Leo April 2024

April’s two eclipses bring about your manifesto to the world! Both are about your self-expression, and taking a leap of faith with it – which you MUST do. Trust yourself, Leo! There is also delicious traveling lined up which will broaden your perspective. Altogether, April is a month for you which simply flies – off the radar – as you boldly communicate.

The first lunar eclipse of 2024 occurs this coming Monday, March 25, so you may already be feeling its effects. In your third house of WORDS – expressed through proposals, social media, or branding initiatives (even contract details) – you have a penumbral lunar eclipse full Moon in Libra, which is a relatively gentle one. Not nearly as dramatic as the total solar eclipse which follows it, two weeks later, in Aries on Monday, April 8. And this one occurs in your ninth house of exploration, along with most of your intense planetary activity.

You’re already venturing into the unknown. It will be difficult, but rewarding; it will make you proud of yourself, it may also make you feel sad.

Your current journey is about love. It is ultimately to protect your future with your most important partner – whom you may have to handle delicately. With Pluto in your seventh house of soul mates, you can’t help but think about this as March ends.

Anything that is off kilter between you and another should be healed now.

Remember, Leo is ruled by the HEART. When you give, man, you give big!

For you single Leos this is the best time to find your true love. For you coupled Leos, you are choosing to give a lot right now – and a fair amount of sacrifice seems to be involved.

Think on this great bit of wisdom from Jorges Luis Borges, “Love is only the beginning of a terror we can barely endure.”

But Leos are braver than most. And without the heart, you really are not going to be happy. So – give it your best shot, dear Lion.

This applies to business as well: look beyond the appearance. Trust your survival instincts. Keep talking with your friends – even if you get into arguments with them. They’re worth their weight in gold.

In your career and place in the world, expect some things to start happening after Friday, April 19.

If there’s a question you need answered: my answer would be to hang onto your home for all you’ve got.

For the rest of you is going outwards, expanding your horizons outside the home. In your ninth house of expanded horizons you have a most fantastic line up of planetary bodies!

In here you have:

Awesome shining everlasting Sun – your natural ruler, of course

Laser beam thinker and speaker Mercury (in retrograde April 1 – April 25)

Gorgeous Homecoming Queen, lovey Venus after April 5

A solar eclipse new Libra Moon Monday, April 8

And my favorite asteroid, our wounded healer Chiron, which gives energy to tap into the wisdom brought about by our pain and hardships – yes, it is there – and to access that wisdom.

And your ninth house, traditionally ruled by adventurous Sagittarius rules:

All that is far away and international countries

Travel

Education

Other languages and cultures

Your beliefs and philosophy

Religion

Mind expansion

Broadening your horizons

College, School, Classes

Publishing, Academia

Legal matters

And – sometimes – falling in love with someone from an entirely different culture, even country (even planet!)

Looks like, as much as you don’t want to, you’re going to make a move or a big change, right?

Your mind as well as your horizons expand as you embrace the new and the different. Exotic travel beckons. You are educated in a totally revolutionary way.

And you welcome a ceasing of the difficult changes and challenging transformations in your domestic everyday life.

Remember, everyone goes through this – everyone on the planet – so be kind and compassionate to everyone out there. The hardest thing is to have patience. But with patience, come the rewards!

Your secret charm this April? Stay open and flexible. Think with your head.

As April gets fully underway, you become so much happier about your main relationships. And, what’s more, even with work and business partnerships, you enjoy them!

And how you manage to do this – and look so good – on no sleep is beyond me. You know your royal namesake sleeps up to 20 hours a day, don’t you? To truly replenish your fire, you cats need to sleep.

However, you look fabulous, so no one would know. Nor of the intense emotional strain you have been going through, nor of your worry about partners. Leo is ever the perfect royal, no sweat through the grace.

One can never keep the lion down for long!

You are ruled by the greatest of them all, the Sun, and the entire universe revolves around you. Remember this when your self-worth gets challenged. Which it has been in this eternal drama of your life.

It’s hard to have real clarity when you look at your relationships, and it’s time to give yourself a break about that now, too. As long as you keep faith, you will see how lucky you are as April continues. Remember: cats not only always land on their feet – they also have nine lives!

In brief, dear Leo, you create your own reality now. The more sunlight you allow into your thoughts now, the more your life shines, and the more YOU shine.

Acknowledge that it is your own light, not anyone else’s (in spite of so many surrounding you) and that you have earned every right to it. Enjoy it. You deserve it!

Best overall timing: State your needs, your deal breakers, and your intentions before mid-April, prepare to hang in there and to state no more demands as of April 19, and to watch the rewards come in.

As most of the planetary energy is going between your eighth and ninth houses, it is a fairly dramatic and horizon-opening time. You will be making important decisions, including financial, for the future.

The results will be excellent, but it’s a bit difficult to see that now. Children – yours or someone else’s – are being quite the handful!

You’ll be at your best in partnerships. No matter how alone you may have been feeling. You will attract a  lot of people at this time. You attract your soul mate to you this year.

So now is the time to get out and party. The Sun, your ruler, is in a fellow fire sign, and it is time to celebrate your energy. You enjoy dressing up again, the wilder the better.

Single Leos, start out by taking advantage of the full Moon in your third house of communications and sharing your inspirations with others. You will be at your most persuasive. Prrrfect!

You meet your soul mate at a public gathering.

Attached Leos, you find out what your love is really worth. (Hint, it is priceless.)

You have a more playful month than you probably even imagine now…

Happy Spring, dear Leo!!
