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.
A loved one is being bossy and controlling, and you don't like it. The more you stand up to them, the more determined they'll be to have the upper hand, and before you know it you'll be involved in a battle of wills. It may be much better to walk away from the situation until you've both simmered down. Otherwise you'll get drawn into some nasty mud-slinging. Beneficial colours are lime and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 15 and 3.
If possible you should rearrange your schedule so you can devote plenty of time to your social life. It will be a joy to spend time with friends and family, even if you're only visiting the shops or sharing a cup of coffee. Someone may try to interest you in one of their favourite hobbies, and it might appeal to you more than you imagined at first. Adventurous colours are ginger and silver. Lucky numbers are 14 and 38.
You shine in social settings during the next few weeks so try to get out and about as much as possible. This will be a terrific chance to get to know some new people, especially if you've recently moved to a new area and are feeling a little lonely at the moment. Consider lending your support to a local enterprise or activity, or joining a neighbourhood campaign. Dynamic colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 16 and 29.
During the coming fortnight, assess the progress of your career and long term goals and make sure that everything is going according to plan. If you realize that you've got stuck along the way or that your current ambitions are a waste of time, take some constructive action rather than just drift along and hope that the situation somehow resolves itself. Fortunate colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 21 and 6.
You have a lot of energy and willpower today, so use it wisely. If you discover that someone is easily influenced by what you tell them, don't take advantage of this situation to make them do dance to your tune. Such a tactic will backfire on you sooner or later. Nevertheless, this is a marvellous day for putting forward your point of view without worrying about what others think of it. Uplifting colours are silvery white and fuschia pink. Lucky numbers are 16 and 7.
If you're considering spending some money, this is the perfect day to do it. You'll be able to weigh up the pros and cons of what you're doing, and will manage to resist the temptation to spend more than you can afford. You might also end up with a really good investment that will grow in value over the years. Auspicious colours are lavender and pumpkin. Lucky numbers are 11 and 3.
Someone is very full of themselves today. They're eager to blow their own trumpet, whether or not you think it's justified. They might also get carried away and exaggerate a little, so don't believe everything you hear. Make sure that you don't behave in this way yourself, even if it's very tempting to over-egg the pudding or put an extra gloss on a story. You'll be caught out! Favourable colours are mother of pearl and jade. Lucky numbers are 25 and 35.
If you've been trying to push a grievance or resentment to the back of your mind, it will make its presence felt today. Perhaps it's a loved one who's so keen to dredge up the past? Either way, you should do your best to deal with the facts rather than to indulge in emotionally-charged accusations or dramatic scenes. These may feel satisfying at the time but they won't help the underlying problem one bit. Harmonious colours are sable and avocado. Lucky numbers are 3 and 64.
A loved one is showing a marked tendency to rewrite history, and they're somehow kidding themselves in the process. Should you set them straight or allow them to indulge their fantasies? Be wary if you're involved in a property deal because someone may not be entirely honest with you today, perhaps omitting to tell you some rather important facts or glossing over unfavourable details. Keep your wits about you. Strong colours are blood red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 4 and 52.
You're feeling robust and energetic, and you have a strong urge to do whatever appeals to you. This may mean that you postpone something that you don't fancy doing so you can have more fun with another activity. You'll also be quite forceful when talking to partners, especially if you want to persuade them into seeing things from your point of view. But will you know when to back off? Let's hope so! Adventurous colours are bright orange and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 9 and 60.
Your emotions are like water today, flowing in all directions. This means you're very susceptible to other people's behaviour and will be easily swayed by them. If they're happy, you'll be happy, and you'll be just as strongly affected if they're feeling miserable. Right now you're acting like a mirror to partners, rather than being your own person. Emotional colours are dark red and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 12 and 56.
Life could easily get you down today, so take care. You might be depressed by the turn a conversation takes, and it's better not to watch or listen to any news forecasts. You're definitely showing a tendency to look on the gloomy side and to imagine that things are worse than they really are. If you ask someone for advice, they'll be cautious at best and downright pessimistic at worst. So be prepared! Soothing colours are silvery plum and cream. Lucky numbers are 17 and 11.
Any tasks you concentrate on today will go like clockwork and it's satisfying to get them out of the way, especially if some of them normally feel like chores. If you work from home, you could be inspired to do some tidying up or to re-arrange your desk or files in a more efficient or ergonomic way. Fortunate colours are sage green and beige. Lucky numbers are 32 and 9.
You'll get on well with everyone you meet today, whether they're close friends or strangers, and whether you'd arranged to see them or you bump into them by accident. You might even receive an invitation as a result, or be inspired to issue a few of your own. With communications going so well now, it's a good day for starting a discussion or negotiation. Sociable colours are dark pink and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 8 and 21.
If you're currently thinking about ways to brighten up your home, you'll come up with some amazing ideas today. In fact, you'll be rather impressed with them because they'll show such foresight and ingenuity. Jot them down while they're fresh in your mind because it would be very annoying to forget them, especially if the brainwaves are coming thick and fast. Insightful colours are aqua and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 7 and 74.
You're in a quiet and reflective mood, and you welcome the opportunity to spend some time alone. Maybe you could go for a solitary walk, or tell the rest of the family that you don't want to be disturbed for a while. Your thoughts will start to veer towards the past, making you feel nostalgic but also offering you the chance to resolve an old problem. Beneficial colours are ebony and mango. Lucky numbers are 7 and 50.
The next couple of weeks are great for talking to your nearest and dearest about whatever seems important at the time. If your usual conversations revolve around such mundane topics as what to have for supper, make an effort now to discuss deeper subjects. You might start talking about the past or finally be able to forgive one another for previous misdemeanours. Opportune colours are pistachio and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 40 and 78.
All communications go very well during the coming fortnight, thanks to today's eclipsed New Moon. You're ambitious by nature and this is a very good time to discuss your career goals with your boss, or ask for a raise. Don't worry, your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. Communicative colours are avocado and russet. Lucky numbers are 31 and 28.
The best way to deal with any problems or misunderstandings between you and a certain person is to discuss them today. You're forthright without being rude, and are keen to speak from the heart without covering your words in a layer of treacle. Be prepared to talk about what's happening between you and make sure you listen to the other person's point of view too. Opportune colours are golden honey and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 8 and 38.
You're in a delightfully expansive and gregarious mood today, and you're determined to enjoy yourself at every opportunity. This is bound to involve a lot of interesting conversation and you'll happily chat away for hours if you get the chance. That's great if you can spare the time but not such good news if you're supposed to be doing something else, such as work. Soaring colours are fuchsia pink and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 16 and 28.
A loved one is exerting some pressure on you, and from where you're standing it feels extraordinarily like emotional or moral blackmail. It's obvious that they want to bend you to their will but you don't like their methods. You will also baulk at giving them the satisfaction of agreeing to their demands, and worried that it will make them think they can lean you on any time they like. Ideal colours are smoky quartz and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 7 and 58.
Cherished possessions have extra importance and significance for you today. You might enjoy polishing or cleaning some of them, or simply admiring them and congratulating yourself on owning them. Think twice before offering to lend anything of value because you'll be worried about it while it's out of your sight and you'll be heartbroken if anything happens to it. Favourable colours are peacock blue and shimmering gold. Lucky numbers are 38 and 18.
You're feeling sociable and outgoing, and the last thing you want to do is lock yourself away from everyone. Although you'll enjoy being with loved ones you'll be equally happy to chat to anyone else who happens to be around, and you could be drawn into an interesting conversation with a neighbour. Any local event that you're involved in will go well now because you'll put so much effort into making it a success. Propitious colours are ivory and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 17 and 63.
You need a brief change of scene today and jump at the prospect of any sort of outing, even if it's only a quick trip to the supermarket or a walk round the block with the dog. You never know who you might meet on your travels, and it looks as though there could be a very lucky encounter with a certain someone. Things are looking up! Auspicious colours are strawberry and pumpkin. Lucky numbers are 6 and 52.
Your spirits will plummet at the first hint of a setback or problem today, plunging you into a deep sense of gloom. This probably isn't justified but you aren't prepared to acknowledge that right now and will prefer to lick your wounds for a while. Try to snap out of this miserable mood by doing something that restores your faith in life. Empowering colours are bright red and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 28 and 6.
Tread carefully in all emotional matters today because you'll encounter a few surprises. For instance, a partner might drop a bombshell that leaves you reeling, such as suggesting that you introduce more freedom into your relationship. If you're trying to get a new alliance off the ground, things won't go your way today and it seems the odds are stacked against you. Harmonious colours are peach and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 22 and 55.
This is a fantastic day for creative and artistic activities because they'll bring out the best in you. They'll also provide you with a healthy outlet for your emotions, especially if you're still smarting over what happened yesterday. This is a super day for being with close relatives, neighbours and partners, because you'll create a very harmonious and relaxed atmosphere. Creative colours are dark gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 37 and 26.
A loved one is taking things very much to heart today, so they'll create a tense and tricky atmosphere at the drop of a hat. They might engineer a row in which they can get a few grievances off their chest or boss you about in some way. Or are you the one who's behaving like this? If so, try not to let your emotions get control over you, making you do things you'll regret later on. Stable colours are spring green and violet. Lucky numbers are 9 and 53.
During most of October you'll enjoy life's little luxuries and treats even more than usual, and that's saying something. After all, if you're a typical Leo you love all the good things in life and do your best to make sure that you have them. But beware of being too self- indulgent during the next three weeks, so you end up out of pocket because you've simply got to have whatever you want. Beneficial colours are plum and ultramarine. Lucky numbers are 23 and 63.
This is one of those days when you feel you ought to cut yourself into several pieces in order to satisfy everyone's demands. One person may want you to go out with them, another may want you to stay at home and yet another may have something urgent to tell you. Yet you can't be in three places at once! Try to keep your cool and don't let the situation get to you. Everyone will have to take their turn. Favourable colours are caramel and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 35 and 11.
You need patience when dealing with a certain person today because they're getting in a terrible muddle. They may not know what they're talking about or they could give you some misleading information. Yet you are also finding it hard to tune into what's really going on around you, and have a tendency to over-emphasize things or convince yourself that a fantasy is fact. Watch out! Practical colours are dark blue and dark yellow. Lucky numbers are 19 and 29.
