Leo
Born between: July 23rd - August 22nd
The Leo symbol is a lion and the attributes are mimicked by those born under the Leo star sign as they are proud, strong characters who are passionate leaders which unfortunately may be perceived as bossy.
Quite the armchair philosopher, you are thinking deeply about life and want to swap ideas with friends. You will maintain your distance, but still be happy to be around friends as long as everyone is tolerant. Try not to get irritated by anyone who tries to take your freedom away from you. Others find you a curious mix of tolerance and obstinacy. Auspicious colours are cerise and sharkskin. Lucky numbers are 40 and 2.
You seem rather cool and reserved, but your sophisticated approach will be just what is needed to bring respect from people in authority. Businesslike charm will get you further than frivolous jokes. If you are on the lookout for a new romance, you could find it at work or perhaps with someone slightly older. It may not be grand passion, but it could raise your social status, and get you invited to all the best places. Passionate colours are hibiscus and raw sugar. Lucky numbers are 69 and 45.
It's a time to withdraw into your own space, Leo. Everyone around you seems preoccupied and indifferent to your feelings, but you shouldn't take it so personally. You want to live well, and should be able to attract money and the better things of life in coming months. Accumulating possessions is important to your sense of wellbeing, but you need to watch a tendency to put too much value on purely materialistic things. Beneficial colours are charcoal and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 30 and 55.
New and challenging experiences appeal, but make sure they are positive and not awkward. Creative change is more than possible, but there is no point in turning everything on its head. Your emotions are also on a roller coaster ride and you want constant change in your intimate relationships. Your moods may confuse partners used to the old ways, but you really cannot make yourself into what you are not. Favourable colours are rouge and golden syrup. Lucky numbers are 46 and 76.
If you can avoid falling out with people in authority, you'll find that everything feels rather more entertaining than usual. Romance and your relationships with children are not light hearted or frivolous at the moment, but a serious matter to which you must devote a good deal of energy. Control a tendency to become obsessed, or to try to maintain too tight a control. Propitious colours are mocca and burnt umber. Lucky numbers are 52 and 74.
Do not expect much generosity, or support from other people, dear Leo. You may have to work more on your own, but instead of getting into a gripe and a groan, use the time wisely to achieve a little more. Focus on narrow tasks that require attention to detail. With Saturn passing through Cancer, your twelfth solar house, it is vital for your sense of well-being and enjoyment to get to grips with feelings of negativity. Auspicious colours are buttercup and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 7 and 10.
Dynamic Mars is in your eleventh house of friends, group efforts and future plans for a few weeks, so you feel the urge to throw your energy into team activities at work. You don't intend to let the grass grow under your feet, so set some determined and definite goals for the future. You like to think of yourself as a good team player, but at the moment you find your patience is tested to the limit. Determined colours are oyster and alizarin crimson. Lucky numbers are 45 and 75.
You need to be more light-hearted in conversations and discussions today. Try to keep an open mind and don't be tunnel-visioned. You cut quite a commanding figure at social functions, attracting attention by your charismatic presence. Just don't let your social ambitions push you into overstretching yourself, whether financially or otherwise. Advantageous colours are burgundy and wheat. Lucky numbers are 33 and 63.
You are very responsive to the mood around you at work and therefore good at handling group situations. You have incentive and ambition, but you're putting it across in a very nice way for other people. You will act rather unpredictably, switching from one feeling to another without warning. This makes it tricky for close relationships to run on an even keel. So you do need tolerant partners who will let you go your own way. Resourceful colours are turquoise and topaz. Lucky numbers are 55 and 25.
Your intuition will be working well, so you can look ahead and know a little of what is coming. Mixing with folks from different countries and cultures will put you in brighter spirits. A real attack of wanderlust makes it tricky to settle down to anything requiring concentration. Don't be stuck in a corner doing tedious chores. You'd rather be flying round all over the place, having adventures. So let your imagination soar. Positive colours are bright orange and pale hyacinth. Lucky numbers are 63 and 39.
The Equinox is the time of year to review your beliefs and philosophy of living. Your outlook does not remain static from childhood to old age, due to the movements of the planets. You constantly discard what no longer fits and take in new information which causes you to alter your approach. Co-operation will not always be easy but your enthusiasm will be catching, so folks should rally round. It's the start of a new way for you. Beneficial colours are gold and pearl. Lucky numbers are 78 and 14.
Because you come across as honest, outgoing, confident, and good with words you will be a popular companion at work and in your leisure activities. A charming message is heading your way, or a chance encounter that leaves you feeling rather ethereal. Maybe it will just be a passing moment, but it will bring a deeper sense of connection to a better world. Try to remember it when you have to get back into the hassle and hustle. This is the beginning of the astrological new year, marked by the Equinox, when the Sun enters Aries. It's a New Moon this year, so it's a powerful moment in time. Appropriate colours are viridian and ebony. Lucky numbers are 72 and 50. Read more on the Equinox!
You can get those days when you feel you've met someone who's a real soulmate. But it's always that kind of slightly deceptive feeling that leads you off down a path that is not always terribly sensible. You are quite telepathic at the moment, sensing what is not spoken, or knowing about events before they happen. It may help you understand what is going on with close partners, who don't seem to find it easy to express what they feel at the moment. Intuitive colours are pumpkin and tan. Lucky numbers are 14 and 27.
Not that you are normally timid, dear Leo, but you have suddenly found yourself in a position to stand up for yourself. Assert your views in a firm yet tactful way, then you'll be pleased with the outcome. Keep this experience in mind for the days to come when you may need to rise to a similar response. Aim to gain a more solid reputation, and guard your position, but don't sublimate your real feelings in the determination to succeed. Favourable colours are hyacinth and rich raisin. Lucky numbers are 10 and 50.
This is not a day for routine chores, boring people, or anything that requires much self-discipline. Companions will be amused to be around you (as always!) so there will be no doubt about your popularity. Your confidence around money is pretty inspiring for companions at work who see you as honest and successful. However, you must watch a tendency to be over-optimistic. Take care that you don't let your enthusiasm carry you off into unrealistic financial schemes. Fortunate colours are strawberry and parchment. Lucky numbers are 13 and 15.
You are feeling more strong, secretive and determined, Leo. You will not readily divulge what you are thinking, feeling or planning to any but your most intimate partners. All that dynamic energy is channelled into your career, so you can plan to achieve your ambitions. Because of this focus, you may find it very difficult to understand people who lack your drive. Just remember that everyone is different. Beneficial colours are dark slate and pink salmon. Lucky numbers are 46 and 38.
Fix your eagle eye on the things that need looking at. If you do, you will find that you can pick up the tiny details that need to be sorted out. This is not the time to keep your head in the clouds or amble along relying on luck to see you through. Do not promise more than you can deliver. Your intentions are good but you may be getting over-enthusiastic. Fortunate colours are banana and old rope. Lucky numbers are 8 and 15.
You don't want to be bothered by details at the moment since you want to see the broad picture. Just watch you are not being impractical or unrealistic. People demand a lot of you and you have to go out of your way to make sure everyone is well looked after. If you feel a bit emotionally squashed because of that, give yourself a few tiny treats through the day. Appropriate colours are sienna and cranberry. Lucky numbers are 37 and 41.
There's a spontaneous mood in the air, so let it all hang out and step happily into the spotlight. The venturesome Moon is dancing in your house of light-hearted romance, children and entertainment, so you will be seeking centre-stage. Are you in two minds about almost everything? Get clear on whether to follow your head or your heart. Auspicious colours are chestnut and rose. Lucky numbers are 14 and 22.
You will have intense encounters for a few days. They may not be actual confrontations in the sense of a flare-up, but no one seems willing to co-operate as much as you had hoped. Achievements may be slow in coming, so don't expect instant results. There is no reason to pull your verbal punches now because you treasure the truth, so mates may need a thick skin. Your strong hunches will turn out to be accurate. Fortunate colours are indigo and green peridot. Lucky numbers are 37 and 20.
There two very different planetary influences around you just now. One produces a lazy, extravagant mood while the other encourages self-discipline and self-control. Get the balance right and your businesslike charm will win the day. Especially as you seem to have a serious understanding of the suffering of others, and can work hard to relieve it in a practical way. Effective colours are silver and black onyx. Lucky numbers are 12 and 54.
This is a good day to retreat into a private place, preferably at home. But even if you're at work, you need some kind of protective niche where you can avoid awkward people, and hassles. If you have creative or diplomatic talents, put them out on display. You can turn your dreams into reality over the next couple of weeks, but you will have to discipline yourself. Creative colours are chestnut and terra cotta. Lucky numbers are 21 and 15.
Feeling flirty? You're probably spending money like mad on rather more entertaining things than usual. This is not the day for solid, sensible routines. You are pining for that electrical quality which puts all the neon lights on, so to speak. Your inventive, penetrating mind is now delving into areas other people find obscure. Adventurous colours are rouge and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 66 and 75.
Keep moving, but be wary of foot-in-mouth syndrome. If you leap into saying one or two things too sharply, it won't work. But if you're clear in what you're saying, then others will appreciate it. Avoid homing in on one matter to the point of obsession - so focused in on the detail that you can't see the broader picture. Focused colours are pistachio and citrine. Lucky numbers are 9 and 11.
If you hold back now from examining what is going on inside you or exploring your past, you are wary of finding out what lies below the surface. The strange thing is, you'd gain inner strength if you did. Your creative talents will require an effort to get mobilised. Superficial answers won't do. Keep digging and investigating until you find the answers and solutions that make you feel secure. Propitious colours are ebony and burnt umber. Lucky numbers are 17 and 28.
You're not going to feel secure until you get your finances in ship shape order, Leo. Even if close partners have a slightly different agenda to yours, your priority should be to protect yourself as much as possible. Then you can fit in with whatever joint schemes are important. If you are feeling more intense than usual, stay with the mood. Protective colours are sandstone and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 14 and 27.
Stay close to what you really feel deep inside you. Maybe you will be too sentimental or too sugary sweet on the surface. Try to be more honest about your real feelings. You want to be admired now, so you are putting a great deal of stress on how you look, so avoid airs and graces. Control your appetites. Favourable colours are graphite and heather. Lucky numbers are 5 and 35.
You are likely to be very generous to others and also indulgent with yourself. It might be the right time to do outstanding paper work as you will have good insights with a quick eye for what is out of place. It is a good day to get new things started. There may be nothing hugely important but it will wake you up. Beneficial colours are peach and musk. Lucky numbers are 11 and 58.
Demanding Venus makes you honest and very direct about your feelings, so if you want loved ones to be open and above board, be sure to keep lines of communication open. After all, you want titillating and amusing conversations, as well as cuddles. Ask for what you need - which is more pampering, indulging and feeling comforted. Playful colours are antique silver and glossy obsidian. Lucky numbers are 31 and 23.
If friends are a bit edgy, it's because not everyone wants to dance to your tune. But your straightforward approach cuts through barriers to the point of situations faster than usual. Lordly Jupiter, planet of good fortune and developing potential, is in your house of money so you should be having a good deal of luck. Don't let material aims take over too much, but find time to consider what else you value in life. Providential colours are maroon and ginger. Lucky numbers are 9 and 25.
Noticing subtle clues and hints of the unspoken needs of close companions can make you caring, but watch that you're not pulled into everyone else's problems. Protect yourself from being drained, or getting dragged into activities that don't interest you terribly much. You want excitement, stimulation and a bit of a challenge to hold your interest. Appropriate colours are chartreuse and spanish leather. Lucky numbers are 44 and 76.
