But therein lies the problem, does it not? If you approach people with a chip on your shoulder, it’s hard to see your personal relationships improving, regardless of the transits. A 7th house Saturn opposing a first house Leo stellium could exactly be the signature of someone who feels special (Leo) to the point of feeling opposed by anyone (7th house) who comes across as insufficiently deferential to Leo’s royalty.
Using astrology to your benefit isn’t about waiting for a “good” transit to fall into your lap. It can be countered by a difficult transit. Or a normally beneficial planet like Jupiter can be not much more than a happy smiley button in life. Jupiter in the first house can be associated with weight gain, as it rules the principle of expansion.
The key to benefitting from astrology is in using it as a tool for self-awareness. And that requires introspection.
One transit that should benefit you is Pluto in early Aquarius trining your 10th house Mars. This is a good time to put a lot of energy into your career. But be careful to avoid Pluto’s tendency to dominate other people. (What I think your deleted posts expressed here.) Nobody likes a bully, and if you try to dominate other people in your workplace, it can create a lot of pushback from your co-workers.
One thing I noticed about your chart is the whole signs houses. Which is fine. A lot of astrologers prefer them. But in the common quadrant house systems like Placidus, your Leo planets migrate into the 12th house. The 12th is a tough placement for sun Leos, because it is the house of “self-undoing.” And Leo is all about self-expression! The secret is to align with supporting a cause or constituency greater than yourself. Work for that common good. Then you will get all of the praise and recognition you need — and that you cannot get by pursuing them directly.
A centered Leo is fun-loving and generous. These are qualities to cultivate, that are completely consistent with your natal Venus in Leo and a transiting Jupiter in Leo.
