The Lion Takes Center Stage

As the Sun moves around the zodiac, it spends about one month in each sign. On July 22, it moved from the deeply feeling sign of Cancer the Crab and into the limelight-loving sign of Leo the Lion! Whatever your sign, you'll definitely feel the influence as Leo adds sizzle to the summer and kicks the mood up a couple notches ...

The Sun is in Leo until August 22, and you couldn't ask for a more exciting sign to see us through the hottest month of summer! That's because Leo's element is Fire, and like fellow Fire signs Aries and Sagittarius, Leo is all about living in the moment! This Fire sign's ability to go from the gut can make it seem impulsive, but actually, Leo is incredibly intuitive.

To Leo, all the world's a stage -- and Leo would always like to be in the spotlight! For this reason, the Lion can come across as image-conscious, but make no mistake: regal Leo is no narcissist. Like its symbol, Leo is proud and noble, has natural leadership skills and a deep loyalty to those it cares about.

Even for those of us who aren't Leos, the mood for the next month will still be much more social. Leo is the sign of celebration, encouraging us to plan summer festivities, poolside parties and spontaneous nights out. And as you get ready to hit the town, you might just find that the notoriously glam Leo influence has a lot to say about your wardrobe decisions: you may not have opted for shiny fabrics, metallics or "bling" in the past, but you'll suddenly find yourself drawn to more flamboyant fashion choices!

Leo is also a very theatrical sign, so keep the drama in check with friends, family and life in general. At the same time, enjoy the fast pace and high style of the next four weeks!
