January 2012 for Leo


Happy New Year dear Leo!
The world will not end in 2012! Please read the forecast for 2012 to better understand this much expected and feared year.

The year of 2012 will be ruled by the moon, in the sign of Aries, the fist sign of the zodiac, indicating that it is going to be a year of major decisions, with the focus on independence, innovations but also a sense of impatience and a need to start over.
With a year ruled by the moon, we tend to be more sensitive and emotional; family issues will be predominant, along with an urge to review the past and build a new future based on new ideas and new mottos.
It could be a year marked by lots of travel and mind expansion.

A tongue–sharpening transit between Mercury and Mars opens the year of 2012, which spur arguments and excessive massive media communication. We say it as it is. New Year’s Eve celebration will be restless and people will be impatient.
Money could be a big issue between you and someone you love. But if you skip the money issue and spend the energy on a wild and hot encounter with your object of desire, you both win the game.

Until the 23rd none of the planets will be retrograding, making this the best time to start anything in our lives; whatever we start is guaranteed to grow fast and in the right direction. Start a new project during this time and you will be surprised at how fast it will develop.
The first planet to retrograde in 2012 is Mars in the sign of Virgo until April 10th, making this period to be slow on decision-making; as a result we will momentarily experience a lack of enthusiasm.

On January 8th, Mercury moves to Capricorn, and we are more focused and practical with our thinking. We are thinking seriously about the issues related to media, communication and travel. Mercury travels through Capricorn until January 27th.

Your relations with a love affair will exceed in communication, progressing into serious talks about commitment, which will become possible at this time, especially on the 7th. Your instincts will tell you if he or she is the one you want to spend a long time together with.

The first full moon of the year, is 18º Cancer with the Sun in Capricorn, on the 9th, at 3:30 Am (Eastern Time) motivating us to balance our inner needs with the external duties and obligations. This opposition, Cancer /Capricorn represents the mother and the father; caring and emotional needs versus responsibilities and focus on work.
The moon is in dynamic aspect with Mars indication the urge to finish the tasks we have initiated before.
This is a good day to reformulate our ideas and concepts of reality.

This full moon is in your area of work, daily tasks and health, indicating that you have to balance spirituality with mundane matters. In order to have a health body you have to deal with psychological issues that could be caused by childhood traumas or stress and fear.
You may hear about a successful work project that can generate a good deal of profit during this full moon.

You are full of enthusiasm and energy today, the 13th dear Leo. You have the guts and strength to move a mountain.
You know what to do in order to reach out for your goals.
Schedule meetings, present a project or give a lecture; you are in the spotlight dear Cancer.

Venus is moving to the sensitive sign of Pisces right after a conjunction with Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) on January 14th. People will be concern with charity, generosity and peace. This is an excellent day to meditate, to spend a romantic night with the one we love and to help a charitable foundation.
We may hear about some noble gesture or a peaceful act somewhere on our planet.
Venus remains in Pisces until February 8th.

The old adage says money and love don’t match…
Not during the time Venus transits your area of shared money, anyway.
If attached, your partner may give you an expensive item; if single you’ll not only find an interesting object of love with an significant bank account, but you may be  invited to spend a weekend in a village in Tuscany.
This is also a good time to invest in the arts and in gold.

On the 19th, your energy could drop or you may become very preoccupied with your health.
Some of you may have to deal with an ‘ego’ trip’ dear Leo; try to make an impression and you could end up making enemies in your work area instead.

The Sun, your ruler, enters Aquarius, the sign of humanity, fraternity and futuristic matters on January 22nd. Your focus goes to the one you love, either because she or he needs your care and attention or because you can’t take your eyes of him or her.
It’s a good time dear Leo to understand that the attention doesn’t have to be on you at all times, everybody is special to someone…You can’t be special to everyone.

There’s a New Moon at 02º Aquarius on the 23rd at 3:40 AM (Eastern Time) representing a need for freedom. This new moon, amplifies the urge for equality on social and economic levels.
Mercury is trinning Mars during this new moon, turning our focus to communication and transport and travel.
We feel free to show our opinion today with grace and objectivity.
This brilliant new moon is right in your area of relationships, making this time the best to invest in a relationship that is making your life much brighter. And if you have a relationship that needs some tuning up, there’s no better time to recreate this relationship and start over.

Today Mars also start its retrograde period, which happens every two years in the sign of Virgo until April 13th. Mars will be in Virgo most of the year of 2012, instead of its normal two months sojourns, giving us extra time to figure out and fix what’s not working in our lives. It’s a good time to resolve self-esteem problems and to eliminate martyrdom and passive-aggressive behavior.
We are impelled to analyze, criticize and improve things in our lives. If you have any big project to start this year, skip the period Mars is retrograding and analyze your project in detail before you launched after April 13th.
During this first new moon of 2012, dream the impossible dream, take a quantum leap and let the magic of the universe manifest in your life.

Mars is going to spend a lot of time in your area of money and assets. Mars in this area has the repute to encourage us to splurge in everything money can buy.
When retrograding, make sure you plan a budget for your spending and reorganize your finances.
Don’t expect for a flow of money between Jan 23rd and April 13th.  But after that, money will increase and pour into your bank account.

You have bright ideas on the 21st but you may look too arrogant on the 22nd, exaggerating in your biggest weakness: Your exaggerated need for attention and your need to always be right!

Mercury enters the sign of Aquarius on the 27th, turning our mindset to fraternal issues and new ways of thinking.
Mercury will spread out your communication skills into your intimate relationships. This is a good time to form a partnership or to have more dialogs with your spouse or business partners.

Don’t forget to read the forecasting for 2012 in order to understand this so important year in your life. What is happening below is a reflection of what happens above.
Astrology is not a predictive practice, at least not in my point of view, but a way of being informed and aware of the vibrations that will be upon us and allowing us to change consciously according to that time frame.
We always have the free will to adjust things to our benefit when we are aware of them.
It’s simple: take an umbrella if the forecast announces it is going to rain!
Have a beautiful month!
