Your 2026 horoscopes: Leo

Minimalist black and white zodiac chart with astrological symbols and lines
2026 is your year to hype yourself up

Leo, this year promises plot twists galore — and more growth than you’ve experienced in over a decade. Buckle up.

What 2026 has in store for your health and body

You win some of the best astrology you could wish for in 2026. The first six months of the year are your chance to prepare for this gift. As Jupiter (the planet of abundance) wraps up its time in Cancer, focus on the ways you take care of yourself behind the scenes.

When Jupiter enters Leo in June, it brings big blessings to your self-confidence and personal growth. This transit comes around only once every 12 years, so 2026 is definitely no time to play it small. Once the releasing South Node enters Leo in July, part of your mission will be letting go of any unhelpful habits.

Easy? Probably not. But this process will help you clear away what’s draining your energy and realign you with what fills your cup.

Just note that the Leo eclipse in August will likely test your body or spirit in some way, so don’t push it. You have permission to under-schedule yourself as much as possible. Whatever you do, take this opportunity to make room for the many, many blessings heading your way.

What 2026 has in store for your family and home

One of your keywords for 2026 is “release.” This is your year to identify any family patterns that once served a purpose but are now ready to be composted. That process reaches a turning point in May, when the Full Moon in Scorpio pushes raw emotions to the surface and encourages you to review what’s no longer working close to home.

Think of this moment as a preview of what’s to come in October, when Venus (the planet of love) stations retrograde in Scorpio. Venus retrogrades bring up the tough stuff, revealing where we feel tired, discouraged, or overburdened — but they also help you reclaim the buried treasure you find as you dig into the past.

That might include old stories you cherish or new roles you hope to take on. In late October, when Venus joins the Sun in a powerful cazimi, it offers you some much-needed clarity and insight. The result? Finishing off the year with a deeper connection to your roots.

What 2026 has in store for your love and relationships

2026 kickstarts a new story in your closest relationships. There will be shake-ups — but also a surge of fresh energy. The first moment to note is the Aquarius eclipse in February, which brings a wave of change to all your one-on-one bonds. Because it’s happening near the North Node, which is all about increase, this eclipse is likely to bring more people into your life.

But eclipses are generally buzzy and unpredictable, so don’t rush to make any decisions you can’t take back, even if you get a sudden, intense craving for connection. This volatility might take some getting used to, but you’ll have a couple of years to do that — once the North Node officially enters Aquarius in July, it will stay there for about 18 months.

Whether you get an urge to take things to the next level with a romantic partner or to strengthen your friendship with a bestie, get ready for your commitments to take off. Just make sure you don’t wear yourself out so you can tend to your own needs too.

What 2026 has in store for your money and success

You’ve had some recent breakthroughs in your public-facing life — thanks to Uranus (the planet of disruption), which has spent the past eight-ish years in Taurus. And 2026 is your chance to run with them. For the first few months of the year, focus on prioritizing the leadership roles and career choices that genuinely excite you.

By the time Uranus re-enters Gemini in April, you’ll be reminded that making a mark on the world requires taking big risks and leaps of faith, even if it means shaking up the status quo.

Meanwhile, the Virgo eclipse in March is all about your money. Whether you’ve been dealing with unplanned expenses or showcasing your talents for a larger audience, this eclipse continues a series of lessons about your skills and resources. Pay attention to any spending habits or budgeting strategies that aren’t working for you.

Then Chiron (the minor planet associated with medicine and wisdom) enters Taurus in June, spotlighting the ways you mentor others and heal your own relationship with success. If you’ve been comparing yourself with your peers, Chiron reminds you that this is always a losing game. Make an effort to learn what other people are really going through behind the scenes — and don’t shy away from opportunities to teach.

The knowledge you’ve gained is worth sharing.
