Leo the Lion
July 24th to August 23rd
July 24th to August 23rd
Leo is a fixed sign. Fixed signs are willful and are determined to maintain their positions or desires in all life situations. Leo as fixed-fire has an extemely powerful strength of purpose in its method of self-expression and has the desire to concentrate all activity on its delegated authority.
How to recognize a Leo
Has anyone told you lately, “Don’t do me any favors,” but dazzled you with an utterly gorgeous smile as he said it? It’s not at all unusual for Leo to display his arrogant pride and his sunny playfulness at the same time, which is why he gets away with murder.
Leo the lion, rules all the other animals. Leo, the person, rules you and everybody else. It’s best to humor him. If you want to study the beast, hit all the bright, sparkling places around town. At least half the people you see living it up in style will be Leos. The shyer pussycats will be at home living it up. Leo hates the dark and boredom equally.
There are no introverted Leos. There are only Leos who pretend to be introverts. That’s important to remember. Even the gentle Leos are inwardly sold on their royal right to rule friends and family as they peek out from behind the curtains and watch for their chance on stage. Some Leos mellow with age, but the lion never really lowers his proud head. Never.
As for the physical attributes of this Sun sign, just look around for people who resemble a lion or a lioness. Leos walk straight and proud, with the smooth glide of the cat. The females combine lithe grace with a hidden, quivering intensity. Don’t forget the lioness is always ready to pounce if she feels threatened. You’ll notice a commanding air and stately bearing as, Leo looks down on all the mere mortals beneath him.
You won’t ignore the lion for long in a group. He’ll either get the center of the stage with dramatic statements and action – or he’ll get it by pouting and sulking behind the potted palms until someone rushes over to ask what’ wrong.
They have a knack for telling you with a slightly superior, condescending manner exactly how you should manage your life.
This love of teaching is why so many Leos end up as educators, politicians, and psychiatrists. The exasperating thing is that they’re quite good at rationalizing things and smoothing out the wrinkles in your life. Too bad they can’t manage their own affairs with as much ease and finesse. The proud, dignified cat vulnerable? Yes indeed. He’s deeply wounded when you don’t respect his wisdom and generosity. To subdue him, simply flatter him. It’s this weakness which is the Waterloo for many a stern, autocratic Leo. His vanity is his Achilles heel. Flattery acts like catnip to him. Lack of respect blinds him with rage and both extremes make him incapable of balanced judgment.
Leo just can’t help feeling superior and behaving dramatically now and then. Whatever he says, he usually means it. It can soothe or burn, but it never fails to leave an impression.
The regal ways of this sun sign are splendid when the Leo man or woman is host or hostess. They make you feel you are being entertained in a royal palace.
You won’t find many bachelors or spinsters born under this sun sign. There’s usually a paramour hiding nearby any lion’s lair. The fiery pride of Leo causes plenty of shattered love affairs and marriages. A lion minus his mate is usually a woeful sight to behold, but when his pride has been injured by a lover or a legal mate, he can drop his sad-eyed look and become pretty fierce and wild instead.
Since forgiveness and sympathy of spirit are part of the big cat’s inner nature, the reconciliation are about as frequent in Leo’s emotional life as the splits, once the fireworks of outraged dignity have sputtered out and he gets lonely. He’s almost continually in the throes of passion, not just with the opposite sex, but with life itself. Life without love, to both lions and shy pussycats, is like a plug without a socket. The Sun forgets to shine for them when romance dies.
These men and women never lean on others. Instead, they prefer to be leaned on. Responsibility towards the weak and helpless appeals to them.
The typical lion is a spectacular gambler at heart, often wildly extravagant. He wants first class and luxury all the way, and he’ll spend freely on fun and pleasure. Leo will give money to almost anybody.
Leo often runs high fevers, is prone to accidents, sudden violent illnesses and is usually immune to chronic, lingering disease. Since they seldom do anything halfway, these people either radiate incredible vitality or else complain that they’re not long for this world, the latter a typical reaction to lack of appreciation and starvation for affection. Leos seem to have either superbly strong hearts or some sort of weakness in the heart area. Their main danger is carelessness about health or getting up too soon when illness strikes.
They are dreadfully careless and sloppy or meticulously neat and orderly. They rather enjoy gossip, and they feel hurt or left out if something is going on around them they don’t understand. When they work, they work. When the play, they play. When they rest, they rest. Most lions have an impressive genius for cheerfully delegating messy and unpleasant jobs to others, while they attend to important matters.
Leo is a fiercely loyal friend, a just but powerful enemy, creative and original, strong and vital – whether he’s a quiet or a flamboyant lion, for there are both kinds. He has a true inner dignity and grace that lets him carry his misfortunes with courage.

The Leo Man
You might see this man basking in the bright sunlight, and you may find him making flowery speeches, but it won’t be in the solitude of the desert. Most likely it will be on a stage or in front of a circle of adoring friends and relatives. He may waste money, but he’s not about to waste his sweetness in the empty air. There will always be an audience.
The secret of snaring the lion is that simple. Be his audience. Leo pal will happily succumb to the throes of delicious romance, if you play your cards right, adore him, flatter him, and respect him.
The lion will be a chivalrous and gallant suitor, tenderly protective and sentimentally affectionate. You won’t need to lay much of a trap to tempt him into romantic advances. One might say Leos possess a kind of instant passion. He has to be worshiped or die, and you can just about take that literally. Leo seldom spare expenses when they’re courting.
You belong to him, body, soul, and mind. He’ll tell you what to wear, how to part your hair, what books to read, which friends are best for you and how to organize your day better.
All is not roses and honey in a love affair with a lion. First the provocative challenge to interest him, then final feminine submission after you’ve taught him you won’t be completely devoured. He needs your stability to balance his irrational pride. If you don’t possess it yourself, your love may turn into a constant battle royal.
Don’t try to be a career girl. He’ll never stand for it. He’s your career. After you’re married, mated, and deeply loved, count your rewards. Your Leo husband will be as kind and goodhearted as King Arthur, provided you let the family revolves around him. If he gets the respect he demands, he’ll repay it by pouring out generosity. The lion is usually too lazy to chase pretty faces, once he’s found liones who will capably run his kingdom, while he luxuriously snoozes in the hammock.
There’s one thing about the lion you may find very handy. Almost all Leos have a marvelous knack for fixing things. There seems to be something mechanical about this Sun sign. Lots of Leo men can take engines apart and put them back together again, hardly soiling their hands in the process. He’s not the type to let a hinge hang for months unscrewed or a carpet lie on the floor untacked.
The lion is the life of most parties, but he’s no fool. He knows what he wants, and he usually gets it. He’s pretty good at keeping it, too.
If you expect him to be faithful during the courtship, be sure you keep him well nourished with romance and affection or his huge need for love and admiration will make him stalk all over the jungle in search of it. Leo appreciates beauty, so if you’re the type to get jealous over an appreciative glance at another female, you’d better get tolerant fast. Never overly sensitive to the feelings of others, in spite of their basic kindness, most Leo men are so wrapped up in themselves that they can be brutally frank and untactful. But his dazzling smile soon clears the air.
Unlike the Capricorn, who seeks to rise socially through wedlock, the lion sometimes tends to marry beneath him. He has as much desire for social status, but he just can’t resist acquiring a “subject” to whom he’s superior.
It’s sad, but true, that Leos seldom raise large families. Many of them have no children, are separated from them, or raise an only child.
How can you size up the puzzling male Leo? Is he kindhearted or dangerous, generous or cruelly selfish? Is he really a sociable fellow who loves people? Does he gain his reputation for superiority under false pretenses, or does he, like the real lion, deserve to be called King? Obviously, by his own standards at least, he does deserve to be the Lord and Master in his love life and his career. You have to admit that he’s usually highly successful in both romance and business.
He has insatiable appetite, and he’s as proud as a peacock. He has an enormous need to command and to be loved by those he rules.
Your Leo may drive you wild by his antics during courtship, but he’s not at all a bad mate for a long term possibility. If you don’t mind submerging your ego, and building your life around his, once you’ve tamed this man, you’ll be adored and you’ll never be lonely again. Besides, he can fix those bathroom faucets.

The Leo Woman
There’s one thing the Leo woman probably owns that you won’t like. A scrapbook of pictures and mementos from all her old boyfriends. It’s no use trying to get her to burn it, because the lioness is sentimental.
She’s not a wallflower. She’s a sunflower. Most likely, she’ll be the social leader of the group, lording it over lesser women like a queen, but with such disarming warmth and such a beautiful smile, no one really minds.
Nature seems to have shown some prejudice when she fashioned the lioness with enough vivacity, cleverness, grace, beauty, and just plain sex appeal for at least three women, with some left over.
Don’t expect to tame her into a docile little maid who hangs on your every word. The man who expects a Leo girl to worship at his feet is living in a fool’s paradise. Consider yourself lucky if she meets you halfway, respects you, is willing to be your partner and allows you to possess her emotionally. A lioness is a lot of woman. She’s rather a luxury item, not available in the bargain basement.
The first step when you’re courting this girl is to go prepared with gifts. It doesn’t make much difference what they are, so long as they’re expensive, in excellent taste, and you’re dressed properly when you offer them. Then you should practice different ways of complimenting her. Please be original and creative. She can’t exist without flattering , appreciation, but keep in mind that she admires your masculinity, and she has no desire to turn you into a henpecked weakling. A Leo woman couldn’t love you if you weren’t strong.
You’re better off to take her out less often to more glamorous places. She’s just plain uncomfortable in shabby surroundings. Poverty depresses her and makes her physically ill.
Don’t blame the lioness for her occasional arrogance and vanity. It’s her nature to feel herself above the common masses. People seldom resent it, because the Leo woman who’s warmly loved and respected can be the kindest and most generous of females, with a womanly compassion for children and for the helpless and the forsaken. She’s intelligent, witty, strong, and capable, yet deliciously feminine at the same time.
A little flattery will get you everywhere with your Leo lady. You’ve already found out it’s her secret weakness. And here’s another secret, if you plan to marry her eventually, she’ll tire of her gilded cage and want to roam the jungle to see what’s doing with all the other cats out there. Confinement inside four walls and under one roof can soon rob her of her sparkle. Let her have her career.
The typical lioness will spend hours in front of the mirror and fortune on cosmetics, but she wants you to see the results, not the strategy.
She doesn’t appreciate familiarity from strangers.
Don’t be jealous of her knack for being the center of attention in a roomful of admiring males. She feels it’s only natural for men to pay court to her. She may encourage masculine compliments and indulge in light, innocent flirtations, because her deep need for applause and adulation covers a strange fear that she’s not feminine enough and she must constantly reassure herself that she’s desirable.
