Happy Birthday Leo

Leo's are known for their self confidence, formidable energy and creativity drive. They are leaders who are loyal and protective. They often advance in life just on their own talents. Here's your predictions, Leos, for the upcoming year.

This year you have choices, a whole buffet of choices. If you, like most Leos I know, have spent the last years just taking care of other people, this year the focus is on taking care of yourself. While you make this shift you will see if others choose to take care of you too. Since you are naturally generous when you receive from others you may instantly try to do things for them, stepping back into your old role. But this is a year when you should lie back and allow others to take care of you for a change.

This is a good money year and you will be able to hold on to a larger percentage than previous years. Consider paying down some debt with this windfall but put most in investments and for your future. While you may be tempted to put money into home renovations choose what you start very carefully or you may find that you get half way through a project before you realize you have overspent.

You show short trips this year. There will be a family occasion that takes you somewhere. Longer trips are more difficult and will have some delays. Be careful planning overseas journeys or you may find you end up with poor accommodations. Stay very flexible with your itinerary.

Kids may be the challenge this year. They could drain your pocketbook very easily with education expenses and technology wishes. Remember, the most expensive may not be the best choice.

There is a lot of positive energy around career this year. You can choose to look around for a better position while negotiating with your current job for promotions and other perks. While there will be some changes at your company overall you show a lot of intuition around your job. If you feel the tide is turning against you, you will easily be able to steer clear of trouble.
