Astrologer Lynne Ewart predicts what’s in store for you this fortnight

If it’s your birthday this fortnight...

…you are born under Leo the regal and showbiz sign of the Lion, with a big warm heart and a natural tendency to shine, which can often find you centre stage whether or not you intended to head there. Leo has a marvellous ability to cut through all of the petty stuff and to focus on what truly matters, which is why so many successful and popular leaders are Leos. ■ Famous Leos celebrating this fortnight include Helen Mirren, Mick Jagger, Matt le Blanc, Jo Brand, Sally Gunnell and David Essex (both pictured).

LEO JULY 23-AUGUST 23 Is it time for a change ? There could be happy domestic developments, followed by a restructuring of duties.
