Leo Weekly Horoscope
For the week of: Aug 17, 2026 - Aug 23, 2026
Your attention can be pulled all over the place this week, Leo, so don’t be surprised if it feels like you’re dealing with several different themes at once, especially at the start of the week. Action planet Mars is currently moving through Cancer and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious, which can make it rather difficult to summon your usual energy reserves and manifest direction action, and on the 17th he will square off mystical Neptune in Aries and your 9th House of Expansion, making it difficult to know how much is too much. Mars is not happy in the 12th House, and you may not have a proper gauge of your own energy levels during this time, but Neptune is beckoning you to come explore new horizons, which would normally be fun, but this square could lead you to get lost along the way. Beware floating off to new places like a balloon, because you may have trouble finding your way back home.
Fortunately, Monday isn’t all conflict and mystery, as loving Venus in your 3rd House of Local Community will make a sextile to abundant Jupiter in your own sign and 1st House of Action, making you the most popular person in the vicinity. Even if it is a Monday, this would be a great night to hit the town or link up with friends or a romantic partner for an evening of whatever you like, because you are sure to find something very enjoyable along the way.
The 19th is punctuated with a powerful Half Moon in Scorpio, reminding each and every one of us of the need for balance and peace both within ourselves and on a global scale. This lunar phase will illuminate your 4th House of Home and Family, so it’s likely you’ll find yourself in something of a nesting mood. This is a good time for making sure your space reflects you and that you are happy in your abode, but it can also be a good moment to touch base with family, real or chosen. You may even decide to host a little shindig at Chez Leo.
The 22nd is an important day, as the mighty Sun will blast out of your sign after a four-week tour and jump into Virgo and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth. This transit is like a calling card from the cosmos to get your financial ducks in a row and start prepping for new opportunities to come your way; whether you’re aiming for a pay raise or an entirely new job, this cycle is the time to make it happen. It’s also a good time for improving your general self-esteem, so if things have been feeling a little downtrodden then maybe it’s time to do something to change your outlook and the way you view yourself. You can also find plenty of lovely things to treat yourself to during this cycle, so there is nothing wrong with a little retail therapy provided you don’t break the bank in the process!
