Overview

Some people want everything to come to them in life as easily as possible -- but not you! Today, especially, you are in the mood for a unique challenge. It's a good thing, too, because you are sure going to get one! An invitation is coming your way, and you shouldn't hesitate to say 'yes.' When a goal is too easy to attain, it is not very fulfilling. Embrace today's challenge with everything you've got. Sure, it could tire you out by the end of the day, but it will also reward your ego.

Try not to worry about anyone who's been confusing you lately because things should clear up in a big way sometime relatively early. Your mind is sharpest when figuring out others' motives.

Curb that tendency to be possessive as the week begins. Do something solo at work or at play to get that independent spirit up and running. Remember, engaging with your world on your terms increases true self-worth. Then, while others may be flipping out around Wednesday and Thursday, you're able to find pertinent info and weigh it wisely, right? React instead of being reactionary. On Friday and over the weekend, you're redefining fun, for yourself and your lucky friends or significant other. Why buy or watch the action when you can make and do it?

There are times when being stubborn is the only way to get what you need. Then, on days like the 1st, there are ways of getting what you want without resorting to flat-out stubborn insistence. Do your best to navigate alternative paths that might be open to you as you seek out what you want. You could be very impressed by just how well something as simple as asking nicely can work! By the 5th, you'll be spurred to action. On the pretty terrific 7th and 8th, you could already see some awesome feedback coming your way, thanks to your recent action taking. You might prefer to skate over the surface of your emotions, but on the 13th, 14th and 15th you'll be skating on thin ice. Instead, take off those skates and put on your scuba suit and plunge on in. What's happening down there in the depths of your feelings? A clash of personalities could be productive, or not, on the 20th. Do your best to be constructive. Try something new on the 25th. Don't be afraid to make a splash on the 29th. After all, the worst thing that can happen is you'll get wet!

Year 2012 Overview

This is a year of fabulous fortune for you, Leo, especially in the career realm. You'll have the auspices of Jupiter in Taurus doing your bidding for the first half of 2012; during the year's second half, you'll have the lucky planet blessing your long-range goals and wishes. And if that's not enough of a cosmic bonus, Jupiter will also bring good things to your social life from July through the end of the year. Expect unprecedented party invites and new friends pouring into your life by the time summer arrives!

Mars will activate your financial sector for the first half of 2012, so expect a good portion of your energy to go into making (and spending) money. The first quarter of the year is a good time to conserve your resources and put more effort and reflection into how you can double your investments and increase your earning potential. When Mars comes out of retrograde in May, you'll be able to trust your instincts and spend your money more freely.

The eclipse season begins in May - just in time to shake up your romantic sector for the summer! The new Moon solar eclipse in May brings the year's first winds of change into your love life. You may or may not be expecting such intensity in your romantic life, but you'll welcome it all the same. You've been daring life to take you on, and now you can finally meet a partner capable of handling your towering strength and confidence. After all, isn't it about time you met your match? And now that Saturn is moving out of your communication sector - after two-and-a-half years of blocking your ability to speak from the heart - you'll be back to your old outspoken self after October!

Daily Flirt:

Life is a party at the moment, and you're having a hard time believing that anyone could be down. If someone needs a lift, your good energy should be perfect for it.

Daily Couples:

Your partner's schedule may mean changing the plans you had for tonight. Instead of getting upset, make a new plan. Being willing to adapt to the situation will make things better for both of you.

Daily Singles:

If you're not careful, your emotions will trample all over sensibility. You can't afford to come off like a deranged lunatic, at least not today. So don't run up to your boss, the one you're in love with, and profess your undying devotion. Restrain yourself. Save the hysterics for happy hour.

You intuitively understand what's going on in the lives of others. You're a perfect shoulder to cry on in the hall, but you also make an exceptionally effective counselor. Your questions are always spot on.
