The Sun is your ruling planet Leo. Of
course the Sun is not really a planet; it is the center of our solar
system. And, as above, so below! You shine as brightly as the Golden
globe because you reflect the characteristics of the heavenly body that
rules your star sign!
You too are a ball of dynamic energy. You
are warm, bright and self-motivated, and you want to make an impression
in everything you do — your work, your love life and your social life.
Because you are extremely generous, you expect others to be just as
big-hearted. So when you see others holding back, you find it hard to
not jump in and try to change that. You want to see everyone giving to
the best of their ability. To other people, you can look like a bit of a
tyrant, asking for more than they can give.
When you are feeling upbeat, you carry people away with your energy,
and they love you for it. You love sharing your joys and successes with
the people you love, and when you do, you are magnanimous — you never
give a thought to getting anything in return. There are few star signs
who really understand the nature of giving, but Leo seems to have
perfected the art.
You also have a great sense of timing. When you offer a friendly word
or gesture of encouragement, you pick the exact moment when it will have
greatest impact. You always seem to be in the right place at the right
time. You’re lucky this way.
Try to remember that your strong sense of self can be misinterpreted by
others — understatement could sometimes be a more effective way for you
to show your loyalty and express your generosity.
Some people think you are a show-off, but this too is a mistake. Your
dramatic flair is part and parcel of your zest for life, your love of
people and your optimism. For you, life is a stage on which you can
perform and express your talents.
You may not be a performer on the entertainment stage, but Mick Jagger,
a Leo, is, and he is a very good example of the strutting, egotistical
nature of Leo. Mick exudes charisma, creativity and a personal style all
his own. Not only that, but he has embedded his brand name as No. 1 in
the rock industry, decade after decade. On the stage of life, you too
will want to be No. 1, and to present yourself as someone special, with
unique talents.
Loyalty is your trademark. People know you are a genuine friend who is
always ready to lend a hand. Even if you can’t help someone with their
specific problem, you still manage to send out a warm and reassuring
vibration that makes them feel better.
On the other hand, you also have a need to ‘one-up’ others. A little
more humility wouldn’t hurt. You will get plenty of praise and
recognition for your energy and your self-motivation — you don’t need to
big-note yourself. People will instantly recognize your abilities, and
many will look up to you. Try not to let this go to your head; remind
yourself occasionally to ‘get off your high horse’.
Leo’s totem is the lion, lord of the jungle — full of muscularity,
grace and ferocity. This means that your physical appetites and general
level of energy are extraordinarily high. You need to be physically
mobile and fully engaged in meaningful work and social activities to
feel good.
You are a born leader: people naturally gravitate to you, and look to
you for guidance and security. This is especially true if you are born
in the very first part of Leo - that is you're born between 24th July and 3rd
August. At times you can seem a hard taskmaster, demanding excellence
from them — this is just a reflection of your own actions, your own
approach, but keep an eye out for it, and keep it under control.
For Leos born between the 4th and 14th
of August, Jupiter and Sagittarius have a strong sway over your life.
You are adventurous and love to travel, learn about new cultures and
explores the world and people. Mostly easygoing you attract many friends
and seem to be in the right place at the right time. You're one of the
lucky Leos.
Are you a Leo born between the 15th and 23rd
August? Then your fighting spirit is second to none! Nothing gets in
the road of your ambitions so its quite clear that you will achieve what
you set your heart upon. My only comment is that you should never tread
on anyone's toes on the way up the ladder of success. You might just
have to deal with them on the way down!
Generally you have a pioneering spirit; this is connected to your
desire to be the best. So while you could be quite happy with a life
where you follow other people’s rules and regulations, mostly you’ll
much prefer to blaze your own trail.
This means you will carve out your own niche and make a name for
yourself. You’ll shine in almost everything you do, and will without a
doubt make your mark in the world — you can reach the top of the ladder,
no matter what field you choose.
THREE CLASSES OF LEO
July 24 - August 5
Being born between the 24th of July on the 5th
of August makes you Leo through and through. Your charisma and power
are undeniable and from early age you have had a strong sense of your
personal destiny. As a result don't be surprised to find yourself
assuming positions of authority and power and life. Some of you may
even hold high office, become interested in politics or at this
community work and will certainly become the best in your field.
August 6 - 14
As a Leo born between the 6th on the 14th
of August you have an adventurous nature and like to explore the
different avenues of life to make your life more exciting and
interesting. Culture, travel and higher studies are some of the
different avenues which will draw you away from a conventional lifestyle
to an independent type of life. You have a great love of freedom and
will never let anyone dictate the terms of your existence.
August 15 -23
Impatience and a hot-headed nature are some of the problems you face being born between the 15th and the 23rd
of August. Once you can bring these emotions under control you have a
much better chance of not only being successful but finding happiness in
your personal affairs as well. Because of the strong influence of Mars
and Aries on your birthday you have a strong ego and need to understand
that others may just be right sometimes. Notwithstanding these
negative traits, you do have a very generous nature and are affectionate
to the ones you care for.
BORN ON A CUSP?
Leo – Cancer cusp ( July 22 - 29 )
Being born between the 22nd and the 29th of July makes you a rather unique Leo - born native. Apart from the abovementioned personality traits you also exhibit the sensitive characteristics of your previous star sign, which is Cancer.
While Leo is a masculine and fiery sign, Cancer is a feminine and
watery one. What this will do is balance the aggressive masculine traits
of Leo, making you a softer and, at times, moodier individual. You will
tend to absorb the stresses of people and the environment around you
and therefore you need to balance your life much more carefully than the
typical full - blown Leo character.
Along with your loyal and generous nature, you’re endowed with the
intuitive qualities of Cancer. Not only that, both Leo and Cancer love
people, but with this combination of zodiac signs, you will truly be a
champion of the downtrodden and underprivileged. You have deep and
compassionate interests in being of assistance to others.
Being born on this borderline cusp also indicates that you have a
receptive as well as retentive memory. Your ability to recall facts and
figures is notable; however, you can also get stuck on emotional
problems, not knowing how to shake them off. Try to live more in the
present.
Another aspect of the Moon—the ruler of Cancer—that sometimes doesn’t
work well for you is its maternal nature. You sometimes veer too close
to the mothering/smothering lane, which can put people off.
In addition you love to mix with all sorts of people. Social activities
are an essential ingredient in your development. You are a great
success socially, because you can convey your wisdom to others so well—Cancerians have very expressive faces.
You’re a great organiser;
you love your home and family and tend to be flamboyant, but you are
also very sentimental. Self - discipline is something you need to
develop in your life, and also take care of your physical health, which
will, on many occasions, be dependent upon your emotional state.
Leo - Virgo Cusp ( August 16 - 23 )
The other end of the spectrum is the Leo–Virgo cusp and if you’re born between the 16th and 23rd
of August you’ll be prone to possessing some of the traits of the next
star sign to you, which is Virgo. You may or may not know that Virgo is
often fastidious, fault - finding and highly motivated by intellectual
aspects of life.
With this combination you must be careful not to become too set in your
ways and ingrained with ideologies and opinions that often make you
appear a hard taskmaster. When you do express your criticism of
something it’s more than likely because you’ve analysed
and summed up a situation correctly before acting out your thoughts.
While some people might find this an annoying habit, others will never
hesitate to involve you in their work. These people recognise
your natural talents and will invite you onto their social scene and
include you in their personal projects, as your expertise is highly
valued.
Serving others is usually seen as a menial and undesirable activity by
most. You see it with a whole new perspective. It feels good for you to
help others, to see them achieve what makes them happy and, if you can
be part of that in some way, it gives you pleasure.
You make an excellent teacher because you have the knack of explaining
the ins and outs of even the most complicated subject in a simple
manner. Unlike others who try to impress with their knowledge, you are
unassuming and genuinely work hard at being good at what you do.
The Virgo element makes you perceptive and caring of others, and you
are sometimes in a better position to be of service to others by not
exerting your strength but rather sitting back and allowing others to
lead you. This is the unique opportunity you have by being born on the
borderline of these two star signs.
Having this combination of traits makes you fiery and fond of
displaying your creative and intellectual abilities. It also makes you
very dependable, and friends will always be able to rely upon you.
Although you enjoy a full social agenda, the shy and retiring component
of Virgo will often make you slip in and out of the social scene and
this is probably a good thing because it will help balance your life.
