The Leo Zodiac Profile |
Dates:
July 23rd through August 22nd
Leo is the fifth Sign of the Zodiac. Moving past the exploration
of the world and the need to nurture of the first four Signs,
Leo's great need is to create. Creativity is one of Leo's
keywords, and people born under this Sign have the vitality and
ambition to be successful in their creative endeavors. Leos are
especially prominent on stage and in Hollywood, as their natural
ability to act and their flamboyance and love of attention make
them naturals at fame. Additionally, Leos love romance, and take
pride in their warm hospitality. As the fifth Sign, Leo also
rules the fifth House: the House of Pleasure.

The Sign In Depth
The Astrological Symbol of Leo is the Lion. The Lion is the King
of Beasts, and Leos enjoy being treated as the kings and queens
of the Zodiac. Like the Lion, Leos have great physical strength
and stamina. They tend to be opinionated, but they have a strong
ability to see their projects through to the end. In this way,
Leo exemplifies the Fixed Quality assigned to it. Leos may be
arrogant or egotistical, but they are good organizers and tend
to be popular and even inspiring. Within the Zodiac, Leo is
opposite Aquarius, the Sign of Friends. Leo tends to be about
self and personal popularity rather than group goals and sharing
of ideas. Despite their tendency to patronizingly interfere in
others' plans, they are leaders, confident and dignified.
Leo is ruled by the Sun. In ancient times, the Sun was believed
to be the center of the Universe, the core of existence, the
Father. Today, the Sun is important because it generates warmth
and keeps life on Earth moving. Leos, too, sometimes feel they
are the center of the universe, and sometimes they are! They are
gregarious and social, fun-loving, and live life with
enthusiasm. Despite their tendency toward bossiness and
pretention, the natural leadership of people born under Leo and
their administrative prowess helps ensure that their projects
are successful. As leaders, Leos are decisive and direct,
optimistic that they will succeed. Sometimes they exaggerate
problems and overreact to stumbling blocks, but generally they
are positive and their natural pride and stubborn streak keep
them from giving up. They can be demanding leaders, but they are
also generous.
The Element associated with Leo is Fire. Fire Signs are
physical: they tend to respond to the world through action,
rather than practicality, intellect, or emotion. Leos jump
headfirst into life, without worrying whether their latest goal
is realistic or practical. For them, everything about life is
Big with a capital B, and if drama and courage is required to do
what they want to do, they have both in abundance. Like Fire,
Leos are always moving and quick, and their warm-hearted and
outgoing personalities are similarly fiery. They tend to seek
power more than other Signs, and because of this people
sometimes feel they are obnoxious, boastful, self-centered, or
rude. But despite their sometimes hotheaded or cutting response,
Leos are cheerful and self-assured, sometimes to the point of
living in a fantasy world. They are always happy as long as
someone is paying attention to them!
Leo rules the fifth House, which besides romance and children
also involves gambling. Many Leos love to gamble, and may be
brash and extravagant at the gaming table. They see it as their
natural due when casinos treat them as royalty! Pleasure is
important to people born under Leo, and they like to spend money
to feel good. At their extreme, some Leos can be vain and
childish or overbearing in their reactions, but generally
they're happy so long as they are comfortable.
In their leisure time, Leos prefer to play in groups rather than
solo. They are too gregarious to enjoy solitary running or
weight lifting, and they much prefer team sports or group
exercise. In love relationships, Leo tops the charts in almost
every area, from devotion to romance.
Leo rules the back, spine, and heart. People born under Leo may
suffer from heart problems or back pain more often than people
born under other Signs. Leo's colors are gold and purple: gold
is the color of the Sun and lions, and purple is associated with
royalty.
The great strength of the Leo-born is in their creativity and
generosity with others. Sometimes these two can combine,
resulting in thoughtful gifts or unique solutions to problems.
Their creative and theatrical natures make them among the most
flamboyant characters of the Zodiac.
