2025 Leo Tarot Forecast (Sun & Rising)

We’re only a couple of weeks away from 2025 so let’s get you ready to step into the new year with a spring in your step, Leo! The 2025 Leo Tarot Forecast below is for all Leo Sun and Rising signs. If your Sun and Rising signs are not the same, check your other sign too for a more complete picture of what to expect in the next 12 months. So far, we’ve covered the 2025 forecasts for Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. The remaining signs will follow during the coming two weeks so keep your eye out for them in case you need one for your Sun or Rising Sign.

The spread I use when reading for all 12 signs is the 12 Houses Zodiac Tarot Spread. This is my favourite spread for year-ahead readings as it covers every area of life.

Something about the Starman Tarot makes me feel that it’s such a good match for the Leo Forecast. I don’t know, maybe it’s because David Bowie was a pretty archetype Leo Moon sign. As usual, I have also pulled an Elder Futhark Rune for more insights about the central theme card. As you probably know, not everything in this general reading might apply to you personally.

Also, if there is anything in this reading you don’t like the look of, remember that the future is not set in stone. Use this reading as guidance to help you make the most of the opportunities in 2025. I know I don’t need to tell you this, Leo, but you always have the power to shape your own future.

2025 Leo Central Theme

The Empress, combined with the Ansuz rune, heralds a year of abundant creativity and powerful communication for Leo in 2025. The Empress embodies fertility, nurturing energy, and the blossoming of ideas. She represents the lush growth of projects, relationships, and personal development, aligning perfectly with Leo’s natural warmth and generosity.

Ansuz, the rune of communication and divine inspiration, amplifies the Empress’s creative force. This pairing suggests that Leos will find themselves particularly attuned to both their inner voice and the messages of the universe in 2025. It’s a year where your words and ideas will impact, potentially inspiring and nurturing others.

To harness this potent combination, you should focus on nurturing your creative projects and relationships, including your relationship with yourself and your self-talk. The Empress encourages you to trust in the abundance of the universe, while Ansuz urges you to express your truth with clarity and purpose. Embrace opportunities to speak, write, or create art that expresses your innermost truths. By doing so, you’ll flourish and support the growth of those around you.
