Leo Monthly Horoscope

Eclipses bring blackouts and blocked out text. They also bring total unawareness. Why go there? Your eclipse, involving the Sun (your ruler) is on April 8th and 9th and involves foreigners, foreign countries, the worldwide web, academia and/or publishing.

You also have Mercury Retrograde in the same zone of your chart through May 14th so there will be cancellations, rescheduling and change.

Travel or relocation is very likely now – or you’ll be laying the groundwork for a future trip or move. It’s an excellent time to research the town or country you have in mind, as you’ll be given access to a wide range of sources and information networks to help you. Decide after May 14th when you know what is going on.

If you are laying the groundwork for a holiday, or even a new life in a new place, you may not necessarily be aware of the realities at the eclipse. In the months or years ahead, though, you’ll realise that all the ‘homework’ you did at this time, had a special part to play. Even if you can’t get away now (or research a change of scenery) you will find that people from other cultures, regions and countries play a bigger part in your life. Avoid the eclipse and be aware of Mercury Retrograde through May 14th.

The Ninth House also rules publishing, both online and through the world of books and media. Education, study and teaching are also Ninth House concerns.

Can you choose another time? It is my duty to inform you that the Titanic sank on Mercury Retrograde – and Flight 19 disappeared. Mercury rules cars, trucks, bicycles, motorbikes, boats, ships, aeroplanes and helicopters – so you can see why its backward motion, in your house of travel, but also connections involving the publishing world – or academia – can also turn your life upside-down.

Do you really have to make big decisions, as a teacher or student, now? Astrologers say, choose another time to publish, sign or print. Choose another time to fly or emigrate. If you are going, have Plan B and C and take care on that April 8th, 9th eclipse.
