You’re probably wondering what to expect from this new year (and decade) while it’s just getting started, right? Well, you’ll find out very quickly in the form of a dramatic Lunar Eclipse that rattles the sky on January 10 and shocks the area of your chart that governs daily routines. Keep in mind, however, that this eclipse is linked to a greater narrative that started in 2018 (the last installment took place on December 26, 2019) and will continue through July 2020. Changes in your schedule and structure have been slowly but surely transforming your life, so be aware of all the ways your world is expanding under this lunation.

A rare and powerful (potentially life-changing!) event occurs on January 12, when stern Saturn connects with transformative Pluto. This cosmic coupling encourages you to double-down on your lion’s den, asking you how you can create an environment that supports your growth.

Saturn and Pluto haven’t met up since 1982, so this might be the first time they’re ever feeling the impact of these planets. Use this alignment to create fluidity between your schedule and your sanctuary, carving out time and space to find artistic inspiration. Your comfort zone doesn’t have to be limiting, Leo—solid ground can help you find your footing as you reach your fullest potential. Saturn and Pluto won’t meet up again until the year 2053, so take advantage of this supercharged union.

Your cosmic ruler, the Sun, glides into your opposite sign, Aquarius, on January 20. This is an exciting astrological season for you, Leo babe, because Aquarius energy activates the area of your chart associated with serious commitments and long-term partnership. Single kitties may soon find their cosmic plus-one while coupled up lions will take an important next step with their boos. Simply put, this is prime cuffing season for you, so don’t be surprised if you’re driven by romance over the next few weeks (and right in time for your half birthday—obvs).

On January 24, the Moon joins the Sun in Aquarius, fusing your emotions with your actions. Now, you’re beginning to understand that your relationships aren’t a solution to solitude. In fact, you can be lonely even when you’re in a happy, healthy partnership. In order to find true harmony, work on your relationship with yourself. Take yourself to dinner and a movie and ask yourself the important questions: What are your hopes? Fears? Goals? Desires? It may sound corny, but it’s true: You’re never alone when you’re with yourself. By the end of the month, make this concept your personal brand.
