Leo Horoscope 2026 General Overview
For Leo natives, 2026 will be a year of mixed results, with alternating periods of gain and challenges. The Dhaiyya effect of Saturn, occupying the 4th and 5th houses, will bring temporary ups and downs, particularly affecting health, business, and family matters.
Health may fluctuate due to seasonal changes, causing minor issues like cough, cold, headaches, body aches, indigestion, or acidity. Major illnesses are unlikely, but minor accidents may occur, so caution is advised while driving.
In business and profession, you will experience crest and troughs of profit, with financial stability improving in the last quarter of the year. Jupiter in the 2nd house until September 12th will help enhance productivity and implement new business methods, leading to favorable results over time.
Service professionals may face transfers or scrutiny, but cooperation from colleagues and proper guidance will ensure smooth progress. During Saturn’s retrogression (April 6th to August 25th), extra caution is advised, particularly in financial decisions and trusting strangers.
