Leo 2026 Horoscope
Leo 2026
2026 Overview
Until leaving Cancer, you are in the final months of a 12-year cycle and in retrograde motion until 11th March, the process of closing old doors is well underway. By the time Jupiter turns to Leo on 30th June to begin a new 12-year Jupiter cycle of expansion, your luckiest and most expansive year in over a decade and a year where there is the potential for major new beginnings, you will be ready to move on. This is also when Saturn and Neptune’s return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery will make sense, for when Jupiter returns, he will move into a friendly aspect to and will remain in harmony with both until he leaves Leo in July 2027. With Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returning on 27th January and Saturn, the planet that can give you the power to move mountains if you have to returning on 14th February, for months, this is something you will have been preparing for.
These are not the only slow outer planets on the move this year, with Uranus, who after six years left your career sector last year only to retrograde back in four months later also getting ready to leave, this time not returning again for another eight decades. Until then, with a lot of activity in your work sector in January, this will get the new professional year off to an empowered start. Uranus is here until 26th April, by which time the faster planets, starting with Venus’ return on 31st March and ending with Mars’ departure on 29th June, will be there to lock his influence into place. Meanwhile, this will see Uranus return to your communication sector, where he will not only spend the next six years, but resume a partnership he formed with Pluto in your relationship sector last year.
Love
While Mercury will start the year in your romantic sector, he will not only leave on 2nd January, but after that, there is very little activity on the romantic front this year and instead, in 2026 and the focus is more on your relationships. However, as the Sun had only just left your romantic sector on the December solstice, Mars a week before, Venus on Christmas Day and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment on 30th December, with a chance to start the year on the right foot. As Venus and Mars won’t visit your romantic sector in 2026 and the Sun and Mercury won’t return until December, this is something that needs to be held onto, while the Moon will continue to return every four weeks to tend the romantic flame.The most important of those visits will be the one that creates the Full Moon on 31st May, the most romantically charged Full Moon of 2026. Meanwhile, as the year begins, it will be business as usual on the relationship front with Pluto, the planet of change and transformation on his own in your relationship sector and having just finished the first full year of what will be a 20-year visit. That will change when on 18th January Venus, the planet of love returns to your relationship sector to both work her magic and kick off what will be the most active months of the year on the relationship front. She will be followed by the Sun, whose return on 20th January brings you to the point in each year when the solar spotlight will always shift onto your relationships, while from 28th January to 15th February Mercury, the planet of communication will return to do what he does best.
With Venus not leaving until 10th February, the Sun until 19th February and Mars not until 3rd March, this is going to get the year off to an empowered start on the relationship front, though it is also just the start of the journey. With Pluto not leaving until 2044, this is a journey that will not only continue for the rest of the year but for decades, though with a lot of help in the early months of the year to get things off on the right foot. This includes an eclipsing New Moon on 18th February, something that offers a chance for new beginnings. However, Pluto won’t spend the whole year or even the majority of the year on his own with the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment and especially commitment to your relationships returning for her first visit to your relationship sector in four years from 29th March to 12th August, before retrograding back in again from 24th October 2026 to 15th January 2027.
Money
While this financial year is divided into two halves, with the first half more focused on the side of the financial fence where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have and the second half when the focus will be on the income side of the financial fence, the fact that this is even the case means there is a major shift about to take place. Since as far back as 2010, there have been major outer planets moving through your financial sector and while there were parts of the year when the income side of the financial fence became active, rarely on their own and without having to keep things balanced. You had a brief taste of that last year when after 12 years Neptune left your financial sector at the end of March and Saturn two months later.However, not for long, with Saturn back within three months and Neptune a month later, though with the planets that moved through your income sector last year taking advantage of that rare gap. Those planets are long gone and you not only start the year with Neptune and Saturn still in your financial sector, but with the faster planets returning to keep this side of the financial fence active, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. However, change is in the air for when Neptune leaves your financial sector on 27th January, it will be another 150 years before he returns and when Saturn leaves on 14th February, it will be another three decades before he returns. The days of continuous planetary activity on this side of the financial fence are over but starting with Venus’ return on 10th February and ending with Mars’ departure on 10th April, with a chance to take your financial power back.
Apart from the Moon’s monthly visits, your financial sector will remain empty for the rest of the year and until the Sun and the faster planets return next year. This will leave the field clear for the income side of the financial fence to thrive, which it will start to do when Venus returns to your income sector from 10th July to 7th August to begin what she will be working to make the most lucrative weeks of any year. This will be followed by the Sun’s return from 23rd August to 23rd September and Mercury’s return from 23rd August to 11th September. However, the planet that will really exploit this will be Mars, with the warrior planet of the cosmos returning to declare war on income roadblocks and barriers from 26th November 2026 to 22nd February 2027.
Business
It is less that after an initial push things are going to go flat and more that on both the job and career fronts, the real push is going to happen in the first half of the year, but in a way that instead of departure from the norm, is a return to the norm. Until Uranus returned to your career sector in 2019 there had been continuous planetary activity on the career front for six years and in that time even Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion even moved through. Uranus left in July 2025 but four months later he retrograded back to tie up loose ends and as you move into the New Year he is still here and will be until he leaves on 26th April, this time not returning again for another eight decades. This comes just as the most active and busiest months of the year on the career front will be kicking off, starting with Venus’ return on 31st April.While Venus will leave on 24th April, two days before Uranus, with the Sun here from 20th April to 21st April, Mercury from 3rd May to 17th May and Mars not returning for his first visit in two years until 19th May, this will keep the momentum going. So much so that until he leaves on 29th June, Mars will be making these some of the busiest six weeks of the year on the career front. However, when Mars leaves this will be the end of the years where there has been near continuous planetary activity in your career sector, with the pattern shifting back to what it was before Uranus returned in 2019, but with all the experience, resources and momentum since then banked.
Meanwhile, it is while you are waiting for Uranus to turn direct on 5th February and for Venus to return to your career sector on 31st March to kick off the most active months of the year on the career front, the year begins with things already at that point on the job front. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of January in your work sector, the year always begins with the solar spotlight on your work situation, job matters and options. This time, the year also begins with Venus, Mars and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment here, with Mercury returning with a chance to work smarter, get your head in the game, think on your feet and the communication lines open from 2nd January to 21st January. Over the course of the month, all but one will leave, Venus on 18th January, the Sun on 20th January and Mars on 23rd January. Staying on Juno, the queen of commitment, who will leave on 29th March but will retrograde back in again from 12th August to 24th October, helping you set and stick to your resolutions.
