LEO :: 2009 HOROSCOPE

Marriage or business – Initiation point – Jan 26 +/- one month

This will be a major year for your relationship, dear Leo. Your relationships would see definite changes this year.  A total eclipse in your opposite sign of Aquarius will occur on January 26 and may forever change the course of one close partnership that you hold dear in business or personal life. This will also be a new moon, so a whole new reality is emerging.

Eclipses test the strength of all the vital parts of our lives, on a systematic basis. These eclipses will help you do what you could not do for yourself, namely, sever a toxic relationship if there is one in your life. If you were too trusting, the eclipses will bring evidence that you will feel compelled to see and learn from. On the other hand, as a testing eclipse, if your partnerships are strong, there will be no changes. Indeed, if you are in love, this eclipse January 26 could bring an engagement or marriage.

In fact, what happens this year will set the pace for your whole decade to come. Watch closely what occurs near the eclipse of January 26, or in the days that follow. Mars (planet of action) will enter in this area on February 4 until March 14.

This eclipse on January 26 is supporting you in big way. Follow your heart, no matter what others tell you to do, for it is sure to lead you to precisely the right place. With Jupiter also in your seventh house whole year, many of you would be get engaged this year. This opportunity you are getting once in twelve years. So use it in strengthening your relationship base.

 If you were born near 26, plus or minus five days, this eclipse would impact you more closely.

 Your overall outlook – Culmination point – Feb 9 +/- one month

The lunar eclipse on February 9 will bring stressful messages about a relationship, not necessarily the same as discussed above. It will force you to do something special to retain that. This will be a full moon lunar eclipse on that date, and at that time you will be ready to state your future intentions. Do so but only after testing all your most basic assumptions.

Saturn (insecurity in financial life) and Uranus (in property matters) are not supporting you near this time. If you were born near 12 then things could be really hard to handle.

This person who leaves - if you see one leave - appears to be a romantic or business partner, but it may be a family member or friend who simply moves away or goes off to school, as two examples - life changes afterward. IF this is a romantic relationship - you will not see that person again. An eclipse brings you across a bridge, and once you cross it, the bridge will fall away - there will be no path back to your old life. You wouldn’t want to go back, but you may not come to that conclusion immediately, but rather later. Whatever you do, don’t lose your dignity by trying to negotiate the relationship back afterward, because with a total eclipse, the door to that part of your life will bolt shut. You are ready to continue your journey forward, even if you think you are not.

Good news is about Jupiter, it is moving in your relationship house whole year. Whatever happens to you near this time, you have opportunity to bounce back in last nine months of 2009.

Work and Health – Culmination point – July 7 +/- one month

Another lunar eclipse is happening on July 7 in your sixth house of job and health. . A subordinate may announce her departure at the office, or someone you depend on at home - a babysitter, housekeeper or gardener - may suddenly quit. You’d be wise to have backup replacements in your Rolodex should this happen at this month. It seems likely. Know you will probably need a number of contingencies in place, as eclipses turn things inside out.

This eclipse could also focus on health, this time, again, yours, as well as any woman who holds a prominent place in your life such as your mother, grandmother, wife, girlfriend, female friend, aunt, female boss, or female neighbor. This eclipse will bring something to fullness. For example, if someone is sick, once you reach the full moon it tends to crest, and after three days past the full moon, the crisis subsides. This is a full moon eclipse, which only means it has the power of three full moons, brought by the universe so you’d pay attention. Think of it as a protective aspect. If your relative becomes ill or finds out they need an operation, you’ll want to be there for that person. Mars will enter in your own house on August 25. It would intensify the same discussion later.

Saturn (support at earning) is also supporting you at this time. If you were born near 7, this eclipse will help you in big way.

Physiological health, mental health , hidden friends, or hidden enemy- Initiation point – July 22 +/- one month

Another solar eclipse is happening in your twelfth house on July 22. If you were born near end of Leo, this is great opportunity to give up a non-productive habit. You are in middle of changes. These eclipses in your twelfth house would change your perceptions about your friends, enemies, or about your own capabilities. Pluto (passion in job) is not supporting it. But you have unexpected support from partner’s income. If you set aside time to do some focused brainstorming, you should be very successful in seeing results. Lots of things are happening off stage, in your zone of privacy and confidential matters. While you may usually work with others in a team situation, your best work this month will happen behind closed doors while you are alone. Artists say that they often have to screen out the loudness of the world so that they can hear the whispering of their inner voice.

If you were born near 22, this eclipse will be good for you. This eclipse would have impact on you for atleast next six months. You would take at least one major initiative near this time.

Marriage or business relations – Culmination point – August 6 +/- one month

Suddenly near August 6, you may find focus back on relationship issues. Things you have started in January will be showing their results near this time. In this highly relationship focus year on the lunar eclipse August 6, you will need to look at each relations closely. Staying positive, one last possible interpretation of this trend may be that your partner may deeply inspire you though his or her belief in you. An eclipse in the seventh house could bring on an impending engagement or marriage, and if so, that would be happy news. In a business sense, you may form a close relationship to work on an artistic project together that would show really encouraging results from the very start. With Jupiter (lord of luck) moving in same house, you should not see much problem in it.

Leo born within 15 to 27 could take many initiatives

This year could also treat people differently based on their date of birth. While people born during 15 to 27 date range could have many new starts up i.e some big initiatives, others (especially born between 1 to 12 date ranges) could see many culmination points.

If you were born during 15 to 27 date range in Leo, then this year would be more about many new initiatives. Most of new moons and solar eclipses are happening in your part. Among them major are marriage or business initiative in first half of the year and planning and health initiative in second half of the year. 

Leo born within 1 to 12 could see many culmination points

If you were born during 1 to 12 date range in Leo, 2009 would be year of results. You could see most of the things reaching at culmination point. Those would be result of your past karma. You can expect big wins and losses during the year. Year is certainly emotional for you. Expect things to reach at culmination point near lunar eclipses, plus or minus one month. Relationship, work, and health are again big areas for you.

Be optimistically cautious in financial earnings:

Saturn (discipline) has been moving in your financial sector for last two years. Your financial earning life has been full of complexity. Managing money has been very demanding and you may have been seeing things not going very bad or too good (through chances are less), because Saturn works in extreme. If you were born near 12, plus or minus four days, I am worried about you more this year. Saturn (discipline) and Uranus (independence) are making opposition with each other.There will be two interactions on February 5 and September 12. You may see contradiction among property, finance and legal matters. Fill your taxes in advance and take care of loan commitment.

Saturn will move out of this place on 29^th October 2009. If things are not good at your second house, this will be good news for you. After that, it will have been testing or developing your communication or sibling sector for next two and half years.

Physiological health, mental health , hidden friends, or hidden enemy- Culmination point – December 31 +/- one month

Last but not the least a lunar eclipse will happen in your twelfth house on December 31. This is very emotional eclipse. Nothing is right with this eclipse. If you were born near 30, this eclipse is tougher for you. Eclipses test the strength of all the vital parts of our lives, on a systematic basis. These eclipses will help you do what you could not do for yourself, namely, sever a toxic relationship if there is one in your life. If you were too trusting, the eclipses will bring evidence that you will feel compelled to see and learn from. Near the eclipse, you could find yourself wrangling fiercely with someone over a relationship matter.

The lunar eclipse on December 31 will raise your awareness of something that has been going on in the shadows and without your knowledge, if there is anything. This sounds ominous, but really is not. The job of an eclipse is to give you full information you need to make an informed decision. Once you have the information, you’ll be able to protect your future security in a very comforting way.

If you feel a need to end a bad habit, this full moon would be in a position to bring you the right coach to help you overcome it. You may want to enter rehab, AA, or Weight Watchers - you get the idea. Your intuition will be so strong that you will know too that this full moon represents the right time to tackle your goal.

Sometimes an eclipse will bring a competitor, detractor, or rival, but if so, at least you will see this person plainly in front of you rather than someone who is lurking under the radar.
