Dear Leo,

From the ashes a fire shall be woken, Alight from the shadows shall spring, Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.

J.R.R. Tolkien.

The Year 2015 could be a challenging one for the individuals born under this sign of the zodiac. You are likely to find yourself pulled away in different directions. The pressure could become intense and paucity of help or support or resources may have you feeling isolated, lovely and helpless. However, to shift the perspective this is the year that may help you realise the potential lying dormant within you. It is general human tendency to break frontiers only when pushed? There are very few people who go that extra mile when the going is good. It is only in high pressure situations that breakthroughs happen. With most of the planets remaining in adverse transits you may need to keep your face to the sun and take on each new day as if it were a new opportunity to rebuild. You'll be surprised by the level of tolerance and tenacity within you. Wish you an exciting journey into discovering the real you! For indeed glory does require guts!

As previously mentioned, the year 2015 is one where you find yourself faced with tremendously challenging situations. However second half of the year may be relatively bringing relief to a certain extent. The year may begin with money related issues plaguing you. There is a definite indication of shortfall vis - a - vis, the commitments lined up before you. Sudden expenses and medical expenses may add up to the squeeze you feel. A bad deal or a bad investment could also cause loss of money. You will indeed need to be very careful about investments. It will be best to avoid speculation and stock markets altogether. Try not to borrow money, if you can. The cycle of debts in this phase can be pretty vicious.

You may even feel the pinch as someone who had promised help or return of your own money backs out. You will have to use the existing funds judiciously and avoid impulse purchase or spending to impress!

Those engaged in service will need to tread cautiously. You may feel that you are being singled out or picked on purpose. Avoid the temptation to retaliate or get into a confrontation. You may be assigned additional work which neither gets you credit nor compensation. However this is definitely not the time to go warring against the unfair dealings. Instead you could be giving people an opportunity to weed you out!

The best approach is to maintain a low profile and avoid all kinds of office politics and gossip, lest you be made a scapegoat. This is also a time for learning lessons in humility - you will need to take critical review of your work / performance objectively. If you are in a fairly senior position at work, you will need to maintain an unbiased stance towards all those reporting in to your position.

You are strongly advised to maintain all accounts and balance sheets in order and keep them upto date. Problems related to taxation and accountability may crop up - it is better to take preventive measure to avoid it.

Some of you may have to face sudden difficult conditions at work - falling out of favour with people in authority, difference of opinion, transfer to an unfavourable department or location etc. In extreme cases, you may have to look out for another job altogether. Treating co-workers and colleagues with respect would be ideal. Also, you may find that you've created a problem situation for yourself by over committing and now the targets seem hard to achieve! There maybe problems, especially through properties embroiled in litigation. It would be best to settle matters amicably as resolution of court cases in your favour is hardly likely during this phase.

Businessmen and entrepreneurs should avoid starting new ventures or investing significant chunk of money during this time or you'd be setting yourself up for losses. You will most definitely need to rein and in your anger and keep your temperament in check.

There maybe some slow relief from the month of July onwards. This is when the crazy expenditure may reduce. But it could be a while before you are able to reclaim life as you would like it! Those working in partnership may find themselves disillusioned with the other partner's way of working and may be tempted to break away. On any case caution, austerity and calm are the buzzwords for 2015.

There may be some rough and tumble to deal with on the home front too. You may have to spend significantly on repair, renovation or relocation of a home or a property, Not only is there a financial pinch but you also feel saddled with undue responsibilities probably some members of extended family. There may be resentment brewing in the heart as you feel you are taken for granted and there is no one to support you when you actually need them. It could be a stressful time for partnership with spouse. You will need extraordinary levels of patience and compassion to pull through the phase. The lesser you exert your will and control over the other person, the better your relationship would be. Youngsters and people having ambitions plans for higher education may find it difficult to see their plans through. Health of the elderly may be a cause of concern. Your expectation of help and support from your family may go unmet. The second half of the year eases out on you, but you are still worried about setbacks to reputation.

The Leo needs to be especially cautions this year. Saturn's transit through 4th House indicating a vulnerable heart health and digestive system. There could be a slowing down of metabolism, more acidity, sleeplessness and anxiety. Meditation, Yoga, alternative medicine and Japa of the Mahamrityunajaya Mantra can help.
