Dates and signs on this page follow the tropical zodiac used by sun-sign horoscopes. The Sanskrit name is the Vedic sign of the same name, which is calculated against the stars instead and can differ for any given birthday.
Character
Leo is a fixed fire sign and the only one ruled by the Sun itself, and it carries itself accordingly: warm, generous, proud and happiest when it can shine. Leos are natural hosts and performers, with a taste for drama, loyalty to those they love and a need to feel appreciated. Behind the confident front there is often a sensitive heart that wants sincere praise more than flattery.
Love and relationships
In love Leo is romantic, playful and big-hearted. It enjoys grand gestures and expects its partner to enjoy them too, and it gives as much admiration as it hopes to receive. Pride is the sign's weak point: an argument can stall because neither side will be first to apologise. A partner who is both affectionate and honest gets the best of Leo.
Work and money
Leo does well in leadership, performance, teaching, entertainment, management and anything that puts creativity in front of an audience. It leads by example and inspires teams, but may struggle with tasks that offer no recognition. Money is usually spent as freely as it is earned, so planning for quieter times is wise.

Watch-points

Compatible signs
Sagittarius, Aries, Libra and Gemini are the traditional matches for Leo: the other fire signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Fellow fire signs enjoy Leo's energy, and air signs give it an appreciative audience. Other fixed signs share its determination but can collide over control.

- House 4 for you
- Nakshatra
- Swati, pada 1
- Tithi
- Krishna Chaturdashi

- Mercury, Venus
House numbers count from your sign, which is house 1.
The Moon in Scorpio settles in your fourth house of home and family, drawing your attention to comfort, roots and the people you share a roof with. On Krishna Chaturdashi, the Moon stands in Swati, an independent, breezy star linked with flexibility and trade; keep your options open and adapt as things change. The Moon sits with Venus in your third house of communication, siblings and short trips, so feelings and events linked with love, money, and relationships land with extra weight today. Mercury is retrograde in your fourth house of home, family and roots, so double-check messages, plans and paperwork connected with it before committing.

Work and home life may overlap today; setting a clear boundary protects your focus.

House numbers count from your sign, which is house 1.
Today the Moon passes through your third house, in Libra, and ideas arrive faster than you can act on them; write them down and pick one. The day's tithi is Krishna Trayodashi and the Moon is in Chitra, a bright, artistic star linked with design and craftsmanship: pay attention to presentation and the finishing touches. A supportive sextile between the Moon and Mars, which is in your first house of self, body and first impressions, opens a quiet window for progress with drive, conflict, and energy; act on it instead of waiting. Mercury is retrograde in your fourth house of home, family and roots, so double-check messages, plans and paperwork connected with it before committing.
Career
A quick idea shared with a colleague moves a stalled task along today, so keep communication open and brief.
Love Life
Light, frequent contact suits love today: a message at the right moment, a short walk together, easy conversation.

Leo
