Leo personality profile
Related Articles
The Sun rules Leo and is the most luminous and obvious ‘planet’ in the sky. Down the aeons The Sun has been worshipped for its life-giving force. Without the sun we would not exist and our lives would have no warmth, heat or sustenance. The Sun is the centre of our world and all the other ruling planets revolve around it.
The sun enhances and emphasises our primal instincts. It heightens a person’s power, and lends them an air of ultimate authority. Ego issues go hand in hand with those ruled by The sun - it could be no other way! But The sun also ensures great generosity and a magnanimous attitude. Along with an open heart and sunny disposition, those ruled by The sun are difficult to resist.
PERSONALITY
Leo is the fifth Zodiac sign and is represented by the Lion. The keynote of the Lion is “I Create”. The Leo personality loves to be adored and is compelled to find a kingdom over which to rule. Leo is the performer of the Zodiac who needs a ‘spot’ in which to shine. It is inevitable that Leo will stumble into the limelight. For there is no place to run and hide once the sun comes out!
Leo takes enormous pride in achievement. And the Lion is typically deserving of accolades and reverential treatment. Spells of depression last but a moment. For the Lion is eternally optimistic. Leo does not buy into negativity or toxic thinking and is not prone to self-sabotage.
Natural serenity, dignity and regal grandeur identify Leo; who makes an entrance, even when incognito.
Life must be experienced to the MAX according to Leo. The Lion does not waste energy ruminating about the past, or feeding off regrets. Every moment is savoured and heightened for complete sensation. Leo is prone to hedonism and loves to luxuriate in comfortable surroundings indulging an inherent laziness!
Leo is a master at energising a team, task or situation. For it is difficult to feel down cast in the face of such a sunny, jolly disposition. But Leo must also be very careful not to antagonise. Unruly Leo can be quite argumentative. And there is certainly an air of natural authority that comes with the Leo buzz. Leo should watch out - mistakes are made when bloody-minded arrogance goes to the leonine head!
If you are Leo it is advisable to develop some tolerance and flexibility. Leave things to unfold organically as much as possible, and bend others to your will with a softer approach.
A slightly understated Leo is going to go much further, than one who is in-your-face garish and bordering on the offensive. Basically, if Leo can keep the reins on over-the-top behaviour, gestures and statements, there is no competition!
