About the Leo horoscope

From Leo's point of view, Virgo is the 2nd house of earnings, Scorpio the 4th house of home, Sagittarius the 5th house of romance and fun, Aquarius the 7th house of partners and Taurus the 10th house of career and reputation. When the Moon reaches Sagittarius, the Leo day tends to favor play and self-expression. In Aquarius the focus moves to the people closest to you.

The Sun rules Leo, and the Sun never goes retrograde. It moves steadily through one sign a month, so every month it lights up a different solar house for you: your 10th house of career while it crosses Taurus in spring, your 1st house during your own season from around July 23 to August 22. Exact aspects to the Sun often feel personal for Leo.

As a fixed fire sign, Leo also tends to register slow planets in Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius, which form squares and oppositions to your Sun and usually stay for months.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why is the Sun the key planet for Leo?

The Sun rules Leo, so its aspects speak to your confidence, visibility and sense of purpose. Because it never stations, Leo's ruler gives a steady monthly rhythm instead of retrograde periods.

When does the Leo horoscope focus on career?

Mostly when the Moon or another planet is in Taurus, your 10th solar house. The Sun passes through Taurus from around April 20 to May 20, which is often read as a season of ambition for Leo.

What does the Moon in Aquarius mean for Leo?

Aquarius sits opposite Leo and forms your 7th solar house. During those days the reading turns to partners, close friendships and how much you give and take with them.

Is the Leo horoscope today also a love horoscope?

Love comes into it when the Moon visits Sagittarius, your 5th house, or Aquarius, your 7th, or when Venus is in an exact aspect. On other days the reading may lean toward work, money or rest.
