So much of life as you know it will go through a process of reconditioning this year, Leo, especially when Venus retrogrades in your sign from 22 July to 3 Sept. But before we get to that, you should be present with the final stretch of Saturn's transit in Aquarius, which lasts until 7 March. This transit has activated your partnership sector since March 2020, and once Saturn enters Pisces, your sector of depth, outside resources, and intimacy will be activated. You'll go from thinking about your connections from a more intellectual perspective to being fully immersed in your deepest emotions and navigating those feelings by finding healthy outlets to express them to the parties involved. One of the best ways to do so is through humour — let Saturn's shift into Pisces encourage you to take a more malleable approach to connecting with your loved ones. Pay attention to what's not said just as much, if not more, than what is outwardly expressed. Abstain from taking life or love too seriously.
Jupiter's entrance into Aries in May is another welcomed shift for you, as Jupiter's presence in Pisces may have led to you overanalysing your life journey and wondering if things were too good to be true instead of fully trusting the present moment. Jupiter in Aries is helping you harness your passions toward a tangible goal, and you'll also be willing to take greater risks by saying yes to travel or starting a new course of study. It's likely you'll spend the second quarter of the year travelling (near or far) or absorbing new forms of knowledge from stimulating sources. You may even decide to launch your own course or start-up during Jupiter's transit in Aries, and once Jupiter enters Taurus on 16 May, you'll find a strategy to align your professional trajectory with your passions. Living a life you truly love is a major theme for you this year.
Saturn's retrograde in Pisces on 17 June activates your sector of depth, intimacy, and outside resources, so if you're dealing with a separation or have to sort out joint finances, tread carefully between 17 June and 4 Nov. You may be in the midst of reflecting on what your core values are. Perhaps last year you were focussed on hustling and proving your worth to your partner(s), and now you'll feel more meditative and in the mood to tend to your inner self. Trippy times are in store for you, and you deserve to liberate yourself from psychological hardships through spiritual immersion. Venus's retrograde in your sign from 22 July to 3 Sept. will have an equally humbling effect on you, as you're being asked to define yourself for more than your beauty or external accomplishments. Who are you without those attachments or labels? This is the year where you truly reveal yourself to yourself. Love this for you!
