The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, November 9th – Sunday, November 15th
It seems as though life is getting back on track. On Friday, Mercury turns direct oiling the wheels of commerce and communication, and on Saturday, Venus returns to normal service. As the days go by, you should become clearer about where a situation is headed and what you want to do about it. And then there’s Monday’s new moon, which takes place in the area of home, family and the foundations of the future. New moons open new chapters so, during the next two weeks, you can expect a development that will reflect just that theme – a new beginning.
A change in the wind.
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, November 2nd – Sunday, November 8th
You are moving out of troubled waters and even if you are still dealing with a difficult situation, it should feel easier this week. Certainly, you should embrace these beneficial influences whether that means trying a new approach to a problem or channelling your energies in new directions. Mars and Jupiter are almost conjunct and angling Venus, so positive actions get results. Try to overcome any feelings of resentment: what has happened has happened and it cannot be changed. However, you, like a phoenix, will rise out of the ashes of the old.
Consider the phoenix.

The Month Ahead for Leo
November 2026
A lot of good can come out of November’s developments. Mid-month, Jupiter in your sign is angled by Mars and the Sun, not exactly giving you superpowers but boosting your ambition and self-worth. Add to this, a new moon on the life-direction axis (9th) and it seems the only way is up. What will also maximise the upwardly mobile trend is to dare to be different. Take up a new interest. Take the first step to manifesting a dream. And don’t be afraid to buck a trend. You haven’t always had such control over your destiny, so use it wisely.

The Year Ahead for Leo
If you thought last year was eventful, wait for this one to get rolling. The reason why 2026 is going to be a year of momentum and milestones is that from 26 July the cycle of eclipses will affect your sign. Late July through August is going to be one of the most memorable periods in recent years. The events themselves will differ from Leo to Leo but what you will share is an awesome sense that something “bigger than you” has had a hand in them. Further important dates for your diary are 23 January, 16 February and 20 July.
