Leo Horoscope for February 2020

This is a February of consolidation for you, Leo, and of introspection. In the aftermath of a rather intensely transformational previous month, you are now feeling into the new direction that your life might take, in this new year. This includes a renewed sense of life mission. You are bemused by recent alterations in what you consider your career and profession, which are getting stronger and, perhaps, stranger. This month also has a relationship focus for you, as you as well attempt novel directions in this important area of life. The Full Moon of late evening of February 8th, is especially poignant in this regard, as you seek your own developmental growth largely through the medium of partnership, plus depth researches into the dark places within you. During the last half of the month, you will likely be taken even more to the inside, rethinking issues of life and love. You sense that, going forward, your activity must resonate with all that you are, top to bottom, or else lack ultimate validity.
