The Week Ahead for Leo
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.

Monday, May 4th – Sunday, May 10th
Pluto returns with attitude! This planet of transformation is moving through your seventh solar house inspiring profound experiences in love and relationships. If you have a July birthday or planets and points around 5 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio, you may already know what I mean but if not, be prepared for the earth to move or to have some aspect of your existence turned upside-down. Discussions with authority figures or people who have an influence on your future could be on the agenda; if so, prepare for a deep dive and an uncomfortable moment or two.
Let others lead the way.

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.
