| 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            and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date.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
 
 Some more interesting facts about your sign.........
 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.
