Leo Monthly Horoscope

Galvanize your goals! The Sun enters Taurus on April 19

Take charge again, Leo. On April 19, the Sun blazes into Taurus and your tenth house of career and achievement, launching a four-week cycle that’s all about leveling up. Whether you’re job hunting, building your brand or chasing a milestone, this solar cycle sharpens your focus and revs up your drive.

Are you on track with your 2025 mission? Like most people, the wild uncertainty of the moment may have found you recalibrating plans a few times over. We know, Leo, it’s hard to make plans with the world in flux. But if you don’t, you’ll feel even MORE adrift. Prioritize one main goal and focus on it, with the awareness that you may have to pivot for changes in your industry or workplace.

Amidst the chaos, a golden opportunity awaits. With calm and confidence in short supply, this period could be prime time to establish yourself as a strong, capable leader. With the Sun in your status-driven tenth house, recognition could come faster than expected—along with a new title or a role that puts you in the spotlight.

Carefully consider if the offer, no matter how flattering, aligns with your true vision. If you’re going to build a legacy, make sure it’s one you’re proud to put your name on. Still figuring out your direction? Don’t go it alone. A coach, mentor or trusted colleague could help you zero in on your purpose and make the right moves. 

Partnership power struggles? Mars and Pluto face off April 26 

First, the good news: On April 18, energy planet Mars returns to Leo, rebooting your motivation and spark. Overall, the vibe becomes much more wild than mild! Since January 6, the restless red planet has been in Cancer and your sleepy, subconscious twelfth house, making you feel both wired and tired. To make matters worse, Mars was retrograde until February 23. This year may have gotten off to a much slower start than you expected, with some bumps along the way. A few frenemies may have revealed their true colors.

Now, Mars is in your sign until June 17, which should help make up for lost time. You’re confident and charismatic—and finally, the world is taking notice! But ease in gradually, Leo, because this Mars transit will get off to a combative start. On April 26, Mars will oppose shadowy Pluto, which is in your partnership zone. You could find yourself unexpectedly trading low blows and fighting with someone close to you. Something unsavory could come to light in a business or personal alliance.

Since Pluto rules what’s hidden and Mars is uber-direct, you could use this tricky faceoff to your advantage. Under this transit, you could glean deeper insight into other people's motives, including your own. 

The key will be keeping your temper and emotions in check since these two combustible cosmic players could get into a volcanic showdown. Pluto rules the unconscious (trigger warning from the skies!) and can cause us to project our feelings onto other people. Watch your tendency to “fix” people or to offer unsolicited advice. If you try to tell someone how THEY feel instead of simply speaking about yourself, it may cause them to erupt in anger. You don't have to make it all better. You just have to listen!
