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.
Today's New Moon ushers you into 2006 with a spring in your step and a determination to brighten up your daily routine. The sky's the limit. This is also the time to think about ways of boosting your health and general well-being, especially if you've tended to take them for granted recently. You probably already know what you should do, but seek medical advice if you know you need to take yourself in hand but haven't a clue where to start. Wild colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 13 and 36.
Everything you do is tinged with extra significance today. This is lovely if you're happy and with people you care about, but it won't be so good if you're feeling fed up and are having a difficult time because all your problems will be magnified. Do your best to keep things in proportion no matter what happens and not to read more into situations than they merit. Stabilising colours are russet and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 10 and 17.
If you're still feeling frustrated after yesterday's twists and turns, work off steam by doing something that's completely radical or unusual. And take someone along for company if possible. You'll also enjoy exploring a side of your personality that's usually hidden away. What you don't want right now is to get bogged down in routine or to spend time with people who are totally predictable. Positive colours are ruby red and primrose yellow. Lucky numbers are 8 and 59.
Life is rather difficult today, unfortunately. Someone is being obstructive and unhelpful, so you feel they're standing in your way or deliberately snookering whatever you're trying to achieve. Although you're angry with them for the way they're behaving, there may be good reasons why you can't show your feelings, such as the fact that they're your boss. Advantageous colours are blackberry and plum. Lucky numbers are 21 and 71.
This is a lovely day for enjoying your creature comforts whenever you get the chance. Pull up a chair and relax! It's also a wonderful opportunity to spend time with some of your close family, even if you don't do anything very special together. If you can hear the siren call of the Christmas sales you'll enjoy picking up a few bargains, especially if they have a domestic or family theme. Auspicious colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 15 and 47.
Yesterday was good fun but you'd like to take things a little easier today. Maybe you simply want to potter around at home, eating up the leftovers and looking at your Christmas presents. Mind you, you might still be inspired to cook up a storm in the kitchen or to create a very cosy and festive atmosphere for your nearest and dearest. Ideal colours are apricot and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 34 and 53.
You're in exactly the right mood to have an enjoyable, festive and happy Christmas. You're feeling friendly, welcoming and patient, and you'll do your very best to make sure that everyone has a good time. Don't be surprised if your intuition works well, perhaps telling you what someone's going to say before they open their mouth or telling you which conversational topics to avoid in order to keep the peace. Harmonious colours are copper and dark green. Lucky numbers are 11 and 71.
It's Christmas Eve and you're feeling surprisingly well- organized. So get out that list you wrote the other day and consult it. Forgotten anything important? If you won't be seeing some of your close relatives during the next few days, they'll appreciate it if you give them a ring or send them a message to let them know you're thinking of them. Favourable colours are grapefruit and blackcurrant. Lucky numbers are 10 and 35.
In a panic and not sure what to do first? It's one of those tricky days when there aren't enough hours in which to do everything and you're feeling frazzled. There could also be a mini drama about a work problem, a health matter or something connected with one of your pets. But don't blow it out of proportion because that will waste valuable time that would be better spent sorting out the problem. Ideal colours are lavender and aqua. Lucky numbers are 15 and 41.
Still got some last-minute Christmas shopping to do? Then you'll enjoy battling your way through the shops, and you'll also have fun wielding your cash or credit card in all directions. But try not to get too carried away, Leo, especially if this has already been an expensive month. Yes, it's Christmas but that doesn't mean you should bankrupt yourself in order to have a good time. Favourable colours are pale gold and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 33 and 22.
Your thoughts are running along very practical and methodical lines today, so it's another excellent opportunity to make sure you're fully prepared for the coming festivities. Rather than rely on trying to remember what you have to do, which is always a bit dicey at this time of year, it will be far better to write everything down and keep it in a safe place. If you can spare the time you'll enjoy curling up with a thought-provoking book. Fortunate colours are spring green and coffee. Lucky numbers are 40 and 17.
How are your Christmas preparations coming along? This is the perfect day to take stock and work out what you've achieved and what is still to be done. While you're about it, check that you have adequate supplies of things you'll be relying upon over the holidays, whether it's alcohol, food or lightbulbs, and also make sure that vital appliances are working properly. If they aren't, fix them now. You don't want them to go on the blink at the wrong moment. Opportune colours are black satin and white quartz. Lucky numbers are 6 and 67.
Someone is being very contrary today. They may say one thing and do another, or completely contradict themselves all day long. And the more trapped or restricted they feel, the more eccentric and unpredictable they'll be. If you're wise you'll take everything they say with a pinch of salt, to avoid getting caught up in irritating arguments and puzzling U-turns. They'll soon sort themselves out and get back to normal. Emotional colours are violet and apple blossom. Lucky numbers are 26 and 26.
Someone is quite a handful today. It's not that they're playing up so much, as being rather demanding and emotional. They'll make you feel guilty if you have to spend time away from them because they seem to expect you to be by their side all day long. Or are you the one who's suddenly clingy and needy? If so, try not to smother someone with your emotional demands. Inspiring colours are magenta and silver. Lucky numbers are 2 and 74.
You're caught between feeling optimistic about something and feeling rather despondent, especially if it concerns your family or home life. Maybe you want to push ahead with a domestic plan while at the same time being worried that you can't afford it, or you're in two minds over what to do about a relative. Wait a few days and see if things get any clearer. Beneficial colours are hazelnut and cream. Lucky numbers are 27 and 3.
Is it your imagination, or is a loved one being forceful and controlling today? They're throwing their weight around and insisting that you do what they tell you, or they're being highly emotional and rather draining to be around. Make sure that you don't behave in this way yourself because it won't make you very popular. In fact, it will turn out to be self-defeating, because you put off the very people you were hoping to get on your side. Ideal colours are silvery grey and violet. Lucky numbers are 2 and 45.
The astrological emphasis is on your relationships and Venus, the planet of love. This is very good news because it means that you'll be even more charming and attractive than usual during the next few weeks. You'll also do your best to find a compromise with partners whenever possible, although this may sometimes make you eager to pacify them and accede to their wishes even if that works to your disadvantage. Romantic colours are dark pink and white. Lucky numbers are 36 and 21.
A friend is very supportive and helpful today, much to your delight. They help you out when you need a hand, or simply give you some much-needed moral support. Make sure you return the favour whenever it's appropriate. If you have the time you'll enjoy being busy with a favourite hobby or pastime too, and it will help you to relax. Sensitive colours are almond and lilac. Lucky numbers are 4 and 26.
It's delightfully easy to get on well with colleagues and customers today, thanks to your cheerful attitude and sunny disposition. You want everyone to hit it off with everyone else, and you're doing your best to make sure that happens. Even if you're with someone you don't really like very much, you'll try hard to overcome your feelings about them and to make the best of the situation. If you're going to a job interview, you'll charm everyone you meet. Dreamy colours are pineapple and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 28 and 39.
You're in a very playful frame of mind from today and this carefree mood will continue until January. It will be great for keeping your brain entertained, perhaps by doing lots of puzzles or quizzes. Or maybe you fancy turning your hand to some competitions. After all, someone has to win, so why shouldn't it be you? You'll also enjoy putting your thoughts down on paper during the next few weeks. Communicative colours are peach and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 31 and 67.
It's a great day for fixing situations and circumstances that have gone wrong recently. For instance, you might want to repair a gadget that's gone on the blink or patch up your differences with someone. If you're planning to go away over the Christmas holidays, this is a good opportunity to check that all the arrangements are running smoothly and that you haven't forgotten anything vital, such as renewing your passport. Passionate colours are indigo and claret. Lucky numbers are 1 and 5.
You're in an adventurous and outgoing mood today, feeling very sociable and gregarious. It's a wonderful day for getting together with people who are on the same wavelength as you and for enjoying their company. It's also great for making some new acquaintances because you'll soon find that you have lots in common. This is a terrific day for taking off on your travels, too, whether you go near or far. Passionate colours are peach blossom and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 24 and 52.
After yesterday's explosions you're keen to patch up your quarrels and show that there are no hard feelings. It will help if you can talk about what went wrong, and also why it happened. This isn't an opportunity to continue the argument, but simply a chance to thrash things out so everyone knows where they stand. And if you want to apologize, then that's exactly what you should do. Lucky colours are beige and sapphire. Lucky numbers are 17 and 11.
Feelings run high today, leading to some passionate outbursts and displays of temperament. Someone is feeling jealous or insecure, and as a result they're trying to control their relationship with you. Or is it you who's been bitten by the green-eyed monster.... There may be a dispute over a shared resource, such as a joint bank account. Sort it all out as soon as possible so things can get back to normal. Diplomatic colours are gold and ginger. Lucky numbers are 40 and 77.
You're full of compassion and empathy today, Leo and it shows. Other people will soon realize that you have their best interests at heart and you're doing your utmost to take care of them. If someone has hurt or disappointed you recently, try to find it in your heart to forgive them, just as you hope they'd forgive you if the boot were on the other foot. Propitious colours are blueberry and topaz. Lucky numbers are 22 and 45.
You're raring to go now, but take care not to bite off more than you can chew. Don't take on more work than you can comfortably handle and don't set yourself targets that turn out to be impossibly ambitious. Do your best to scale things down a little to avoid getting egg on your face, as it would be embarrassing to have to admit defeat. Stabilising colours are dark green and pastel pink. Lucky numbers are 5 and 48.
It's easy to find the right words today, which will come in handy if you want to sweet-talk someone into seeing things from your point of view or you're hoping to make amends after a recent misunderstanding. What's more, you'll have no problems in putting your feelings into words, so you can explain yourself clearly yet tactfully. Ideal colours are lavender and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 23 and 53.
You're in a very constructive and practical mood today, without getting bogged down in boring details. In fact, you will have a lot of fun, especially if you're busy on a creative or artistic project. Maybe this is your chance to start some Christmas preparations, such as doing some cooking for the freezer, making or icing the cake or writing your Christmas cards. Put on some festive music to get yourself in the mood. Dynamic colours are chocolate and bright red. Lucky numbers are 9 and 45.
This is a wonderful day for being with people you care about, and for letting them know how much you feel for them. You'll be able to manage this quite easily, Leo, thanks to your tremendous ability to express your feelings and make loved ones feel good. If someone has been going through a bad time lately you'll do your best to cheer them up or simply listen to them tell you all their troubles. Positive colours are peach and platinum. Lucky numbers are 27 and 47.
The month begins with a New Moon, which happily falls in the part of your chart that relates to love, laughter and pleasure. This means that you have a lot to look forward to over the next two weeks, including plenty of entertainment and enjoyment. Exactly what you want for the start of the party season! If you begin the month single, don't be surprised if you end it as one half of a lovey-dovey couple. Watch this space! Passionate colours are plum and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 13 and 9.
