Your words find a fresh start, Leo. The New Moon in Libra on October 10 opens your 3rd house of communication, ideas and local life, a good week to begin a conversation or a piece of writing. Venus is retrograde in your 4th house of home and family, so domestic threads stay tangled and moves can stall. Start the conversation. Leave the house decisions for later.
A reflective turn as the month ends, Leo. Venus stations retrograde in your 4th house of home and family on October 3, beginning six weeks to reconsider your space, your roots and your sense of belonging. It is not the week for a big move, only for reflection. Sit with how home really feels. Then decide slowly.
A vivid week, Leo. Libra season begins at the equinox on September 22 and lights your 3rd house of communication, calling you to balance how you speak and listen.

Then let a truth land.

The Full Moon in Taurus on October 26 brings your career in the 10th to a visible head. Pluto turns direct in your 7th on October 15. Tend the foundation.

Jupiter enters Leo on June 30 and floods your 1st house with confidence, presence and luck through mid-2027 - the single most expansive transit you get. The August 12 solar eclipse in your sign is a fated, dramatic reset of how you show up. Saturn and Neptune in your 9th house refine what you believe while Pluto in your 7th keeps transforming your closest partnerships. Rest through the first half of the year. Then step fully into the light.
2027 is your crowning year. Jupiter stays in Leo until July 26, finishing the most expansive run you get in twelve years, then moves into your 2nd house of money to turn that confidence into worth.

Saturn and Neptune spend a second year refining your beliefs in the 9th. Step fully forward early in the year. This eclipse is yours.
