The multi-hyphenate actor, dancer, singer, and literal reason Google image search even exists, Jennifer Lopez is the quintessential celebrity Leo.

She’s still passionately heart-led and is happy to take chances in her love life while always putting her family first.

It’s easy to say that reality TV stars have a pension for the limelight, but how many celebs do we know that got their start on TV and ended up makeup mogul billionaires? Enter, Kylie Jenner. Born Aug. 10, she’s more than just one of our favorite Kardashians to keep up with, she’s the owner of Kylie Cosmetics, a formidable trendsetter, and, likely the most important trait in her opinion, a fun-loving mom. From her show-stopping Met Gala looks to her headline-making relationship with Travis Scott, Kylie knows how to embrace her Leo attributes.

Mila Kunis is magnetic Leo energy in human form.

Born Aug. 14, Mila is very family first, constantly sharing hilarious anecdotes from her life with former co-star and current husband Ashton Kutcher.

Demi Lovato’s entire career, from early Disney channel star to current chart-topping singer is riddled with bold and brave Leo energy. Born Aug. 20, 1992, Demi has been candid about their journey to embody a Leo way of being, because as they told Bustle “Even though I had a big singing voice, I didn’t have a big speaking voice for myself. I didn’t express my needs … And then after a while of your needs and your wants being ignored, you burst.” From being vocal about their gender identity to getting vulnerable while sharing their addiction and eating disorders in the past, Demi is a lion ferociously leading by example.

Joe Jonas has been an entertainer much of his life, sharing the same Disney start as another star on this list. Born Aug. 15, his story includes a good dose of drama (how does a band of brothers even break up?) plush a dash of Hollywood whirlwind romance with his wife Sophie Turner, making it clear that he’s a Leo through and through. He’s also not afraid to lead with his heart, whether it’s when singing lovelorn lyrics or sharing the love he has for his wife and family on social media.

Jennifer Lawrence once interrupted a podcast mid recording to break the “f*cking news” that fellow celebrity Leo Jennifer Lopez was back with Ben Affleck. Born Aug. 15, J.Law's signature vibe is laugh-out-loud boldness, whether she’s asking “where’s the pizza?!” or winning an Academy Award for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, she’s never been afraid of being herself. She’s also not afraid to speak up. She famously started a Twitter account with the singular purpose of tweeting about justice reform. And if that doesn’t show you how much of a Leo she is, she also keeps her circle tight, constantly joking around with her fellow celebrity friends.

Who better to represent Leo’s leadership qualities than the former leader of the free world. Born Aug. 4, President Barack Obama not only shows off his star sign traits on the political stage but has continued to use his voice, speaking out on causes he feels passionate about and even picking up the mic for a podcast series with Bruce Springsteen. He also embodies those heart-led family first traits of his star sign, isn’t afraid to get candid about his life as he did in his memoir A Promised Land, and puts his plethora of talents front and center like he did with his new educational Netflix series.

Anna Kendrick was born on Aug. 9, so her pitch-perfect comedic timing (see what we did there?) shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Born Aug. 12, model Cara Delevingne has big Leo energy, never afraid to show up as her full self whether it’s acting on the big screen in Paper Towns, strutting her stuff on designer runways, or getting candid in intimate relationships. She’s also constantly embodying her star sign’s magnetic positive energy. The star recently told Cosmopolitan that she’s never left a romantic relationship on bad terms, explaining, “‘I just love all the people I was ever with and want the best for them, you know what I mean? I want to see them grow, see them happy.”
