Leo Weekly Horoscope

You can’t help but seem to shine this week, Leo, but make sure you are saving some of that shine for yourself. Yes, you are very good at sparkling amidst the company, but that can also be a little draining sometimes, and you should hold on to your spark this week as much as you can. The 4th can be a rather exciting day because of a special sextile between Jupiter and Venus, which is one of the most pleasant angles there is in astrology. Jupiter is currently in a roughly yearlong tour of your sign and your 1st House of Action and Self-Expression, attracting exciting opportunities your way, but Venus is currently retrograde in your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications.

Normally this would be a great time to get out and socialize and meet new people and see what exciting things you can discover along the way, but because Venus is retrograde, it seems highly likely that you will actually find more pleasure in returning to places you already know, or spending time with people who already matter to you.

This can be quite a romantic energy, and you may be inclined to follow your heart wherever it leads, but fresh connections are not quite set up for success while Venus is retrograde, so couples can have a good time enjoying one another’s company, while singles can mingle, but avoid trying to turn it into anything serious until Venus turns direct on November 13th, as you may come to realize that the person you thought was all that is not nearly even half of that. Avoid seeing the world through rose-colored glasses! Likewise, avoid the urge to splurge at this time, as you could be inspired to hit the town for a day of shopping and indulging yourself, but the reality is you probably won’t be satisfied with your haul when all is said and done.

Also on the 4th, the Sun and Mercury will conjoin in your 4th House of Home and Family, which could bring up some family conversations or matters to parse through with a relative or roommate. It could also be a good day to host a few friends for a fun evening at your place; the only thing to remember is that Mercury is retrograde so you’ll probably be dealing with topics that have already been on the table, as opposed to initiating new projects. Likewise, instead of beginning any new renovation or redecorating projects, simply collect ideas that you can sit with for a bit and consider, while holding off on implementing them until Mercury turns direct on November 13th, the same day as Venus.

On the 5th, Mars enters its pre-shadow phase that will lead up to a retrograde cycle beginning next January, so while that change is still a couple months away, you may notice the energy seems to slow down around you a bit more; don’t be shocked if 2026 seems to get slower and slower the closer we get to the end!
