Leo Monthly Forecast

Even when the Sun returns to your career sector on 20th March to begin what will be the most active months of the year on the career front, things are going to get off to a relatively slow start and only really start to gain any kind of momentum or urgency next month. This is partly because held back by retrograde turns Mercury won't return until next month and Venus not until June, partly because with Uranus leaving in July the professional gods will want you to take your time and partly because, for the first time in 16 years there is no planetary activity in your work sector. The professional urgency just isn't there and just as well, for it is the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence that is powering up. To a degree, with the Sun always spending the first three weeks of April in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery that will always be the case, but rarely to the heights reached this month and rarely with any planetary activity in a playful and creative part of your chart. While the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment will leave there on 15th April, not before spending her final 10 days closely aligned with Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams as he settles into his first month in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in 150 years. Neptune only returned in the closing hours of March, but by the time Venus had retrograded back out just a few days earlier, she had spent nearly two months fuelling a desire for adventure. With Neptune in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery until 2039, even when the Sun leaves on 20th March, this is not going away. Meanwhile, Venus and Mercury have both retrograded back into your financial sector and in time to spend their early days back with Neptune before he left. Venus will spend the whole of April back here and Mercury until 16th April, working with planets that are committed to turning Neptune's financial hopes, dreams and aspirations into reality.

Before retrograding back out of an adventurous part of your chart late last month Venus, the planet of love not only spent her final days at a friendly aspect to the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment in your romantic sector, but with a promise that she would return. Venus left behind planets that can keep the spirit of adventure alive, but thanks to Juno her mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together will be in safe hands or at least it will be for the first half of the month. Venus will be back by 1st May and will spend another five weeks bringing the spirit of romance and adventure together. However, it will be to find Juno gone, with her departure on 15th April leaving your romantic sector empty until she returns in October for a do over. With the Moon moving through from 16th April to 18th April, returning a day after Juno leaves, these romantically charged lunar vibes will pick up on her essence and sense of resolve and by the time it leaves, Venus will be just 13 days away from returning to an adventurous part of your chart. Helping to keep the spirit of romance alive will be Mars' return to Leo on 18th April, while the Moon is still in your romantic sector, along with the planets in an adventurous part of your chart. It is a few days after the Moon leaves your romantic sector that it will return for its only visit to your relationship sector this month and also the last while Pluto is in direct motion. The Moon will move through from 21st April to 23rd April, something that every four weeks will bring a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. This will see the Moon clash with Mars in his early days in Leo and just as he is heading into a clash with Pluto on 25th/27th April. With Pluto turning retrograde on 5th May and the Moon and Mars only clashed for a few days, before the doors open to the past, this will give you a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.
