Weekly Horoscope: Leo
Leo horoscope (July 23 – August 22) for the current week, Monday to Sunday. It is built from real events in the sky — planetary ingresses, the New Moon and Full Moon, exact aspects — and shows what they mean for your sign specifically.
The week in brief
The Sun in the 4th house: a month of home and family. By tradition, a time for your loved ones, your home and recharging.
This week the Moon passes through your 1st house (self and well-being) → 2nd house (money and possessions) → 3rd house (communication and short trips) → 4th house (home and family) — the themes of the days change in this order. By tradition the easiest days are when it is in your sign and in your 5th, 9th and 11th houses, the heaviest when it is in the 8th and 12th.
The tone of the period is even: 1 harmonious aspects and 0 tense ones. Good and difficult days alternate — follow the day-by-day breakdown.
Wed, November 4, 5:32 AM — Venus ⚹ Jupiter — sextile. By tradition one of the luckiest moments of the period: the benefic planets help — good for meetings, requests, purchases and anything you want to start on a high note. For you this links two houses: the 3rd house (communication and short trips) and the 1st house (self and well-being).
Wed, November 4, 9:25 AM — Sun ☌ Mercury — conjunction. Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury: by tradition thoughts and goals line up — a good time to make a decision and say it out loud. For you both planets are in the 4th house: home and family.
Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your 3rd house: flirting by message, light meetings, acquaintances made on the road and close to home. By tradition words mean more than usual right now — say warm things.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.
Mars in your sign: passion and drive — you make the first move. By tradition it is easy to flare up both in love and in a quarrel: watch your tone.
Aspects of the period: Nov 4 — Venus ⚹ Jupiter (harmonious).
Good days
Tradition singles out no especially good days in this period — the days are even.
Work and career
Mars in your sign: plenty of energy and initiative — by tradition a time to take on difficult tasks and push your agenda. The flip side is impatience and conflict with those who are slow.
Saturn in your 9th house: serious education, exams, legal matters. By tradition a time to study in earnest — it will pay off in your career.
Mercury in the 4th house: conversations with family, paperwork about housing, plans for the home.
Mercury is retrograde right now. By tradition, this is a time to review and redo: old issues and people come back, and new contracts, trips and tech purchases are best planned with room to spare.
Good days
Tradition singles out no especially good days in this period — the days are even.
Money
Jupiter in your sign: by tradition a year when opportunities come to you by themselves — earnings grow through personal initiative. The main risk is overestimating yourself and overspending.
Venus in your 3rd house: small pleasant expenses, gifts for loved ones, successful trading and price negotiations.
Good days
- Tue, November 3 — Moon in the 2nd house
- Wed, November 4 — Moon in the 2nd house; Venus ⚹ Jupiter
Health and energy
Mars in your sign: lots of energy, but by tradition a higher risk of injuries from haste, cuts, burns, headaches and fever. Sport is the best outlet.
Saturn in your 9th house: by tradition look after your liver and hips; travel without unnecessary risk.
When the Moon is in the 8th or 12th house from your sign, by tradition it drains your strength — rest on those days; in the 1st house and in the 5th and 9th (trines to your sign) you have the most energy.
Good days
- Mon, November 2 — Moon in the 1st house
- Wed, November 4 — Venus ⚹ Jupiter
Difficult days
- Thu, November 5
- Fri, November 6
This is astrological advice about well-being, not medical advice: if you feel unwell, see a doctor.

How this horoscope is put together
The weekly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from Monday to Sunday: planets entering new signs, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and exact aspects between planets. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris, and the time of each event is known to the minute.
Each event is translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Leo is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. That is why the same Full Moon falls in one house for Leo and in another for the neighbouring sign, and their interpretations differ.
The lucky and difficult days are not chosen at random. For each day, points are scored in four areas — love, work, money and energy: which house the Moon is in, where Venus and Jupiter are (they help the area of their house) and Mars and Saturn (they hinder, except in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses), which planets are retrograde, which aspects are exact that day, and whether a New Moon, Full Moon or eclipse falls on it. Next to each lucky day you can see why it is lucky.
Ruler of Leo
The ruler of the sign is the Sun. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Leo than for other signs: favourable aspects to the ruler strengthen the whole period, and tense ones make it harder.
