Happy Birthday, Leo! Your upcoming year is full of interesting drama, which you may be used to by now. Areas of life related to finances, material goods, and personal energy will all be growing and glowing, overall.
An exciting development of the upcoming year is that money will seem to be flying its way into your pockets. Your relationship sector of life is not neglected either. Continue reading to find out what is in store for you over the next year!

Nostalgia surrounds your birthday month this year. You may find yourself temporarily reminiscing on a love from the distant past. Don’t stray from your current path, as your memory is glossing over negatives that you are forgetting about. The best path is to stay on course with your present relationship. Around September 9th, anticipate verbal foreplay, as your intimacy flies through the roof with your partner. Singles are driven to speak up and make a move around this time.

October and November are months where you are loving harder and stronger than ever before. You will begin plotting the next steps with the object of your affection. Planning to move in together or a special engagement may be on the agenda. You will be going above and beyond to win this special person’s heart. You will close 2016 with a big focus on communication with friends and family. Can your fingers text fast enough to keep up?

2017 will start out smooth. Everything is stable and generally positive for your love life through April. During the beginning of the year, you are coasting through life. Around February 10th, 2017, there is a lunar eclipse in Leo. It will be hitting you hard and making you feel more bonded to the people you love.

After April, you may hit a temporary wall for several months. This may be a time of emotional regression, so be advised to not make any big moves that you might regret at this time. By the time your birthday rolls around in 2017, you are snapped out of it and back on the prowl for all that love and life offers.

This is a year of reaping what you have sown for the last few years. It is not a year of shakeups, but it is a year of financial comfort. It is the perfect time for a large purchase, if you want to buy a house, car, or large appliance. Your savings are at a point where it is time to live a little. Go ahead and splurge on some extra upgrades. Your name will be flying under your new sunroof!

For a majority of 2016, Mars is in the fifth house. This means that you are shining like a star in the workplace. Your confidence is heightened to new limits, and your ambition and motivation are off the charts! 2016 is not the year to quit your job, seek a career change, or go back to school. Save all of that for next year. Enjoy the rewards from past labors. You deserve the break!

2017 starts a time period for career transformation. You may find yourself feeling bored with the stability you have worked so hard for. Opportunities for change are at your door next year, so enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts, Leo!

In mid-February 2017, be cautious of someone at work taking advantage of your generosity. Your money-related luck boosts dramatically next June. Within reason, take some chances in the stock market or lottery. By mid-2017, you already should have some returns on any risky investments.

A lunar eclipse on August 18th will have you feeling eccentric, like something is “off.” You will rebound from this crazy funk by the start of September. Your emotions quickly go back to being more balanced. During September, you are extremely social with friends, clubs, and organizations. You may be more focused on politics, and you may even advocate for a cause that is dear to your heart.

Mentally and emotionally you are strong until the tail-end of the year. Throughout December, there are just not enough hours in the day for all of your various projects that you have going on. You have the holiday spirit, but be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Be sure to stay caught up on your sleep, so you don’t pass out before midnight on December 31st!

January 2017 begins with some serious New Year resolutions. The influence of Uranus connecting with Saturn has you coming up with all sorts of goals you want to make happen. You are still being affected by Mercury Retrograde until January 8th, so don’t come up with anything too crazy for yourself.

February through April shows an easy path of doing your day-to-day routines. Go with the flow until stress levels pick up in May, as you prepare to make some career transformations and big changes. June is a great month for your educational pursuits—go ahead and enroll in a course or two. You will be figuring out which direction to set sail next by your birthday next year!
