For the week of: Aug 09, 2026 - Aug 15, 2026 The energy is slowing down for you one moment this week, Leo, only to pick up the next and careen off into the future. Things will first take a turn for the gentle on the 11th when Mars moves out of your 11th House of Global Communities and dives into Cancer and your dreamy 12th House of the Subconscious for the next month and a half. There is something of a confounding mix-up about Mars hanging out in this sector of your chart; Mars is all about the go-go-go, but when planets move through this dreamy territory, they want to take their sweet time doing just about anything. The 12th House is also the realm of letting go, so having the planet of action here can seem like something of a dichotomy. Instead of feeling like you’re spinning your wheels, do your best to lean into this transit by increasing the amount of time you spend in creative pursuits. This is an extremely inspirational cycle, so if you’ve got time on your hands, why not do a bit of crafting or art? If you’ve got any musical skills this would be the perfect time to let them shine, or perhaps indulge in a bit of romantic poetry, the sappier the better. Things reach a very personal culmination later the very next day as the potent Leo New Moon lights up the heavens on the 12th, kicking off a huge period of manifestation when you have cosmic permission to do as you please. While this is already a very important time for you, it is majorly amplified because this lunation also just so happens to be a game-changing Solar Eclipse, increasing its power many times over, and marks the first eclipse in Leo in nearly a decade, and the first Total Solar Eclipse we have experienced in general since 2024, so this is nothing to snooze at! This marks a very exciting turning point when you can begin all sorts of new chapters, making it even more important for you to carefully consider how you want to use this energy to your advantage, though it would behoove you to remember that eclipses often have their own plotlines already, so you may just want to sit back and see what the cosmos has in store for you.

Meanwhile, messenger Mercury is also spinning through your sign, boosting you up and giving you the gift of a silver tongue. This is already a perfectly pleasant and social time for you, but thanks to the fact that on the 15th, the cosmic communicator will align at the exact same degree as boundless Jupiter, it looks as though you’ll be feeling yourself in all the right ways. With this sort of energy permeating the skies, you can make major leaps and bounds right now; it’s your energy and your opportunity, you just have to decide what you want to do with it. What do your dreams look like? Go ahead and make a wish; the stars are willing to grant you one. Want To Uncover The Month Ahead?
