Leo — October 2026 Monthly Overview
Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by Sun — warm, expressive and hungry for appreciation. This page is the month's real sky, computed from the JPL DE421 ephemeris: where the Sun, Moon and planets actually are in October 2026, and the dates the Moon spends in Leo. It is a general overview, not a personal reading — personal transits need your birth chart.

The Sun is not in Leo this month; it is in Scorpio. the month's Sun brings depth where your Fire brings heat: passion and sensitivity together. Pace is everything — enthusiasm can overwhelm, and sensitivity can read as a wet blanket.
Moon dates for Leo
The Moon is in Leo on: 5 October 2026, 6 October 2026. The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so these are the month's emotionally fire-flavoured windows for Leo — the dates are computed, the flavour is the sign's own element and traits, nothing more specific is claimed.
What this is — and isn't
- It is the month's actual sky: planet signs, ingress dates and Moon phases computed from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
- It isn't a personal transit reading. Transits are measured against your natal chart, and this page has no birth data — no houses, no solar return, no dated personal predictions.
