The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, October 26th – Sunday, November 1st
October has had Pluto written all over it, so if you have come through so far without a hair out of place, you are the exception to the rule. Monday opens on a full moon squared by Pluto bringing one or more situations to a tipping point. Maybe it’s just a case of the Monday morning blahs but it could also be that a certain state of affairs can no longer continue. The problem with full moons is that they up the emotional ante so words are said and actions taken that you could come to regret. This may be the moment to say enough is enough; on the other hand, maybe not.
Take it easy.

Monday, October 19th – Sunday, October 25th
We’re back in the deeps again. Or did we ever leave? Pluto has a grip on the astrology at the moment, which is why you may be knee-deep in situations that demand much of you, whether in physical, emotional or mental terms. There is a small reference to an event that took place around three weeks ago, which may help you handle it better or it may be that an ongoing situation keeps on developing new iterations. It’s easy to say throw love at it, but often when we act with empathy for another’s position, it can move things in the right direction.
Don’t do the first thing that comes into your head!

The Month Ahead for Leo
November 2026
A lot of good can come out of November’s developments. Mid-month, Jupiter in your sign is angled by Mars and the Sun, not exactly giving you superpowers but boosting your ambition and self-worth. Add to this, a new moon on the life-direction axis (9th) and it seems the only way is up. What will also maximise the upwardly mobile trend is to dare to be different. Take up a new interest. Take the first step to manifesting a dream. And don’t be afraid to buck a trend. You haven’t always had such control over your destiny, so use it wisely.

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.
