HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sun is your sign’s planetary ruler, but because you were born in the third Decan, or part, of the sign, you also receive some influence from Mars. If the Sun could be considered responsible for your creativity and willpower, it would be Mars that is responsible for your assertiveness and dynamism. You are the most highly motivated of all the Leo Decans, which explains why you are among the most well geared towards success. Seeing as blind ambition can lead to an aggressive nature, make sure to meet your goals with positivity and focus. As long as you give yourself time to enjoy the less serious side of life as well, you will remain on a path towards success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
