Leo Horoscope for 2011
This month could be a nice mix of work and socializing, and if you sidestep some of December's perils and pitfalls, you'll end up with a very enjoyable month. You just have to be careful, that's all, and I will help you.
You've been lucky in that Mars, the energy planet, has been brightening your house of true love since October 28. Now, just as Mars is about to pack his bags and leave on December 7, the new moon, which is even more powerful, will come in on December 5 to give your romantic life an even bigger boost in the two weeks that follow.
It is also possible that something you say on Facebook could come back to bite you, say, because your new admirer mistakenly construes that you already are in a relationship - and that proves to be a turnoff. You do have to be very conscious and alert this month about how and what you communicate, for Mercury rules the spoken and written word. There are many possible examples, but you get the idea.
Everyone experiences at least one comedy of errors when Mercury is retrograde, and this time, Mercury will be retrograde all month, from December 10 to 30. You'll start to feel Mercury's slowdown, however, the minute the month begins.
I still like to make an effort by buying gifts, but with Mercury retrograde, I realize that our chances of pleasing our recipients is about to plummet to an all-time low this month. It is also possible that you may buy an electronic item, only to see the price drop significantly in January when a newer model comes out. Or, it may not work right, or not be something your recipient wanted. I feel gift certificates in electronic or computer stores like Best Buy or Apple is the way to go. Who would not want that?
You can shop for jewelry, clothing, perfume, and other such things from December 1 to 5, but after that, you will be just too close to Mercury retrograde to risk an expensive purchase.
Many Leos work in a creative profession, and if that describes you, you will have entered your most splendid period for the year for displaying originality. Keep presenting ideas, but realize that with Mercury retrograde, you will run into VIPs on vacation, or worse, people who can't quite make up their minds for final approval. That will come in January, so don't stress out. Keep going at your own pace and refuse to get ruffled.
As we get closer to the New Year, many of us make New Year's resolutions. You actually have superb aspects for seeing any of yours to fruition if they relate to health and fitness. Mars is getting you into a very energetic, athletic mode. You might want to join a gym now, before the New Year, because some gyms offer special rates at the end of December. Make your action on December 31, the day AFTER Mercury turns direct, or if there are no special deals at the gyms you want to join in your neighborhood, join in January.
This month holds a very troublesome total eclipse of the moon on December 21, at 29 degrees 21 minutes of Gemini. It will fall in your house of friendship. Something is ending - is a friend moving away, or is this person making you mad enough to throw in the towel and leave? Either could be the case.
The problem seems to involve an issue over money, and when things begin to blow up, things will get hot and you won't see it coming. Things will begin brewing on Friday, December 17, when the Sun and Uranus will be at hard angles to each other, and by Tuesday, December 21, things will be in a complete meltdown. It could also be that a friend knows how to fix a problem you are having with a mutual friend, but won't, even though they could help things very easily by making a small comment. (This may make you more upset with the friend who won't help than the one who won't pay!)
You have had a lot of financial nightmares in the past few years, and you will be happy to hear this is among the very last ones you will see. Once Uranus leaves Pisces, a place it has occupied since 2003, on March 11, 2011, you will be looking at a whole new picture, and it will be one you will really love. You really are in the last chapter, dear Leo.
Summary
A major full moon lunar eclipse will fall this month on December 21 in your friendship sector. There will be tension at that time with a long-term (female) friend, and the subject of the disagreement is likely to be about money. Don't loan any funds to friends, and if you are expecting a past loan to be repaid, the money likely won't be forthcoming. This all seems to be unexpected, and when you hear it, it will send you reeling.
In a similar interpretation, it might be that one of your friends could, if he or she wished, become instrumental in solving an ongoing financial problem with a mutual friend or acquaintance - but will stubbornly refuse to help you, adding to your frustration. No matter what unexpected problem you face, a friendship seems to be very touchy, and very much on the line. If you walk from it, it will be because you had almost no choice. Events will move very quickly, so be decisive and don't look back.
