Horoscope Leo

23 July - 23 August

From 28 December to 4 January 2026

Love

Dear Leo friends, magnificent and proud, this week challenges you to a more introspective version of yourselves, which might not always excite you. The Mercury-Saturn square on 30 December blocks your natural expressiveness: words don’t come out with your usual confidence, compliments sound forced, or you fear not shining enough during the year-end conversations. Let go of the need to always be the centre of attention, because Mercury’s entry into Capricorn on 1 January shifts the energy towards more reserved and profound communications: instead of public declarations of love during the midnight toast, you’ll find greater authenticity in private and intimate conversations. The Mercury-Neptune square on the same day suggests caution: romantic promises made under the influence of heightened festive emotions could prove unrealistic in daylight. The Full Moon in Cancer on 3 January illuminates your unconscious: deep emotions surface, possibly linked to the past or your family of origin. During the days between New Year and Epiphany on January 6th, create moments of genuine intimacy where you can show your vulnerabilities: authentic love doesn’t always require the mask of success at all costs.

Work

A period of strategic reflection rather than visible action: Mercury in Capricorn promotes behind-the-scenes planning, so take the opportunity to prepare the ground for future successes, which are just around the corner.
