Leo is not only the king of animals, but also the king of the zodiac. After all, it is in this constellation that the Sun acquires its true properties, the energy of this constellation is most comfortable for the Sun, which allows the person born in July and August to show the best qualities of the Sun. In addition, Leo is the constellation of the fifth house, which is responsible in astrology for creative self-expression and the upbringing of children. However, this is not caring for children, like the constellation Cancer, but their education and disclosure of their talents. Therefore, the sign of Leo is directly connected with the theater and pedagogy, and this is a secondary school, additional education. Higher education goes under Sagittarius. In secondary school, a student can show his qualities, be evaluated, make mistakes and learn. The principle of learning from your mistakes is the life credo of Leo. He is bold from irresponsibility and the desire to prove himself in different areas, he treats mistakes philosophically, and is not shy when they are pointed out to him. This is one of the characteristics of the element of fire. For example, Earth signs strive for perfectionism, water signs are afraid to make a mistake and do not take on too much, air signs can be too suspicious and consider that a mistake is a big problem. Fire signs do whatever they want and boldly admit their mistakes, and even manage to make money on this. Leo is proud of his mistakes no less than his achievements, for many this is a shock. However, this property stems from the fact that Leo enjoys himself in any situation.
Characteristics of the sign Leo
The key word that can describe the essence of the Leo sign is egocentrism. There is the world and there is the ego of Leo. Leo always puts his ego in the center in his picture of the world. He never merges with the outside world, even at the moment of closeness with another, he is always clearly aware of what is external and what is internal. So, the true Leo has such properties as:
- enjoyment of oneself;
- acceptance of oneself in any situation;
- the ability to attract attention;
- awareness of personal boundaries.
Of course, Leo can be both hurt and embarrassed, but these emotions pass from him very quickly, and he again returns to his innate narcissism. Psychotherapists should keep in mind that the same events that deeply traumatized other signs of the zodiac in Leo may not leave a light imprint. This is precisely the strength of his individuality. By showing his reaction to resentment, rejection or aggression, Leo shows how a healthy individuality should react. He can flare up, get offended and leave, fight back, even cry. However, all these reactions last 5-10 minutes, in severe cases, several days. And now Leo is already inducing a marathon, exudes self-confidence and generosity to offenders.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main virtues of Leo are associated with the strength of the ego, that is, the feeling of oneself, one’s personality.
- Self-sufficiency Lions consider it a sign of self-respect to solve their problems on their own. If they need help or support, they offer exchange or cooperation.
- Independence Leo can always leave and it is difficult for him to depend on anyone, this is due to the fact that most of the time representatives of the sign think about themselves, their goals and deeds, they think about others only if the other draws attention to himself.
- Force Leo can stand up for himself and fight back, including physical. Leo women, even quiet and timid in appearance, can show composure in a dangerous situation.
- Fearlessness Lions are activated in an extreme situation, you can rely on them. It is also the most artistic sign and they have a predisposition to perform in public, and many stage fright is absent in nature.
- Industriousness Lions are plowmen, they are able to work hard for their goal or even just money.
Leo never admits that he has imperfections, so he has both strengths and character traits:
- Irresponsibility The irresponsibility of Leo is due to the fact that Saturn in the sign does not have a strong position, hence the fact that representatives of the sign put their interests above duties. They can easily cancel or forget appointments and plans.
- Narcissism Leo’s narcissism can reach the point of absurdity, and they admire not only their appearance, but also their creativity. Leos are greedy for compliments, even if they don’t admit it. After all, recognition of talents and admiration is a condition for communicating with him.
- Selfishness The healthy egoism of Leo often imperceptibly turns into an unhealthy one. This is a direct consequence of the habit of thinking first about yourself, and then about others, if asked.
In general, Leo is a strong-willed, courageous and generous comrade, absolutely not vindictive and inoffensive, who can always cheer and help if he is not busy.
Favorite activities Lviv
Lions are not tied to their home, they do not need solitude, communication with people does not bother them. In their spare time, they may seek to meet acquaintances, attend events of a different nature, usually related to art, as well as with their hobby. Lions love to be creative: write, draw, sculpt. However, the professional development of a particular discipline can be difficult, because teaching art is a minimum of recognition and a limitation of individualism. However, if Leo gave himself to art, then he will do it fanatically. It is very important for a sign representative to see concrete manifestations of his talent: a video, a picture, a piece of clothing, a book. Therefore, they will be engaged even at their leisure in the creation of a form. Women love sewing, and men love repairs. Also, the sign of the zodiac is mobile and in his free time he will gladly go on a short trip or go in for sports. More Lions prefer outdoor sports than fitness clubs, it can be football, skiing, kayaking. This is due to the fact that not only sensations in sports are important to Leo, but also the excitement of the game.
Leo man and Leo woman – differences
The Moon is a feminine planet and the Sun is a masculine. We can say that the extraverted principle of the Sun is the personification of the masculine principle. Therefore, Leo men are the true manifestation of the qualities of the Sun, and in a woman they will be partially distorted.
Female lion
The more a woman is immersed in the realization of her feminine nature – marriage and motherhood, the more the Moon turns on in her and the more her lion qualities are distorted. And this means that she can be touchy, vulnerable and quick-tempered, however, she moves away from her emotions very quickly anyway and never remembers insults.
Women play a role that they consider especially seductive, they do not immediately demonstrate their intelligence, the satellite reveals it unexpectedly in the process of communication. Leo women are so used to being the smartest at work and school that at least in a relationship, they want to relax and be a girl. This behavior is clearly manifested in the cinematic images created by the actresses Lions according to the horoscope. Actress Ravshana Kurkova instantly transforms from a strict investigator into a frivolous romantic person, and Lisa Kudrow plays the role of an infantile and strange heroine in the Friends series.
Leo women are actresses in life and can transform from one image to another. In evening dress, the Lioness immediately looks 10-20 years younger.
Leo Man
In general, Leo men are a model of generosity, nobility and breadth of nature. Of course, there are always exceptions that are associated with individual lesions of the natal chart. But the Leo man is not touchy and does not remember evil, and he is not vindictive either. The most he can do is play. The Leo man strives for power, and the volume of this power is not so important to him. He can reign in the family circle or in a small team and be satisfied. Creative Leo loves to inspire with his talent: to read poetry and sing songs where it is appropriate or inappropriate. It is easy to find an approach to the boss Leo through his hobby. If you find out what boss Leo does in his spare time, then you can quickly become a confidant and get promoted, but you will have to go to tennis, listen to his poems or go fishing.
Features of the sign Leo by decades
Pride, ambition, self-esteem among representatives of the Leo sign are natural manifestations of nature, not distorted by psychological trauma or upbringing. Representatives of this sign have a healthy need and the ability to assert themselves. However, depending on the ten-day horoscope, they do it in different ways.
The true Leo is fixated on the realization of his talents. An example of this would be Arnold Schwarzenegger, who invented his own bodybuilding technique. Such a Leo is not afraid of losing status, the former mayor spent the night in a tent in front of his monument. This is the typical behavior of the Leo of the 1st decade, which will always oppose itself to a social role.
Leo with the qualities of Sagittarius is more eager to travel or live abroad, and it is also important for him to occupy a certain position in society, an example of this can be former US President Barack Obama.
Leo, who has the properties of Aries, is hardworking in achieving his ambitious goals. A vivid grotesque example would be the purposefulness of the heroine Jennifer Lawrence in the film The Hunger Games, characteristic of the 3rd decade.
First decade (23.07–1.08)
Representatives of the first decade are individualists, they just want to be themselves and not have anything for it. They can suffer if they are not engaged in their own business and strive all their lives to find a calling. Their leonine temperament is manifested not in external demonstration, but in self-confidence and in ignoring the opinions of others.
Second decade (02.08–12.08)
Lions of the second decade have the properties of Sagittarius, and this gives them two properties: a passion for travel and a desire for fame. The combination of Leo and Sagittarius still gives them the realization that it is important not only to express themselves, but also to take a certain status in society, so they are chasing a prestigious education, love to buy beautiful and expensive things and strive to communicate with rich and famous people.
Third decade (13.08 – 23.08)
Lions of the third decade are devoid of fear of the public, they strive to show themselves and be appreciated. Their passion for fame is phenomenal, they are ready to work hard for it. For example, the brilliant writer Leo Tolstoy, born on August 16, was a model of hard work.
Lions in love
It can be difficult for Leo to understand close relationships between people, because he never thinks of himself as part of a union. The maximum that he is capable of is to consider the partner as his property. However, Leo’s possessiveness is not the greatest pleasure one can encounter. Therefore, it is better to base your relationship with Leo on a clear separation of personal boundaries, using his awareness of what is his own and what is someone else’s, and learn from him how to be a free person in a relationship.
Falling in love for Leo means achieving a goal. Since he adores himself, he is sure that he will be loved. In a relationship, Leos always win. They show their qualities. Women amaze with a brilliant appearance, clothes, like from the page of a magazine.
In a relationship, women are waiting for recognition of their beauty and sexuality, and if they do not receive due attention, then their feelings come to naught. Although if they feel loved enough, they can provide support to a partner: connections or help him get a job, purchase materials for a hobby.
The Leo man demonstrates himself in a relationship with a woman as long as she is ready to listen and perceive him. He talks about his achievements, shows the results of his work. Sensitively notices the reaction. Leo is not ready to fall in love with the first person he meets, he needs a lot of recognition and compliments, only then he is sure that he can trust and experience feelings.
When caring, the Leo man loves to drive to theaters and cinemas more than to restaurants, he seeks to feed him already at home, in an intimate setting. He can force a reduction in distance, representatives of the elements of Fire and Air can normally perceive this, but conservative earth signs are not always ready for this, especially women. However, when Leo is removed and not given what he wants, this only inflames him for new conquests.
The sun and the moon have opposite values, so if the lunar values are the creation of a family, then the solar ones are life for oneself for one’s pleasure. That is why the creation of a permanent relationship is contrary to the nature of Leo, he can follow the lead of a partner, but his marriage is formal. This is due to the fact that Leo does not understand the very principle of being in a pair. Marriage should be justified for him by some benefits.
Leo – compatibility with other signs
Leo is the most incompatible sign of the zodiac, because he is not afraid of conflicts, relationships and intimacy are not a value for him. In a relationship, he needs cooperation and benefits. His independent nature makes him put himself above his partner and not compromise.
Lion and the element of fire
Between Leo and representatives of the signs of the elements of Fire, sexual attraction may arise, but a full understanding between them is impossible.
Aries
Both are waiting for admiration and recognition and cannot give it to each other, this can result in sarcasm and mutual jokes.
Lev
Two Lions can stay with each other only if they promote a common cause, it is important for them not to oppose their individualities, but to express themselves in one thing.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius can become a teacher for Leo and expand his horizons. Joint trips are suitable for signs, but one must recognize the right to lead in the other. In any case, the relationship will be quite official, and true feelings will not arise in them.
Lion and the element of air
Air signs give new ideas, this is always the way for Leo, because Uranus is not very strong in the sign and new information is important for inspiration.
Aquarius
Aquarius respects Leo, he compensates him for the weakness of the Sun. Friendship and intimacy are possible between the signs of the zodiac, but they are both independent and part with any difficulty. They can get back together, but this trait undermines the strength of the relationship.
Gemini
Gemini can be quite interesting to Leo if the fire sign pleases the air sign. Interesting conversations quickly turn into an intimate setting. However, it will be more of an open relationship, since both signs are prone to betrayal.
Libra
Libra likes the self-confidence of Leo, however, noticing that the fire sign thinks only of itself, Libra will feel disappointed. They can react painfully to Leo’s attempts to benefit from their relationship. Also, Saturn is exalted in Libra and they are looking for constancy, which Leo is not always capable of.
Cancer and the earth element
The element of Earth is structure, and Leo is the principle of individualism. In relations between signs, a struggle is possible.
Capricorn
Capricorn has his own ideas about how a person should develop and Leo most likely does not correspond to them. The principle of Capricorn may be too difficult for Leo to perceive, because Saturn requires constancy, responsibility and systematic diligence. The lion can move away to go his own way.
Taurus
Taurus and Leo are the best compatibility among earth signs, they do not teach each other, do not require anything, both love pleasure. In addition, Leo is quite independent and Taurus will not lose interest in him.
Virgo
Virgo is ready to recognize Leo’s virtues, if any. She is ready to admire if he provides support, offers to live in his house, drives a car. If the Virgo does not appreciate what Leo has, she will say goodbye to him without regret.
Lion and the element of water
Water signs are soft and sensual people who love romance. In a relationship with Leo, stormy passions await them.
Cancer
Cancer next to Leo feels all the weakness of his ego and he wants to submit, if Cancer is a woman and Leo is a man, then this will be a relationship where the fire sign will dominate and the water sign will serve. Perhaps the traditional distribution of roles: the wife is the hostess, and the husband is the leader. If Cancer is male and Leo is female, then the best compatibility between them is when the young Lioness needs support, and Cancer is older and can provide it.
Scorpio
The two most powerful signs of the zodiac can enter the path of love. If Scorpio sets out to seduce Leo, then he will succeed. Both signs are endowed with a strong ego and secretly prone to narcissism. Leo and Scorpio can passionately love each other, but their relationship always carries a touch of drama: they are either lovers with spouses or long-distance relationships. Difficulties and obstacles on the way to happiness only increase attraction.
Pisces
The mistake of Pisces in an attempt to charm Leo in conflicting feelings: now – fire, then – cold. Although the answer is simple – compliments and recognition, and he will be there.
Leo’s professional inclinations
In order to fully manifest their sunny nature, Leo needs to find his calling. This is more important to him than to other signs, since some can be content with a hobby, someone just wants to do something pleasant. But Leo definitely needs to become successful, and in what he will do himself.
