Leo — the year ahead

Jupiter is in Leo — your 1st house

Jupiter keeps expansion, generosity, opportunity — and excess. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of your own body, appearance and what you begin.

Saturn is in Aries — your 9th house

Saturn keeps limits, duty, delay and what time forces on you. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of long journeys, study, law and what you hold true.

Uranus is in Gemini — your 11th house

Uranus keeps disruption and change that arrives without warning. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of friends, groups, allies and what you are aiming at.

Neptune is in Aries — your 9th house

Neptune keeps imagination, confusion and what dissolves. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of long journeys, study, law and what you hold true.

Pluto is in Aquarius — your 7th house

Pluto keeps power, compulsion and what will not go back. It stays long enough that this is the ground the year is worked out on rather than an event: the house of partners, agreements, and open opponents.
