About Leo
23 Jul - 22 Aug
Keywords: Creative, Generous, Egotistical, Optimistic, Intolerant, Leader
The symbol for Leo is the Lion, king of the jungle! Leo is a fire sign and the fifth in the Zodiac.
The fire in Leo's makes them enthusiastic, optimistic and energetic. They are generally happy, lucky, generous, kind and openhearted; they find it hard to believe ill of others. If injured, they strike back quickly, but they also forgive easily and never hold a grudge. Creative, out-going and self-assured, a Leo's charm can be almost impossible to resist. Though full of ambition and enthusiasm, Leo's have a lazy streak and will take the easy way out if the opportunity arises, especially if the situation offers little fun or glory.
Like the King of the jungle, Leo is the lion/lioness and considers himself/herself leader of the pack. They are fun -loving and love to play. They are ruled by the Sun and when the Sun finally goes in, boy can they sulk! Leo is a child like sign that thrives off attention and they are usually in their prime when they are centre stage. They can be a little boastful not to mention stubborn and because Leo is so good at leading and drama they bring humor and delight to your soul on a rainy day, even if they do seem outrageous! You can't help but adore their warm sunny rays of self expression. They can however, also be incredibly vain and can have a tendency to put themselves before others. They can also be family orientated and are incredibly hardworking once driven. When you have won the love of a Leo they will defend you to the earth but cross a Leo on a bad day and you'll experience a raging fire to say the least!
They are very creative and many are famous actors/actresses and singers, for example Madonna is a Leo
Leo's motto is "I Will"
Leo is ruled by the fifth house which connects to creativity and relationships.
Things to look out for: Leos will not back down in an argument and they are more likely to be damaged by pride and ego than the emotions of a break up. However, they are very sensitive creatures and take themselves very seriously. Leos actually hate to be hated and they want you to adore them
