The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, 26 Jan – Sunday, 1 Feb
As long as you are prepared for a big push of some description, you’ll have a good week. But if you’re planning to chill or you’ve sidelined a situation in the hopes that it will resolve itself, you’re in for a rude awakening. Push has come to shove. The focus for all these powerful transits is relationships, so people could be coming to you with offers that will change your life in the best of ways or you may find yourself in something of a power struggle. Sunday’s full moon is in your sign, and it could take you back to events on and around 24 July last year. Endings and beginnings indeed.
Endings and beginnings.
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, 19 Jan – Sunday, 25 Jan
There are many ways in which these powerful influences can make an impact on your life, but the underlying message is that all things must change and the more you get behind that change, the easier it will be. You are a courageous sign and once you’ve made up your mind there is little you cannot achieve, so rather than try to put back the pieces of a broken situation, consider the advantages of starting afresh, blazing a new trail. A new world is unfolding out there and there’s another awaiting you personally. By the 2 February, you will be a lot clearer about what this all means.
Flow with the current.

The Month Ahead for Leo
January 2026
You may already know why the late January period is going to be one for the memory books, but if nothing strikes you as in need of preparation or attention, start investigating. The deeper you dig, the more you’ll find. As soon as the Sun enters the zone of relating (20th) the focus shifts to alliances of the romantic and business kind. There could be important meetings, and for many Leos it is time for “the talk.” Something hidden is likely to be revealed and it won’t be possible to go back to the way things were. In many cases, this is a good thing because fear and mistrust is toxic.

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.
