Horoscopes

If it’s your birthday this fortnight...

… until the 23rd you are born under Leo, ruled by the majestic Sun itself, a radiant lover of life who’s often to be found at the heart of a gathering, with your warm and open nature that attracts so many to you. Leo can be bossy, but you are a good manager as a rule. You’re courageous, but can sometimes be a bit too proud to ask for help when it really might make a difference. Famous Leos celebrating this fortnight include Joanne Froggatt, James Corden, Madonna, Princess Anne and Bill Clinton (both pictured).

LEO

JULY 23-AUGUST 23 Mercury travels forward from the 19th ending delays, and even better news is that something you’ve longed for could soon materialise.
