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.
It's a frustrating day, so be warned. You'll take one step forward and two steps back in virtually everything you do so be prepared to make very slow progress. There could also be teeth-gnashing delays to something that you consider to be very important or urgent but which is being disregarded by everyone else. All you can do is be patient and wait for the situation to improve. Communicative colours are mother of pearl and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 22 and 17.
It's been a difficult week and you need something to cheer you up. So how about getting together with some friends or taking part in a group gathering. It will do you good to be with some kindred spirits, especially if you're all united in a common cause. Alternatively, set aside some time in which you can immerse yourself in a favourite hobby. Propitious colours are kiwifruit and coffee. Lucky numbers are 30 and 46.
Someone gets bogged down in petty, small-minded details today, which is guaranteed to get on your nerves. They may also be rather nit- picking or they could insist on doing everything by the rulebook, much to your frustration. However, if you start a row with them you'll be arguing the toss for ages because they won't let the matter drop. Harmonious colours are aqua and dark orange. Lucky numbers are 17 and 19.
You're feeling worn out and put-upon this Thursday, so everything you do becomes a mighty effort. What's more, you're very aware of your current responsibilities and they're weighing heavily on your shoulders. Well, what you need is some light relief, otherwise you'll end the day feeling exhausted and wretched. Try not to work all the hours God sends, either. Energising colours are apricot and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 6 and 43.
Sadly, your spirits take a bit of a nosedive today, and you start to see the gloomy side of things. Do your best to rise above this downbeat mood otherwise you'll feel really fed up by the end of the day. If you start to feel really pessimistic, remind yourself that things probably aren't nearly as bad as they seem and that you're over- reacting at the moment. Insightful colours are ultramarine and white. Lucky numbers are 13 and 18.
You'll enjoy giving your brain some exercise this Tuesday, although it doesn't have to be in any formal way. For instance, you might read a newspaper article that really makes you think or you could watch a television programme that sparks off your curiosity about something and sends you scurrying off to the internet or an encyclopedia to find out more. Ideal colours are dark pink and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 39 and 28.
You felt good yesterday and you feel even better today. It's a fabulous day because you're in such a positive and optimistic frame of mind, and as a result you'll attract lots of good experiences and possibly even some great opportunities. It's a particularly favourable day for making contact with someone who lives in another country or has a completely different background to yours. Fortunate colours are black satin and red velvet. Lucky numbers are 25 and 18.
Today's mood is in complete contrast to the way you felt yesterday because you're now feeling light-hearted and rather daring. It's great to be so upbeat and you'll want to make the most of it. You're keen to do things on the spur of the moment, especially if they involve travel, education, spirituality or international matters. Beneficial colours are beige and navy. Lucky numbers are 29 and 57.
You're in a very practical and efficient state today. You don't want to waste your time or energy on anything or anyone that isn't serious and worthwhile, and you'll want to give everyone a really good impression of yourself. But don't get so bogged down in being grown-up and sensible that you start to feel miserable or you take all the joy out of the day. Ideal colours are oyster and blackberry. Lucky numbers are 35 and 38.
You've been uncharacteristically quiet and withdrawn recently but you start to emerge from your shell today and you'll continue to feel outgoing and confident for the next four weeks. In fact, this is a super opportunity to put yourself first and to concentrate on personal matters, although there will inevitably be times when you have to put other people's needs before your own. Auspicious colours are mandarin and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 13 and 10.
Today's Full Moon will have a dramatic impact on your health during the next two weeks. This might be when you decide it's time to stop a bad habit, such as smoking, and to take yourself in hand. You should also spare a thought for your usual routine. If you think it's got stuck in a rut, you need to liven it up a little before you reach screaming pitch. Favourable colours are cream and toffee. Lucky numbers are 4 and 18.
You need to vary your routine today, especially if it shows all the signs of being predictable and mundane. So do something spontaneous and free-spirited in your lunch-hour, or rearrange your plans so you can shift some of the more mind-numbing tasks to another day. If you're going shopping with someone, don't let them lead you astray. Fortunate colours are pastel pink and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 22 and 71.
It's a day for enjoying yourself whenever you get the chance. You may have to fit in lots of work around these enjoyable interludes, of course, but at least you can have some fun. You don't even have to spend a lot of money, either, so consider meeting a friend for a quick lunch or arranging to get together after work. Romance is also looking good for you today and you can expect some delightful ego boosts from you-know-who. Auspicious colours are marzipan and auburn. Lucky numbers are 40 and 42.
Put your brain to good use today, Leo. You're in an inventive and clever mood, and in fact you'll feel fed up if you can't give your mind some exercise. Anything will do, provided that it amuses you. Pit your wits against a crossword or puzzle, show off in your local pub quiz or see if you can win a competition. You might also have a lively and stimulating debate with a special person. Beneficial colours are pistachio and dark yellow. Lucky numbers are 6 and 40.
You're in a really lively and energetic mood today, so make the most of it. You'll love to be busy, but only if you're doing things that interest or excite you. Anything boring won't float your boat at all and you'll look for any excuse to put it off until another day. If you meet someone new today you'll find them very sexy and exhilarating. It could be the start of something big. Prosperous colours are spring green and maroon. Lucky numbers are 26 and 26.
Big changes start to take place in your life today and they'll continue to affect you for the next two years. For a start, you'll want to take life rather seriously and will put a lot of effort into your personal ventures. You'll also discover that anything that's already shaky in your life will start to look even more fragile, while the things that are already strong will become even more secure and reliable. Liberating colours are fawn and blonde. Lucky numbers are 18 and 7.
You're in the mood to make some creative changes to your world today. You don't even feel any sense of trepidation or anxiety because you're convinced that you're doing the right thing. It's a fabulous day for booking up a holiday or arranging a long-distance journey, especially if you suspect that it will have a profound impact on your life. So go on, what are you waiting for? Ideal colours are crimson and amber. Lucky numbers are 8 and 76.
Your feelings are very near the surface today, but will they spill over? The likelihood is that they will, and they could create a bit of a fuss in the process. For instance, you might get so churned up about something that you say too much, or you could be so distracted by your own private thoughts that you say the wrong thing and put your foot in it. Try to think before you speak, Leo! Auspicious colours are burgundy and ivory. Lucky numbers are 21 and 7.
Yesterday it was your heart that played tricks on you but today it's your mind that's playing games. This means you might completely misinterpret what someone says to you, so you get totally the wrong end of the stick or you imagine that this person has said one thing when actually they've said the complete opposite. Do yourself a favour and try to be as straightforward as possible when talking to people. And if you don't understand something, ask! Favourable colours are cream and aqua. Lucky numbers are 10 and 29.
Your heart could play tricks on you today, so try not to let yourself be fooled. For instance, you might be completely smitten by someone who isn't a suitable partner or who even, in extreme circumstances, doesn't know that you exist. Yet you will yearn and long for them. You might also put someone on such a lofty pedestal that they're bound to fall off sooner or later. Ideal colours are dusky rose and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 15 and 20.
It's the perfect day for doing some shopping, especially if you can sneak off on your own for a short while. It's not that you're feeling antisocial, simply that you'll appreciate your own company and being able to wander wherever you want to go. If you know someone who's going through a bad time at the moment, this is a lovely day for getting in touch so they know you're thinking of them. Fortunate colours are apricot and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 27 and 71.
You're in a protective and security-conscious mood, and you aren't very keen on the idea of taking emotional, financial or physical risks. You might even feel rather possessive towards loved ones because you're reluctant to let them out of your sight. This isn't a good day for discussing any changes that challenge the stability of your world because they feel like too much of a threat at the moment. Expressive colours are dark green and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 8 and 40.
If you were charming yesterday you're even more so today. In fact, you can barely put a foot wrong at the moment, because you're saying and doing exactly the right things. It's an especially good day for talking and thinking about your feelings, provided that you don't completely hog the conversation so no one else can get a word in edgeways. That would not be very charming behaviour! Liberating colours are chocolate and primrose yellow. Lucky numbers are 21 and 8.
You're in a very gregarious mood today, which is just what you want if you're rushing around and meeting lots of people. You'll also have plenty of energy, which will come in handy if it turns out to be a busy day. You'll cut a swathe through people wherever you go because they'll be so taken by your amiable persona, charm and vivacity. What a shame you can't bottle them because you'd make a fortune. Auspicious colours are apple blossom and mandarin. Lucky numbers are 3 and 18.
It's essential to have faith in yourself and in other people today because it will move mountains. So keep a positive attitude because it might have some wonderful results. You could be fascinated by someone you meet who's very interested in mysticism or spirituality and whose enthusiasm makes you want to know more. Well, why not start learning about it right now? Beneficial colours are black satin and red velvet. Lucky numbers are 21 and 55.
Today brings a New Moon and you'll really feel its influence during the next two weeks. This will be a great time to get involved in a good cause, such as lending your weight to a charity. You might also do some hospital visiting or spend time with someone who keeps themselves out of the public gaze for some reason. Favourable colours are burnt orange and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 36 and 46.
You need a break from everyone today, preferably in comfortable surroundings. The fact is that you're lost in a world of your own at the moment and you don't want to snap out of it unless it's absolutely necessary. As a result of all this you're feeling very sensitive and slightly vulnerable, so won't want to spend too long hanging around anyone who's rumbustious or aggressive. Fortunate colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 14 and 20.
You're feeling very loving, affectionate and compassionate this Monday. This means you're prepared to give someone a second chance if they've upset you recently. It also means that anyone who's lucky enough to be near you will be sure of basking in plenty of your irresistible Leo warmth. This is a key day for romance, even if you weren't expecting it. Expressive colours are jade and silver. Lucky numbers are 29 and 35.
This is the perfect day to surround yourself with friends and have some fun. Maybe you fancy inviting some of them round to your place or perhaps you're itching to get out of the house and visit a favourite pub or restaurant. Don't worry if you're going to a big gathering where you barely know a soul because you'll soon be the life of the party. Beneficial colours are smoky grey and bright pink. Lucky numbers are 25 and 2.
You show a different side of your personality today, especially to people who are very close to you. For instance, you might reveal how passionate you can be in the right circumstances, or you could start talking about something that is usually off-limits for you. Alternatively, it will be your partner who displays a new side of themselves, much to your surprise and interest. Expressive colours are gold and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 19 and 61.
It's a good idea to guard your tongue today to stop yourself blurting out the wrong thing in the heat of the moment. For instance, you might accidentally reveal something that was supposed to be kept a secret, or you could make a promise that you mean at the time but which you soon realize you can't keep. Fortunate colours are turquoise and ochre. Lucky numbers are 3 and 16.
