About Your Sign...
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and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date.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.

Problem that may arise for you, and their solutions........
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: They should never base all of their expectations on what they should get, but
rather base them on what they can give to, or do, for those who are in their sphere of
influence. They will find themselves having a more peaceful and happy home if they
do this.
Problem: They are sometimes their own worst enemy, especially so when they are striving
for attention in such obvious ways that they turn off the very people they seek to
impress.
Solution: The first place to start is to stop trying to gain attention; give people the
chance to notice the real them. Decide what it is that impresses them and they will then
know what to do to impress others.
Problem: Egotism, to the extent that that may be the Leo and they think that no one is
quite as good at things as they are and the people around them are made to feel small
through their habit of comparison.
Solution: What the higher minded Leo has is a sense of self worth and of greatness, this
is corrupted when they let the ego get out of hand so they should learn to walk tall by
looking up to those that are 'taller' than they 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: They should always investigate all investments well before they are made, then
talk it over with their spouse as to how hard the budget can be hit, before they spend the
first dime. Their ruling planet is the Sun
