Leo in December 2026
Your big year turns inward, Leo. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 8 opens a bright creative chapter in your 5th. Saturn turns direct in your 9th on December 10, making a belief or a big plan real again. Then on December 13 Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo itself, so the expansion you have enjoyed since June asks to be grown inward over winter, deepening before its final push in spring. The solstice on December 21 lights your 6th house of work, and the Full Moon in Cancer on December 23 invites rest. Create quietly.
Leo in December, week by week
Week of November 30 – December 6, 2026
Home advances, Leo. Venus re-enters your 4th house of home and family on December 4 moving forward, so the domestic plans that stalled through October and November can finally progress. Mercury enters your 5th house on the 6th, filling your mind with creative ideas. Move the house plan along. Then let yourself play with something new.
Week of December 7 – 13, 2026
Create, then go inward, Leo. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 8 opens a bright fresh chapter in your 5th house of romance and creativity. Saturn turns direct in your 9th on the 10th, making a belief or a big plan real again. Then on the 13th Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo itself, so the expansion you have enjoyed since June asks to deepen inward over winter. Start it now. Then grow it quietly.
Week of December 14 – 20, 2026
Grow inward, Leo. Jupiter is newly retrograde in Leo itself, so the big expansive year you have had since June turns quiet and deepens rather than stops. This is not a loss, it is a winter of development before the spring push. Saturn is newly direct in your 9th house, making a belief real. Work on the craft privately. The lights come back up in April.
Week of December 21 – 27, 2026
Quiet close to a big year, Leo. The solstice on December 21 lights your 6th house of work and health, so the year ends with practical attention rather than fanfare. The Full Moon in Cancer on the 23rd lands in your 12th house, asking for rest and one honest release at the holidays. Mercury enters your 6th on the 26th. Let something go. Then plan the routine that carries you forward.
Week of December 28, 2026 – January 3, 2027
Build the routine, Leo. Capricorn season and Mercury fill your 6th house of work and health, so the year turns with a practical, unglamorous focus that will serve you well. Jupiter is retrograde in your own sign, deepening rather than expanding, so this is a winter of craft. Set the daily structure now. The spotlight returns in spring.
