2012 Yearly Horoscope for Leo

see another sign Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces

Overview

This is a year of fabulous fortune for you, Leo, especially in the career realm. You'll have jolly Jupiter on your team for the first half of 2012 while in the sign of loyal Taurus; during the year's second half, you'll have the lucky planet blessing your long-range goals and wishes. And if that's not enough of a cosmic bonus, Jupiter will also bring good things to your social life from July through the end of the year. Expect unprecedented party invites and new friends pouring into your life by the time summer arrives!

Mars will activate your financial sector for the first half of 2012, so expect a good portion of your energy to go into making (and spending) money. The first quarter of the year is a good time to conserve your resources and put more effort and reflection into how you can double your investments and increase your earning potential. When Mars comes out of retrograde in May, you'll be able to trust your instincts and spend your money more freely.

The eclipse season begins in May -- just in time to shake up your romantic sector for the summer! The new Moon solar eclipse in May brings the year's first winds of change into your love life. You may or may not be expecting such intensity in your romantic life, but you'll welcome it all the same. You've been daring life to take you on, and now you can finally meet a partner capable of handling your towering strength and confidence. After all, isn't it about time you met your match? And now that Saturn is moving out of your communication sector -- after two-and-a-half years of blocking your ability to speak from the heart -- you'll be back to your old outspoken self after October!

Romantic

Leo is the sign of love, so you'll be pleased to know that Cupid won't be giving you the cold shoulder this year! With another round of eclipse patterns stirring up passions in your romance sector this spring, you'll be anything but starved for affection. If anything, you'll have the other extreme to contend with - too many alluring suitors vying for your attention. Choosing only one requires excluding others, and this has never been your strength. The new Moon solar eclipse in May in your house of love is just the tip of a very amorous iceberg to hit your world this year!

Venus spends most of September in your chart, so mark that as your month of pure pleasure. This is the time of year when the goddess of beauty and love gets to shine through you most brightly. Love is especially in the air between May and December, while in November, sexy Mars activates your romance sector, making sure there's plenty of heat to take you through the colder months.

This October, Saturn enters Scorpio and moves into your chart's base camp. Over the next few years, you'll be asked to plant roots. If you're not already in a settling-down mode, you may certainly feel a push to deepen your commitment towards creating a solid home life. In any case, you'll be considering long-term stability and what your priorities are in terms of home and family. If you've managed to remain an eligible swinger, the cosmic taskmaster will force you to give up your wild days in favor of something more permanent and meaningful.

Career

You've got it going on this year, Leo, as Jupiter continues to reign over your career sector. If you had one shot and opportunity to seize everything you've ever wanted, would you not pounce on it? Well, now is your time! It's all about expanding your perception of what's possible in 2012. You were born for superstar status, and you know it. So what are you waiting for?

Pluto has taken up residence in your work sector for the long haul, so there's no new tale to tell on that front. However, it doesn't mean that the mighty presence of the god of the underworld should be taken lightly! The demands of Pluto are relentless. The need for constant change - and to shed anything that no longer serves you - are its minimum requirements. You're a constant work-in-progress, so don't get too comfortable or complacent if you want to remain in good standing. This year is about realizing your true potential.

Saturn will be leaving your communication sector in October, making all your business correspondence and networking tasks that much easier. You've learned important lessons about what to say (and what not to say) when it comes to expressing yourself with higher-ups. Now you can apply those lessons to every arena in your life by only using the words that are absolutely necessary to convey your truth. Finally, Mars will be spending an inordinate amount of time in your financial sector this year, forcibly putting you in business mode - like it or not. Think like a mogul and you'll be amazed at all the new money-making schemes you can manifest in 2012!
