Somebody seems to be trying to shift the blame for their unwise decisions in your direction. That’s no surprise. They’ve done that before. But what’s puzzling is that you’re hesitant about pointing this out. The individual in question is expert at making others feel guilty, which is exactly what they’ve done with you.

Worrying as recent setbacks seemed at the time, now that you’ve had time to reflect on them, you’re recognising these, and similar situations, were forcing you to let go of familiar but restrictive arrangements. Remember this when October’s many unsettling events shake things up. Battle them, and you’ll lose out. Unlikely as it seems, these, too, are preparing you to embrace amazing but entirely unexpected opportunities.

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.
