Leo ! About Your
Self… |
The Leo type is
the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all
the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of
bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's
among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are
ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive,
independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt
in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born
leaders, either in support of, or in revolt against, the
status quo. They are at their most effective when in a
position of command, their personal magnetism and innate
courtesy of mind bringing out the best of loyalty from
subordinates. They are uncomplicated, knowing exactly what
they want and using all their energies, creativeness and
resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will
get whatever they are after. Their followers know where they
are with Leonians. Leonians think and act bigger than others
would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and
idealism sometimes daunt their followers, their practical
hardheadedness and ability to go straight to the heart of any
problem reassures those who depend on them. If Leonians meet
with setbacks they thrive on the adversity.
On the
whole they are powers for good, for they are strongly
idealistic, humane, and beneficent. They have powerful
intelligence and are of a broad philosophical, sometimes
religious, turn of mind. Those who are devout may become very
obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling
tenaciously, but with complete sincerity, to practices and
doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly
out-of-date. These will be found as the 'lions' of industries,
and in the forefront of the cutting edge of
technologies.
Their faults can be as large in scale as
their virtues, and an excessively negative Leonian can be one
of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying
extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and
excessive hastiness of temper. If jealously suspicious of
rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and
trickery to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for
flattery, boastfulness, and bombast, pomposity, snobbish
superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant disdain of
underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the
carrying out of minor details in their grandiose schemes, and
from whom they are not above borrowing immoderately if an
occasion necessitates it. Any of these can be characteristic
of Leo. Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power,
unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence, and a
character emerges that no one would want to know either in
public life or private. But their pride may go before a fall,
as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low.
Fortunately it is rare that a Leo is so undisciplined as to
give way thoroughly to this list of vices, and their
tendencies to them are usually balanced by an innate wisdom.
Those who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence
it takes to consciously and actively overcome them.
In
professional life they do well at any vocation at which there
is room at the top. As politicians they are content with
nothing less than a powerful position in government. In
business they may be the chairman of their company's board, or
at least directors or managers. They are excellent organizers
and overseers, often laying the groundwork for new projects.
If from the artisan ranks of society they will aspire to
become the boss, partly because they are ambitious by nature,
partly because they dislike manual labor, preferring to take
charge of others doing it. If artistic, Leos can become stars
of stage or screen (their bent is serious rather than light
drama), maestros as musicians where they will gravitate toward
the grand instruments or activities, such as the organ or
conducting of orchestras and as painters; anything grand in
conception and scale appeals to them. Leo women make
exceptionally good welfare workers.
In his or her
relations with others the Leo type is open, sincere, genuine
and trusting. Outgoing, spontaneously warm hearted and plain
spoken, though never lacking in kindliness, Leos are more
disillusioned than the average if let down by those they
trust. They are not good judges of character and are inclined
to favoritism and an exaggerated faith in their followers
which too often ends in disappointment. They have a strong sex
drive and are so attracted to the opposite sex that they find
it hard to be constant; they can be so intensely sexual as to
become dissolute. They may have numerous love affairs for
their love of pleasure and beauty is liable to drive them from
one attractive partner to another. They are very much inclined
to deceive. Their marriages may fail for the same reason, yet
they are sincere and generous to their lovers while love
lasts, and will remain attached to their homes so long as it
is run for their benefit. They demand service but are
incapable of giving it.

PROBLEMS THAT
MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun
signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and
assess the proper solution based on the sun sign
characteristics. As a Leo you may see things below that really
strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed
at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of
the negatives below, it is because you are failing to express
the positive.
Problem : Getting all upset and
angry with others when things do not go the way you fully
expected them too. This kind of reaction to a problem is what
causes a lot of marital discord and
unhappiness.
Solution : You should never base all of
your expectations on what you should get, but rather base them
on what you can give to, or do, for those who are in your
sphere of influence. You will find you have a more peaceful
and happy home if you do this.
Problem : You are
sometimes your own worst enemy, especially so when you are
striving for attention in such obvious ways that you turn off
the very people you sought to impress.
Solution :
The first place to start is to stop trying to gain attention;
give people the chance to notice the real you. Decide what it
is that impresses you and you will then know what to do to
impress others.
Problem : Egotism, to the extent
that you may be the Leo who thinks no one is quite as good at
things as you are and the people around you are made to feel
small through your habit of comparison.
Solution :
What the higher minded Leo has is a sense of self worth
and of greatness, this is corrupted when you let the ego get
out of hand so you should learn to walk tall by looking up to
those that are 'taller' than you are.
Problem :
Losses in income from unwisely speculating which leads to
financial ruin, as well as possible personal losses of family
and friends due to a lack of concern for their financial
welfare.
Solution : You should always investigate
all investments well before they are made, then talk it over
with your spouse as to how hard the budget can be hit, before
you spend the first dime.

The male lions
are not particularly good hunters, the main work is done by
the females when the male drives the prey in the direction
where they are hiding, although the males insist on eating
their share before the females. Hunting occurs at night or
cooler times of day, the hotter hours are spent resting in the
shade. Only males grow a mane, which can take up to 5 years to
fully develop.
