The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, November 16th – Sunday, November 22nd
Mars has been in your sign for some weeks, which may explain why you feel you’ve been constantly under attack. On the other hand, you could have been fired up, winning battles left, right and centre. Mars is now at the peak of its powers and aligned to Jupiter, which could give you the edge in any conflict or competition. These next three weeks are going to be either the best of times or possibly the worst. While it is good to have the energy and determination to reach your targets, you need to be careful not to cross the line between self-confidence and narcissism.
Don’t overstep the mark
See last week’s forecast below.
Monday, November 9th – Sunday, November 15th
It seems as though life is getting back on track. On Friday, Mercury turns direct oiling the wheels of commerce and communication, and on Saturday, Venus returns to normal service. As the days go by, you should become clearer about where a situation is headed and what you want to do about it. And then there’s Monday’s new moon, which takes place in the area of home, family and the foundations of the future. New moons open new chapters so, during the next two weeks, you can expect a development that will reflect just that theme – a new beginning.
A change in the wind.

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.
