The honest horoscope
Leo horoscope for December 2026
Leo, December is mostly supportive, split between two parts of life: play and romance, and travel and study. From 6 to 25 December Mercury is supportive for play and romance, and so is the new Moon on 9 December. On 11 December Saturn turns forward again and is neutral for travel and study. On 13 December Neptune turns forward again and is supportive for travel and study. The month’s main supportive date is 13 December, when Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo itself. The tradition reads a retrograde as going back over ground it has already covered. From 4 December Venus is neutral for home and family.
