Leo Meaning
Leo Personality
Leo always wants to be the center of attention, hence its rulership with the Sun. They are playful, enduring and often bring life to the room. Even though they seem to have the confidence of a natural Born Queen, Leo’s can be slightly insecure if they don’t feel loved enough. This fixed sign usually can be persuaded with flattery, gifts and adoration. They love to give love, but it’s usually conditional love. If they give you their love, they expect it in return. You will rarely find a Leo who will stay in a loveless marriage or pursue someone who isn’t interested in them.
Leo is one of the two signs that are considered “party” signs. They love to party and have a good time. Actually, “Good Times,” should be Leo’s mantra. They are compatible with Sagittarius, who are party loving too. When Leo walks into the room, everyone turns to look. Literally they can be the flame that ignites a boring party into a dynamic, once-in-a-lifetime night. They do have an ability to have stories that keep people listening even if they over embellish and stretch the truth. But that is the exciting thing about a Leo, they can add a bit of energy that draws people in like a moth to the flame.
Leos are creative and can excel in theater. If they aren’t on stage, they are often behind the scenes yearning to be the lead character. Their own lives can take on this unrealistic dramatic approach. This is due to their daring nature. The shadow side is that this danger can create dramas outside of the theater. These are the types that may want to argue in public just to make a scene for fun.
A Leo is a natural born leader, who will want to take the reins. Leo’s have this mesmerizing ability to draw people into their causes or situations. They take control of the situation and expect everyone to follow. When people don’t want to follow them, they can become sullen and depressed. Barack Obama is an example of a Leo who has a magnetic, powerful leadership quality.
Loyalty is a strong Leo trait. Leo’s are often loyal to a fault, which produces a stubborn (fixed) blind loyalty. They can be especially loyal to their spouse and children. They will fiercely defend their family and good friends. Sometimes they are even stubborn and blind in love. They may have an image of someone in their mind that isn’t true.
Leo’s have the strength of a thousand stars. Their will power can be very strong. My grandmother was a 1st decan Leo and she lived until she was 89. If the doctor told her to stop drinking, she did. When the doctor told her to stop eating salt, she did. When the doctor told her to stop smoking, she did. Her will for life was strong. When a Leo has accepted death, especially when they are still young, there is always something else going on. There is pain in the emotional part of the heart. That is symptomatic of a broken heart. You can break a Leo’s will, by breaking their heart.
Leos are courageous, which is why they make excellent leaders. In Tarot, we see Strength ruling Leo reminding Leo to use love and patience. One of Leo’s life lessons is learning to use their heart, while becoming compassionate and less self-centered. When they do this, they can achieve anything. When you are pure of heart and your intentions are good, then good fortune will always shine through any dark time.
Leo’s make good managers. I want to make it clear that cardinal signs are true leaders. This is especially true of Aries, Cancer and Capricorns. Cardinal signs get the idea started, the idea rolling, but hand it over to a Leo. Leo’s do the management side.
Leo rules the 5th house in the astrology wheel. The 5th house rules over the love you give, romance, affairs of the heart, creativity, children and pets. Leo’s usually have a strong affinity to children and pets.
Dogs are a Leo’s best friend. Leo’s love the attention a pet will give them and dogs give the most loyal and obedient affection. Dogs tend to bond with one person and a Leo will want that one person to be them. They can also be fond of cats, fish and any other animal companion.
In natal astrology, Leo in the 10th house (midheaven) is considered to be the most beautiful. They are often very attractive and radiant.
Leo Physical Appearance
The physical appearance can take form in both the sun and rising sign. Genetics also play a factor.
The first thing to note is their hair. Leo’s will make it the centerpiece of the entire aesthetic. It will either be full, thick and wavy or the color will be a pure golden blonde. Either way their hair stands out as a unique feature of their appearance.
They usually walk like a feline: slow, deliberate and casual, but with dignity. After all, the party doesn’t really start until a Leo arrives (at least that’s what they think).
Leo in Love
Leo rules the 5th house of romance, children, and art. Leo’s love being in love. They thrive on being surrounded by someone who can shower them with affection and adoration. If you find yourself talking to a Leo who claims they are single, watch for signs that they have a secret lover, just got out of a relationship, or are surrounded by many suitors. Leos love romance and they love being romanced.
Leo’s need to feel that they are the center of your world. They need plenty of praise and admiration. Leo does rule the Sun, which is the center of the solar system. When romancing a Leo, you will want to make them feel like they are the most magnetic thing you’ve ever seen.
If you are in love with a Leo, you need to know that a Leo wants to ‘own’ you. They won’t be anyone’s second best or runner up. They want to be assured that you only have eyes for them. Plus they need to know they are the leader of the relationship.
Like a monarch, a Leo wants the best that life has to offer. Don’t be a cheap date. They want the prettiest woman (or man), the most expensive steak and the finest jewelry. If you don’t shower them with luxurious gifts and praise, then you aren’t right for a Leo. At the core, they are extravagant, showing their gorgeous colors to the world.
