Your Horoscope for Leo

by Susan Miller

Adding to the likelihood that you’re about to elevate your career into a new realm is the position of Mars, now in Aries. Everything will start to cook when Mars moves into Taurus and your professional tenth house on May 18, helping to boost the energy of the May 16 new moon even further.

Mars is the planet of competition, energy, and drive, bringing courage and persistence—it’s the planet you want in your career house to help you advance. You have not had this sort of help from Mars in two years, so make the most of it. The entire solar system appears to be encouraging you, acting like a loving relative who wants the best for you, and will root for you as you step forward. Mars will stay in your tenth house of professional advancement from May 18 to June 28.

On May 10 the Sun, your ruling star (currently transiting Taurus), will receive shimmering beams from Jupiter (currently in Cancer) in a sextile aspect, denoting opportunity. The Sun will be in your career sector, and although May 10 is a Sunday, you will feel the energy of this sublime aspect as early as Friday, May 8, or as late as Monday, May 11. It appears that VIPs are discussing you behind the scenes, which may soon result in a reward for you, such as a promotion, plum assignment, or other acknowledgement of your fine work.

Two days later on Tuesday, May 12, Mercury traveling alongside the Sun, both in your tenth house of career advancement, will receive a supportive, sextile beam from Jupiter.
