The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, May 18th – Sunday, May 24th
Plans were made to be changed. Now, I know you don’t want to hear this, but the second half of May is anything but stable and you will need to be adaptable and philosophical in order to get the best out of it. Hopefully, you have been debating whether or not to make a major life change so that these influences can help you get moving and motoring. On the other hand, should events throw out your plans and your timetable, rather than resist and rage at the fates, get on with creating new arrangements. Those of you with birthdays in late July are in the front line of change and transformation.
Be flexible and philosophical.

Monday, May 11th – Sunday, May 17th
Making changes isn’t always a pleasure for Leo, unless you are behind them. And even then, you can be reluctant to leave behind aspects of your life that have provided a certain security and stability. However, it is time to turn a new page of your life book. For many Leos Saturday’s new moon in the area of life-direction points to a new job, a new position or some other circumstances that change the status quo, while for others it is a signal to get moving on your ambitions and desires. The thing is, you can’t grow without change. So, take a deep breath and bid goodbye to an old chapter.
Growth requires change.

The Month Ahead for Leo
May 2026
Almost half-way through the year and you have arrived at a crossroads. Have your hopes and efforts paid off or do you need to change direction? You might not enjoy confrontations, but depending upon how strongly you feel, there may be no choice other than to accept someone else’s terms or go it alone. Events of late January could have a bearing on May’s developments and in general the past has a big part to play in what unfolds. Pluto is a prime mover, so you may not be able to see the purpose in everything that happens nor the immense benefits therein.

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.
