You have been the celestial favorite since July 2014 when Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, entered Leo for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter is standing by to help you realize your greatest wishes, so choose carefully. You will have special favor until Aug. 11, at that time Jupiter will speed on to Virgo. When you have Jupiter at your side, as you do in this rare instance, you tend to enjoy good health and prosperity. You can widen your circle of friendships as well as get introduced to VIPs in high echelons. Overseas travel to a location you've not seen but would be excited to see now usually happens, too.
In the later part of the year, money will roll in generously, and your income will be directly related to proposals and projects you enacted during the period between July 16, 2014 and Aug. 11, 2015. If you still have a proposal you would like to show an influential person, get busy and make that appointment — time is running out. You will not have Jupiter in Leo again until July 2026.
The wonderful part about your personality, dear Leo, is that you love fashion and have fashion-forward style. You would rather have several beautifully designed outfits than a closet full of lesser threads. At the start of every season, you plan out your purchases from outfit to accessory and shoes, too. You catch the twice-a-year runway shows, and you carefully note the makeup the designer showed with each look. No wonder you wear your runway look with supreme confidence!
You never forget to wear your designer sunglasses, so if you aren't famous yet at least you look like you are. Paparazzi will snap your picture as you enter the many A-list parties, charity benefits, and art showings you attend on a regular basis.
Leo is the sign associated closely with royalty. Your sign is ruled by the Sun, which is at the heart of our social system. It's the star that all the planets dutifully march around, so the sun has a unique role. The constellation of Leo also holds Regulus, the brightest fixed star in our universe, at 29 degrees Leo. Just as the Lion rules the jungle, Leo was born to rise to a leadership role and become the ruler and final
authority. In America's history, most of our 44 presidents have been Leo, Aquarius, or Scorpio — all fixed signs. Our current president, Barack Obama, is a Leo.
Your colors are associated with royalty, too. In ancient days, kings and queens wore royal garb of fabulous fabrics colored in rare dyes. These dyes of scarlet, red, purple, and gold were too expensive for the common man to afford. These colors became associated closely with Leo. When a royal made a public appearance, these colors helped the common people spot their leaders easily. Your birthstone gem is the precious ruby.
Upon returning home from parties, you might be tempted not to take off all your makeup, but doing so is a must. Have premoistened makeup-remover towelettes on your nightstand. So even if you are exhausted, you can still remove your makeup. Store a serum and moisturizer there too, so you can get a little hydration as well.
When it comes to skin care, you tend to buy premium lines, and you expect to see results within a reasonable time. You don't buy drugstore cosmetics as a rule, as you like to try on the products for a sense of the texture and colors. You also like to huddle with a department-store stylist. He/she will know your preferences and can fine-tune your look for the coming season in a very individual way. Working with the same stylist over time can help you perfect your signature look.
This year, a lot of news is being made with high-technology textures in foundation and brightness of blush, lip color, and eye makeup. This year, investigate liquid lipstick, which can give you incredible shine, and the new generation of foundations that have a velvety texture, which are as light air. Armani has been experimenting with liquid eye shadow that produces gorgeous results with ease.
When you think about it, wearing a product that was introduced in the last 10 years may or may not be your best bet. Why not check up on what's new and right for your skin concerns now? New colors bought at the start of a season are always a boost, so have your makeup done and enjoy the compliments. You've changed, the world has changed, and your beauty products might need to change, too.
Mercury will be in retrograde until June 11, and Venus won't go into retrograde until July 24. That means your best time to shop for cosmetics will be when Venus tours Leo, from June 12 to July 18.
