From your perspective, those who are humourless about life’s ironies can be very dull company. Yet much of what you’ve faced recently has been so perplexing that you’ve found yourself taking things very seriously indeed. Take a break. Get away from it all and you’ll return with a fresh perspective.

You’re by no means a control freak. In fact you love surprises. But being unable to make decisions about crucial elements of your life is another matter. While this is the case, and perhaps in a number of situations, many are taking you into new, exciting, potentially worthwhile, yet unfamiliar territory. This justifies giving up a certain amount of freedom. What you get will, at minimum, be interesting. But it could add to your life in ways you simply hadn’t conceived possible.

One of your greatest gifts as a courageous Leo is the sheer joy you experience when faced with a new challenge, whatever its nature. This is exactly what 2025 is bringing your way. There'll be a wide range of ideas or offers to choose from. Plunge in, knowing you'll learn more from experience than discussion. Equally, be willing to rethink existing plans, possibly more than once. Each version will be unexpectedly exciting and more informative than those before. And finalising arrangements? Take your time. The year of 2025 is all about discovery.
