Leo horoscope today
Today overall
“Knock out your to-do list early and coast.”
This month the Sun lights up your communication zone, so conversations, messages and short trips carry extra meaning. Today the Moon is in Capricorn, in your routine zone, where small, steady habits make a big difference. The Moon and the Sun are at odds today, so what you want and what you feel might pull in different directions. Give yourself time before deciding. Tackle your to-do list early and you'll feel lighter all day.
At the first quarter Moon, obstacles show up so you can get past them. Don't give up on what you started. A friendly link between the Moon and Mercury makes it easy to say exactly what you mean. As a Leo, you light up a room, and today people need that warmth.
Love
“Keep it low-key; save the big confession for another day.”
Venus is at the base of your chart, making home the most romantic place to be. Cozy nights, family love and comfort matter more than big gestures. With Venus retrograde, this isn't the moment to rush into anything new. Old flames and unfinished feelings are more likely to come up.
If you're single: Someone you see every day, at school, practice or work, might be paying more attention than you think.
If you're in a relationship: Help each other with something practical. Being a good team is romantic too.

Get your luck first“Jupiter, the planet of luck, is in your sign. Big doors are open.”
Friends & family
“Check in on a friend you haven't talked to in a while.”
Today, helping a friend with something small, a ride, a homework question, an errand, means more than you know. Mars, the planet of drive, is in your sign, so you're bold and direct right now. Great for leading the group; just watch your tone.
With family, practical help speaks loudest. Offer a hand with something they've been putting off.
School & career
“Steady work wins today.”
Mercury is at the base of your chart, so you think best somewhere comfortable. Set up a study spot you actually like. Heads up: Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday, so finish important sign-ups and send key messages before then. Today ideas click into place, so tackle the hardest subject first. Today, make a to-do list and cross things off. It's very satisfying.
Saturn in your adventure zone rewards long-term studies and big goals. With Saturn retrograde, it's a better time to review than to start something huge. You work best when your effort is seen, so share your progress with someone who'll cheer. With the Moon in an earth sign, practical, hands-on work goes smoothly today.
Money
“Good day to ask for what you're worth.”
Jupiter in your sign makes this a lucky year for opportunities, so say yes to chances to earn and learn. With Venus retrograde, pause before big or emotional purchases: return what you don't love, and let your wish list sit a few days. Today, clean up subscriptions and small charges you forgot about.
As a Leo, you love to treat people. Generosity is beautiful; just set a limit. If a money decision has been hanging over you, the half Moon says it's time to decide.
Mind & mood
“Use this energy on something you've been putting off.”
Fire signs like you recharge through movement and excitement, so a little adventure counts as self-care. If you feel stuck, it's part of the process. Push gently; don't force it. With some tension in the sky today, take a breath before you react.
Your favorite reset is doing something that makes you feel proud, even something small. Today's grounded Moon makes routines feel comforting, so lean on yours.
