Horoscope Today for Leo (10/23/2026)

This morning carries a certain pull inward, a quiet undertow you can feel before the day even names itself. Your private starting line: the Waxing Gibbous Moon in Pisces softens the edges of everything. With the Sun in Scorpio sitting right alongside Venus, also in Scorpio and moving retrograde, you're being asked to revisit what you value and who you've been. Mercury square Jupiter is separating, so yesterday's big talk settles into something more honest. Mars and Jupiter both blaze through your sign, giving you real presence when you choose to use it. The Sun square Pluto is applying, which means an intensity gathers under the surface, nudging you toward a truth you've been circling. Let it rise slowly. You don't have to resolve everything by sundown.

Trust the slow burn, Leo.

Love

Love: Venus retrograde in Scorpio asks you to look backward with tenderness, not regret. With the Sun conjunct Venus, feelings run deep and close to the chest, and the Pisces Moon makes you unusually receptive to what goes unsaid. Someone's old pattern may resurface. Meet it with patience rather than demands, and the connection softens in ways words can't quite manage.

Work & Money

Work & Money: Mercury square Jupiter is separating now, so an overblown plan or promise comes back down to a workable size. Good. With Mars and Jupiter both in Leo, your confidence is genuine, yet the Sun square Pluto applying hints at power dynamics worth noticing quietly. Money matters benefit from review rather than bold moves, especially with Venus retrograde coloring what you think you need.

Energy

Energy: The Pisces Moon pulls your pace toward dreaminess, and that's fine. You have Mars in Leo lending you fire when you need it, but it burns best in short, deliberate bursts today. The Sun square Pluto applying stirs something intense underneath, so honor your rhythm. Rest when the tide goes out, move when it returns.

Ruling planet
The Sun
Symbol
The Lion

Leo is ruled by the Sun and behaves accordingly: warm, central, and generous with light. This sign performs even in private and means it sincerely; the warmth is not an act. Leos are fixed fire, which makes them loyal, consistent, and slow to change course once their pride is invested. The genuine article is big-hearted and protective. The failure mode is needing the room’s attention to feel real.

Tomorrow for Leo

Tomorrow the Moon shifts into Aries and meets Saturn, so your mood sharpens around what feels solid and real. With Mercury now joining the retrograde crowd in Scorpio, choose your words with care.
