Leo Horoscope Today — May 8, 2025

FireJul 23 — Aug 22Ruling Planet: Sun

You are a bonfire today, Leo, and everyone wants to get close to your warmth—but you’re also at risk of burning yourself out. Mars, your ruling planet, is in your sign, squaring the Sun in your house of spirituality and hidden matters. This is a volatile combination that can manifest as internal restlessness, a short fuse, or a sudden urge to confront something you’ve been avoiding. You might feel like you’re fighting with yourself, caught between the desire to be seen and the need to protect your private world. The good news? Mars is also trining Venus and Neptune, which gives your creative and romantic impulses a soft, almost magical quality. You’re not just angry—you’re passionate. You’re not just restless—you’re hungry for something meaningful. The Moon in Libra is trining Pluto and Uranus, creating a powerful undercurrent of transformation in your career and public life. You might receive unexpected recognition, or you might suddenly realize that the path you’ve been on is no longer serving you. The First Quarter Moon is asking you to take action, but the action it’s asking for is a declaration of intent. What do you actually want? Not what you think you should want, or what other people expect you to want—what do you, in your heart of hearts, truly desire? Saturn and the North Node are conjunct in your career sector, which is a serious and sobering influence. This is not a time for shortcuts or half-measures. If you want to build something that lasts, you have to be willing to do the slow, unglamorous work. Pluto retrograde in your house of creativity and romance is also asking you to release a story you’ve been telling yourself about your own worth. You are not too much. You are not too loud. You are exactly the right amount of everything.
