Sun in Leo: you do your best work when someone is watching

You work hardest for a boss who notices. Praise, a title, your name on the project: these keep you going longer than a raise nobody mentions. You suit roles with an audience, such as sales, teaching, performing, leading a team or founding something under your own name.

When credit goes to someone else, you feel it as an insult. Say what you did, clearly and early, and you won't have to fight for it later.

You love loudly: plans, gifts, public affection, loyalty to the end. You want a partner you're proud to be seen with, and you want them to be proud of you too. Being loved quietly in private is not enough; you want the relationship to show.

Arguments are harder. Admitting you were wrong feels like losing face, so you defend a position long after you've stopped believing it. Apologise privately if a public apology is too much. It still counts, and your partner will remember that you made it.

You spend on quality, on treating people and on anything that makes a night memorable. You'd take one good coat over a rail of cheap ones. That taste works as long as the budget knows about it.

Decide in advance what being generous costs this month, then enjoy it without guilt. Picking up every bill to keep your image intact is the habit to drop.

People collect around you because you make plans happen and make everyone feel included. You remember birthdays, defend friends who aren't in the room and host the party. What you ask in return is loyalty. A friend who mocks you in front of others is rarely forgiven.

Being ignored drains you faster than hard work. Long stretches of routine with nobody seeing what you do flatten your mood, and you start doubting skills you know you have.

The fix is not more effort at the same desk. Put something in your week that is only for you: a class, a stage, a creative project with your name on it.

Play, sunlight and people who laugh at your jokes bring you back quickly.
