Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
The leader of the pack! Go ahead; preen all you want, as you discover more about
yourself!
Ruled by the sun.
A Masculine Positive Fixed Fire Sign.
Polar or opposite sign: Aquarius
Color: Gold-yellow - orange, sometimes red
You as a man:
You will be a chivalrous and Leo gallant suitor, protective and affectionate. You are
even endowed with a kind of instant passion. You are the life of most parties, and
wear the jester's mask to get attention. Regardless of appearances, there's nothing
easygoing about your inner nature.
You need a steady supply of affection to be faithful to a relationship. You appreciate
beauty. You have an enormous need to command and be loved by those you rule.
You secretly fear being ridiculed. Yet, when your nobility has been aroused by a great
cause, you know no fear.
You as a woman:
You are not a wallflower. You are a sunflower. Most likely, you'll be the social leader
of your group, lording over lesser people like a queen, but with such disarming
warmth and such a beautiful smile, no one really minds. You can act up a storm, and
pretend to be sweet and harmless. You can't exist without appreciation. You are
usually generous, intelligent, witty, strong, and capable, yet deliciously feminine at
the same time. Flattery is your secret weakness.
Confinement inside four walls and under one roof can soon rob you of your sparkle.
You must have your own career.
You in Relationships
You are the life of any relationship, and a courtship with you will rarely prove dull.
You need to be lavished with attention, but can also do that in return. You need a
lover who can keep up with you match your wits. If boredom creeps into the
relationship, you look for greener pastures. You need a partner who can understand
your needs and give you the attention you need.
One must Know the rules when dealing with Leo
What you should do:
Think of new ways to praise the Leo every single day. The Lion loves to bask
in the glory of praise.
The Leo will rule the roost, so learn to be submissive. Pretend you like it!
Laugh at the Lion's jokes. The Leo has a wonderful sense of humour, and will
keep you entertained.
Show the Leo how important they are to you.
Be prepared for surprise gifts to be showered on you on a daily basis.
What you should not do:
Don't make plans, unless the Lion has a place in them. Or be prepared for
them to sulk in the corner.
Try and pull the Leo vanity down in public. The Leo ego will be bruised, and
this is not very good news!
Don't take charge of a situation. The Leo knows he is boss, and would not
like to share the spotlight with anyone, not even you.
Don't challenge the Leo vanity. The Lion's ego is fragile, and has to be
handled with care.
Don't insist on sharing honors with a Leo. The spotlight is theirs and theirs
alone.
Beautiful you
Have you checked if your make-up is right? Good. You have people looking, so things
had better be right! You demand to be noticed all the time, so a well-stacked
dressing table is part of every Leo household! And yes, you do have a crowning mane
to speak of! That, with your large and expressive eyes, should get hearts beating!
Did we forget those sexy shoulders?
You don't mind spending hours in front of the mirror for the right look. And if your
brand of shampoo has to be shipped from the jungles of Brazil, so be it.
You wear vibrant colors, lemony perfumes, and you're not afraid to take risks to get
your point across. Your true beauty comes from your readiness to share yourself and
your gifts, your generous affection and your loyal, pure heart.

proud, energetic, confident -- the world can't help but look! You draw attention
easily, thanks to your larger-than-life personality. You make great role models since
the signature qualities of leadership, truth and justice are ones that you seek. As
much as you like being in the spotlight, there really is plenty of room for a team to
assemble all around. Your team is the winning team, and a happy bunch of cats it is.

Money and you
You love to be centre stage, playing to an adoring audience. You also love beauty
and riches and often seem to be pampered with both. When not on stage, it's easy to
spot you in a crowd. You are always the most magnetic presence in the room. You
are a risk taker, but generally only if the odds are in your favor. You hate to lose.
Extravagance is your middle name! You will find a way to make money, because you
surely know how to spend it -- and will. Managing money would definitely crimp your
freewheeling style. If you do overspend, you are generally resourceful enough to get
back on track. When things get really bad, you will pay a visit to the banker, since
you could never borrow from a friend.
