The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, June 29th – Sunday, July 5th
Drum roll, please. On Tuesday, Jupiter enters your sign for a twelve-month visit, during which time you as a person will grow along with other aspects of your existence. Efforts you have put in over the past twelve months should now begin to yield fruit. This week may not reveal any of Jupiter’s powers to bring you happiness, however, the reason being a Mars-Uranus conjunction (Saturday). This transit is the epitome of the unexpected and the unsettling. While there is a great truth in the aphorism, no-risk-no-reward, you need to be a little more careful with your actions and statements – they could backfire.
A new beginning.
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, June 22nd – Sunday, June 28th
Separating truth from fiction is your task for the week ahead. Did so and so really say that? Is that duck really a duck? In some mystical traditions, our world is an illusion, but whether it is or it isn’t, we still have to live in it. The rumour mill is grinding at full force and with the Sun in your twelfth solar house squaring nebulous Neptune, you may not be your usual assured self. Your fears may well prove unfounded; likewise, your hopes could be unrealistic. Stick to the facts and avoid changing a strategy or belief that has served you well over the years.
Feet on the ground.

The Month Ahead for Leo
July 2026
2026 has been a year like no other, and July promises to be a month like no other. A spectacular alignment – at its closest on the 19th – could preside over a major turning point and although there is no guarantee you’re going to love everything that happens, events serve a greater purpose. The full moon of the 29th is another key moment: a relationship may well be in the mix whether you are about to make your vows or a situation reaches a tipping point. You may well feel that fate is responsible for what happens but, as always, it’s what you do about it that really counts.

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.
