Leo Horoscope Today — August 29, 2026

FireJul 23 — Aug 22Ruling Planet: Sun

You’re used to being the one who shines, but today you might feel like you’re standing in the shadows watching someone else take the spotlight. The Full Moon in Pisces is in your eighth house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation, and it’s squaring Lilith in Sagittarius in your seventh house of partnerships. This is a deeply emotional and confrontational energy, especially in your closest relationships. You might discover something that’s been hidden—a secret, a resentment, a truth you weren’t ready to see. The Moon is also trining Mars in Cancer in your twelfth house of solitude and the subconscious, which means you’re processing a lot beneath the surface. You might not even know what you’re feeling until you’re alone. The quincunx between Venus in Libra and the Moon suggests that you’re trying to keep things light and pleasant, but the Full Moon is demanding depth. You can’t smile your way through this one, Leo.

The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Virgo, activating your second house of money, self-worth, and values. This is a practical, detail-oriented energy, but it’s being squared by Uranus in Gemini in your eleventh house of friendships and community. You might have a sudden disagreement with a friend about money, or you might realize that your values are shifting. The sextile between Mars and the Sun-Mercury conjunction suggests that a creative project could be a source of income, but the square between Mercury and Uranus warns against making promises you can’t keep. Be honest about your capacity, even if it means disappointing someone.

The opposition between Venus in Libra and Saturn retrograde in Aries is hitting your fifth and eleventh houses, creating a tension between your desire for fun and your responsibilities to your social circle. You might feel like you have to choose between your own happiness and the expectations of others. The trine between Jupiter in Leo and Saturn retrograde is a powerful aspect for personal growth. You’re being asked to take yourself seriously, but not so seriously that you forget how to play. The square between Mars and Neptune retrograde in Aries is a warning about escapism. Don’t numb out with food, alcohol, or scrolling. Face what’s coming up.
