This year the Sun enters its own abode Leo on the 17th of August. Leo is ruled by the Sun. During this day, the Moon and Jupiter will also be in the sign Leo. On this day the Sun, Jupiter and the Moon are seen as the powerful planets. Position of the Sun in Leo brightens the career front while the Moon in Leo brings in wealth.
