August 20
The kingly nature of the Lion comes through today's Leo very strongly. You're not arrogant, but your poise and demeanor speak volumes. When you want to, you can lead with confidence and competence. Your voice and bearing pack a wallop, but inside you're really a gentle soul and even a little insecure. That actually makes a good balance and keeps the normally arrogant Leo demeanor from taking over (not to mention your birth number of 1 that wants to be noticed!).
The influence of number 1 expresses itself in today's personology by giving you strong ideals that act as an anchor to all of life's storms. You don't compromise on important things, and challenges to your moral structure get met with a righteously indignant roar. On the other hand, you love people, and are admired by many. There's no question you could easily administer a group effectively, gaining loyalty through your direct, no-nonsense truthfulness and honest efforts.
That approach is exactly the same in relationships. Today's Leo wants very much to be a good wife or husband, and a good friend. Sometimes you try a little too hard, but those efforts are so sincere that no one seems to mind.
Gift idea: a bright birthstone ring.
