Leo horoscope for August 18, 2026
Private life needs more of you than public life today. Protect one evening that nobody else gets to book.
Venus and Jupiter link up kindly today, making social plans and romance feel easy. Say yes to the invitation you were unsure about. For you, this lands in your conversations, messages, errands and the streets near home. First quarter energy favors doing over deliberating. Fix the part that is clearly broken and keep the rest of the project moving.
The Sun is in your sign this month, which puts you and your plans at the center. It is a fine season to update how you show up.
Try this today: Cook a dish from your childhood, or call the person who made it.
