For individuals with Leo Ascendant, the period from July to December 2025 is expected to bring a mix of new career opportunities and challenges. The Jupiter–Rahu combination forming a trine (nava-pancham) connection between the 11th and 7th houses will support growth in career, financial gains, and the arrival of new professional opportunities. However, the retrograde aspect of Saturn on the 10th house from July to November may create delays, workplace struggles, and increased pressure in professional life. Caution is advised, as there may be a risk of betrayal or setbacks caused by someone close. For entrepreneurs and business owners, this phase offers potential for profit and expansion, but due to Saturn’s influence, there is also a possibility of losses, cancelled orders, or difficulty retaining earnings. Overall, this is a transitional period marked by both gains and setbacks, requiring careful planning, vigilance, and patience to navigate successfully.
For individuals with Leo Ascendant working in salaried professions, the second half of 2025 may bring difficulties in saving money. While the combination of Jupiter and Rahu ensures a steady inflow of income, the influence of retrograde Saturn may lead to unnecessary or unexpected expenses, weakening your ability to accumulate savings. You are advised to avoid lending money to others, refrain from putting funds into unproductive household expenditures, and carefully assess risks and returns before making any new investments in your professional space. Although income will continue, expenses may rise proportionately, preventing effective savings. In particular, during the month of August, Mercury’s position in the 12th house may lead to a surge in avoidable spending, making financial discipline crucial.

From a family perspective, the period from July to December 2025 is expected to be mixed for those with Leo Ascendant. The combined influence of Ketu and Mars on the ascendant may lead to irritability or anger issues, potentially causing disagreements within the family. However, the positive aspect of Jupiter and Rahu in the 3rd house indicates strong connections with siblings and close friends, along with opportunities for outings, get-togethers, or short trips. Despite these favorable moments, the retrograde positions of Jupiter and Saturn may bring occasional family tensions, especially involving elders or authority figures, and could result in health-related concerns or unnecessary household expenses.
Emotional sensitivity, financial caution, and open communication will be essential to maintain harmony during this period.
For individuals with Leo Ascendant, the period from July to December 2025 brings a phase of warmth and emotional intensity in romantic relationships. Those wishing to propose marriage to their partner will find this time favorable, though the influence of retrograde Jupiter calls for patience, maturity, and sensitivity in communication. While love and affection will grow, there is also a tendency to overanalyze or interfere unnecessarily, which could weaken the bond.
For those who have reached marriageable age, there is a strong possibility of receiving new proposals, and those seeking new relationships may find meaningful connections during this period. Mutual loyalty and emotional depth between partners are likely to flourish. However, due to the retrograde effects of Saturn and Jupiter, occasional disagreements or emotional misunderstandings may arise. It is important to avoid excessive advice-giving, controlling behavior, or anger, as these can create rifts in otherwise strong and promising relationships.

For individuals with Leo Ascendant, the period from July to December 2025 is generally favorable for academic pursuits, though there may be occasional lapses in discipline due to the influence of retrograde Saturn, which can lead to carelessness or lack of focus. However, the beneficial aspect of Jupiter and Ketu in the 5th house strongly supports the attainment of educational degrees and the growth of spiritual and philosophical interests. This period is especially auspicious for those involved in spiritual studies, meditation practices, or seeking divine grace through learning. Students pursuing education in fields such as teaching, consulting, spirituality, philosophy, or law are likely to experience positive outcomes and intellectual progress. Still, it is important to avoid overconfidence, distractions, and inconsistency in efforts, in order to make the most of this otherwise supportive time.
For individuals with Leo Ascendant, the period from July to December 2025 is expected to bring mixed results in terms of health. During August, the conjunction of Sun and Mercury in the 12th house may lead to physical weakness and an increase in seasonal health issues such as fatigue, mild infections, or lowered immunity. The retrograde Saturn’s influence on the 8th house also suggests the possibility of unplanned medical expenses, especially related to family members’ health. People already dealing with conditions such as leg pain, digestive disorders, or diabetes should be especially cautious, as symptoms may worsen. Additionally, one of the parents may experience discomfort related to the lower back, urinary infections, or leg-related problems. Preventive care and a disciplined lifestyle will be important to maintain overall well-being during this phase.
To maintain balance and attract positive energy, it is recommended to feed black lentils to a cow, a gesture of compassion and spiritual offering.
Additionally, offer biscuits to a dog, symbolizing humility and kindness towards all beings. Seek the grace and protection of Lord Shiva by staying devoted and regularly reciting the Shiva Chalisa, which helps foster inner peace, strength, and divine guidance in times of uncertainty.
For Leo moon sign individuals, the 12 Mukhi Rudraksha is recommended. Linked to the Sun, it enhances leadership qualities, self-confidence, and vitality, complementing Leo’s dynamic and authoritative personality.
