Today it may feel as if we are hurtling toward our own private Sun, traveling toward our destiny at peak speed, problems and solutions laid out before us, and left for us to choose. It’s contradictory, I know, to say we seem to be speeding in a destined direction and that we also enjoy very clear choice, but there’s no actual conflict there–we are on a course that our actions and previous choices have set, but we are still able to alter that course with choices or actions in the present. Really, it’s the best of both worlds, with the assurance that if we change nothing, we will end up exactly as we are headed now, and that if we do make changes, we will definitely alter that course.

So, get a good look at where you’re headed, and what you can do about it, and then act, but act with caution. Though we’re truly inspired today, in terms of making good choices, we are also susceptible to overthinking and so misleading ourselves, or to acting/ choosing out of hurt or rage. Don’t worry, though, as a willingness to be fully conscious helps us avoid Self-sabotage or acting out of our worst impulses and damage.

Good day to . . . set a new life course. Jupiter’s recent direction should offer us the optimism to follow our ideals, to make alterations in the spirit of hope, and to ‘think Big’, and today’s influences give us the clear sight and Self-possession to make solid and highly positive changes.

For those born with the Sun at 21 Leo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). This solar year, liebling Leo, through to your next birthday, you will have to face a number of major life events, the kind that make permanent change in you and your circumstances. Are you ready? I’d say Yes, as long as there are a couple of things that you’ve attended to, or will soon: you need to hold an extraordinarily clear set of highest values in mind at all times–and if you haven’t sorted those out, do it now! You also need to be at ease emotionally, sure of feelings within relationships, your own and others, enough that you can turn your attention elsewhere and know that you’ll have that support if you need it. And don’t rely on the spontaneous, the sudden, the accident, or some miracle of science to change your scenario–it would be a foolish thing to wait on, right now, and won’t offer rescue–that’s up to you to provide for yourself, but as long as you are facing things head-on and ready to respond when required, you should find that transforming your life will largely be for the positive, and largely be under your control. Good luck!
