Daily horoscope for August 17: YOUR star sign reading, astrology and zodiac forecast

Today’s horoscope is packed to the brim with fiery energies associated with Leo. Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and holds a strong position in the Fire house of elements. People with a strong Leo influence in their charts are said to be courageous, bold and worthy of praise

Today, use this influence to impress others with what you can accomplish.

And yet, should these feelings become overwhelming, you might struggle to find your confidence in the spotlight.

And with the Leo New Moon hiding from sight later this week, be sure to keep your heart open and your emotions flowing.

Astrologer Debra Silverman of Astrology Answers said: “If you hear double Leo, which probably some of you have heard, you would immediately think, ‘Oh my God there’s some big loud personality.’ That’s not true.

“When the Sun and the Moon are together, it’s called a New Moon.

“It’s a dark sky, it’s an introverted time so don’t assume because somebody’s born as a double Leo, because people mistake Leo as being the show-offs, they’re actually the shyest sign in the zodiac.”

Leo can take centre stage when need and play the role perfectly.

But as soon as that is over, a longing to go home for a bit of peace and quiet takes over.
