Leo has a majesty and charm that give them an aura of being showy – and that is just fine as far as Leo is concerned.
They have the allure of the stage and screen so when they enter a room all eyes can’t help but turn their way.
Leo is a fixed sign and well known for its lack of flexibility.
Once a Leo takes a stand, they will stay with it until the end. No going back, no changing the rules.
Because Leo has a king or queen complex, they want to be treated with respect. No respect, no Leo will stay around long.

Here we are the week before the full moon in Aquarius, so expect high emotions and low patience. Next Mercury retrograde won’t happen until the beginning of October. With that in mind, there is plenty of time to sign contracts or buy cars. Best day this week is Thursday, the 7th when the heavens will be glowing with good energy.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) The activity going on in the skies will allow you time and energy to fasten your seat belt for the next round. Uranus remains in Aries and will bring new ventures to deal with and then move on. Look for a new BFF interest in your life that will add more sparkle.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Putting your new plan into action might give you the challenge you need right now. So your motto this week could be: “get started.” It is a perfect time for the necessary discipline, which you can be good at. Look for some drama and then start in your new direction and more money.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) The time has come to stop talking and start moving your feet toward a new goal. You are in a mellow period and need to use it to your advantage. Don’t let anyone talk you out of what you need to get done. A new love could be just around the corner. So allow time for it.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) Just remember: He who gets the last laugh, wins the game. You just had the last laugh. So you are a winner and must treat yourself as such for some time. New people will enter your life expecting fun. So make sure you are ready, willing and able to share the good times to come.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) There will be opportunities, the likes of which you have never known. Be ready since Jupiter could include love and adventure. Any proposals sent your way can be considered real opportunities for you to expand in several walks of life. Don’t ignore new requests for help.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) This is really not a good time to put off facing some of the issues you might have ignored. It could be time to cuddle up and talk things out. Then take your life from there. Otherwise you could end up once again confused and barking up the wrong tree. Tell yourself, “Not again.”
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) Strong aspects from both Uranus and Pluto to your sun are forcing a warm review of your lifestyle. Life is now saying, if you wish to remain in charge, then you will make the next move. Think of that when you are feeling wishy-washy and can’t make up your mind.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) Mars and Saturn are both in Scorpio presenting some frustration because of the constant stop-and-go nature of life now. Try getting in tune with this friction and balance out the constant upside-down feeling. Do that and it is only a matter of time before success is yours.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) We often talk of the hazards of the planet Neptune. But, if you are taking advantage of the blue blood of the planet, life is taking on a new aura for you. Keep pushing for the good life and don’t take no for an answer from anyone any time. You are headed in a new refined direction and there is no turning back.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) Although your finances are improving on a daily basis, some of your relationships may need repair. Try patching any breaks with friends as soon as you are aware. If you ignore them, they will be over and you will be unhappy. The patches will work beautifully.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) now that Mars, the planet of action and activity, is in Scorpio, square your sun you may experience some unexpected tension. Try and keep your cool and avoid any arguments, you will not win. A former BFF could turn up and help you through this period when any upset is up to you.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) A new love could turn your life around and create a warm atmosphere both at work and home. You are in charge. That means go slowly as you continue to understand your own needs and also the needs of others. Your creativity is improving along with your disciplined self. So stay on schedule.
