Planning ahead is wise, and setting goals is great. However, for you as a fire sign, what is even better is acting spontaneously. When you do that, you may need to alter those goals, but what you’ll be doing is taking advantage of the moment.
Problems are an invitation to pause and plot a more creative approach to plans
As a Leo, somebody ruled by the Sun, and a fire sign, you may feel a burden to inspire. This is probably something you’ve felt your entire life, but weren’t aware of until firstly, you were grown up, and secondly, you were aware that not everybody else particularly cared if they inspired those around them.
And then, as you’ve learned more, you have realized that inspiration isn’t about outer achievement alone, although you are very happy to encourage others to do what they want and to achieve a lot. But it is also about a deep link to an inner power. This is something that comes naturally to you as a Leo and somebody ruled by the Sun, but one that you’re only getting to know yourself as the years pass. And as you become more familiar with it, you are in a better position to share it with others.
At one point, you thought it was just about being a little bit different, but now, as you live out the days of your life, you realize that, while achieving what you have in mind is important and very gratifying, achieving what is possible for your inner self—that magical being that is who you are—is even more important.
And those achievements will grow each day and add to the joy in your life, when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night.
There are all sorts of ways of relating to those around you—talking about things you have done and will be doing—but for you, as a Leo, and someone who carries joy within you, sharing that joy is the most important thing. You can’t really plan it, but when you are able to do it, there’s nothing better.
Often, when certain individuals are encouraging those around them to take care of themselves, to eat well and to work out, they will encourage good habits. While that is appealing to you as a fire sign, it can also be incredibly dull. The best possible approach for you is to be spontaneous—joyously spontaneous.
Planning ahead is wise, and setting goals is great. However, for you as a fire sign, what is even better is acting spontaneously. When you do that, you may need to alter those goals, but what you’ll be doing is taking advantage of the moment.
You are on the verge of upsetting somebody—and the problem is, you were worried about their seemingly underhand behavior. Once, you trusted them, but now you’re not so sure, and this is the problem. Watch them too closely and they will feel guilty, which will only make things worse.
Leo: JULY 22 – AUGUST 21
Ruler: The Sun
Symbol: The Lion
Element: Fire
Flower: Marigold
Whatever you’re doing, you Leos have style. Being ruled by the Sun, your magnetism comes naturally, and being fire signs, you’re usually juggling your busy calendar while charming others. However, when you’re relaxing, you’ll do it with the conviction of your symbol, the lion. Your flower is marigold; your spice, golden saffron; and your trees are the heady, scented bay and the olive. Your stone is gold topaz, or simply wearing gold.
