 Leo!
About Your Sign...
The Leo type is the most
dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters.
In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they
are the monarch's among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are
ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent,
self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies, and they
are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in support of, or in revolt against,
the status quo. They are at their most effective when in a position of
command, their personal magnetism and innate courtesy of mind bringing out the
best of loyalty from subordinates. They are uncomplicated, knowing exactly what
they want and using all their energies, creativeness and resolution to get it,
as well as being certain that they will get whatever they are after. Their
followers know where they are with Leonians. Leonians think and act bigger than
others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and idealism
sometimes daunt their followers, their practical hardheadedness and ability to
go straight to the heart of any problem reassures those who depend on them. If
Leonians meet with setbacks they thrive on the adversity.
On the whole they are powers for
good, for they are strongly idealistic, humane, and beneficent. They have
powerful intelligence and are of a broad philosophical, sometimes religious,
turn of mind. Those who are devout may become very obstinate in upholding
traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with complete sincerity, to
practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date.
These will be found as the 'lions' of industries, and in the forefront of the
cutting edge of technologies.
Their faults can be as large in
scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative Leonian can be one of the
most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying extreme arrogance,
autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of temper. If jealously
suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and trickery
to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for flattery, boastfulness, and
bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant
disdain of underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the carrying out
of minor details in their grandiose schemes, and from whom they are not above
borrowing immoderately if an occasion necessitates it. Any of these can be
characteristic of Leo. Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power,
unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence, and a character emerges that no
one would want to know either in public life or private. But their pride may go
before a fall, as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low.
Fortunately it is rare that a Leo is so undisciplined as to give way thoroughly
to this list of vices, and their tendencies to them are usually balanced by an
innate wisdom. Those who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence it
takes to consciously and actively overcome them.
In professional life they do well
at any vocation at which there is room at the top. As politicians they are
content with nothing less than a powerful position in government. In business
they may be the chairman of their company's board, or at least directors or
managers. They are excellent organizers and overseers, often laying the
groundwork for new projects. If from the artisan ranks of society they will
aspire to become the boss, partly because they are ambitious by nature, partly
because they dislike manual labor, preferring to take charge of others doing it.
If artistic, Leos can become stars of stage or screen (their bent is serious
rather than light drama), maestros as musicians where they will gravitate toward
the grand instruments or activities, such as the organ or conducting of
orchestras and as painters; anything grand in conception and scale appeals to
them. Leo women make exceptionally good welfare workers.
In his or her relations with
others the Leo type is open, sincere, genuine and trusting. Outgoing,
spontaneously warm hearted and plain spoken, though never lacking in kindliness,
Leos are more disillusioned than the average if let down by those they trust.
They are not good judges of character and are inclined to favoritism and an
exaggerated faith in their followers which too often ends in disappointment.
They have a strong sex drive and are so attracted to the opposite sex that they
find it hard to be constant; they can be so intensely sexual as to become
dissolute. They may have numerous love affairs for their love of pleasure and
beauty is liable to drive them from one attractive partner to another. They are
very much inclined to deceive. Their marriages may fail for the same reason, yet
they are sincere and generous to their lovers while love lasts, and will remain
attached to their homes so long as it is run for their benefit. They demand
service but are incapable of giving it.
Possible Health Concerns...
Physiologically, Leo governs the upper back, forearms, wrist, spine and heart.
Its natives are subject to a number of ailments: pain in the back and lungs,
spinal complaints, diseases of the heart and blood, sickness in ribs and sides,
convulsions, pleasantries, violent burning fevers including, in former days,
when they were prevalent, plague, pestilence, jaundice, and some afflictions of
the eyes.
