Leo is the sign of the Lion
Element fire & motto 'I Create'
Character
Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac and is represented by the lion. You are a natural performer and are at your best when you are the centre of attention. You also make an excellent leader as you have real confidence in yourself and are able to inspire others. You are very able to take responsibility and you gain respect for being straightforward and honest. You are never malicious and find it hard to understand this type of behaviour in others. Leo is associated with the heart and back and you may be prone to problems in these areas. With a Leo Sun you are a social animal and need to have people around you to reinforce your ego, which needs constant attention. Your high opinion of yourself is only because of your self-confidence and the admiration you receive from those around you. Your appearance and home tend to be very showy as you like to have the best of everything, but this is not to be better than everyone else, you just appreciate good things. Your sense of drama means you feel at home on the stage or in any situation where you can entertain, and others can not fail to notice you. Despite this you do not appreciate being made fun of and because you are so trusting you can be easily hurt. Being loyal, generous and in no way aggressive makes you an excellent partner or friend. Although you are conventional in your outlook and find it hard to admit your own failure, you are very forgiving of others.
Words to describe Leo
Ambitious, extroverted, optimistic, honourable, dignified, confident, conventional, proud, dramatic, leader, charismatic and flamboyant.
Career
Working behind the scenes or boring detailed work does not suit you. You need responsibility and recognition for your hard work but you are not quick to adapt to change as you are quite fixed in your outlook. It is important for you to be at the top of your chosen career to enjoy the luxury and comfort a good salary can afford. You succeed best when you are in a position of authority or on any type of stage, so ideal jobs are as an executive or manager in any area, work in the government, barrister or teacher. You have a great creative ability so other possibilities are acting, entertaining, the theatre, film producer or anything that involves dealing in gold or other precious metals.
Love
You are passionate and fall in love easily, although you are generally quite careful about choosing a partner who will enhance your showy image. You need lots of attention from everyone including your partner who must be able to provide this but at the same time keep their own identity. Flirting is like second nature to you but this doesn't mean you will take it further, it's just another way of pampering your ego.
