Leo-Zodiac Sign
May 1st, 2008 by shinblueLeo! About Your Sign…
The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative
and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor
of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch’s among humans
as the lion is king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong
willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt
in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in
support of, or in revolt against, the status quo. They are at their most
effective when in a position of command, their personal magnetism and innate
courtesy of mind bringing out the best of loyalty from subordinates. They are
uncomplicated, knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies,
creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will
get whatever they are after. Their followers know where they are with Leonians.
Leonians think and act bigger than others would normally dare; the
ambitiousness of their schemes and idealism sometimes daunt their followers,
their practical hardheadedness and ability to go straight to the heart of any
problem reassures those who depend on them. If Leonians meet with setbacks they
thrive on the adversity.
On the
whole they are powers for good, for they are strongly idealistic, humane, and
beneficent. They have powerful intelligence and are of a broad philosophical,
sometimes religious, turn of mind. Those who are devout may become very
obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with
complete sincerity, to practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as
absurdly out-of-date. These will be found as the ‘lions’ of industries, and in
the forefront of the cutting edge of technologies.
Their
faults can be as large in scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative
Leonian can be one of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying
extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of
temper. If jealously suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use
cunning, lies and trickery to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for
flattery, boastfulness, and bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and
overbearing, and intolerant disdain of underlings; to whom they will
nevertheless delegate the carrying out of minor details in their grandiose
schemes, and from whom they are not above borrowing immoderately if an occasion
necessitates it. Any of these can be characteristic of Leo.
Add to them
a passion for luxury, a lust for power, unlimited sexual
lust, and emotional indulgence, and a character emerges that no one would want
to know either in public life or private. But their pride may go before a fall,
as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low. Fortunately it is rare
that a Leo is so undisciplined as to give way thoroughly to this list of vices,
and their tendencies to them are usually balanced by an innate wisdom. Those
who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence it takes to consciously
and actively overcome them.
In
professional life they do well at any vocation at which there is room at the
top. As politicians they are content with nothing less than a powerful position
in government. In business they may be the chairman of their company’s board,
or at least directors or managers. They are excellent organizers and overseers,
often laying the groundwork for new projects. If from the artisan ranks of
society they will aspire to become the boss, partly because they are ambitious
by nature, partly because they dislike manual labor, preferring to take charge
of others doing it. If artistic, Leos can become stars of stage or screen
(their bent is serious rather than light drama), maestros as musicians where
they will gravitate toward the grand instruments or activities, such as the
organ or conducting of orchestras and as painters; anything grand in conception
and scale appeals to them. Leo women make exceptionally good welfare workers.
In his or
her relations with others the Leo type is open, sincere, genuine and trusting.
Outgoing, spontaneously warm hearted and plain spoken, though never lacking in
kindliness, Leos are more disillusioned than the average if let down by those
they trust. They are not good judges of character and are inclined to
favoritism and an exaggerated faith in their followers which too often ends in
disappointment. They have a strong sex drive and are so attracted to the
opposite sex that they find it hard to be constant; they can be so intensely
sexual as to become dissolute. They may have numerous love affairs for their love of pleasure and beauty is
liable to drive them from one attractive partner to another. They are very much
inclined to deceive. Their marriages may fail for
the same reason, yet they are sincere and generous to their lovers while love
lasts, and will remain attached to their homes so long as it is run for their
benefit. They demand service but are incapable of giving it.
