Personality

 You are born to rule. Like the king of the jungle, you are a natural leader. It is not for you to take orders. Needing to assume authority, wherever you are, you are the focus point at any party. Noble as you are, it is very difficult for you to be sly and sneaky. You are honest, frank and courageous and although tending to be outspoken, you are courteous and understand the need for diplomacy when the situation demands. You have a strong aesthetic sense, not only with regard to your possessions, but also the environment around you. You are easily attracted to the rich and the famous, the bold and the beautiful and would often like to fashion your own lifestyle after them. In other words, you are easily seduced by material wealth and luxury and believe in living life in style. Your hobbies will probably be the sporting type or something that is vigorous. You will pursue your hobbies with considerable enthusiasm and excitement and will plunge into them whole-heartedly, at least in the beginning. 

The Element associated with Leo is Fire. Everything about the Lion's personality is hot, hot, hot. Those born under this Sign are fearless and strong, which may be why Lions plunge in head first and let the chips fall where they may. Thankfully, Leos are dignified enough not to commit too many pratfalls. It's the Lion's unswerving courage that wins so many folks over. If you need someone to lead the charge, call a Leo -- and the bigger the project, the better, since these folks love an expansive stage (and the audience that comes with it). While some would take to calling Lions status-conscious, these folks are truly warmhearted and want everyone to be happy., Leos are great at spending money.

Come play time, Leos are at their best. Those born under this Sign enjoy fun and games both outdoors and in (and with a group), so expect to find them playing softball, hockey or a game of cards. The Leo lover is devoted, creative and almost too hot to handle!

The great strengths of the Leo-born are their creativity, idealism and leadership. Lions don't lack for ambition, either, so they're likely to accomplish a lot -- and have fun while they're at it. Their warmth and loyalty ensures that others will enjoy the ride as well.

Fashion

 The Lion rules the roost and wants the best of everything. If a garment is out of your budget, it must be yours. Price tags and labels rule what you buy. If the fashion mags haven't heard of a designer, you drop them like a hot coal. You could never be seen in public wearing anything but top quality. Comfort comes last in your book. If the latest trend requires pants t hat cut off your circulation and wobbly platform shoes, that's exactly what you'll be squeezing into and stumbling about on. Anything daring with a bold display of colors is your cup of tea, as long as it makes you look good.
One thing is for certain: Leo knows how to dress for success.

Friendship

 The Lion can never be accused of hiding behind their mane. They're happiest when people surround them, especially as they're likely to be the center of attention in any crowd. Leo has a ton of friends. After all, anyone who thinks so highly of them self must have something good to offer! The Lion makes a great friend, though. They can be playful as a kitten and are always ready to spread their sunshine around. Beware of their competitive side, though. As your friend, Leo wants to be proud of you and will do everything in their Good to ensure your success -- so long as you don't outshine them. As long as you're the underdog, you'll have a loyal friend. Make sure you remind them again and again how grateful you are for their help, though. A friend who is not appreciative enough of the Leo's charms and generosity may not get the chance to show it later.

Best Friend Bets: Gemini, Libra

Love

A relationship with the daring, yet devoted, Lion will rarely prove dull. This showy cat may need to be lavished with attention, but can also ravish a lover with riches in return. A slow, smoldering pas de deux, which leads to mutual bliss, is what the Lion would love from a partner. The fiery Lion requires a lover who can keep up with them and certainly one who can match wits. If not, the risk of boredom and flight is a big one, since Leo has very high expectations. A partner who can understand and indulge the Lion's need to be the center of attention will be a keeper for this regal cat. The ideal Leo soul mate understands the pleasure principle and will work hard to keep their mate satisfied. 

The strength and amorous prowess that Leos possess makes them a natural leader in the dance of love. This cat may want to rule, but it also wants to be admired, which makes for a love filled with Sexual tension. Even so, the Lion's generous and giving nature makes certain that a lover will feel special. The Lion may test a lover from time to time in their quest for answers about love: What is it really? How can I feel it the most? The one with the best answers to these questions will surely make this cat purr. Love is a most attractive state for Leos, since the pleasure, attraction and fun of the game are all qualities which make the Lion glow.

With her creativity and drive, she could very well become a film star. Her hobbies include acting and others artistic pursuits, activities like tennis, riding and sailing. She is a sociable person and can always be found in groups. She is a born leader; she dreams big and aims high. She may be a handful at times, but this young lady is definitely going places.

Marriage Life

You are very true and faithful to your husband and will try to improve your household by whatever means possible. If your husband understands you, has faith in you, your married life will be bliss. You will go out of your way to do the extra bit to improve the house and care for your husband. You will not mind the extra effort you'll have to make. But if your husband does not understand you then your married life could well face rough weather

 As it suits you to be the centre of attraction, go ahead and wear reds, orange, sunny yellow with the occasional foray into purple. They happen to be your lucky colours, along with white that stands out anywhere. If you are buying a ring or any precious gemstone, go for topaz and amber. While you like to take the day off and relax on Sundays, remember this is also your lucky day and you can use it for any important work. Your lucky number is 1, The Sun is your ruler and your element is fire

Karmic Lesson

Leos make wonderful actors, as they crave the spotlight and do great things when they're in it. The trouble for a Leo comes when the spotlight is challenged or taken away or when the audience isn't as appreciative as Leo wishes it were. When that happens, Leo's sensitive side may come to the fore, leading to dejection and unhappiness.
Leo sometimes believes it is the center of everything as well. Others may see this as a case of egotism and when paired with Leo's stubborn pride, it could add up to a big pain in the neck! Behind egotism, however, often lies insecurity. Leo must consider why it needs to claim the center of attention --. Leo doesn't need to be awe-inspiring to deserve love and appreciation; being a living, functioning being of the world is plenty. As a modification of the well-known saying, Leo would do well to adopt the motto, "I exist, therefore I am loved."

Leo's urge to be appreciated can lead to being boastful or arrogant, but this can cause problems when human fallibility kicks in. One of Leo's most admirable qualities is its dignity, but that can be overridden by emotional over-sensitivity if Leo feels someone has "cut it down to size."
Perhaps Leo's most famous weakness is its vanity.. While appearances are the first things that meet the eye, there are many far more important indicators of a person's character or worth. Good looks fade, but inner character only gets stronger with age. And Leo possesses tremendous strength of character! Demonstrably kind, dignified and generous, Leo would do well to develop those traits rather than paying so much attention to looks and fashion.

Profession

 You are definitely not suited for any lowbrow job. You should do well in white-collar establishment, where you are required to call upon your skills as a leader and a manager. Since you like to lead a comfortable life, you will manage to earn enough to meet your needs. However, beware of speculation and gambling, as these may not prove lucky for you. Leos often find themselves involved in financial litigation but whether they are settled in your favour or not will depend on your natal chart. 

Whether it's for a big project or a noble cause, getting the Lion to jump on board is a shrewd move -- and one that's sure to attract attention! These folks can't help but be in the limelight, thanks to their larger-than-life personality. Hand-in-hand with this is an infectiously positive attitude. Colleagues are often quick to seek out the Lion as a role model, since those signature qualities of leadership, truth and justice are ones that many seek. However, Leos must be careful not to indulge in selfishness or manipulation or to fall into a state of complacency. And as for all that primping and posing, Lion: enough is enough! Yes, life is a banquet, and you are the star, but do you really want to let yourself go that way?


Leos are well suited as managers, architects, inventors, teachers, athletes and Presidents.

Fitness

 Being a leader and commander, you tend to burden yourself with a lot of responsibility and work related pressures, so a good diet and unbounded energy helps Leo maintain good health. Occasionally you are too busy to eat a proper meal but you do try to substitute with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Leos are so often single-mindedly busy pursuing career objectives that this can take a toll on your health. You will have to learn to slow down and relax more often. Many Leos are predisposed to heart-related ailments. Thus, you will have to cut down on demanding activities and avoid excess salt in your diet. Though most Leos enjoy exercising, you tend to get bored very easily, it is essential then that you bring an element of fun and variety in your exercise routine.

Travelers

 Who IS that stepping from that
gilded carriage ...
You love to to holiday in style. They don't like roughing it out on holidays like trekking or cycling but instead want to be pampered with a good body massage or pedicure. You stretch your pockets to include a luxury cruise or a stay in a five star luxury hotel. You enjoy the thought of eating exotic cuisines and people waiting on you hand and foot! 

... royalty? A world leader? Nah, it's probably just a Leo. Those born under this Sign know how to travel in style, and if it's not in a Cinderella-like carriage, it's probably via the Orient Express or the Concorde. Lions love to be treated like royalty because in their world, they're just that. When they hit the road, it's first-class all the way. 

They'll also travel with a few friends in tow, the better for all to see what shining stars they are. Royalty needs its court, after all. They won't dawdle over any one part of the journey, either -- a quick peek at the Mona Lisa is fine, just enough to tell the folks back home about it. Travel for Leos is all about ease, which is why they pack that all those credit cards. Someone will worry about the bill later.

House of Pleasure

The Fifth House is commonly referred to as the House of Pleasure. Oftentimes, pleasure is the result of a creative act. The simple act of creating is, essentially, giving of oneself and making something -- making another? Yes, the Fifth House does speak to procreation and children, but it also addresses the creation of art and culture. The creative life is one from which we can derive much personal pleasure and self-satisfaction. Do I like this? Does it make me feel good? Does it bring me pleasure? The answers therein are the domain of the Fifth House. 

Taking this pleasure principle a step further, one can give it a more human face, even two faces. Romance and romantic affairs, both emotional pleasures, are within the realm of the Fifth House. Emotional satisfaction can be gained in many ways, and yet another way addressed by this House is gambling. While this implies a financial risk, it can also be viewed as the willingness to take a risk -- on love, with money or in life. A gut risk in the hopes of a pleasurable outcome is how the Fifth House sees it.

The Fifth House is ruled by the Sign Leo and the Sun.   SITE-MAP
