Today's Leo Planetary Horoscope

Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of each year in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on the busy side of life's fence at this time of year. As Venus settles into her first full day, it is to find that Mars is also here and ready to get 2026 off to a busy start. For another seven days, you have planets in a playful and creative part of your chart that are helping to keep things balanced and over the holiday period, ensure life doesn't become all work and no play. However, only for another seven days, making it important to use this time to put guardrails in place.

Planetary Love

With Venus, the planet of love having left your romantic sector yesterday and the Moon having wrapped up its last visit to your relationship sector for the year a few hours later, there is a lot to unpack. While on the relationship front, this has left you more emotionally engaged and aware, here there is no urgency, with the journey continuing. It is on the romantic front, with all planetary activity until later next year ending in seven days, that there is a more urgent need to hold onto the spirit of romance.

Leo Planets

Ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system, Leo radiates warmth, vitality, and a natural charisma. The Sun bestows Leos with a bright personality and a strong sense of self, making them natural leaders who thrive in the spotlight.

During the Sun's transit through Leo, from approximately July 23 to August 22, the sign's intrinsic qualities of confidence, creativity, and passion are amplified. This period is perfect for self-expression, pursuing creative endeavors, and taking bold steps toward personal goals. The Sun in Leo infuses a dynamic energy that encourages Leos to shine brightly and embrace their individuality.

The Sun's influence on Leo significantly impacts their sense of identity and purpose. For instance, when the Sun aligns with Mars, it supercharges Leos' ambition and drive, making it a powerful time to initiate new projects and take decisive action. On the other hand, a Sun-Saturn square may present challenges that test their resilience and require balancing enthusiasm with discipline and responsibility.

The Sun's transits through different signs also notably impact Leo. When the Sun transits through Leo itself, it marks a period of heightened self-awareness and personal empowerment. Leos may feel a stronger desire to showcase their talents and assert their presence. This transit is ideal for embracing leadership roles, engaging in creative projects, and setting ambitious goals.

When the Sun transits more introspective signs like Scorpio or Pisces, Leos need to make adjustments. These periods encourage focusing on inner growth and emotional depth, prompting exploration of the subconscious and development of a deeper self-understanding. Although these transits might slow down their outward momentum, they offer valuable opportunities for personal transformation and spiritual insight.

Other significant planetary influences for Leo include Jupiter and Venus. Jupiter's transit through Leo brings expansion and optimism, enhancing Leos' natural confidence and encouraging the pursuit of new opportunities with enthusiasm. This aspect fosters a love for learning, travel, and cultural experiences. Venus, with its focus on love and beauty, amplifies Leos' charm and artistic talents, making it an excellent time for romance and creative pursuits.
