The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, 5 Jan – Sunday, 11 Jan
These are positive stars by anyone’s standards, so feel confident about the week’s events and, if you can, make a start on a project you hope will bring you success and happiness. Actually, make a start even on something you’ve been putting off because once you’ve got rolling, the rest will be easy. Over the weekend, the Sun and Mars oppose Jupiter, which should ensure that special occasions go off like a rocket and unplanned events are equally uplifting. The second half of January is going to be a lot tougher, so make hay while the sun shines.
Couldn’t be better.

Monday, 29 Dec – Sunday, 4 Jan
This may not be the most jubilant start to a new year but it does have purpose. Mercury squares Saturn and Neptune sending the message that having our dreams fulfilled takes time and work. Saturday’s full moon inspires closure, and it is certainly the time to put the past behind you and focus on the future. There is a chance you’ve done a little too much partying or organizing (or maybe it’s just the season itself) so that you’re one degree under by the weekend. As it is, under these influences, a low profile and time for reflection and review is highly recommended.
Taking it easy.

The Month Ahead for Leo
January 2026
You may already know why the late January period is going to be one for the memory books, but if nothing strikes you as in need of preparation or attention, start investigating. The deeper you dig, the more you’ll find. As soon as the Sun enters the zone of relating (20th) the focus shifts to alliances of the romantic and business kind. There could be important meetings, and for many Leos it is time for “the talk.” Something hidden is likely to be revealed and it won’t be possible to go back to the way things were. In many cases, this is a good thing because fear and mistrust is toxic.

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.
