The Leo weekly horoscope for Nov. 9 to Nov. 15, 2026 opens with a new moon in Scorpio and closes with two planets turning direct in the same seven days, a rare double reset that lands squarely in Leo’s home and communication zones. Mars and Jupiter are both sitting in Leo’s first house this week, a combination that sharpens identity and first impressions even while the rest of the sky asks Leo to slow down at home and watch what gets said out loud.
Mercury stations direct in Scorpio and Venus stations direct in Libra, both on Nov. 13, according to the sky data for this period. That timing matters for Leo because Mercury has been moving through the fourth house of home and family, and Venus has been retrograde in the third house of communication and short trips. The week asks for patience early and rewards it by Friday.
The Week At A Glance
- Nov. 9, 2:02 a.m. ET: New Moon in Scorpio, activating Leo’s fourth house of home, family and roots.
- Nov. 13, 10:55 a.m. ET: Mercury stations direct in Scorpio, easing miscommunication around family matters.
- Nov. 13, 7:21 p.m. ET: Venus stations direct in Libra, releasing tension in Leo’s communication and local-travel sector.
The Sun sits at 20 degrees Scorpio in Leo’s fourth house all week, while the Moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn and then Aquarius by week’s end, touching Leo’s fifth, sixth and seventh houses in turn. Mars at 24 degrees Leo and Jupiter at 25 degrees Leo remain conjunct in the first house, an alignment also listed among the week’s aspects alongside Sun conjunct Moon, Venus sextile Mars, Uranus trine Pluto and Neptune sextile Pluto.
Love
Venus retrograde in Libra sits in Leo’s third house of communication through most of the week, which can make conversations with a partner or someone new feel slower to land. Once Venus turns direct on Nov. 13, those exchanges should flow more naturally again. The Moon’s move into Sagittarius early in the week lights up Leo’s fifth house of romance and creativity, a good stretch for a spontaneous date or a creative project shared with someone close.
Mars conjunct Jupiter in Leo’s first house adds confidence to how Leo shows up for a partner this week. That same energy can read as intensity to someone who prefers a slower pace, so pairing it with the patience Venus is asking for in communication helps keep things balanced.
Career And Money
With Mars and Jupiter both in Leo’s first house of self and identity, this is a week where personal initiative stands out at work. First impressions carry extra weight, whether that is a pitch, an interview or simply how Leo walks into a room. The new moon in Scorpio on Nov. 9, however, sits in the fourth house of home and family rather than career, a reminder that domestic matters may compete for attention even during a strong professional stretch.
Saturn retrograde in Aries continues to occupy Leo’s ninth house of travel, higher learning and beliefs, a placement that can slow down plans tied to long-distance work, further education or a big-picture business decision. Those plans are not off the table, they simply move at Saturn’s pace this week rather than Mars and Jupiter’s faster rhythm.
Wellbeing
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio through Nov. 13 keeps attention on Leo’s fourth house, which covers home and emotional roots. That makes this a good week to prioritize rest and familiar routines over new commitments, especially before Mercury turns direct. The Moon’s transit into Capricorn midweek brings focus to Leo’s sixth house of daily habits and health, a useful window for resetting sleep or work routines.
Uranus retrograde in Gemini continues to sit in Leo’s eleventh house of friends and future hopes, alongside Pluto in Aquarius in the seventh house of partnerships. Uranus trine Pluto this week, one of the five aspects active in this period, can bring unexpected clarity about a friendship or a one-on-one relationship without requiring any dramatic action from Leo.
Best Day Of The Week
Nov. 13 stands out as the best day this week for Leo. Both Mercury and Venus station direct that day, Mercury in Scorpio at 10:55 a.m. ET and Venus in Libra at 7:21 p.m. ET. With two personal planets shifting from retrograde to direct motion on the same day, communication and connection both get easier to navigate just as the week winds down.
