Leo

December 2024

You start off this month with the Sun, Mercury retrograde, and the New Moon (on the 1st) all in the sign of Sagittarius; which rules over the area of our life that represents how you desire to enjoy your life/your creativity/your children and other's kids/love affairs/creative crafts/adventures you enjoy....making you focus anew on what you desire to do most! You can focus forward on what you desire to do this month, but take it slow, don't be in a hurry, planning is good and more beneficial. Try not to be crabby if others around you aren't feeling the same sense of enthusiasm as you do. Use the energy of Mercury retrograde to tune into your own intuition so you can feel more empathic in regards to how others are feeling. One step at a time you can be either encouraging or outright grumpy (which won't help anything and cause more delays0. Everyone is feeling a little more worn out this year because of Mars, (energy) in your sign of Leo, moving retrograde starting on December 6th. Mars retrograde will remain in the sign of Leo until it moves backwards into the sign of Cancer on January 6th...and will remain in retrograde motion until February 23rd 2025 (which is a very long time). The lesson of this Mars retrograde season is to be extra mindful, understanding, and patient in regards to your own energy level and the energy levels of others. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and doing so much in a week, instead try to cut your normal agenda in half or even 3/4ths of what you usually do and desire to get done. Staying home and enjoying your creature comforts there can make you happiest. You don't need to run around, dragging people with you (who will be feeling very sleepy) during this phase of time. This is a time of healing for rejuvenation, not a time to overwhelm yourself nor others. Pay close attention to when you're feeling crabby then try to get more rest. You shine like the Sun Leo, no matter what's going on. The very best way to have a happy holiday, for everyone, is for you to be in a good mood so that everyone around you can feel joyful too! The Sun moves into Capricorn on December 21st which will make it even more important for you to take good care of your health. Take it slow, enjoy yourself when you can, don't expect too much from others, appreciate them when you can, find time to get some extra rest and most of all this is an excellent time to simplify your life in ways that feel most comfortable for yourself.
