Leo: An in-depth look at the astrological profile
Leo is astrologically represented by the Lion – also called the King of Beasts. Leos enjoy – and demand – to being treated as the ones at the Top of the Zodiac, which is mirrored also in how popular and inspiring they can be. Similar to the animal itself, people born under this Sign are strong and vigorous, stubborn and outspoken. They have great willpower when it comes to planning and completing their projects, and this shows how well this Sign fits the Fixed Quality assigned to it. Leos can sometimes become selfish and can look down on people, but they compensate with superior organizational skills. On the Zodiac chart, Leo sits opposite to Aquarius, a Sign of Friends, with the way they make everything about themselves and how popular they are, rather than being part of a team and focusing on group goals. Leos make good leaders, have a lot of dignity and are very confident. They are in fact so confident in their organizational skills that they like to interfere in other people’s plans to make them better.

This Sign is ruled by the Sun, which, in ancient mythology was believed to be the creator of the Universe, the source of all existence. Leos also feel from time to time like they are the center of the Universe, and every now and then even prove that they are just that. People born under the Leo sign are friendly and pleasurable, they love to have fun and they live everyday to the fullest. Even though they can be commanding and have high expectations from others, Leos are natural born leaders, with well-developed administrative skills that serve them successfully in their professional projects. They are also confident and sure not only of their aptitudes but also of their decisions and they don’t doubt their imminent success. Every once in a while, Leos will have a tendency to emphasize setbacks, give them ore meaning than they really have and even focus on them more than they should, but usually they don’t fall out of their normal pattern: optimistic, giving, dignified, determined and not willing to give up.

This Sign’s natural element is Fire, which also makes this sign more physical than others: Leos are action people, not wasting their time purposelessly weighing problems over and over again nor trying to understand their most inner meanings. People born under this sign are not afraid to take risks to achieve their goals, and are not willing squander time by measuring the practicality or sensibility of the issue. They are the people to think big, and they will get back from nothing to fulfill their dreams. Like Fire, Leos are not only dramatic and bold, but also continuously on the move, never taking their time, and this is fully reflected in their social personalities. They crave power, and look for it wherever they sense they have a chance of finding it, which is really why they have a good chance to be perceived by others as disagreeable, selfish and even insolent. Regardless of all these, Leos are happy and joyful people, always sure of themselves, and love being the center of attention.

The fifth House, ruled by Leo, is not only related to love, family and children, but also to betting. Numerous people born under this sign enjoy gambling, and they even may show off a bit at the table, loving the attention they receive from the occasions. They take pleasure in life seriously, and will not restrain from spending money to make themselves feel good, going so far in their narcissism they can become arrogant and infantile. Still, as a general rule, Leos stay happy just as long as their usual lifestyle lets them feel relaxed and content.

Leos like spending their free time surrounded by people, rather than alone: they are much too joyful to be the sort of people who enjoy their lonely morning jog, even though they’ll do it if that is related to a goal and it appeals to their pride. But they would much rather prefer playing a team-sport or participating in group-exercises. In what concerns love, people born under this sign are loyal and romantic.

This sign influences the back, spine and heart, which is why we may see people that are born under this sign suffer from back or heart problems more often than other signs.
The specific colors for Leo are gold – the color of the Sun and lions – and purple – the color connected to royalty.

What makes Leo stand out from the other eleven signs is their originality and inspiration and how giving they are with other people. When these traits are put together, the result can be a great person that caries gifts or great solutions to what problems anyone might have. Their artistic and theatrical personalities make Leo one of the most extravagant characters of the Zodiac.
