With Jupiter in your sign for the first half, you're easier to notice, so put yourself forward: take on a project, give a public talk, put your work where people can see it. Jupiter trines Saturn on April 3 and July 12 across your 1st and 9th, good moments to commit to study, a qualification, or work with people in other cities or countries. With Saturn in your 9th, anything involving contracts, credentials or crossing borders will move slower than you expect, so build in time. Mercury retrograde from June 11 to July 5 runs through your 12th and 11th: messages inside a team can get garbled, so confirm important things one-on-one.
Mars is retrograde from January 10 to April 1, backing from your 2nd into your 1st, and spending tends to follow your mood. When you want to treat yourself, wait three days. Mercury retrograde from February 10 to March 3 backs from your 8th into your 7th: with a partner or business partner, be clear about the accounts and how money is split. Jupiter enters your 2nd on July 26, making the second half a good time to take a proper look at your income and which work is worth taking. Jupiter squares Uranus on September 11 across your 2nd and 11th. If friends ask you to chip in on something, look closely before you join, and be wary of anything speculative.
Love this year centres on your 7th house. The February 6 eclipse on Lunar New Year lands here and can start a new chapter in a one-to-one relationship: getting serious with someone, or renegotiating how you are together. The August 17 penumbral lunar eclipse returns to your 7th, and what began early in the year becomes clearer. Pluto sits here all year too, so questions of who decides and who always gives way are worth bringing into the open. With Jupiter in your sign for the first half, you come across as more magnetic; single Leos don't need to try hard, just get out more. Mercury retrograde from October 7 to 28 runs through your 4th and 3rd: with family and siblings, listen more and rush less.
With energy running high in the first half, it's easy to overfill your schedule; leave yourself room to breathe. Mars retrograde from January 10 to April 1 backs into your sign, so stamina and temper can swing. Choose exercise you know and build up slowly. The July 18 penumbral lunar eclipse in your 6th is a good point to review your routine — when you sleep, whether meals are regular — starting with the easiest change. Around the August 2 total eclipse there's more going on, inside and out, so keep those days light. If discomfort persists or affects daily life, please see a qualified medical professional.
