Leo is generous, passionate, enthusiastic, and cheerful. Those born in the sign of the lion like to be the center of attention. They are proud and make a loyal friend.
Leo likes to have fun. Leos have a flair for drama, but can get lost in the melodrama. They can stand with pride, or have an excessively prideful ego. Surprisingly, though, Leos are senstive and their feelings can be easily hurt.
As the tribal leader, father, or coach, Leos make sure that those in their charge have their needs met. They make wonderful organizers and work with passion.
Leo's spiritual task is to infuse people with the enthusiasm that radiates from the great central Sun. The color and metal gold are associated with the bright Leo sunshine.
Leo rules games, gambling, romantic affairs, and theaters. In the body, Leo rules the heart, chest, and spine. Watch out for sunstroke, and heartburn!

The Fifth House, Pleasure
The Fifth House, governed by Leo, represents children, romance, creativity, vacations, and pleasure. It includes the love you instinctively show the world. With the fifth house, it is time to have fun.
The zodiac sign on the fifth house cusp can give you hints about the way you like to have fun:
A practical sign like Capricorn may turn a fun hobby into a business. It may also indicate a person who does not have children, or holds off on children until they are a bit older in life. Capricorn fifth house people may not be big gamblers, instead preferring conservative risks.
As another example, Cancer on the fifth house cusp may take great enjoyment in playing with children. They also may have difficulty letting go when it is time to end a relationship.
A strong 5th house represents a person who loves to play and doesn't let the little things get them down. A challenged 5th house may indicate self-indulgence and "loose" behavior.
This house is one of the places in the astrology chart that calls you to take a risk on yourself. Whether it is showing the world your creative talents, opening your heart to the possibility of romance, or hitting the blackjack tables in Las Vegas, it's up to you to to open to your passionate nature.
The Sun
The
Sun is the largest body in our Solar System and therefore defines the
dominant traits of your personality according to the zodiac sign it
falls in. Newspaper horoscopes focus on the Sun sign, but it is only
one of ten planets that influence your astrology chart. The sun and
moon are called planets in order to make conversations easier.
The Sun is your basic life force, vigor, and vitality. It defines why
you get out of bed in the morning. The Sun drives you to express your
heart’s desire in this life.

Top Five Astro-Events for August
By WolfStar
1. Neptune conjoins the U.S. Moon on August 2nd, bringing the nation to the height of the jobless recovery paradox. Watch for stock markets to make a rounded top around this time, as investors question the validity of a rapid recovery. Illusion, fraud and deception may be behind many news stories even as new hope and creative solutions also arise.
2. Barack Obama's Solar Return on August 4th features Saturn right on the Midheaven, identifying him as the leading authority in Washington, the political – and now financial – center of the universe. However, he faces angry critics (Mars in 7th) and ideological opposition (Uranus in 4th). Mercury square the Sagittarius Ascendant points to his role as the Explainer-in-Chief.
3. The Full Moon on the 5th is a Lunar Eclipse. Since Ceres squares Pluto at the same time, those with activated natal planets may experience loss of some kind. Otherwise, this alignment highlights your relationship to your social environment. Are you sacrificing creativity or individuality? Or is your independence keeping you isolated?
4. Saturn activates the U.S. Mars-Neptune square this month, likely bringing severe challenges on the military front. Watch for a diplomatic showdown with Iran around August 27 when Saturn conjoins the U.S. Neptune. This combo also represents the medical-insurance-pharmaceutical corporate triangle, so one might expect major challenges to the health care bill in the form of heavy lobbying.
5. Mars in Gemini squares Saturn on the 10th and then Uranus on the 18th, making it difficult to relax during this summer break. This Mars position fosters many debates and arguments, which may become especially heated from the 6th to 11th and again from the 15th to 19th. Mars here may cause blackouts, wildfires, snafus with communication devices, and serious traffic accidents.

The Game Changing Solar Eclipse
By WolfStar
Last week on the Charlie Rose Show, veteran reporter Bob Woodward compared Obama's tenure to Bush's first year in that Obama has so many ongoing projects, nothing really defines his presidency yet. Woodward expects some kind of 9/11 event – not necessarily a terrorist attack, but some historic development – to arrive later this year that would shape his presidency, much as 9/11 did for the Bush years.
Astrologically, Woodward's intuitive remarks are on target if one considers Solar Eclipse patterns. Traditionally, the influence of a Solar Eclipse can last anywhere from a year to three years after the eclipse itself. During this time, the degree of the eclipse and its opposite point remain sensitive to transits which can release the eclipse's dormant potential according to the nature of the activating planet.
On June 21, 2001 a Solar Eclipse took place at 0º Cancer. While that astro-event had immediate manifestations, the seemingly fated changes of that year weren't released until transiting Mars hit that point in early September. The terrorists were plotting in June, but they didn't act until September 11 when Mars was at 1º Capricorn, only two days after Mars triggered the eclipse degree.
In the same way, the current Solar Eclipse takes place at 29º Cancer, and will be activated on October 15 by transiting Mars. Transiting Mars goes into its retrograde phase soon after and then turns direct at 0º Leo (less than one degree from the eclipse point) on March 10, 2010. So on or within days of October 15, 2009 and/or March 10, 2010, we can expect what Washington insiders refer to as a "game changer".
