The decan portrait

Generosity is your love language, and you hand it out like it costs nothing. Jupiter widens everything Leo does—your stage gets bigger, your circle gets wider, your stories get taller in the best way. You're the friend who over-tips, over-invites, over-believes in people's potential, sometimes past the point they've earned it. That optimism is a gift, but it can leave you exposed when reality doesn't match the scale of your faith. Give your enthusiasm a little more evidence before you bet on it. Keep the big heart; just build in a pause between the invitation and the investment. You'll still be the one people remember.

Leo

Walk into a room with a Leo and watch how the temperature changes—people sit up, laugh a little louder, feel a little more like themselves. That's the Sun at work, Leo's ruling planet, turning presence into a kind of hospitality. Fire and fixed modality mean you don't flicker; you hold a steady blaze, loyal to the people and projects you commit to. Late summer born, between July 23 and August 22, you were built for drama in the best sense: big feelings, bold gestures, a flair for making ordinary moments feel like occasions. The catch is that all that radiance needs an audience willing to see the real you underneath the performance.
