The Sun will be in your sign until August 23 and continuing to place you in the limelight, which is where most Leos like to be.  Since the Sun rules Leo, you feel its warmth even more than everyone else and always feel a bit subdued when it's hiding behind poor weather.  Saturn is plodding along in your sign as well at the lively rate of a degree every ten days or so.  Saturn is all about authority, responsibility and delays and if you're born between August 3 - 11 you'll probably encounter something this month that will remind you that life is not all fun and games.  In addition, things are going to be very busy which will leave you less than enchanted with all your obligations and in much need of a break.  You're likely to be a bit more defensive than usual, so watch that Leo temper, especially since Jupiter will be giving all this an additional punch or two. 

If you were born between July 26 - August 6th, Jupiter will be squaring your Sun this month.  Jupiter is generally a benefic planet, but Saturn is in the mix, also, which is a bit less friendly.   Expect a conflict of some sort between your responsibilities and your homelife.  Pluto will be trining your Sun this month if you were born between August 17-21.  The Plutonian influence is quite dramatic when mixed with Leo fire.  Your growl is likely to be an octave or so lower and that King (or Queen) of beasts attitude likely to be a tad more regal with this infusion of power.  You'll wear it well, but don't be surprised if others seem to be backing away, very, very slowly.

Neptune is retrograde in your natural 7th House of relationships, which could trigger some reflection on what an ideal relationship looks like and whether the one(s) you're involved with are in the ballpark.  Delusions are possible, also, and Neptune is rarely conducive to logical thought.  As a Fire sign, you are more driven by emotion than logic, anyway, so be extra cautious that your leonine pride isn't expecting much more than reasonable.  This inclination will be strongest for those born between August 6-11, so if that's you, don't take yourself too seriously this month.

Mercury will be transiting your sign from August 11-27, stimulating your conversations and helping you communicate quite effectively.  Venus will be passing through from the 13th until past the end of the month.  This will make you even more attractive than usual and throw a little extra charm your way as well.  This, of course, could result in a new friend or love interest coming into your life or the revitalization of an old one.  The Full Moon is in your polar sign, Aquarius, on the 9th which will throw a bit more attention your way, particularly if you were born August 5-9, and further highlight those conflicts between dreams and reality, particularly as they relate to relationships.  The New Moon on the 23rd occurs as the Sun slips into Virgo and could highlight your possessions in some way.  All in all, it's a busy month with lots of planetary action so enjoy your birthday and take advantage of those enhanced communication skills and extra charm to get you one step closer to where you're really like to be.
