2004 for Leo

by Robert Wilkinson

In 2004, Leos continue to accumulate the resources and assets that can stabilize the 12 year cycle of magical new vision and learning opportunities that began Summer of 2003. This year, do the detail work, and see what you value and why, and continue to follow through on established routines through October 2004, when you'll get a more ideal view of shared values and resources, creativity, or children. At that time you begin a new self expression and way to future wealth and power.

You're still learning how to be more efficient in your spontaneous self-expression and ability to play with imagination to regenerate your life. And the long term idealism, otherworldliness, or confusion in your partnership sector continues for several years to come. One bright spot is that revolutionary and unpredictable Uranus has finally left Aquarius, the sign of your relationship sector.

The erratic changes of the past 7 years will give way to more compassion and intuition in this area, and you got a sense of what's coming the next few years between mid-March and mid-September 2003. For those in a relationship, your partner has the ability to become more intuitive, visionary, and broadminded, but also confused, confusing, or deceptive based on a misunderstanding. Trust your own intuition here, but nail down the specifics so you don't get lost in weird feelings.

In 2001-2003 you redefined your friendships, ambitions, and long range goals, and since June 2003 have begun to learn which motives are no longer fulfilling, which self-destructive behaviors are a problem, and spending more time in solitude and/or contemplation of the whole of your life. This fulfills, and perhaps ends, what began for you between 1975-1977. In 2004-2005 you'll harvest the results of your old self image while getting a new look at your life "mythology" and how it's hindered you, or allowed you to get to this
point of maturity, power, or authority.

You will have the ability to attract different types of friends this year who are not as controlling, manipulative, or pragmatic as those of the last few years. They'll be much more versatile, intelligent, and willing to explore new information and multiple points of view. You will also hear from old friends, or make new ones that may resemble old ones in some curious way, in April, August, and December.

For July Leos, the first half of 2004 indicates major adjustments in who you relate to, and how you relate to them. Many will have to sacrifice willfulness or eccentricity between January and April which echo the sacrifices of September 2003. The areas of growth are in Capricorn and Libra, so be responsible and fair, balanced and mature. Grow into your authority with grace and reasonable good humor, since late September starts a 7 week period where you're under a "Yod" configuration, or the "Finger of God." This invisible hand will squeeze you into a narrower focus while keeping things subtle, nebulous, and transforming.

You'll have to adjust the balance of your life in some way, and accept the authority or duties offered then, since you will attract the attention of those in power. Other adjustments will come in the realm of money and/or legacies, ideas, beliefs, communication style, and how equal you do or do not feel in your relationships. Mars can create hassles, or the need for some form of right action without being hassled, in February, late May through June, mid September, and mid-to-late November. End whatever you need to in May-June, and turn to the new 2 year cycle that begins in late June or early July. Just slow down and don't allow impulsive or hasty speech or actions to create needless accidents!

For August Leos, your 2 year cycle begins between early July and early August, so you also need to slow down, take it easy, and not allow the fast pace to create needless problems during those weeks. End whatever you need to between late May and early July, since you'll have a lot on your plate after that, energizing the vision or adventure you were offered in the Summer of 2003. Overall, you can use power in very subtle and creative ways, and become a good juggler of multiple goals, ambitions, or friendships, resolving dualities without contradicting yourself or getting confused. Mars can create hassles, or the need for some form of right action without being hassled, in late February through late March, mid-October and late November through December.
