Just as the sun illuminates the earth, so too does an actualized Leo burn bright as an example of what can be achieved when you live with the attitude that you are deserving.
At their highest expression, Leos' courage and confidence lead by example and give everyone else permission to shine without apology.
'Leos exude vitality, passion, humor, ambition, love, and confidence. They naturally think pretty highly of themselves, too, so they will be expecting high praise, high honors, and high times come their birthday season,' said Ward.
She notes that while lions can be demanding, they give as good as they get. 'Be good to them and they'll be more than good to you. Leo is protective and powerful, especially for those they love.'
People of the mane and the claw, read on to learn more about what the upcoming year holds in store for your sign.

'In this life, you are so wealthy in all the ways that really matter. You have great character, powers of attraction, vitality, intuition, imagination, and natural charm,' said Ward.
She advises lions to stop looking beyond when so much richness lives within.
'You already have everything you need; now you must learn to use and enjoy it. Start back at the beginning, draw closest to home, look in the mirror. Be grateful you are YOU.'
What is your immediate step on your actual birthday?
Ace of coins
Ward advises the lion pride to invest in themselves on their birthday, an ROI they can build upon and maintain in the years to come.
'The ace of coins is an invitation to a better you, a 2.0 version, and it asks you to consider the areas of health and wellbeing, career, home life/location, and wealth. Select an area, set a goal and create a plan. These are the fundamentals of every life. Get these right and you're ahead of the curve,' Ward said.

Who are you becoming in the year ahead?
Nine of wands
The nine of wands indicates that you are more capable than ever of facing challenges, overcoming obstacles and interfacing with adversaries.
'You feel much more like taking on the battle this year, and that's probably because you've realized the scale and strength of your full force. You are so, so strong. Don't let anyone or anything get in your way,' explained Ward.
What is your mission in the year ahead?
The empress
The Empress is a summons to pursue love with a brave heart.
'Whatever stage of the game you're in, this year will bring you closer to your vision of love. If you're committed, she's a symbol of fertility; perhaps it's time to start or expand your family. If you're unhappy in your relationship, pour as much love and kindness into your dynamic as you can, and then review in October, or again in May,' said Ward.
Ward reminds all big-hearted big cats, 'You desire and deserve the best love life, and this is your gift in the year ahead.'

Daily Horoscope for August 18, 2025
General Daily Insight for August 18, 2025 Our feelings may need to have a say today, but they shouldn't be the only voices we consider. As insightful Mercury sextiles decisive Mars at 1:33 am EDT, we'll probably want to take action instead of talking in circles indefinitely. This might step on some toes. As the emotional Moon moves into sensitive Cancer and pushes at unsympathetic Saturn, we could feel the pain! We'll have to be careful to separate discomfort that should pass from problems that genuinely must be addressed. Aries March 21 – April 19 Feeling isolated is presently possible. There's a chance that your own insecurities are preventing you from connecting with others. Taking the initiative to express yourself could go better than you think as articulate Mercury in your individualistic 5th house aligns with intrepid Mars in your relationship sector. Keep in mind that an audience member who pushes back against some of the things you say isn't necessarily out to get you. A little give and take may simply be part of a normal interaction! Taurus April 20 – May 20 Attempting to carry on a conversation could currently be frustrating because there's a key piece of information you can't or don't want to divulge. Maybe you're better off not putting yourself in that position. If you avoid other people and stick to your own space, you have the potential to get a lot done while busy Mercury in your domestic sector supports energetic Mars in your productivity zone. No matter what you're dealing with, building a strong personal foundation should boost your chances of success! Gemini May 21 – June 20 Any current financial insecurities could be amped up. In particular, gazing enviously at peers who seemingly have more may set you off. Of course, you can't control the circumstances of others. On the other hand, as verbal Mercury in your communication sector encourages bold Mars in your 5th House of Self-Expression, you do have the power to choose what you share. Focus on any positive things going on in your life, and your audience will probably be happy enough to turn their attention there. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Clashing with an authority figure is a present risk. Whether this person is actively in your life or merely an internalized voice in your head, you may feel like they're judging you harshly. As clever Mercury in your resource zone collaborates with determined Mars in your 4th House of Foundations, doing everything possible to build up whatever makes you personally secure would be a wise move. When you have the ability to meet your own needs, limitations imposed by others should matter less. Leo July 23 – August 22 Being too careful with your words has the potential to become a trap. You may want to make every detail absolutely perfect so that no one will have a right to get mad at you. At some point, though, you have to do the best you can and live with whatever happens next. While intelligent Mercury in your sign engages with incisive Mars in your communication realm, your audience might actually prefer a more direct approach. If the truth's on your side, that's enough! Virgo August 23 – September 22 Asking your social network for advice may now be more frustrating than helpful. Be aware of any parts of your problem that you're reluctant to be open about, especially if the abbreviated version of your story doesn't quite make sense without those details. While brilliant Mercury in your intuitive 12th house aligns with confident Mars in your self-worth sector, you might already know the answer. Whether or not it's what you wanted to hear, trusting your own judgment will be crucial! Libra September 23 – October 22 You're likely to be in the good graces of your broader social network at this time. However, it could weigh on you that a significant person isn't sharing the positive vibes. As the vital Moon in your goal-oriented 10th house clashes with gloomy Saturn in your partnership zone, sometimes you just have to pick a course of action and move forward. It's usually not fun to see someone upset, but try to remember that they may have their own lessons to learn. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 You may currently feel sorry for yourself because you have to work instead of doing something more fun. Make a point of looking beyond the present moment. As thoughtful Mercury in your ambitious 10th house checks in with motivated Mars in your 12th House of Secrets, you might actually be racking up a lot of progress toward a major goal of yours. Although it's not necessarily at a level the world can see yet, you should get there if you keep putting in effort! Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 Emotional connections could be stressful at the moment. Even if you're open to hearing out another person, you're potentially not in the right space to have a balanced exchange by sharing your deep stuff. While brainy Mercury in your studious 9th house harmonizes with passionate Mars in your community zone, you might find it easier to hang out in a big group or connect over a less charged intellectual interest. Being realistic about your mood should beat the turmoil likely to come from denying it! Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Consulting with someone else can help you decide how to move toward a recent goal of yours. Maybe the topic in question simply wasn't covered in the course of your upbringing. In that case, there's no need to come down hard on yourself for your lack of knowledge. There are probably other subjects you have learned and mastered over time. This is just one you haven't gotten to yet! Respect your teacher's expertise, but keep it a relatively equal exchange. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 An ongoing relationship of yours may run smoothly on an intellectual level. You and your companion might have bonded over your compatible opinions and interests. Unfortunately, as the intimate Moon in your 6th House of Daily Routines jabs at frustrating Saturn in your communication zone, you could find that you don't mesh so well when it comes to spending time together in the physical world. You're not required to take this personally — just accept it as information about what works and what doesn't. Pisces February 19 – March 20 The prospect of a fun impulse purchase can bring you clarity. It may be obvious to you that there's no room in your budget for the item you desire. However, your longing might remind you of what would be available if you took your work life to the next level. While crafty Mercury in your detail-oriented 6th house aligns with cocky Mars in your 8th House of Shared Resources, thinking outside the box could be key. Look for alliances that benefit everyone involved.

Pope Leo XIV celebrates Mass for local homeless people, invites them to lunch at summer villa
In his homily, Leo celebrated the 'fire of charity' that had brought them together. Advertisement 'And I encourage you not to distinguish between those who assist and those who are assisted, between those who seem to give and those who seem to receive, between those who appear poor and those who feel they have something to offer in terms of time, skills, and help,' he said. In the church, he said, everyone is poor and precious, and all share the same dignity. Leo, the former Robert Prevost, spent most of his adult life working with Advertisement The luncheon was held at the Local caterers provided a menu of lasagna, eggplant parmesan, and roast veal. For dessert, the menu called for fruit salad and sweets named for the pope, 'Dolce Leone.' Guests at Leo's table included Rosabal Leon, a Peruvian refugee who has been in Italy for a few months, along with her husband and two children. One of his other luncheon companions was an 85-year-old Roman, Gabriella Oliveiro, who lives on her own, organizers said. Leo is expected to wrap up his vacation Tuesday and return to the Vatican, but there are indications he plans to use the Castel Gandolfo retreat regularly as an escape from Rome, resuming the tradition that Pope Francis had eschewed in favor of staycations at the Vatican. Leo's older brother, John Prevost, told NBC's Chicago affiliate that the pope found the getaway relaxing and had actually hoped to read a book during his vacation — the pope likes legal thrillers — but hadn't found the time. He did, however, make use of the estate's tennis court and swimming pool, he said. Prevost, who speaks daily with the pope to compare notes on the New York Times daily Wordle puzzle, said he understood the thing Leo missed most about being pope was not being able to drive. Advertisement 'Driving to him is totally relaxing,' Prevost said, adding that when they were together, his little brother would always insist on driving himself. 'Absolutely, because otherwise then he would criticize my driving,' Prevost said, chuckling. In the interview, Prevost revealed the pope's favorite pizza — pepperoni — and candy: Peeps.

Your Horoscope This Week: August 17 To 23
We're entering the final days of Leo Season, and the stars are dimming the lights on the cosmic party. The first half of this week still carries the bold, passionate pulse of Leo's fire, encouraging us to play, shine, and express ourselves unapologetically. But by Thursday, August 22nd at 4:34 p.m. EST, the sun shifts into Virgo, reminding us that after the dance comes the cool-down, after the roar comes the reflection. Virgo Season is the zodiac's version of 'wrap it up, y'all.' Summer's not quite over — but it's time to start preparing for what's next. The Virgo New Moon arrives in the early hours of Friday, August 23rd at 2:06 a.m. EST, anchoring this transition with the energy of a reset. It's giving back-to-school, clean-slate, let's-get-our-life-together energy. If Leo was about expressive fire, Virgo is about disciplined earth — structure, systems, and sustainable healing. Some signs (especially Fire and Air signs) may resist the shift at first. But Earth and Water signs may find themselves breathing a little easier, as Virgo's grounded nature brings some much- needed rhythm after a highly stimulating Leo Season (especially with Mercury having recently shifted direct). On a collective level, Virgo Season is here to ask us: 'What's the small action you can consistently take that contributes to collective healing?' Last week's awakening Aquarius Full Moon likely exposed broken systems and illuminated long-standing imbalances. Now Virgo whispers: what's one thing you can personally commit to — one conversation, one divestment, one habit — that could ripple outward into real change? Virgo rules the power of the everyday, the activism rooted in ritual, the progress built not through sweeping revolution, but through unwavering commitment. Remember cosmic beings: we all have the power of choice, and sometimes the most important choice you can make has to do with what you choose to say no to. In the second half of the week, particularly as we approach the Virgo New Moon, we enter the dark of the moon period, a time when doubt, self-judgment, or imposter syndrome may rise. Virgo energy, when unbalanced, can turn critical — not just of others, but especially toward the self. If this happens, pause and ask: Whose voice is this? Where did I first learn to be this hard on myself? The New Moon on the 23rd is your portal to reprogram. Set intentions not for a perfect life, but for a simpler, more intentional, more nurturing one. Choose a few focused shifts you're ready to commit to — daily practices that align with who you're becoming. Like a 5-class streak that becomes 10, then 100, remember that progress multiplies when you simply begin. This week, begin crafting a life your inner child will be proud of. Aries Sun & Rising: Your fire's been flickering, Aries… but this week it steadies. The final days of Leo Season still activate your joy zone, helping you reconnect with play, pleasure, and your inner child. Mercury is no longer retrograde in that area, so misunderstandings around romance or creativity are finally clearing up. Maybe the retrograde helped you realize you were taking things too personally, or maybe it showed you where you weren't asking for enough. Either way, you're stepping into this week with more awareness and less ego. By Thursday, the sun moves into Virgo, and on Friday the Virgo New Moon sparks a refresh in your routines and rituals. This is your cosmic chance to get organized — not in a perfectionist way, but in a grounded, body-honoring way. How can you support your nervous system more consistently? It's time to romanticize the small stuff: fresh sheets, clean inboxes, meal prepping with music on. Start small. The seeds you plant now in your day-to-day life will blossom into bigger transformations over the next six months. You're finding your footing again, Taurus… one slow breath at a time. Leo Season has been stirring things up at home, and with Mercury now direct in that part of your chart, you're starting to make sense of it all. Maybe a family dynamic came to light or a truth you'd been avoiding finally surfaced. This week is about anchoring, so sit with what's been revealed and burn what needs to be released. Spend time making your space feel like a sanctuary again — even if it starts with re-organizing one shelf. When Virgo Season begins on Thursday, followed by the Virgo New Moon, your vibe softens into play, romance, and self-expression. You're being reminded that joy is a birthright, not a luxury. This is a potent time to return to a hobby you've neglected or to share your heart more vulnerably, especially if you've been holding back out of fear of rejection. Virgo energy wants quality, not quantity. So give your love, your art, and your attention to what feels real. This is your soft reawakening. Gemini Sun & Rising: You're back in your flow, Gemini… and it shows. Mercury Retrograde shook up your communication sector, so if the past few weeks felt like a glitchy group chat or a game of emotional telephone, you weren't imagining things. But now Mercury's direct, and so is your voice. The first half of the week is great for revisiting conversations that went left — or reconnecting with people you ghosted when your battery hit 2%. Take your time, but don't overthink it. You're allowed to change your mind and circle back. Once Virgo Season begins, the Virgo New Moon brings your focus to your foundations: home, family, and emotional security. This is your green light to refresh your living space or set boundaries that protect your peace. You've been operating on high- frequency vibes for a while, and now it's time to ground. Ask yourself: what do I need to feel rooted, safe, and nourished? You don't have to solve everything this week. Just plant the intention. Virgo's gift is in the details, and you're being invited to notice what matters. Cancer Sun & Rising: The fog is lifting, Cancer, especially around money and self-worth. The first half of the week still carries that Leo Season heat in your values zone, and now that Mercury's direct, you may be having some important money talks or internal realizations about your finances. What are you ready to invest in more? What are you done tolerating? You've been learning to separate your worth from your productivity. And now you're being called to trust that value is innate, even before the check clears. Once the sun and moon enter Virgo, your mental wheels start spinning. The Virgo New Moon on Friday activates your communication zone, making this a perfect week for scripting, journaling, or writing down your six-month goals. What do you really want to say — to yourself, to someone else, to the world? Virgo energy helps you get precise and intentional. This is also a great time to set new boundaries around your screen time and attention span. Protect your focus. Your mind is a sacred garden, so treat it accordingly. The sun's still in your sign until Thursday, Leo, so you better keep shining. You may feel like you're playing catch-up this week, especially if Mercury Retrograde had you doubting your worth or delaying your birthday plans. But it's not too late to indulge, treat yourself, and celebrate your solar return. Book the spa day. Throw the last-minute dinner. Say yes to pleasure and soft joy. Even if it's been a quieter (or more dramatic) season than usual, you're being reminded that you deserve softness and self- prioritization. Focus on how you want to feel internally… not just on how things look externally. Once Virgo Season begins on Thursday, followed by the New Moon in Virgo on Friday, your focus shifts from pleasure to sustainability. Your sector of income and self-worth is getting a fresh start, and so is your relationship with money. Instead of overworking or overspending, you're invited to ground yourself in simplicity: what do you truly need to feel safe, secure, and free? Mercury, the new moon's ruler, is now direct in your sign, so confidence is back online. Set small, tangible goals and let them compound over time. You're not chasing wealth; you're becoming the version of you who attracts, multiplies, and sustains it. Virgo Sun & Rising: You're almost there, Virgo… but first, it's time to cocoon. The first half of the week finds you in that liminal space: the retrograde shadow is still lingering, the moon is waning, and your birthday season is so close you can taste it. But instead of rushing the glow-up, you're being asked to slow down, rest, and reflect. You've been through a lot spiritually this year, and your energy is sacred. Spend the beginning of the week journaling, deleting, unplugging — whatever helps you cleanse your internal slate. Your rebirth begins soon. And when it does? It begins with a bang. The sun enters your sign on Thursday, and within 24 hours, the Virgo New Moon rises in your sign. This is one of the most powerful moments of your entire year. You're not just setting new intentions, you're planting seeds for an entirely new version of yourself. But because Mercury, your ruler, is still in your closure sector, you'll feel more selective about who you share your dreams with. Keep your circle tight. Envision yourself six months from now — thriving, rested, and aligned. Then start showing up for that version of you now. Libra Sun & Rising: You're over the drama, Libra, and you're not afraid to admit it. The first half of the week has you reflecting on your friendships, especially any connections that left you drained during Leo Season. With Mercury now direct in your friendship sector, you're seeing things clearly, especially your own patterns of overextending or sugarcoating your boundaries. What do you really want from your community? More joy? More depth? More space? Whatever it is, this is your moment to stop settling for vibes and start curating your circle. Once Virgo Season begins on Thursday, the mood shifts inward. The next day, the Virgo New Moon activates your healing, closure, and solitude sector, making you more introspective than usual — and that's a good thing. Venus, your ruler, is still in sensitive Cancer, reminding you that not everyone deserves full access to your heart. Spend time solo this weekend. Write. Cry. Dream. This is your prep season: your spiritual reset before your own birthday arrives in a few weeks. Plant seeds for peace, forgiveness, and softness. Let this period of quiet fuel your power. Let's be real, Scorpio… you're ready to log off. The first half of the week finds you deep in your thoughts about success, career, and your relationship with work. Mercury retrograde had you questioning everything in that department, and even though it's now direct, you're still feeling the ripple effects. Are you climbing the right ladder? Are you even on the right mountain? The pressure to constantly 'level up' is exhausting — and you're realizing that doing less may actually be your next power move. You don't need a five-year plan right now. You just need to remember why you started. Once Virgo Season begins on the 22nd, things start to shift, slowly but intentionally. The next day, the Virgo New Moon lights up your community and networking sector, making this a potent time to ask for help. This isn't about pride… it's about practicality and purpose. Mercury is now direct in your career zone, and you can finally see who's able and willing to support your growth. Whether you're launching something or simply trying to lighten your load, this is your sign to put it out there. The right collaborators are waiting, so don't suffer in silence — say what you need, and let yourself receive. Sag, the first half of the week is about remembering your 'why.' Leo Season has been activating your sector of purpose, expansion, and adventure, but it might've also overwhelmed you with options. With Mercury now direct in this part of your chart, you're finally gaining clarity about where you want to focus your energy moving forward. Whether it's a trip, a creative project, or a spiritual shift — pick the thing that excites your cells. The retrograde taught you what isn't working. Now you're free to say yes to what is. The energy shifts on Thursday as Virgo Season begins, followed by the Virgo New Moon in your career sector. It's time to get your strategy in order. Where do you want to be by the end of 2025, and what's one small step you can take this week to get there? This isn't about pushing or performing. It's about building something sustainable and soul-aligned. You have the fire, but now you need the framework. Let this Virgo lunation remind you: dreams don't work unless you do. But when you do? They fly. Capricorn Sun & Rising: You're unlearning survival mode, Capricorn… and it's a process. The first half of the week invites you to reflect on your emotional patterns, especially when it comes to intimacy, vulnerability, and trust. Leo Season has been poking at your shadow side, and now, as Mercury is direct, you can finally process what it's been trying to teach you. What relationships make you feel safe to exhale? Where are you still clinging to control out of fear? Let yourself unravel. You don't always have to be the strong one. Once Virgo Season starts, followed by the Virgo New Moon in your sector of expansion, you're ready to shift gears. This is your fresh start in how you seek truth — through study, travel, mentorship, or spiritual practice. You're craving freedom. But not the chaotic kind, the kind that comes from being deeply rooted in your values. Set intentions this week around what you want to explore next and what fears you're ready to leave behind. A new chapter of purpose is beginning. Let curiosity be your compass. You're not asking for too much… you're asking for alignment, Aquarius. Leo Season has been spotlighting your partnerships, and the first half of the week has you reviewing what balance really looks like in your life. With Mercury now direct in your relationship zone, the fog is lifting. Some people showed their true colors during the retrograde, and some surprised you in beautiful ways. Whatever the case, you now know what you need moving forward. And you're not afraid to name it. As the sun and moon enter Virgo later this week, your attention turns inward. The Virgo New Moon activates your sector of intimacy, secrets, and transformation — meaning this is a full-body reboot. Where have you been hiding parts of yourself to keep the peace? Where have you been shrinking? This lunation invites you to strip away the performance and get real. Whether it's with your lover, your therapist, or your mirror, the truth wants to be seen. And once it is, you'll feel more whole than ever. Pisces Sun & Rising: You're not lazy, Pisces… you're just healing. The first half of the week may feel like a gentle crash from the energy of Leo Season. With Mercury now direct in your wellness zone, you're getting clarity on what routines actually support you and which ones are draining you. This isn't the time to force a 6 a.m. workout if you've been running on empty. It's about softness, balance, and daily practices that feel like care, not punishment. Let rest be your ritual. The Virgo New Moon on Friday brings a relationship reset. With both the sun and moon in your partnership sector, you're being invited to get intentional about how you show up in love, and how you allow yourself to be loved in return. Virgo energy wants you to get real: are your standards supporting your growth, or are they hiding your fear of intimacy? This is a powerful time to write a love letter, even if it's to yourself. Start the new cycle with honesty. Your heart deserves nothing less.
