Leo, 2025 unfolds with you stepping into the light, embodying the majestic spirit of the lion, ready for a year of respect and admiration. Your path is lit with opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally, urging you to embrace new hobbies and ventures with open arms.
Supported by a stellar planetary lineup, including Venus, Neptune, Mercury, and Pluto, your ventures are destined for prosperity, with family and friends rallying behind you. Business success and travel will mark your professional journey, inviting you to seize every opportunity that comes your way.
2025 kicks off with Mars retrograde in your sign, so it’s not feeling too good at the start, Leo. You might struggle with being frustrated over something, and you can feel like everything is getting on your nerves. You can lash out easily, and end up creating more drama. This started early December 2024, and lasts for a month in your sign, so you have to work on using it productively, otherwise it might just be setbacks and fights the whole time.
Retrogrades in your sign are excellent times for second chances, so try to think of something you'd like another shot at. This could be the perfect time for it. This can be strongest for you in 2025 if you’re a Leo born July 26th or earlier, and Mars is conjunct (aligned with) your natal Sun.
Mars comes back to your sign April 18th - June 17th and is no longer retrograde, and this can restore your energy, enthusiasm, and drive to take action. You can put yourself back on the right road, and what you embark on can be something you work on for the next 18 - 24 months. Be smart and get going.
During that retrograde, there is a New Moon in your sign on July 24th, and this is extra strong and beneficial for a second chance. You can be enthusiastic about it, and there can be opportunities for you to take off. Given both Mars and Mercury retrogrades in your sign, they may connect together, and the second chance you begin with Mars can see major developments with Mercury; or it might be that you actually get two second chances!
The emotional moon is the yin to the sun’s egotistical yang, so the full Pisces moon/total lunar eclipse in early September is hugely enlightening for you. This highly reflective time brings some uncomfortable emotional topics to the surface that you won’t be able to hide from, and it might make you feel a little uncomfortable, which is totally ok. Your personality can’t ever truly be blocked, as the sun is now by the moon, but it can be subdued. Take inspiration from this relatively quiet time and make room for new feelings.
Mercury then retrogrades in your sign though, July 18th - August 11th, and this is more energy for things to get thrown off, but also to pursue a second chance, so this might be a time for big second chances in your life. Do things over and see what you can do better now.
Wounded asteroid Chiron is still travelling in driven Aries (who rules the first house of self and is a fellow fire sign) this year - which can make you question everything you thought you knew about yourself. An identity crisis is one of your worst nightmares and can fill you with anxiety. Luckily, you get a break from this angsty energy from late July to the end of the year, when this troubled pairing goes retrograde and gives you room to remember your power.
Love & Relationships Horoscope
The year promises an incredible start for you, Leo, with your relationships being the source of your joy. The thought of revitaliσing your romantic life will occupy your mind. The people in your daily life will show unprecedented generosity. Remember, you're known to be a lively and effervescent person. If direct declarations of love are not your style, look for alternative ways to express your emotions. Be creative to avoid getting trapped in routine. The fall will bring changes, presenting an opportunity to resolve any conflicts. Communication should be your go-to strategy. Throughout the year, you'll navigate various situations, not alone but with companions. However, communication might not be your strong suit, leading to challenges in keeping up with events. Despite this, you'll strive to demonstrate to your friends their importance to you by inviting them to join you in activities. Numerous opportunities will arise. Spending more time with your loved ones will strengthen your bonds. Choosing to address and sort out your relationships means drawing closer to those who truly care about you.
Fun and excitement fuel your relationship this year, Leo. The governess of love, Venus, starts the year out in quirky Aquarius but quickly switches gears into sensitive, romantic Pisces a few days into 2025. You’ll want your partner and relationship to live up to your elaborate daydreams about them/it in your head, and then you’ll be disappointed when that doesn’t happen. Love is sensitive now but has a dreamlike quality that’s hard to resist. This isn’t the time for confrontation. Arguments will just spoil the dreamy mood.
Venus retrogrades in your intimacy sector March 27th - April 12th, and Mercury does as well March 29th - April 7th, so they overlap. This can expose any existing issues related to intimacy and emotional bonds that remain, and you can become aware of how this has gotten in the way of truly connecting with others. You can see what you need to work on in order to get better. This can also be a time where you reconnect with an old flame, and sparks can blow.
As powerful, sexy Mars moves into Sagittarius’ adventurous sign between early November and mid-December, the stage is set for something exciting to happen in your love life. Relationships started now might be short-lived, but they burn bright and passionate. Short-term flings are super fun, but your high expectations make it difficult to find someone who lives up to your standards, even for a night or two. If you do, go for it! Remember, having some fun is your main objective this year.
Mars overlaps with Mercury retrograde in this sector November 9th - 19th. Retrograde planets tend to throw things off, so you may have love issues to deal with in November. You may be frustrated with loved ones, or someone might be stirring drama. Try to have patience and don’t be desperate for attention.
The big thing in 2025 for you though when it comes to relationships is Neptune remains in your intimacy sector until March 30th, and comes back October 22nd to end the year; and Saturn is also in this sector to May 24th, and returns September 1st to the end of the year. Neptune and Saturn toured this sector in 2024, and you’ve likely had to work on old issues related to intimacy and emotional bonds. Hopefully you’ve worked through that by 2025, and you can focus on strengthening existing bonds and growing closer with those you care most about,
Pluto is in your relationship sector all of 2025, and this is relatively new as Pluto has been changing signs. Pluto is now officially in this sector to stay for many years to come, and you can see major changes happening in your connections, Leo. You can attract more powerful people into your life, and you can take your relationships seriously. You can be more passionate with others, and want intense connections.
The September 7th Lunar Eclipse is in your intimacy sector, and you can commit to the emotional bonds that are good for you and healthy, and they can deepen. This can help empower you and make you feel stronger. At the same time, you can feel ready to let go of any that have become toxic and no longer serve a positive purpose.
As intense Mars, the planet of action, partners with your creative, outgoing sign between mid-April and mid-June, your natural leadership qualities, drive, and ambition emerge. With your increased energy and willpower during this powerful transit, you become even more determined to achieve your career goals and are willing to put in the extra effort to reach the top. This placement also boosts your confidence and assertiveness, so you’re not afraid to voice your opinions and ideas, making you stand out in the workplace. Just be careful when making impulsive decisions that can stand in the way of your success.
Career & Money Horoscope
Mars is in your money sector June 17th - August 6th, and you can make the most of financial opportunities you have, and make good financial decisions and plans. You may have to spend on something, but you can be smart about it so it’s not a big deal.
One major transit to be aware of affecting your finances this year is Uranus moving into Gemini in early July, with its retrograde period from early September to the end of the year (after it slips back into Taurus in early November). While direct, Uranus in Gemini can bring potential instability and unexpected changes - but also innovative opportunities - to your financial landscape. Unexpected financial fluctuations could mean sudden windfalls or unexpected expenses, and you’ll have to be thinking on your feet and ready to make quick decisions about your money either way. Financial risks may tempt you during this transit; carefully weigh the pros and cons before making anything final.
With the planet of luck and expansion spending the year bobbing between Gemini and Cancer, it brings a mix of opportunities and challenges for your financial situation. While there's potential for increased income and financial growth, keep your spending habits in cheque and avoid making impulsive decisions, both big and small. Focusing on building a strong foundation for your financial future by investing in education, networking, and nurturing your home/family life will bring you the abundance you seek in 2025.
Uranus remains in your career and life path sector until July 7th, and comes back November 7th to end the year. Uranus is nearing the end of its time in this sector for you, and it has brought a lot of changes for your direction and the goals you want to pursue or how you pursue them. There are final pushes with this in 2025, and it can be strong with the April 27th New Moon in this sector, bringing opportunities for action, and with the November 5th Full Moon in this sector, bringing results and reaping what you’ve sown thus far.
Eclipses hit your money sector with a Lunar Eclipse on March 24th and a Solar Eclipse on September 21st in your money sector. The Lunar Eclipse can show you issues you need to work through in order to straighten out your finances or secure yourself financially for the future. You can be more emotionally invested in making sure you’re financially secure. The Solar Eclipse can bring opportunities you can pursue to improve your financial situation, and these might be big opportunities.
