Leo Horoscope August 2026
Your ruler, the Sun, re-enters Leo, its own sign and your 1st house, on 17 August, and confidence, vitality and a clearer sense of direction tend to return with it. Before that, it spends the first half of the month in your 12th, where exalted Jupiter is also staying, and a total solar eclipse marks 12 August there. The 12th governs rest, expenses, sleep and letting go, so the eclipse days suit retreat, prayer or simply catching up on rest.
Mars brings practical help when it enters Gemini, your 11th house, on 2 August, a house where it does well by classical reckoning, linked with gains through effort, income and helpful friends. Mercury enters your 12th on 5 August, then crosses into your 1st on 22 August. Venus enters Virgo, your 2nd, on 1 August; it is at its weakest by sign there, but the 2nd still counts as a supportive house for it. Saturn stays retrograde in your 8th all month, the Ashtama Shani period, so caution with debts and risky ventures still applies. The month closes with a partial lunar eclipse in Aquarius, your 7th, on 28 August, the house Rahu already occupies.
