The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, September 28th – Sunday, October 4th
On Monday, Mars enters your sign putting fire in your belly and inspiring you to get moving on plans and projects. There is a but, of course, and that relates Mars also generating conflict and controversy. And since both Mars and Mercury tango with Pluto this week, you may find yourself in between a rock and a hard place. Do you fight the opposition or take a sideways step to arm yourself? This is not a period in which to take chances but to really think through the various outcomes before you roll into action. What you don’t want to do is issue an ultimatum in the hopes that someone will shift their position. They probably won’t, and you’ll end up having to carry out your threat.
Knowing your enemy.

Monday, September 21st – Sunday, September 27th
Saturday’s full moon highlights the area of travel and communications. And it symbolizes the end of a journey. This can be a short journey or a long one, the point being that it has meaning and purpose. You may be completing a programme of some description or signing a contract, or what takes place will bring a situation to a head so that things will be different going forward. Now is a good time to get your financial affairs in order and to deal with bureaucratic and legal matters, and the more detailed you can be, the better.
Getting it in writing.

The Month Ahead for Leo
October 2026
It may seem as though as soon as you’ve climbed one mountain, another looms ahead, but as you overcome each challenge, you get stronger and ever nearer your goals. And in time, you will see how necessary all those obstacles were. Pluto is now in charge of cosmic affairs, which means there is a certain inevitability about what happens, yet if you are prepared to do everything in your power to achieve your ends, you can be successful. However, especially on or near the 3rd and 26th, you should ask yourself: is this the right action or an act of self-sabotage?

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.
