LEO ♌️ December 2024
(July 22 – August 21)
General
January 2025 is a month of introspection and reconsideration, reorientation and alignment to connect with your authentic self with both Mars and Jupiter retrograde.
The biggest change of 2025 is on January 12, 2025 with the shift of the North Node from Aries to Pisces (8th House of the Soul), Transformation and Shared Wealth), where Leo will experience deep emotional growth where letting go of control over joint financial matters will be key.
Love and Relationships
With Venus in Aquarius opposing retrograde Mars in Leo, the focus at the beginning of January 2025 shifts to clear communication. Plain language!
Due to the influence of Mars retrograde in Leo, the first week of January 2025 is a good time for self-reflection and focusing on a committed relationship or reconnecting with an old love.
Single Leos can fall in love with work.
With Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, Leo notices that your social circle is changing. Leo longs for depth with people who share the same interests, ideals and goals as you. With Pluto in Aquarius (7th House of Relationships), Leo can expect profound shifts in relationships and collaboration. You naturally attract influential people and this is reinforced by Asteroid Ceres in Aquarius until February 23, 2025 and the New Moon in Aquarius on January 29, 2025. This is the perfect time to take a new step in a steady relationship or to start a new relationship. A new business collaboration or burying the hatchet with a business relationship or private relationship is possible.
Family and Home
The New Moon in Capricorn on December 30, 2024 (House of Career) may have brought news of new professional opportunities.
These professional opportunities also affect your private life, so a decision may have to be made in the first half of January 2025.
The decision you are going to make depends largely on the atmosphere in the family and relatives.
Due to the influence of the Sun in Capricorn until January 19, 2025, there is a sense of reserve and negativity.
There may be problems with finances or property matters and that requires tactful discussion, dialogue and negotiation. January 2025 is a favorable month to reconnect with family members who live far away or abroad.
Career
The New Moon in Capricorn on December 30, 2024 (House of Career) can be the reason for changes in your career or in the development of your business in the first half of January 2025.
Mars retrograde in Leo until January 6, 2025 requires that professional goals and strategies be reassessed. Uranus in Taurus (House of Career) goes direct again from January 29, 2025 and you see the results of patience and hard work.
In January 2025, it is advisable to act quickly and seize opportunities. Make sure you look your best, because you are in the spotlight. Pay attention to the smallest details with Mercury in Capricorn from January 9 to 28, 2025.
Communication is key, so it’s all about dialogue and mutual understanding now. Avoid impulsive decisions or confrontations at work, instead go for cooperation and strategic planning. Build a solid foundation for the future.
Finances
The tension between retrograde Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces could cause unforeseen expenses and disappointing financial results in the first half of January 2025.
The square between Jupiter and Saturn requires careful consideration when making financial moves.
Have faith, because the second half of January 2025 will see an improvement in the financial situation. Jupiter retrograde in Gemini asks Leo to review previous projects and financial plans, complete unfinished business or refine existing strategies. In summary, January 2025 is not the best financial month of 2025, but the insights you gain are invaluable to make the best financial decisions later.
Health
Retrograde Mars in Cancer from January 7, 2025 in the 12th House of Cosmic Consciousness, Psyche and Letting Go indicates a period and period of rest, recovery and silence in which you prefer to be on your own. A period for retreat, cure, time-out, therapy, reorganization, rehabilitation, recovery and building mental health. During Mars retrograde, Leo is confronted with emotional frustrations and desires that you have suppressed. There may be reduced vitality and motivation, vague fears and indecisiveness.
Leo probably has to let go of something, but it is necessary that you do. Write down your feelings in a diary.
The Full Moon in Cancer on January 13, 2025 further reinforces the need to let go of something.
Yoga, meditation or mindfulness can help to stay grounded and reduce tension. Leo needs food that is rich in potassium and magnesium. Jupiter retrograde in Gemini encourages you to focus on holistic well-being and personal growth. Make sure you relax, do something creative and enjoy yourself as much as possible.
Advice
January 2025 is all about personal growth. Retrograde Mars, Jupiter and Uranus cause challenges and delays, but offer you a time-out for meaningful introspection, reorientation and attention to self-care.
Mars will remain retrograde until the end of February 2025, so expect delays at the beginning of the year. It is advisable not to take it out on others, but to use this period productively, by taking your rest, preparing yourself and making plans for everything you want to achieve in 2025.
You can also see retrograde Mars as a second chance and that applies mainly to Leos born on July 26 or earlier with Mars conjunct their natal Sun.
