ZODIAC SIGN

Leo

The meaning of sign LEO

Fifth sign of the zodiac

Your element: Fire
Your ruling planet: The Sun
Tarot card corresponding to your sign : La Force
Your lucky color: Yellow
Your stone: Gold


Your fire is the fire of high summer. It is incandescent, burning, and absolute. You do not accept, except with great pain, emotional mediocrity, half-measures, or half-hearted relationships. Passion must burn within you for you to find complete fulfillment. You have a great need to be loved, appreciated, and popular. Without this, you feel yourself entirely lost, abandoned, and very alone.

You are very flirtatious and you love jewelry. You have a great need to be popular and admired. Often your personal magnetism and your charm help you in this, but when this is no longer the case you suffer deeply. You always set your standards high. Some of your personal qualities favor success but when you encounter difficult obstacles you still have not learned how to surmount them.

To feel truly happy, you would need to succeed all the time. You have the capacity to do this, but your flaws occasionally hinder you at the first sign of trouble. Therefore, you hide yourself in silence and nothing you do can help.

Your temperament pushes you into situations where you have to "save face", which does you more harm than good. You don't manage to be perfectly lucid, or to look issues clearly as they are. You cut yourself off from others and since you hate solitude, you don't see the chances which life can offer you. In these situations your ascendant plays an important role. It helps you to extricate yourself. The Lion which you are can easily manage to straighten its mane.

Your relations to the other signs:

With other Leos sparks may fly. One of the two must make some concessions to the other, and this will not always be easy. Your relations may consist of spectacular confrontations, or of obstinate unwillingness to listen.

On the other hand you may surround yourself with signs such as Cancer and Aries who will often be ready to understand or admire you. In your private life a Sagittarius may be a very useful contact. Beware, however, of the signs of Air, particularly Geminis: all may go well with them for a time, but a fire can break out extremely quickly and ruin everything.

This short, unassuming analysis can help you to better conduct your existence. To learn to know yourself better allows you to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

The people who succeed in life are often those who know consciously or unconsciously how to make the most of their talents, their advantages, and their strengths, while understanding how to maintain control over their weaknesses.


All About Leo

Leos love the spotlight. Leos love attention. Leos are born to be drama kings and queens. These are the typical assertions made about the Leo personality. However, just like you, we recognize that Leos (and the rest of the zodiac signs) have multi-dimensional personalities. Let’s expose that multi-dimensional aspect by taking a closer look at some of those Leo traits.

Lovable Leo Traits

First, the upside to the Leo personality.


Shine On

There’s a good reason why Leo’s love and crave the spotlight. It’s because their ruler, the sun, is the center of “our” universe. Think about it. All of the planets, from closest planet Mercury to debatable Pluto, revolve around the sun. From this perspective, it’s easy to see why a typical Leo trait is to crave the warmth of the limelight. It’s literally second-nature to you! Others may see it has hogging the limelight, but you know you deserve nothing less!


Creativity

One of the lesser known Leo traits is the drive they feel to create, whether it’s acting in a play, writing a novel, or something else. This is in large part due to the sun’s domain over creativity.


Loyalty

Few, save for perhaps Cancer and Scorpio, are as loyal as a Leo, and this is one of the most admirable Leo traits. Think of Leo’s symbol, the lion. The lion, king of the jungle, rules his pride, but he also defends it. Leos bring this same sense of duty and loyalty to their friends and family.

[edit]

Not So Lovable Traits

There are, however, some undesirable Keo traits that are associated with this sun sign.


Arrogance

It’s not one of the prettier Leo traits, but fairly or unfairly, it’s one that’s often associated with the lion. Remember the analogy of the sun being the center of our universe? Well, Leos can sometimes take that a bit too far and a bit to literally for their own universe of family and friends. Leos are so big-hearted, however, that many within their inner circle tend to overlook this less desirable quality.


Image Oriented

Leos like the best of everything. The best cars, the best wines and the best restaurants; this is the Leo personality. That being said, they can sometimes get a little carried away with this concept of “the best” and forget that it’s not things that make up a personality, but character. If you find this happening to you, stop and remember that it’s one’s own true character that makes one great.


More Attention Please

It’s that spotlight thing again, Leo, and often, it comes with a shadow side. While it’s true that you love being the center of attention, once you see that you’re beginning to ignore your friends' and families’ problems in favor of your own personal dramas, try to pull back a little. One of your best qualities is your generous nature; blend that side with your listening abilities, and you’ll be sitting pretty!


Leo in Love

We can’t discuss Leo traits without talking about Leo’s love affair with love, for when a Leo is in love, that’s when their best qualities really shine.

When a Leo loves you, you’ll be showered with expensive gifts, jetted off to the hottest nightspots, and revel in the romance of champagne and flowers. If your idea of romance is the stuff of romantic movies, a Leo can make that dream come true. Here are some tips to help keep your Leo happy:

  • Praise often and frequently: Tell him he looks great or that she smells fantastic, and watch them preen with pleasure.
  • Live life out loud: Be game to try a new restaurant and keep your overnight bag packed for quick jaunts to the countryside; anything’s possible with a Leo!
  • Take care not to wound their pride: For all their braggadocio, Leo’s wound very easily. We’re not saying not to tell them when they step out of line, just do it delicately.

Enneagram (past blog in dlscpeople)

At first when I heard enneagram, I remember my high school enneagram and the result was the same as I filed up the questions. For me it was fun because I love knowing other personality and there reaction. It is also fun for me because when I notice all the notes about my number some of it was true and some of it is balance. I do really feel like I really knew my own attitude and also sometimes I misunderstood other actions, sometimes I'm afraid to mingle because some people misunderstood also my attitude and for me it really very disappointing and lonely.

The important thing I learn to myself is to control my negative feeling and also say something about other people around me. I also value my positive attitude which gave me strength and proud of what I have. I had also practice the important of understanding my friends acting like I’m silent in everything they will do (bad or good) as long as they will not hurt someone.

The thing I learned to my classmate is when they knew the number they’re really curios and also comforting each other that they understand why they are like that. When I saw some smiles I knew that kahit anu sila nanjan pa rin sila as there friends, brother and sisters, etc. I feel like they are respecting each other personality which gave everyone to be open in everything.


In an organization this enneagram is useful in business communication because everyone would know each side and may understand every conflict that ever happen in an organization. It can also affect the company itself like if you can mingle easily it means you know every people and in the organization it will consider as one family and it has lots of benefits. While if everyone don’t mingle or know everybody it is a negative effect in the company and also can change the relationship to one another. There could be lots of problems like grapevine and anger to the management.


To improve the activity, there must be a group reflection or discussion that can test if they want or don’t want each attitude and test if they could understand everyone.
I knew from the start where I’ll be in this activity but I’m just excited to know other information about it. Some information was a shocked reaction but I reflected and think if I had done it for sometimes and yah maybe just ones or when I’m in a bad mood.

The things that I can’t accept and haven’t seen in my attitude are:
· being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be · have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers · not being caught up in material possessions and status Maybe being independent is really what I like because I know and knew that I have a matured mind, but I’m not sure to it. All of the information in the enneagram is really true. Well, I don’t have to deny whether you like it or not. When I read it and ms. Dianne explains it, I was so happy that all of it except the two that I had mention is really me. I really love this topic. I’m fun of observing and knowing other people to understand them. But sometimes I can’t control my feeling so some of the situation I can’t handle.

The things I like in my personality are:
Alert, curious, inventive, independent, insightful and analytical.· Speak in a straightforward and brief manner. · I need time to be alone to process my feelings and thoughts. · standing back and viewing life objectively · coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects · my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure · being calm in a crisis · watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally · spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and· are very bright and curious and do well in school · watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information · are sensitive; and avoid interpersonal conflict I really love being alone.

The things I don’t like in my personality are:

·
Remember that if I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
· Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
· If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
·
Don't come on like a bulldozer.
· Avoid big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.
· being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
· feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
· being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
·
have a few special friends
· assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
· feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

There was a time that others don’t understand my wants/my feelings. Like if I want to join a party or I was not permitted by my parents. I’m having a feeling of loneliness and disappointment and do something overwhelming to overcome my feelings. The other one that I want to share is whenever someone ask me again a question or something I’m so irritated because I just said at first why they can’t hear that. For the people and friend that I had shown this situation sorry and I hope u understands it now. I don’t want to say a name but I hope if they would read this now they will have an idea.


I could improve if I would practice some of the contradicting negative facts in the information and to shown my parents that I’m in a good environment and do the responsibilities but sometimes I need them too. The steps that I must do are love first myself, understand my attitude and also the people around me as much as possible I could give them the advice that I could help them and guide them.

For me, I wanted first to start it on my own and experience it after I could share it to everyone. In some ways and practices I must mingle to a bunch of friends like my sister fiends and apply everything. Your curious why I don’t have a bunch of friends na ka batch ko. That’s always my question. I just have one ad only true friend here in school and some are just acquaintances.
