For someone as proud as you, it's not always easy to open up and share how you really feel. And remember, your ruler is the Sun, which is the heartbeat of the heavens. Lion's need to keep in trim, and if you are a fantastic natural athlete, and work out regularly, then all well and good. But what about if you like to stick a little nearer to your pride? Well, there is nothing to stop you from walking around the block each day, or going for a swim in the nearby leisure centre or fitness suite.

But that's the more physical side of your health...what about the more emotional implications? This is a year when Saturn is going to be strutting its stuff in an ever more assertive way, and this planet can be a restrictive influence - especially from the 18th February through to 7th July, because during this period, you may find that family, home or personal issues may not always go exactly to plan, and when fortitude is going to be important. However, the solutions are likely to come from realizing that you, just like everyone, has vulnerabilities, and if you choose the right people to work with about this, this year can prove to be very cathartic, a time when you learn a lot about what makes you really tick.

Developing your emotional well-being will become even clearer when Jupiter moves into your 12th Solar House in late June, triggering a year's journey that can surprise you with who and what you encounter. But to really tap into the goodness available, you may have to let that mask of invincibility drop. Once you do, all sorts of good things can follow, so, why not try?
