Leo, July 24 to August 23:

Leos, as the sign of the lion suggests, are confident and ambitious people but can be domineering, melodramatic and stubborn. They love anything new or extraordinary and hate dull or regular routines. Leos can be very sensitive, but they keep it well hidden, and, as the lion is a proud animal, so are the people born under this sign . . . which can make them very self centered, loving a lot of praise and flattery. Health and career could suffer this month so care should be taken. Also, it will be a frustrating month as someone very close to you will prove to be difficult, no matter what you do. On the positive side, luck will be with you in business and finance. You may start a new project, but watch out for the pitfalls and, if you have to sign any contracts, always read the small print. Famous Leos include; Mick Jagger, Jacqueline Kennedy, Benito Mussolini, Yves St. Laurent, Sir Ian Fleming, Dustin Hoffman, Cecil B. De Mille, Alfred Hitchcock, Robert De Niro and Bill Clinton.
