Leo
Leo will be thriving very differently compared to the definition of thriving that they have in mind for 2025, and this is going to be an atypical year than before.
Earlier, mood swings were not many parts of your life, but this time around, you will see that you are turning obsessive, moody, and very different from what you used to, in fact, you are feeling surprised that this is truly going to be you.
Impulse is not new to you, but being moody and changing decisions, being mutable and flexible is pretty new to your typical fixation-oriented behavior that never liked to deviate away from reality as such.
You would become obsessive about things, and there is an extremism in your approach to life now in 2025. For example, you wanted to take this awesome trip, you know you do not have the money, you are still guiltlessly going ahead and then taking things for a ride in life, not worrying how will society react, what will parents say and when will you recover this kind of money back?
You decided I want to eat healthy, then you would say let me eat everything diet related only and completely swing away from sweets, sugar intake control and ban all forms of carbohydrates taking it to an extreme or the vice versa, if you indulge into junk, then you will only eat junk, and you will eat it till you have completely ruined your lifestyle and then worry about it.
So, such extreme patterns will be noted in your approach to life in 2025 and why is this happening?
Well, you are up for a ride due to Rahu and Ketu transits, especially in the initial few starting months of the year, things will remain as such itself due to Rahu being in Pisces while Ketu remains within Virgo so expenses are here to increase only as your financial mismanagement is going to increase.
These will be accompanied by tendency to become addicted to certain activities but the worst that you can do to yourself is develop addictions that are irreversible because then you will feel there is nothing to loose no matter what losses you foresee.
Financially, this period from January to May is not that good so you have to stay on your toes and be cautious about your expenses, try to maintain clear budgeting and accounting of all your expenditures and more importantly stick to the essentials despite your tendency to indulge into luxury.
You had taken some decisions in life that you know you cannot reverse anymore and you always had this fixation on being selfish or think only about yourself.
Now, from May onwards in 2025, you will be decentralizing yourself and as Ketu will move to your own sign, as well as Rahu will go to seventh from your sign into Aquarius, so you will be more people oriented and you will feel that you want to upgrade yourself.
Unlike Virgo who suffered a lot from this Ketu transiting over their moon, you are more audacious and you will be viewing this as an opportunity to change your habits and break away from all your addictions.
Some of you may suddenly feel like let me get married or tie the knot or commit to that relationship, something that never crossed your mind earlier or simply was not your priority.
You will like what is there in corporate 9-5 jobs? Let me start my own business – spoiler alert, kindly refrain from that strongly and try to capitalize growth in whichever pursuits you have!
You will feel burned out from maintaining your societal image or connections all the time because you will perform a lot of family duties out of obligations and you want to keep everyone aligned and people will be the centre of attention for you, and not yourself this time around.
Greed is a good reinforcement to facilitate growth when utilized correctly but becomes a dangerous problem when contemplated into jealousy.
This year you need to rule yourself with the same mantra and indulge into luxuries to validate yourself and not to show off to others or shine, which is again pretty against your usual self that loves to show to people – see! I am successful and better than you – this mindset is going to erode away from now on this year!
The earlier year which is 2024 has been indeed fully kept you engrossed, you started doing some new activity or other whether it was finishing a new house, starting a masters or new educational degree or even some course up-skilling to help you in the future, you are trying your level best to grow.
You will now start eroding connections that have remained inactive for a while because slowly you will see them fading away this time around, and in many cases you will yourself take an exit out of this situation entirely because now you do not feel that you are now needed and will be seeing many familiar faces disappearing, due to changing of your priorities in life altogether.
This will also show that there were people who you have wrongly valued in the recent past and neglected the people who actually mattered so now it will take you through an introspection phase to refine your friend circle properly because you will realize that people who are just there to celebrate are not the ones that show up when you need them.
Further, you will see that the connections that were actually worthy have no intent to come back to your life so it is going to be a fresh start altogether for you folks from May 2025 onwards this year when Ketu comes to your sign.
Saturn transiting will be over 7th from your sign for the initial part of the year till March end of 2025 and then it will go 8th from your sign in Pisces which is going to make things difficult.
You will not receive acknowledgement for your sacrifices enough now and then you will finally see that you are not feeling the burden to prove a point to someone and you are not here to prove your worthiness to others either as you will move on.
This will also increase your responsibility towards the family and it will be a very thankless phase indeed where you are going to feel burned out especially if you are married then the pressure will come from the in-laws side and if you are not married, well, then you will be desperate to tie the knot as stated earlier and then bear this pressure too.
If you are planning to remain single for the next 2-2.5 years, well that is the ideal best then you will make a lot out of this introspection phase but unfortunately you always feel the “fear of missing-out” more than others so you will get very cranky if you make that choice.
You will start becoming very secretive about your personal life and many other pursuits.
You will not want to inform the world contrary to your normal nature about what are you ambitions, what are your plans, what are you upto? This is going to be a very opposite vibe compared to your normal attention seeking tendencies.
You will enjoy asserting your superiority complex in a weird way now, earlier you wanted attention but now with 8th from your sign having Saturn for the remaining year, you will feel superior the way a Scorpio does – this person does not know anything about me! How lame is this person? They don’t know who I am or what am I upto? LOL!
This tendency will increase more and more, not just in 2025 but even later in 2026 as well.
You will witness a lot of dissatisfaction later this year from workplace and will crave expansion and growth from the same. You will feel bound to your workplace and may even face difficulties and misunderstandings with your bosses.
The boss might even gaslight you and blame you for inefficiency and lack of ownership despite the best efforts you might give and you cannot afford to take this personally to yourself because you will anyhow later initiate growth and move out of the existing job.
Do not try to waste your time seeking a sense of belonging with people – be serious – whatever decisions you have taken in 2024 and 2023 will not let you have free time to pleasure yourself and this will backlash later so be vary about that indeed!
Jupiter will try to bless you the whole time and protect you from all the issues that you might face at work and in life. All together, Jupiter will ensure that instead of you only eroding old connections, you get to form new bonds from friendships and also be open to more networking despite your lack of eagerness towards the same.
This will help you facilitate a better job switch and also make sure that your lost finances especially due to the initial parts of the year stand recovered later with all the struggle paying off eventually.
Jupiter will also make you incline better towards forming new neural connections that will replace old ones and ultimately is giving room for you to correct your selfish behavior that only used to think about yourself and provide you enough time to overcome covert narcissistic attitude you may had towards some people.
You are extremely bad at apologising and Jupiter wants to teach you that it is important to feel blessed and at the same time Saturn will teach you to be respectful of worthy people, hence, overall there is an attitude adjustment attempt by both these major planets throughout this transit and it is upto you to make a choice whether you come out of it stronger or stay with an inertia about your past and keep lamenting it.
Good time for you to capitalize gains from market later during this year but briefly you will also suffer setbacks, losses big enough to even impact your savings too. So, be cautious and a wise move will be to start moving small amounts of money to a different bank account other than your usual expense bank account to feel secure later.
There are 4 eclipses in 2025, and the first set of them will happen in 2nd and 8th from your sign, so it will be drastically calling you out as a warning to get ready about your finances as there will be mismanagement from your end and you will face several issues around the same as you realize it is not in good shape, unexpected expenses and many other unnecessary expenses on luxuries will happen and you need to step up to prevent this actively.
You will see that there is a change in lifestyle also needed, and you may face health issues around March post which you might go around dietary changes to induce better health within yourself so be vary about the same.
Your communication will also suffer a setback post March, earlier you used to identify yourself as a very proactive and optimistic person and now you are going to feel super detached then stop communicating with people all that much.
The other set of eclipses will happen within your own sign and 7th from your sign in September, hence, you will suffer this setback actively and you will most likely change your identity or take a shift in your approach as said earlier that you will ask people, what you want from me instead of being a selfish person so overall a wonderful shift and you will learn what it means to truly be a leader!
Your definition of leadership so far was about how can I develop myself to show a path to others to follow and now you will realize that it is not the one who shows the path but the one who people acknowledge automatically for their path so far that truly becomes a leader – so it was not about taking the lead – it was about becoming qualified enough so that people themselves acknowledge me as the lead – this shift of mindset is very important and Saturn will teach you this thoroughly indeed.
Career wise this is a good year because you would see that you will not tolerate stupidity and then a change of job will make you leap towards a better opportunity automatically so be open to change and you will not have to ask around for this change, the situation will automatically come into your favor eventually.
Financially, only the starting few initial months of the year and October-November of the year will see a dip in your finances and mismanagement multiple times so try controlling the same.
You will learn to scrutinize your expenses and you will also be making multifold luxury related expenditure as well whether it will be related to interior decoration of your homes or a new vehicle or that expensive bag that you were aiming for.
It is a good year for giving any competitive exams and since a few months back this has been disheartening for some Leo students.
The teachers will support you and you will ace these exams this year and you will enjoy a good status from the same.
There will be chances of resentments and emotional baggages in relationships this year and you need to recreate the spark within the same as you feel detached from the partner and it will be difficult to tolerate them but if you are single then you will decide to tie the knot or start actively dating to do discovery of a new potential partner.
Makeover will happen this time around with transformations in different areas of life but this will also be accompanied by a void imposter syndrome within yourself because you might feel that I have achieved but why am I not happy?
I have won the war, but at what cost? And this time around this will remain strongly on top of you because of Ketu coming over your Moon. If your confidence declines due to this, then it will start impacting your lifestyle and hence emotional state will highly determine physical health as well.
Ketu will cleanse you up by making you feel void and emptiness at the core a lot and Saturn will make it more adverse by going 8th from your sign to make you feel despair to a new level.
This will lead to conflicts of interest and you have to learn the hard way – Ignorance is bliss and then revaluate all situations with a fresh mind altogether.
When you will stop believing in yourself, you will break down – the way you react to losses shows what you truly are made up of and you will build character this year around.
Start accumulating all the work you plan to do and don’t question the same through overthinking as when you enter 2026 you will look back and see wow, I have not just grown but I have evolved – and that dopamine will compensate for all the lack of it in 2025!
Some important remedies for the year 2025 or 2082 Vikram Sampatha by Vedic Hindu Calendar:
- Learn the Aditya Hrudaya Strotram or listen to it every Sunday atleast to refresh yourself
- Offer water in form of argha to Sun everyday if possible before 12 PM or atleast on Sundays
- Avoid crash dieting or taking any dietary lifestyle to extreme simply out of desperation
- Manage finances closely from January to April and then from October to November with more expenditure on essentials than on luxuries to avoid mismanagement
- Don’t blame yourself if you face tough career situations at workplace or business – see this as a cleansing moment to eliminate old neural connections within your mind and don’t shy away from taking a leap to the next big opportunity.
- Avoid ego at all costs and try to rectify mistakes and taking accountability wherever you felt you wronged someone – does not matter whether the other person accepts your apology or not, do it and then take a stand for your own dignity after observing the results
- Post March, try visiting Shiva temples to see relief from Saturn’s Dhaiya over you!
