Leo, your birthday is around the corner—and as usual, you’re ready to step into the spotlight! Mars, the planet of action, has you focused on your career goals this month. If you’ve been considering applying for a promotion, asking for a raise, or even starting up your own company, consider this the universe’s signal that it’s go time.

Be mindful as you navigate work conversations, because your enthusiasm (boosted by good ole’ Mars) can sometimes agitate those around you. But remember that you don’t need to stick to the status quo to succeed, and while people may question your methods, you owe it to yourself to chase your dreams. The sun enters your sign on the 22nd, officially marking your birth month and Leo season. Venus, the planet of love, and Mercury, the planet of communication, also land in your sign this month, really making it your time to shine with the energy of all of the planets behind you!
