Love:

Single: Being single doesn’t work for most Leos. You love the attention (which includes gifts admit it) foisted on you by an attentive lover. Having a plus one is something you crave. However you do your best life work when you are unattached. 2012 is a career year for you and not a year to let boys get under your skin and interrupt your journey. Dating is fine - as long as you keep it casual. Great sex is something that propels you lionesses in life, so find a friend with benefits and keep it simple. An Aquarius, Aries, Gemini or Sagittarius are all contenders. For those of you who crave real love in your life, April and October are great months for finding a boyfriend. Just make sure you make him part of your life, not the whole enchilada.

Couples: Your career takes on a whole new persona this year and some of you will simply make such huge work strides, your other half will feel jealous and left out. Plan something special with your partner around January 23 when you are on the same wavelength, and your emphasis is on him, not your crackberry. An overseas odyssey with him in August helps put the romance back into your relationship, however if you are footing most of the expenses, you will return to huge credit card bills and a sense that things have to change. If he is a supportive partner, willing to listen to your rants and raves and be your ally you when you mess up, he’s earning his keep. However if he seems content to lie on the couch watching footy shows while you dash off for endless meetings, he may not be the right one for you. The final nail in his coffin could arrive November 13 when a solar eclipse in your domestic zone questions just how ‘happy’ your home really is.

Career:

This is the spotlight of your year. Take advantage of the first half of 2012 if you’re aiming for more career accolades because you could hit some rocky patches during the latter part of the year. Relocation or extensive business travel is possible through June 10, with Jupiter the planet of luck and opportunity transiting your tenth house of career and ambition. Once Jupiter moves into your eleventh house of wishes and friendship mid 2012 through June 27, 2013, your work load decreases slightly and you get to enjoy splurging on your friends with your corporate credit card, front row tickets and VIP passes. A stimulus package or raise offered to you in March or April is exciting, but don’t crow about it too much. Not everyone will be as delighted about your success and could try to undermine you in June. July is your toughest work month and some of you will falter however by November you are untouchable.

Money:

The harder you work, the more money you make…right? Not always - especially in this uncertain economy. However with motivating Mars in your self-esteem and cash flow zone through July 3, you will find that your bank balance is higher than usual and you will get the deposit needed to buy that flat, car or start your own business. Paying for classes and new equipment is not only a tax deduction but an investment in you, particularly in April and August. While it’s nice to reward yourself for all your hard yakka, how many designer handbags/shoes/dresses do you really need? Donate or consign all your ‘out of fashion’ designer purchases and use the money/tax deduction wisely. In February a joint investment deal sounds enticing and by late August you’re ready to put down a wad of cash. Just make sure it’s all legit and contracts are iron clad. Finances really improve in October and by the end of 2012 you should end up with more zero’s in your bank account than last year.

Travel:

Saturn, the planet of focus and discipline in your domestic zone from October 5 2012 through 2015 has you interested in discovering your family roots. A trip with family in November makes you closer and happy to find out just what go-getters your ancestors were! Couples most romantic travel time is in September with Venus the love maker in your sign. Pack your sexiest outfits and do your part to make him feel sexy as well. A fun filled girl’s long weekend in June is the perfect stress reliever.
