Leo Horoscope for the Month of August 5 Simple Things to Do
Okay so last week I stumbled on this Leo horoscope list for August. Five simple things supposedly help us shine or whatever. Normally I scroll past that stuff, but hey – slow Tuesday. Figured why not give it a proper shot this month? Worst case, got a story to tell. Here’s exactly what I did, step by step.
Started Simple: Gold Accent Thing
The first tip said “wear something gold as a confidence booster.” Sounded easy enough. Dug through my drawer and found this cheap gold-plated chain I bought years ago collecting dust. Honestly forgot I owned it. Threw it on Tuesday morning. Kept it simple with a plain black tee.
By lunch? The clasp was driving me nuts. Kept flipping around to the front like it had a grudge against me. Accidentally scratched the back of my neck raw trying to fix it during a zoom call. Confidence level? Meh. More focused on not bleeding onto my collar. Took it off after work. Lesson learned: maybe invest in a better clasp next time.
Actually Tried Creative Writing
Point two screamed “unleash creativity – write for 10 mins daily.” I grabbed my dusty notebook Tuesday night. Pen felt awkward. Stared blankly at page one for a solid five minutes. Brain felt like concrete. Finally wrote: “Leo tried writing. Pen scratches loud. Still staring.” Real deep stuff. Wednesday? Remembered at 11 pm. Frantically scribbled half a sentence about leftover pizza. Gave up Thursday. Creative flow? More like creative trickle. Might try voice memos next time.
The “Generosity” Experiment
Tip three suggested a small daily kindness. Decided to sprinkle sunflower seeds for birds near my balcony window every morning. Felt like a Disney princess for three days straight watching sparrows go nuts. Thursday? Pouring rain. Got soaked trying to sprinkle seeds like an idiot. Friday? Accidentally tripped while carrying coffee, splashed half the cup onto a startled neighbor’s shoe instead. Offered to pay for a cleaning. He declined, looked annoyed. “Generosity” can bite back sometimes. Will stick to bird feeding on dry days.
Meditation? Kinda.
Fourth one said: “short daily meditations for calm.” Downloaded a free app. Sat cross-legged on my slightly lumpy living room rug Monday morning. Tried breathing deep. Lasted approximately one minute before my foot fell asleep and a truck outside started beeping wildly. Day two? Spilled lukewarm tea on my lap mid-“ohm.” Gave up on guided stuff Tuesday night. Found out sitting quietly with eyes closed after brushing my teeth worked better. Less pressure. Did that nightly. Felt… calmish?
Hosting People (Once!)
Final tip was “be social – host something small.” Panicked a little. Not a party person. Texted two friends Friday: “Cheap pizza my place?” Ordered two large pepperonis. One friend cancelled last minute. Other showed up, ate three slices while we watched bad reality TV. Lasted about an hour before he yawned and headed home. Didn’t deep clean my bathroom for it, so win? Technically hosted. Checked the box.
How’d August Turn Out?
Honestly? Followed every single step exactly? Nah. Life happened. Got busy, forgot stuff, messed up. BUT:
- Found that stupid chain. Might wear it properly someday.
- Journal exists again. Even wrote three whole sentences about rain one night.
- Birds ate good when it wasn’t pouring.
- Sitting quietly after brushing teeth stuck! Surprisingly peaceful.
- Pizza night happened. Low effort, no stress.
Trying all five things was… interesting. Felt more intentional than usual this August. Did the stars align? Dunno. But doing small things deliberately? Yeah, that kinda felt good. Might eye the September list less skeptically now.
