Leo Weekly Horoscope | September 28th – October 4th, 2026
You’re all set to sign on the line that is dotted until Venus turns retrograde on October 3rd. This is when certain information comes to light that makes it impossible for you to proceed. Maybe you discover you were being deliberately played, facts were edited to make a compelling case, or the nature of what’s divulged is so outlandish that it’s unconscionable. It’s awkward to be sure, but you’re not doing anyone any favors by saying things are OK when they’re not. Be brave and do what’s right by giving the thumbs down. These are the moments that separate the champs from the chumps.

It looks like you’re dealing with a high-stakes situation that’s teetering on the brink. This could pertain to a relationship, money, or a business association. It’s clear that somebody didn’t disclose the full truth, but what remains to be seen is the reason why you were kept out of the loop. You might have been handed a heavily edited version of the story in order to protect you. In any case, you’ll be getting to the bottom of things now that Mercury is in stealthy Scorpio. Over the next couple of weeks, you will come into possession of certain facts that will allow you to turn the tables in your favor.

It’s not your intention to be controversial, although you’ll happily take up that banner against anyone you regard as obstinate and retrograde. We live in a time when the future itself is divisive. There are those who want life to return to the way it was and others who want life to progress forward without checks or balances. Perhaps what makes you most controversial is your willingness to question both sides and insistence that each be heard. The Sun/Uranus trine on September 28th shows that if anyone can find common ground for polar opposites to work out their differences and come to an understanding, it’s you.

Beware girlfriends in need. The same goes for sisters, neighbors, and in-laws for as long as Venus is retrograding through Scorpio and Libra. You have some potentially treacherous planetary aspects over the next few weeks and you don’t want to take the fall for somebody else’s folly. Maybe this person wants you to tell her husband that she was at your house (when she wasn’t), or she might come to you for a loan on top of the one you already gave her. Just say no. This way you will avoid any fiascos where your good intentions might pave the way to a hellish situation.

You believe in the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. After all, it was fellow Aries Thomas Jefferson who penned those words in the first place. Yet “inalienable” doesn’t come with a lifetime guarantee, as the Mars/Pluto opposition on October 3rd demonstrates. Individual freedoms can be taken away unless exercised regularly. Whether it’s a corporate policy that’s become repressive, a culture of intolerance that continues unchecked, or even a neighborhood group chat that targets those they’ve decided aren’t welcome, you will find yourself ready to stand up for the underdog as only someone born under the zodiac sign of the hero can.

Venus turns retrograde on October 3rd. Named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus will be acting contrary to type as long as she is traveling backwards in the zodiac signs of Scorpio and Libra. Needless to say, this isn’t the time to change your look, switch love partners, or purchase any shiny new objects because what catches your fancy one day will only leave you scratching your head in bewilderment a day later. But Venus retrograde brings more than just an unforeseen bout of questionable taste. It can also mean trouble. The planet of attraction in Astrology, Venus retrograde can turn you into a target of jealousy, covetousness, and even bullying. For some inexplicable reason, people will just have it out for you. That’s why it’s so important to be disarming, courteous, and politic, even when it’s others who are at fault. It may feel unfair and like you’re the one who has to bear the burden, but remember the famous Venus maxim: “You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.” Venus will be retrograde from October 4th to November 13th.

Don’t let wishful thinking lead you to make a serious misstep on September 25th. Once you realize that your hopes are based on avoiding an uncomfortable situation rather than on pursuing a genuine vision of what you would like to see happen, then you will see for yourself what your next step should be. Compromise is not the answer, but there’s nothing saying that you have to be confrontational either. Speaking the truth right now won’t be pleasant, but people need to know what you truly feel about a pressing situation and, given a few days, they’ll even come around to your way of thinking.

Mars moves into that part of your solar chart that pertains to relationships on September 27th. Mars is Astrology’s cage rattler, so you can expect flare-ups with your spouse as well as with a business partner or any client you work closely with. It’s important to know how to fight in a relationship. It’s not about fighting to win, but fighting to understand each other in ways that don’t come naturally. Be forewarned that the next 7½ weeks won’t be easy, but the struggle to connect, along with the respect and camaraderie that results from it, shows that Mars is all about forging ties that bind.

Home appears to be a very demanding place these days. Like the infernal Hydra of Greek mythology, it feels like whenever you complete one chore, then two more spring forward to take its place. You have the Full Moon in Aries to blame for these Herculean labors, but then again it could be argued that your home life is competing with your career (your other “home”) for your attention and this may be the only means it has of getting you to focus on long-neglected matters. In any case the end result will be you getting your house in order, both literally and metaphorically.

You were born under the zodiac sign of the Archer. You like to shoot an arrow in the air and then gallop off in search of it. This speaks to your love of adventure and your delight in meandering. Mars in Leo from September 27th to November 25th shows that it’s time to follow through on all those life changes you’ve talked about recently. Mars is a doer, not a dreamer, and Leo’s fixity gives Mars an overriding sense of purpose, so you really must push yourself to go the distance. Make yourself finish what you start now and you’ll like where you wind up.

Mars enters your solar midheaven on September 27th. This pumps up the volume on your ambition and will surely bring spectacular breakthroughs in your career. It will also bring overdue praise and recognition as well as money in your pocket. It’s been a long time since you felt like you were on top of things and Mars here will bolster your confidence for the next 7½ weeks. Mars is a great motivator, so get out and do! But be careful about flaunting victories in other people’s faces. You don’t want them to retaliate by looking for ways to take you down a peg or two.

Libra seeks harmony and order in a world that is often out of kilter. This isn’t always easy to do, which is why it’s important that you be more sensitive toward others’ feelings and not push a relationship too far when the Sun opposes Neptune on September 25th and then Saturn on October 4th. Every relationship depends on some give and take between partners and you might want to ask yourself if you’ve been more of a giver or taker recently. It’s not an easy question to answer, but it’s one that you will need to think about now because it’s time to redress the balance.
