.
This year, expansive Jupiter’s transit of Pisces could increase your cash flow. But bear in mind that Jupiter also encourages excess, so while he moves back in with wild Aries between June and September, mind those extra pounds, dollars and the temptation to invest in a relationship that everyone knows is going nowhere fast.
Passionate Mars will lend you his powers through June, however until March he is on a retrograde slow‑down, and you may feel that your work or projects are stalled or that you have run out of fuel. Pace yourself. Follow through on your plans and when the winds shift, you will be ready to fly.
Clever Uranus will move in with fellow fire sign Aries for a brief stay between May and August. This mental energy wills enflame your imagination and curiosity while giving you itchy feet. Travel is the antidote, but this is also the transit of higher education. Take advantage of this stimulating energy. And remember that every cosmic aspect is part of the bigger puzzle. Ergo, a course in philosophy, plumbing or management may be exactly what you need for next year’s interview or new challenge.
With Mars in Leo until June you could meet your life partner, new life‑long friend or soul mate. However, single Leos are now in line for a significant relationship, and even if love does not bloom this year, you could meet someone who returns in 2011 with more than friendship on their mind.
This year you may want to keep the words of Dorothy Bryant very close: “Like an old gold panning prospector, you must resign yourself to digging up a lot of sand from which you will later patiently wash out a few minute particles of gold ore.”
