Happy Leo season! The sun’s entrance into the fixed fire sign always brings a dramatic peak to the summer. Leo is ruled by the sun, and can’t help but ask for attention. I can tell you that this year’s Leo time is especially wild and revealing. The sun enters Leo on the 22nd and immediately forms an aspect with all the outer planets—Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto—putting a giant spotlight on the collective upheaval. 

The new moon in Leo on the 24th initiates a new cycle that contains all this week’s transformational energy. What’s a tiny seed now will be massive in six months time. Mark your calendars for the full moon in Leo on February 1, 2026. Meanwhile, Mercury is still retrograde so no matter how final things seem, all decisions will be revisited later this summer.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

It’s a make or break week for your routines. The schedules you committed to and routes you’ve been taking since early summer are feeling overwhelming.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

You’re struggling with finding value in the things that you’re doing this week. You can’t call out of work, yet you’re tired of missing out just to squeak by. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is a profound reset for your home and family life. Your partner might get a job offer out of town, or your mother might need to move in with you for long term care. It’s not about what you decide but about how you make room for this inevitable change.

This week’s mantra: “Foundation.”

Cheeky illustration of identical twins with long dark hair and a statement earrings back-to-back, smirking at each other.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

This week’s new moon in Leo is here to shake up your communications. Mercury retrograde already has you missing emails and having constant misconnections. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is an opportunity to adjust your content diet and shift communications with people in your actual life for the better. It’s time to take the plans out of the group chat and into reality.

This week’s mantra: “Initiate.”

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Your birthday season comes to an end, and with it so does an ongoing conflict with your sibling. You’ve held this grudge for a while, but now it’s time to let it go. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is a profound reset for your money. You’ve been struggling to get a handle on your resources since the beginning of the year, and this new moon provides a much needed fresh start. It’s a great week to get on top of budgeting or negotiate higher pay on a contract.

This week's mantra: “Values.”

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Happy solar return, Leo! It’s finally your season, and everyone is living for the drama right alongside you. The new moon on the 24th is in your sign, and this is a chance to take a huge risk with your style. Mercury is retrograde so you might end up returning the clothes or dying your hair back. But seize the opportunity to do something extreme and have a little fun with it.

This week’s mantra: “Shock.”

Virgo (August 23 - September 23)

You’re feeling the tension between who you really are and the public image you project to the world. Your work persona vs. your home persona. Your boss personality vs. your chill vibes with friends. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is an opportunity to take a step back and rest. Maybe everything isn’t about work. Maybe it’s worth spending more time out of the office.

This week’s mantra: “Chill.”

You’re off on an adventure this week, but can’t get out of your head. You’re feeling triggered by all the people who have done you wrong, but the only option is to let it go. The new moon in Leo on the 24th offers a hard reset for friendship and community. It’s time to build connections that support you and challenge you to grow rather than hold you back.

This Week's Mantra: "Solid."

Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)

A clash between your business partner and a client—or your spouse and the other members of your HOA—brings tension to your relationships early in the week. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is all about claiming your own power and taking the lead. Your priorities are changing and you can no longer support something that isn’t supporting you back. This is also a great week to launch a job search, seek a promotion or put yourself out there for a project.

This week’s mantra: “Vision.”

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

While finishing up a project at work this week, you enter a lowkey existential crisis. After putting in so much effort behind the scenes, you’re disconnected from who you are outside of this assignment. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is for rekindling your sense of adventure. Try out a new-to-you cuisine, join a book club, or sign up for a meditation class. Don’t just do the same old thing! Find your way back through experimentation.

This week’s mantra: “Expand.”

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

The week begins with scheduling difficulties around a past or future vacation. Your coworker who was supposed to handle some tasks while you were away dropped the ball and now you’re scrambling. The new moon in Leo on the 24th is a fresh start for collaborations and shared resources. Mark your calendar for February 1, 2026 when you’ll see a joint investment flourish. Time to invest in something that you care about.

This week’s mantra: “Grow”

Cheeky image of a Black woman with blue hair on a light blue background. She's holding blue water in her palms, which is bubbling up and taking shape as her hair.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

The week begins with you making a difficult financial decision or exerting a lot of energy to manage a debt. On the other side of this stress, you’ll have more resources for pleasure. The new moon in Leo on the 24th brings renewal to your closest relationships. There are people who can’t handle your power. It’s OK to walk away from unbalanced connections and choose the ones that lift you up.

This week’s mantra: “Bask.”

Cheeky illustration of a gender-fluid white person with short-cropped orange hair. They're wearing a light blue halter top as two bright pink koi fish circle their head.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Oh sweet Pisces. This week begins with a clash between your family and romantic life. Whether your roommate and your partner aren’t getting along, or you’re struggling to find time for date night after having a baby, you feel stuck. Your sensitive self is also caught up in everyone else’s opinions. The new moon in Leo on the 24th provides a hard reset for your daily routines. It’s time to adjust your work flow, get back to the gym, and reorganize how you do errands.

This week’s mantra: “Move.”
