Haven’t gotten your holiday shopping and decorating done yet? Fear not. The Sun enters your house of efficiency on Wednesday, turning you into a white tornado of productivity. You can blast through last minute errands like a hot knife through butter, but your mind may actually be elsewhere. Like—work. Huh? Who wants to think about the job now, you might be thinking? Well, the smart lion should give some thought to what you achieved in 2016 and where you’d like to go next year.
That’s because Pluto and Mercury are already in this part of the sky, shining a spotlight on your methods of getting things done, from the mundane (responding to e-mails) to the ultra-important (presentations to deep-pocketed clients). You may be a lot more focused on your occupation than you have been in previous holiday seasons, but this is actually beneficial. Get a handle now on how you can improve your methods so that you can hit the ground running in January.
And trust me, you will be reflective. Mercury retrogrades here on Monday. Use the next three weeks to clear off your desk, empty out your e-mail account (vowing to keep it empty in 2017), and finishing up projects that you started. While you’re at it, commit to taking better care of your health and fitness levels as this part of the sky also governs your vitality.
Of all the signs of the zodiac Leos can kick off their 2017 fitness regimens early, already experiencing success by January 1st. While everyone else is getting on the scale and groaning, you can be two weeks into a new plan. That is, if you can avoid all the eggnog, cookies and time zapping errands that have to be run.
Believe it or not, the week after Christmas is loaded with positive aspects for making progress with your career and chores around the house, so you could end up being a whirling dervish of productivity. Think that there won’t be time for love, though? Fear not, oh mighty lion. A sparkling Saturn-Uranus aspect on Saturday the 24th could throw a sweet surprise your way! Singles could meet someone in quite an unexpected manner, so don’t assume you can get away with wearing grubby sweats as you make a last minute Christmas Eve dash to the store.
Many lions will have exciting news to share, as couples could plan vacations to far off lands, conception may take place over the weekend (or you receive happy news now), and engagement bells might ring. Next week has even more sweet news, so stay tuned!
