horoscope

(July 23 – aug. 22)

This is your month, dear Leo! The Sun, fiery Mars and fair Venus are all in your sign, boosting your energy and making you more diplomatic and charming. You will attract important people and favourable circumstances, so make the most of this. Also, starting this month, you are entering a 12-month window where you will increase your earnings and assets.

(Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

This is the only month all year when the Sun is high in your chart, casting a flattering spotlight on you. Use this to make your mark with people of influence. A romance with someone in authority might begin. You’re entering one of the most popular years of your life. Others will benefit you. (This ad

vantage will not return until 2027.)

(Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

This is the only time all year when the Sun is opposite your sign; this means you will be more tired than usual, so get more rest. Although relations with others are harmonious, there will be times when you’re really annoyed with someone. Patience is your best ally. Also, the next year is a good time

to get a mortgage or a loan.

(April 20 – May 20)

Two shifts occur this month: It’s time to redecorate and tackle home renovations. Family events will be prominent, which means you’ll also want to entertain. (You love good food and drink, so people love being invited to dine at your table.) Start planning a vacation for the coming year because fun, pleasure

and romance will be your focus.

(Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Your personal year is ending, which means you should use this month to think about what you want your new year to bring. Studies show that defined goals with deadlines are more easily achieved.

It’s important to do this now because lucky Jupiter enters your sign this month to stay for a year, and this good fortune

won’t be back again until 2027.

(Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

This is your month to travel, especially for pleasure. You can also explore

opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education. A romance with someone from another culture might begin. Your reputation will have a boost over the next year—expect a promo

tion or public recognition.

(Feb. 19 – March 20)

You’re keen to get organized and be on top of everything at work and at home, and you want to improve your health as well. A workplace romance might begin this month. (Could this be why you want to buff your bod?) Meanwhile, the next year will improve all partnerships and attract serious relationships. It’s a great year to get married.

(May 21 – June 20)

This is a busy month. A jam-packed schedule of short trips and errands will accelerate your daily pace. Many will study, read and write more as well. In fact, you may make money from your words. The next year is your best opportunity to benefit from real estate in over a decade. You will improve (and

expand) your home and family.

(Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

You are one of the most sociable signs in the zodiac, so you’ll love this month: It’s when you’ll have the most

fun all year. Accept all invitations. Enjoy schmoozing. Share your hopes and dreams for the future with people because their feedback will help you. You’re beginning a spiritual year, which

will be subtle yet deeply influential.

(Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

This is a passionate, sexy month. Expect to be intense about everything, not just your physical desires. Be receptive to others because gifts, goodies and favours will come your way. Meanwhile, you are entering a 12-month window of travel opportunities and chances to explore publishing, medicine, the law and the media.

(March 21 – April 19)

August is, hands down, the most funloving, playful, flirtatious month of the year for you. Give in to your desires. Put yourself first. Plan thrilling escapes with vacations, romantic dates, the theatre, musical performances and sports events. Also, for the next year, you’ll have the best chance to improve

your job since 2004.

(June 21 – July 22)

Money is your focus now. Many of you will boost your earnings as well as buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Good news: You are now entering a year during which you will feel happier, more optimistic and more hopeful about life than you have in a long time. Enjoy this subtle shift of consciousness.

Happier is better. n
