Leo

This year’s birthday month of yours looks intense and maybe even eventful. With Venus still retrograde in your sign what you show to others is probably something else than what you would like it to be. Maybe you are friends with the wrong people, maybe you think you are in the wrong place when action takes place somewhere else. You may be involved with people and obligations you would not like them to be part of your environment during this period and you may try to escape but you cannot find the exit. However, Mars enters your sign on August, 9 and it shouts that it is time you took action and you took on your responsibilities. The almost simultaneous exit of Jupiter from your sign on August, 12 may disappoint you because you think you will lose part of your luck or shine but in reality, this is something good because you will be able to focus on real benefits. Leave impressions aside, stop hunting the image and focus on substance. You will discover that you do not need to go after new dreams to be happy because happiness is beside you but you could not see it all this time due to the noise, the dust and the masks which are thrown off by the end of the month.
