Intuition, imagination, and pragmatism are some of the qualities associated with your birthday. As a Leo, you are usually confident, charming, and generous, though you also possess a sensitive nature.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Sagittarius, suggests that by combining inspiration and enthusiasm with hard work, you are able to take advantage of opportunities that provide you with financial protection. This also indicates that money will never be your major problem, but in order to truly profit from this celestial benefactor, you have to put a strong emphasis on values and develop a responsible attitude.
Socially oriented, friendly, and gregarious, with a concern for the well-being of others, you have many acquaintances whom you support and encourage. The more inspired among you can be great humanitarians who devote their time and effort to good causes and charitable organizations.
Although you can concentrate with determination on the job at hand, you are often creative, with many interests. The pride you take in your work can also carry the sign of the perfectionist. Be careful that this sense of duty and self-control does not make you overly concerned with economy.
From childhood you are likely to be interested in social activities and developing your leadership abilities by being at the center of things. From the age of thirteen onward, as your progressed Sun moves into Virgo for a thirty-year period, you gradually become more conscientious and discriminating and react more efficiently to your working environment. At the age of forty-three you reach a turning point as your progressed Sun enters Libra. This brings a strong emphasis on your social relationships and partnerships. Your creative abilities are enhanced, and you may be drawn to develop your musical, artistic, or literary interests. When you are age seventy-three, your progressed Sun moves into Scorpio, highlighting issues concerning deep emotional change and transformation.

The combination of their capacity for keenly inci- sive thought and strong orientation toward their fellow beings endows those born on this day with a fierce desire to help others to identify and then follow an optimum course through life. Blessed with power- fully perceptive skills, as well as the ability to marshal the information that they amass into a structured and constructive strategy for achieving progress, they have an apparently effortless talent both for analysis and for transforming the results of their researches into clear and direct plans of action. Those around them solicit their carefully considered advice, especially since they have a gift for communicating their genuine concern for others in an optimistic, kindly and encouraging manner. Natural leaders, these individuals are there- fore well suited to professions in which they can devote themselves to guiding and benefiting others; careers as teachers, counselors or human resources specialists— are particularly well starred.
The personal relationships of those born on this day are similarly characterized by their profoundly protec- tive attitude to those closest to them—especially their children, if they are parents. Desiring their emotional happiness as well as their material well-being, these individuals’ typical approach (and one that is even more pronounced if they are women) is to gently steer their loved ones into what they perceive as being the best direction. Although this benevolent exertion of control is entirely unselfish, they should anticipate potential rebellion on the part of the subjects of their concern, who may resent such attempts to direct their actions.
