Lion - Leo
​
23. JULY - 23. AUGUST
In a nutshell: simply irresistible! Lucky planet Jupiter creates a rush of the senses, and Venus gives wings to your love life
IN 2019 NOTHING CAN FAZE YOU
It will be near impossible to upset you this year. With a smile on your face, you find composure in yourself. Not that you’ll let go of the reins, you’ll just keep them looser than in prior years. It's easy for you to do that, because lucky planet Jupiter will be traversing Sagittarius next year - an exceptional position that will benefit all Leos until the beginning of December. Even better: Jupiter emphasizes your 5thHouse of Passion and Vitality. 2019 will be a frenzy of the senses. Feel free to show abandon - if you wish.
The lunar eclipse on January 21 might already announce a new phase in all things love. Particularly Leos born in July will benefit. But when Venus joins Jupiter in the last week of January, she inspires all other members of your zodiac sign as well. The combined forces of these beneficial planets embrace you in a powerful aura, one that your fellow human beings can barely escape. A Leo knows how to savor that. In 2019 you should not leave the royal purple in the closet. Wear bright colors to the many parties you’ll attend so you won’t miss the person who will become an important influence in your future. People will talk to you on the street, but you're used to that.
BE PICKY
​
In this surplus of attention, be selective, because Neptune has a say and often generates mere make-belief. When the emotions threaten to overcome you, get back on your pedestal for a reality check. Don’t forget that you are looking for someone who can handle your sense of humor and will be a faithful partner in crime. A relationship you start in this phase could last a long time. Even Leos who are in a committed relationship will benefit from Jupiter's enchanting ways. Open up to each other. If you share your secrets and deepest desires, you’ll immerse yourself in the primal stream of love. Being vulnerable makes you irresistible. Take advantage of this cosmic opportunity, because Jupiter will not visit your 5thHouse again for another twelve years.
Professionally, you should advance fast in the coming year. Uranus, the planet of progress, insight and inspiration, traverses your House of Career, where he may arrange for sudden promotions. You are unlikely to forgo a chance at a leadership position, because in your opinion, that’s where you belong. Plans to start your own business should also be implemented in 2019. Those who dare, win - despite the many setbacks. Just keep going. You have enough energy to roar - even in the desert.
The important thing is that you stick to your guns even while under the unpredictable influence of Uranus. Cancellations, critical comments, envy and pettiness - just ignore it all. If you want to change jobs, the stars will align favorably between February 15 and March 31. That’s when Mars joins Uranus, turning you into a virtually invincible force in job interviews. The next opportunity to improve your standing is mid-May. You might be hired for a media project, might have to cover for a colleague or manage the office on short notice. Look at this chaos as an opportunity!
The most promising days of the year fall between July 28 and August 21. That’s when Venus amplifies your magnetic pull - your ideas will carry far. You are likely to take a vacation and won’t look at your e-mails except after cocktails - poolside, of course. Good thing, because in 2019, your work will be almost as exciting as your love life. You’ll grow and thrive in all areas. Another magical moment awaits on December 26 and 27, no matter whether you are celebrating at home or on snow-covered slopes.
You’ll end the year the way you started it: with a smile on your face that signals victory.
