Character:

There is nothing difficult or complicated about Leo; he is the King - the boss, the leader. He knows he is far better at organizing everyone’s else’s life than they are; and if they accept this, all will be well. The sign has obvious faults: the Leo can be intolerant, pompus and over-dogmatic; so he should make a habit of reassessing his opinion as often as posible, and make good use of the natural, spontaneous, warm-hearted charm which he undoubtly possesses.

At their best, Leos are affectionate, enthusiastic, cheerful, optimistic people who, in the popular phrase, ‘bring the sunshine into other people’s lives’ - indeed in many ways this is their mission in life. It is a valuble quality, and they should not neglect it.

Rather surprisingly, Leos are often sensitive and easily hurt. Not that they will show it : if a Leo is treated unjustly, he will show great magnanimity. But if he is really angered, he will put on the full regal act, at once ‘mounting the throne’ and making quite sure that the impertinent fool who has been stupid enough to consider himself and equal, steps back to his proper, lower, station! Whatever the Leo background, he will have a kingdom of some sort.

Leos have a pronounced flair for drama: some make scenes in order to be the centre of attention. But their theatrical bent can be externalized in more positive and lively ways - in dressing splendidly, doing things in a big way, organizing outings, and altogether making sure they get the best of everything - as well as providing the best they can for others. Leos are extravagant; money slips through their fingers.

Leos are not only adept at organizing other people, they themselves are hard workers, and can set a good example. This facet of the Leo personality is emphasized when Leo is the Sun-sign
