The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, September 7th – Sunday, September 13th
Reality may be in short supply this week since Mercury will be opposing nebulous Neptune, although if you need inspiration or can take the opportunity to step off the treadmill, who knows where imagination and contemplation could take you. It is important not to react to a piece of news or someone’s comment in the heat of the moment. You may have misinterpreted the information. Likewise, rumours could be rife but to play into them could not only be unnecessary but damaging. Friday’s new moon opens a new chapter for finances.
The only currency is the truth.
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, August 31st – Sunday, September 6th
Not perhaps the cheeriest start to the week, but it has purpose. Mars is angling Saturn, which on the plus side can help you deal with a challenging task and achieve a long-lasting result but on the minus side, may make everything seem awfully hard work. Persist in the knowledge that what takes time and proves painful is not just good for the soul but the stuff of ultimate success. Mars is currently moving through your twelfth solar house, which may explain why you feel less than your best and why you may be questioning the future of a situation. All this will pass.
Keep on going.

The Month Ahead for Leo
September 2026
Leos are leaders and like to be in the driver’s seat, but you’re going to have to be a passenger for the moment. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Go with someone else’s ideas and preferences. You’ll learn a lot, but you’ll also end up with a better result. What you don’t want to do is carry the can for something that is not your fault. There are things you cannot see for now so watch and wait. Mid-month, tensions in a relationship could propel it to a tipping point, and while you are better off without a toxic situation, an acrimonious ending is not in your best interests.

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.
