Highlights of the week December 9 through 15, 2024 for Leo based on major astrological aspects.
Dear Leo,
This week, from December 9 to December 15, we find ourselves in the heart of Sagittarius season, a time that energizes your 5th house of love, creativity, and all things that light up your soul. This vibrant energy is meant to bring joy and passion into your life, but there’s a catch: Mercury has been retrograding through this same house since November 25, stirring up a storm of unpredictable emotions. One moment you’re inspired and elated, the next you might feel melancholic or irritable, often without a clear reason. On top of that, Mars entered its retrograde phase in your sign last week. This shift has likely left you feeling drained, out of sync, or simply not your fierce, confident self.
The universe may be throwing you a curveball, Leo, but don’t lose heart—this is temporary, and brighter days are ahead. Still, with retrograde Mars camped in your sign and your 1st house of self-expression, the lens through which you see the world might feel skewed. Right now, you may be perceiving conflict, defensiveness, or challenges in places where only understanding and harmony exist. The fiery planet is distorting your outlook, painting the world in shades of red and making patience a luxury that feels hard-earned.
A Tense Opposition: Mars and Venus Clash
The cosmos aren’t done with you yet. On December 12, Mars in Leo will form a tense opposition with Venus in Aquarius, lighting up your 7th house of relationships and partnerships. This planetary tug-of-war may bring latent disagreements or unresolved emotions to the forefront. If you’ve been avoiding certain conversations with a partner—whether in romance, business, or friendships—this cosmic clash could amplify tensions.
At the heart of this celestial drama lies a contradiction: Mars wants results right now, pushing for action and resolution, while Venus urges patience and compromise, longing to smooth things over for the sake of harmony. This push-and-pull dynamic can leave you feeling conflicted and unsure about what you truly want. The reality is, there are no clear winners when two powerful energies square off like this. What matters is finding balance by listening to your own needs without dismissing the desires of those around you.
December 15: Full Moon in Gemini Brings Reflection
As the week nears its end, the full moon in Gemini on December 15 will shine a gentle but illuminating light on your 11th house of friendships, team collaborations, and future aspirations. This is the only full moon of 2024 in Gemini, making it an important moment for reflection. Take a step back to evaluate your achievements over the past six months—you’re likely to find a milestone or success worth celebrating!
For those Leos who’ve been taking on tasks solo, the next two weeks will be an ideal time to connect with like-minded individuals or seek out trustworthy allies. Look carefully at your social and professional circles to determine who brings value and inspiration into your life. The end of the year is all about reassessing your connections. Not everyone belongs in your royal inner circle, Leo! Set boundaries and establish clear standards for the company you keep moving forward.
Good News on the Horizon: Mercury Goes Direct
December 15 isn’t just about the Gemini full moon—it also marks the end of Mercury’s retrograde, which has been wreaking havoc in your 5th house since late November. When Mercury finally turns direct, it will clear the fog and make room for clarity, creativity, and recognition. You’ve been waiting to feel like yourself again, and now the cosmos are giving you the green light to do just that.
In the weeks ahead, expect your natural charisma and fiery individuality to shine brighter than ever. Whether it’s a creative project, a romantic relationship, or a professional endeavor, you’re positioned to take center stage and make your mark. With restrictions easing in your communication and creative abilities, you’ll feel a renewed sense of passion and joy, reminding everyone why you’re the star of the zodiac.
Looking Ahead
Leo, this week asks you to navigate tension with grace and patience, especially when it comes to relationships. The full moon invites you to honor your achievements and look ahead, while Mercury going direct promises to breathe life back into your natural talents, playfulness, and magnetism.
Keep faith in yourself and in the fact that these temporary frustrations will soon pass. The cosmos are clearing the road ahead so you can step into a season of passion, celebration, and royal confidence. Stay open, reflective, and patient—you’re just a few steps away from reclaiming your throne. Shine bright, Leo!
