The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, July 27th – Sunday, August 2nd
The Sun and Jupiter in your sign oppose the Moon and Pluto in Aquarius making this a full moon for the memory books. Closure and completion are full moon themes, as are tipping points. However, not every Leo will have important events unfold in their own lives, but if you have planets and points on or near 5 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio, you almost certainly will. This is a time of endings, whether you are signing a contract or bidding goodbye to an old pattern of life, but it is also a time of conclusions, of understandings.
Conclusions.
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, July 20th – Sunday, July 26th
Astro-scapes like this are rare, and what happens at this time will have important consequences. Jupiter in your sign opposes Pluto, so the good will be fantastic and the not-so-good will send you back to square one. (Boom-bust is the theme of this planetary combination.) Neptune and Uranus are also involved, which casts a rather fateful aura over events, and it may be difficult to see how they have come about and certainly what part you may have played in them. It may be an exaggeration to say that humanity is at a crossroads, but you could be at a major turning point.
A turning point.

The Month Ahead for Leo
August 2026
Any month with a solar eclipse in your sign is going to prove memorable but, especially on and around the 12th, events could turn an ordinary life into something extraordinary. Ideally, it needs to be you who makes a life-defining decision but if the cosmos does it for you, so be it. You’re going to be making discoveries, whether you’re in an unfamiliar place, on a learning course or someone reveals a secret. More surprises are in store at the end of August, and even if you think you can continue to put up with a situation, you may find that you cannot. It’s done and dusted.

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.
