♌ Leo Daily Horoscope for August 3, 2025
Career
Your bold ideas are on fire, but slow your roll when pitching them. Collaborators may need a little more convincing. Give them time—they'll come around if you stay confident, not arrogant.
Love
You're glowing—and they're noticing. Whether you're single or taken, your energy is irresistible today. Just make sure it's not all about you. Listening can be just as attractive as talking (really).
Mental Health
Your head's in the clouds with big dreams. That's great—but ground them with a little reflection. Journal. Meditate. Or call that wise friend who always brings you back to earth.
Body
You've got energy to burn, but don't overdo it. Channel your fire into a creative workout or dance session. Emotionally, things feel intense—journaling or talking things out with someone you trust can help you stay grounded.
Pro tip:
Flare is fun, but humility keeps the crowd cheering. Let your brilliance speak without needing the spotlight 24/7.

House 436 in Al Shindagha Historical Neighbourhood will come alive with a month-long creative programme running from 18 August to 26 September 2025.

Participants will explore every stage of the craft, moving from concept development and storyboarding through filming, editing, and finally strategies for distribution and festival submission. Practical workshops in character design, visual arts, and audio recording lead up to a public screening of their projects at the Sikka Art & Design Festival. Dubai Culture invites aspiring storytellers to apply by submitting short written responses explaining their motivation and interest in animation. Applications must be submitted via this link no later than 8 August.

Read: Choose the green screen (backdrop) of your dreams, script, and direct your best life. You can make amendments as you go, improvise on the fly, you've got one life, Leo season says go full out, main character! What iconic statement are you ready to make? What theme song best describes your vibe right now? Or where you're headed? Add them to your playlist; this is your soundtrack. Who is your supporting cast? Remember to share support roles for other people's main character, unless they've been hogging the spotlight, of course. Midweek, mighty Mars (action and energy) swans into lovely Libra, the sign of cooperation, so teamwork makes the dream work. It's Leo season, get your close-up! Balance your personal pizzazz with the group, consider your audience, and your part in the larger ensemble cast to maintain perspective. With the intensity of an opening night, the full moon is building to peak on Saturday. In super social Aquarius, it's perfect for a collective gathering of friends or attending a special interest event. There's a kooky side to this one, so viva la difference! Find your weekly horoscope for your zodiac sign below. We recommend reading the horoscopes for your rising sign. Aries Weekly Horoscope There are three planets in your sign, all of which are retrograde, so if things seem to be going backward before they go forward, stalled, or could do with reassessment, it's worth taking the time. A full moon activating your social sphere is a great reason to let your hair down and enjoy time with friends. It's also the perfect week to tap into collective resources and the hive mind. Peaking on Saturday, why not request it lights up the path, a significant person, or whatever it is you're looking for, even if you're loose on detail. Anytime Mars changes signs is significant since it's your 'ruling' planet. This week, it shifts into your opposite sign of Libra. Since this planet represents action and energy, it prefers to muscle up in Aries; in Libra, it's all about the art of diplomacy and negotiation, which could prove frustrating, or take it as a challenge. Apply patience to will and charm to your never-say-die attitude, and you'll meet your objective, Aries; it may just take a little more talk time than usual. Build your case and make it irresistible. Taurus Weekly Horoscope As Mars, the planet of energy and action, heads up the sign of harmony-loving Libra, charm gets us where we need to be, and that's alright by you. You prefer walk to talk, so it could be up to you to catch the energy of a conversation or chat thread and ground it down to an actionable. In your sphere of work and routine, this could be a fine time to team up to get the job done. Or say yes to a gym/yoga/walk buddy. The lunar cycle builds over the week, culminating in a full moon on Saturday, activating your career and public sector. That supports building to a soft launch, presentation, or spotlighting an opportunity. You're naturally quite visible over this one and can more easily touch hearts as others feel emotionally connected to you as you are to your audience or professional arena. A challenge to your sign is to remain detached and objective around your ideals. This one calls you to consider the group or larger picture rather than specifically 'what's in it for me'. With a social flavour, it's perfect for making a unique yet meaningful contact, say hi, and open up the conversation. Gemini Weekly Horoscope With Mars, the planet of action and seizing the moment, dashing into your sphere of leisure, creative self-expression, and romantic gestures, set up that double date, poolside rendezvous, or pen your fantasy set to your fave genre. Through September 22, the pen is mightier than the sword, so talk your way in and out of everything. Since Mercury is still retrograde, this could be the time to assess the best approach; take your time. Weigh it up before making a move or any major decisions. Saturday's full moon in your sphere of travel, higher education, media, and philosophy highlights big ideas, conversations, and far-flung tribe that share your vibe. Plan for a social weekend and mix foreign culture with intelligentsia, plan a trip, or research that potential study pathway. There's a lot of airy spaciousness and fast-paced connections available, so reach out to that person or people you want to connect with. You never know, they may say yes! Keep it long-form and meaningful rather than sticking to banter for the win. Cancer Weekly Horoscope Planet of action and energy, Mars, activates your domestic sphere through September 22, making it the perfect time for anything involving energy around the home. Painting and decorating? Perfect. Use your energy to polish, update, or create a new aesthetic. Perhaps it's not your home, it's a project; partner up and create something of beauty. A full moon in your sphere of mystery, intimacy, and benefits through others would make it the perfect time to indulge in sci-fi mystery. Aliens, activism, and a friend's very large TV? Get the popcorn ready and get comfy. Whatever it is, this full lunar light illuminates where you join forces with others, so see how you could indeed benefit from others assisting you, pooling resources, or finding your place in the group. There's enough detachment to approach matters of the heart with someone close to you, so share both ways. Leo Weekly Horoscope As we cruise through your birthday month, mighty Mars rolls into the cooperative sign Libra, activating your sphere of local connections and environment. Get out and about one-on-one or with a small cultivated posse to catch up and explore local events. A Glamorous brunch or lunch? Absolutely!! This is your ongoing celebration of all things leonine, joyous, and creative. Stay on the positive side of drama and remember to laugh it off where needed; boss/queen up as the occasion demands. We must all wear many hats, er, crowns these days! Getting things done is better with two right now, so enlist assistance and remember to offer yours to a community endeavour, sibling, or neighbour in need. Saturday's full moon highlights your relationship zone, get thee to a party, event, or perhaps a reading and book launch since there's an intellectual side to this one. Organise your plus one or go with a couple of friends and meet someone interesting there! Virgo Weekly Horoscope As Mars, the planet of action and energy, swings out of your sign and into the next, it activates your sphere of income, resources, and values. Take a balanced approach to this area and consider how teaming up could benefit your bottom line. If you have values around beauty, cooperation, and fairness, how do you go about earning or building your financial resources or possessions in alignment with them? A full moon on Saturday suggests the week leading up is building in tension, excitement, and conversation, especially around work, and fuelling your interest in health and wellness. Be sure to balance this peak of energy with time alone to process, integrate, and come back to your centre. With a focus on group activity as well as the needs of the collective, whether that's the people in your immediate work environment or extended, note who you feel connected to. Perhaps there's just the right amount of space and closeness, conversation and ideas that make you feel you belong, yet maintain your essential independence. A team bonding catch-up with your favourites would be beneficial and give you food for thought this week. Libra Weekly Horoscope Mighty Mars swings into your sign on Wednesday, amping up your wattage and fuelling your love of teaming up. It also suggests getting in the driver's seat if you aren't already! Put your foot on the gas re a project, or something that could benefit from energy, drive, and will power through September 22. Teamwork makes the dream work much of the time; however, don't just team up for the sake of it, be sure it's a great, mutually amplifying fit, and the boundaries or extent of where it's beneficial. Mars is a lusty planet, so if you're feeling more come hither than usual, now you know why! Again, check your sights and be sure it's really what you want in the way you want it. Direct your dream scenario if not! A full moon activates your sphere of romance, leisure, and self-expression on Saturday, so note themes, attractions, and interests jockeying for your attention. Balance your friendships and larger social connections with your personal interests and time off. People, your weekend with conversationalists over exhibitionists. Scorpio Weekly Horoscope As the planet representing how and where we use our energy, drive, and self-assertion, activates your sphere of liminal space, rest, and spirituality, it's time to gear down every now and then. Charge your batteries, turn your energy in, and plug into that cosmic space within sleep or zoning out through art, music, or film. This is also a wonderful time for dating and enjoying a special connection with a partner or someone close and convivial. If you share a spiritual or artistic interest, then even better. On Saturday, a full moon lights up your domestic sphere, so note what it highlights! Host a party, invite your wackiest friends, and don't worry too much if it's all a bit random. Consider creating a theme to bring everyone together, like crafting, a card, or word game. If you collectively create something even better. Balance your domestic life with what and who you need to be in your career. If you've been burning the candle, this is your sign to nest into your base in a way that supports you to get out there and shine your brightest. Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope This weekend a second full moon in your sign brings things to a peak as well as a conclusion. Make use of the heightened energy by getting social, taking care of a responsibility, or formalizing a commitment. Note your inner terrain since full moons are about our emotional life. How are you feeling? What are you drawn to? Are your senses of self and identity aligned with what makes you feel secure, nurtured, and loved? And are you meeting those needs yourself (i.e., self-care, self-love, and compassion)? This is a good time to assess what that means for you and set the bar for how others treat you. The sun (in dramatic Leo) activates your sphere of intimacy and mystery from Monday. Let's not take ourselves too seriously; invite a sense of playfulness into the bedroom and consider role play, characters, and costumes. Could be fun—experiment! Capricorn Weekly Horoscope La luna rolls through your sign Tuesday to Thursday, so attend to business while you're feeling it. Duty may call, as it sooften does, so it's best to get things in order before the weekend's full moon draws you out and into social mode. Activating your sphere of resources and values, there could be a purchase of tech, knowledge, or is that you making time to find an ethical investment strategy. The power of the group can be a force, so note what is illuminated in your investigations or conversations. Balance your personal finances and belongings with your shared resources or income. Mars brings will and drive to your career sector from midweek, so make like a diplomat where appropriate in your run for empire, your public image will benefit. Cooperative leadership pushes your needle forward while mutually benefiting others; look for where alliances help fuel your ambition. Aquarius Weekly Horoscope Rise and shine, there's a full moon in your sign this Saturday, Aquarius! Full tilt luna light tends to correlate with a heightened energy, active mind, and in this case, sociability. Since you're all about the group, why not get ahead of the curve and plan an event or attend one? If a large special interest event is on, head in and mingle if it's up your alley, you're curious, or you're just feeling open to discovery and exploration. If you want to lie low, work through and develop an idea, or binge a social experiment-based series. Note what major theme or themes are headlining for you this week. And what feelings bubble up since the moon is all about it! Note where your intellect may intercept your heart, so instead of feeling with your body, you intellectualise with your mind. Basically, is it happening below or above your neck? Balance your outlook and direction with what you need in a relationship, your partner, or best one-to-one's. Perhaps you're bringing the cool, calm, and disarming approach while not so subtly drawn to charismatic types. See Lena Dunham's latest series, 'Too Much', for inspo! Pisces Weekly Horoscope If you love movies like most born under the sign of the fantasy-loving fishes, catch Freakier Friday at the cinema and immerse yourself in its topsy-turvy fun drama. If it's off beat, it's on brand for this Saturday's full moon. This lunation highlights your sphere of liminal space and spirituality vs work, routine, reality, and grounding into the everyday. Spend some time solo in contemplation, get extra rest, and keep up habits that fuel your trajectory throughout the day; it's all about balance. Write in a dream journal throughout the week (mornings) and note what emotional cues, hooks, or hunches come up as the sky brightens with the lunar cycle. From midweek, Mars activates your sphere of intimacy and other people's resources. Keep your actions private and consider teaming up if not steaming up some windows. This one is on the romantic side if you want it to be. For now, two is better than one if you want something done. Use your energy to balance, decorate, create beauty and harmony as well as negotiate peacefully through Sept 22.

'Built for the players': What UAE gamers think about EA FC 26
In the ever-passionate world of football gaming, anticipation for EA SPORTS FC 26 is reaching fever pitch — and that excitement is palpable among the UAE's growing community of players, creators, and pros. Following a mixed reception to last year's FC 25, many see this year's release as a potential turning point or a final straw. And if EA's messaging is anything to go by, they've been listening. From overhauled gameplay mechanics to the introduction of competitive and authentic modes, FC 26 (formerly FIFA) aims to reset the tone and rebuild trust with the community that made it a global phenomenon. In the Emirates, where content creation and esports are thriving, some of the region's most prominent voices are already sharing their thoughts. 'Built by the community, for the community' Ahmad Alkadri, better known as 88K, is a regional creator with a sharp focus on FC's Ultimate Team mode and gameplay breakdowns. For him, FC 26 signals a welcome shift in tone and substance. 'One of the things I appreciate most is EA's shift in direction this year,' says 88K. 'Their new concept, 'from the player to the player,' shows they're finally listening to the community. The trailer clearly reflects that.' Watch the trailer below: He highlights deeper technical improvements like smarter AI, better dribbling responsiveness, and smarter goalkeeper behavior. But it's the split between Competitive and Authentic presets that stands out. 'That gives players more control depending on how they play, whether they're online grinders or Career Mode purists. It feels like they've taken real feedback seriously and built the game around what the players actually want.' 'Fun, not frustration' Not everyone is in it for the wins. For UAE-based content creator Bibi Zumot, FIFA has always been more about comfort than competition. And in FC 26, he sees a smoother, more player-friendly experience. 'The gameplay feels more fluid… especially the dribbling and passing. It doesn't feel as clunky or frustrating as previous years,' he says. 'I've been playing since 2012, and this is the first time in a while it looks like a true upgrade.' For Saqr_fut, an Emirati content creator, tournament organizer, and M7 Esports partner, FC 26 is under a massive spotlight — and not just because of the gameplay trailer. 'After FC 25, the whole community had complaints — bugs, gameplay issues, broken mechanics. EA even showed those complaints in the teaser for FC 26, which is rare,' says Saqr. But acknowledging criticism is only the first step. Expectations are high and patience is thin. 'People are saying it looks faster, better, more responsive. Fans are excited. But if the problems continue, this could be the last chance. A lot of players might leave the game for good.' Sultan Khalifa, a lifelong fan of the series, says the upcoming release represents more than just a technical upgrade. 'Every year we hope for improvements, but FC 26 just feels… different. The presentation, the atmosphere — it feels more alive,' he says. Sultan is particularly drawn to Career Mode, where EA has introduced Manager Live, a dynamic hub with rotating challenges inspired by real-world football. But for him, the soul of the game lies in the social moments it creates. 'It's always been about playing with siblings and friends, the late-night matches, the banter. That's what makes this game special.' And then, there's also the return of Brazil football team which has been absent in previous editions due to licensing issues. 'I might not play with them personally, but it's huge. Brazil is football. Their history, their style, their energy — having them back just makes FC 26 feel more complete.' With esports viewership on the rise in the UAE and regional tournaments gaining traction, EA SPORTS FC 26 launches into a highly engaged, increasingly vocal market. For creators like 88K and Saqr, it's about pushing EA to be better. And this time, it seems like EA is actually listening. 'We are players too,' said John Shepherd, EA SPORTS FC VP & GM, in the official announcement. 'This year brings an overhauled gameplay experience… and a Career Mode that comes alive through evolving challenges.' EA FC 26 is set to release worldwide on September 26, 2025, across PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC (EA App/Steam), Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Amazon Luna. The early access through the Ultimate Edition begins on September 19, 2025.
