The Week Ahead for Leo
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!
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, October 12th – Sunday, October 18th
Pluto is poised to turn stationary direct, which may explain why you feel as though you are stuck in limbo. A situation appears to have stalled and/or you feel unable to reach a decision. It may be that more information needs to come to light or simply that more time is necessary. The trouble is, with Mars in your sign you are fired up and anxious to get going. Attention to detail and the history behind a matter is one of the ways to use the time, and if you see a red flag, rather than deal with it on the spot, start digging. What lies beneath is all-important.
Restraint.

The Month Ahead for Leo
October 2026
It may seem as though as soon as you’ve climbed one mountain, another looms ahead, but as you overcome each challenge, you get stronger and ever nearer your goals. And in time, you will see how necessary all those obstacles were. Pluto is now in charge of cosmic affairs, which means there is a certain inevitability about what happens, yet if you are prepared to do everything in your power to achieve your ends, you can be successful. However, especially on or near the 3rd and 26th, you should ask yourself: is this the right action or an act of self-sabotage?

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.
