Spontaneity, originality, and the unexpected drive actions–and yet these moves will be in conflict with our instinctual nature, perhaps inspired by some restless material that resides in our ‘blind spot’. It’s a matter of what we don’t know influencing our choices and our way forward, and this not sitting well with our in-built sense of right and wrong, safe and dangerous, desirable and repulsive. There’s no easy answer to the dissonance between impulses and sensibilities–you can only do your best to exploit unique urges and creative ideas that come without completely ignoring the info provided by instinctual response.

Good day to . . . noodle around with innovating, inventing, and creating. Make note of ideas, then step back and give those ideas time to breathe, which should allow you to sort out what’s a good, constructive impulse and what’s not worth using time or resources on.

For those born with the Sun at 22 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). It seems like you’re just now surfacing from some serious, transformative change, dear Leo, and this solar year, through to your next birthday, appears to deliver the pay offs, whether in Love, Money, assets, avenues for talent expression, or in the entirely necessary positive Self-image you must have in order to accomplish. Leos need Love, in all forms, and this year you should get it. What do you need to do now? Resist the urge to ignore values–it may be easy to forget these are what life is built on–and don’t turn off or de-value the emotions, or try to handle them solely through the mind–that won’t work, and will almost certainly create problems. Feel your feelings, and appreciate that they’re offering you vital information–and have fun! Good luck!
