Leo
Leo is a Fixed & Fiery Sign and its symbol is the Lion. Its lord is the Sun
Arrogance, pride and sunny playfulness distinctively describe a Leo. Its best to humor him, they are energetically gregarious and beautifully indolent persons. They live life in royal style. There are no introverted Leos – some only pretend to be introverted. It takes a brave soul to challenge him when he is defending his rights and his dignity. Some Leos mellow with age, but no Leo will ever lower his proud head.
This native resembles a LION. He has a deceptively lazy look. He walks straight and proud. He has a commanding air and a stately bearing. His movements and speech are deliberate – never fast. He gets to the center of the stage easily. He has a knack of telling you with the most superior and condescending manner, how exactly you should manage your life. They love teaching and hence are good as educators, politicians and psychiatrists. He is deeply wounded when you don’t respect his wisdom and generosity. Simply flatter him, because he loves to bask in the warmth of compliments. Flattery gladdens him, while lack of respect blinds him with rage and in either case it makes him incapable of balanced judgment. He just cannot help feeling superior. He is extremely acute, a superb organizer and a wise distributor of duties. His commands arc surprisingly very effective. Leo expresses approval generously and openly. They are lavish in their hospitality. In family life their fiery pride causes plenty of shattered marriages. They never lean on others for support. Responsibility towards the weak and helpless appeals them. But they disdainfully refuse help for themselves. Very few Leos are cautious with their cash. He is a spectacular gambler at heart. They are wildly extravagant; they dress expensively and always appear well turned out. They spend freely on fun and pleasures.

Pain in the hack and shoulders, spinal trouble, hoarseness or sore throat are his usual complaints. They recuperate with vigor from sickness. They enjoy gossip. They have a fixed nature. It is hard to sway them, though they can sway others with their convincing oratory. A Leo never shirks his duty, helps the defenseless and protects the needy. He is a fiercely loyal friend, but a powerful enemy. He is creative, original, arrogant with an insufferable ego, and suffers from ridiculous spells of vanity. He may wear a Topaz for luck.
