WEEK OF December 19 – 2 5, 2022
No one takes disappointment harder than a Leo—that’s an astrological fact. But enough with the sulking, doom scrolling and glass-half-empty POV already, k? Although certain situations haven’t played out exactly as you hoped, all is not lost! In fact, there’s SO much to gain starting this Tuesday, December 20, as bountiful Jupiter cycles back into Aries, taking its second (of two) spins through your expansive and optimistic ninth house. Between now and May 16, 2023, your world will get a whole lot bigger, louder, faster and more exciting. If you’re willing to take some chances and go along for the ride, this dynamic Jupiter phase can hurtle you into a whole new level of success. Travel, study and immense growth are part of this six-month transit.
You already got a taste of this energy from May 10 to October 28 when Jupiter took its inaugural lap through Aries. But just as you were stretching your wingspan, Jupiter turned retrograde on July 28—which dashed a few hopes about how far you could actually soar. Thankfully, this second Jupiter circuit through Aries contains zero retrograde days. That means you can absolutely floor it without fear of confronting massive traffic jams. Jupiter is totally at home in the candid ninth house. This may loosen your lips, too, inspiring you to articulate what’s on your mind and in your heart—and maybe even write a book, curriculum or scripted series about it. Freelancers will have opportunities in the coming year to expand your client roster. But don’t wait for people to randomly find you through LinkedIn or other professional avenues. Tap the global, risk-taking energy of the ninth house and reach out to clients you’d like to work with. If you’re cool with your current gig but would like to work more independently, become more “intrapreneurial” and propose a new initiative that can give you that freedom. You may need to update your own skill set with advanced training, but ultimately that will only be a good thing for you!
Wondering “how” you’ll pull this off? Leave that to the Capricorn Sun. A strong gust of practical magic arrives on Wednesday, December 21, when el Sol sweeps into the sign of the Sea Goat and illuminates your sensible sixth house until January 20. On Friday, a new supermoon in Capricorn brings a second round of organizational momentum. (Try not to obsess over the tinsel scraps that your cat has strewn about the house…at least until Boxing Day.) Reality checks could occasionally rain on your fireworks fest, but when they do simply shift into project manager mode. Once you start crunching numbers, mapping out timelines and designating roles for the Leo soul squad, you’ll be reminded of how doable your vision really is.
More From ELLE
This salubrious solar cycle may have you dreaming of a gluten-free Christmas or a less-sedentary celebration. (Can you say, living room flash mob?!) When you have a free hour, fill it with quickie trips to the gym or a short series on a yoga app. Keep the momentum going into 2023 by organizing a post-New Year’s ski trip or joining a six-week boot camp. The one downside is that this gung-ho Capricorn energy may interfere with your chill time. You don’t have to turn every celebratory moment into a photo shoot for your style blog or go overboard with the gift wrapping—especially if that cuts into your ability to be present with the people you love.
