ZODIAC SIGN

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. http://horoscopes.lovetoknow.com/Leo_Traits http://www.pasqualina.com/sff/Leo.asp?Diff=SFG
