Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, ruled by the Sun, and symbolized by the lion. Leos are often the center of attention and the life of the party because they love to be in control. They love nothing more than to be front and center, no matter what the event. Leos are born leaders who are rarely afraid to make big moves because they are so confident and courageous in their actions. They are the ones that make decisions that often scare others and they have no problem making these decisions very swiftly.

A Leo’s great intelligence is part of what helps him or her take control so easily. Another part is that they are very philosophical people. However, they do tend to stick with traditional thinking, something more liberal thinkers might see as old fashioned.

Maybe it is this control or the philosophical thinking, but Leos always survive under the direst of conditions. They will make the best of any situation and persevere.

Astrologers often refer to Leos the “eternal children” of the zodiac because they are so affectionate and often live for the moment. Gregarious and outgoing, they are so very loyal and their ability to give love is almost as strong as their ability to take command and lead.

Because they love being the center of attention, Leos are born entertainers. Like the Sun, they are bright and shining individuals to which others will be automatically drawn. They have a flare for being creative, dramatic, and truly enjoy the limelight. Leos are also highly concerned about their image, so acting or some other type of performing is an excellent career field for them.

Although Leos possess many great characteristics, like other signs, they also have some weaknesses. Some people may see a Leo’s command and confidence as arrogant and they may appear to be self-centered and bossy. Also, if Leo’s feel that their image is not as high as they would like, they may resort to deceit to improve it.

Leo children are confident and usually have a happy disposition. They love the spotlight, so letting him or her participate in the arts, sports, or anything that puts them at the center of attention is good. They are warm children and while they may seem certain, they still need to feel safe and have a stable home life filled with routine. Other children may see your little Leo as bossy when trying to control everything, but be careful with criticism. Leo children see criticism as a huge blow to their ego.

Physically, Leos are susceptible to injuries in their back and spine. This may be due to stress or exertion.

Famous Leos include Lucille Ball, Madonna, Robert DeNiro, Robert Redford, Alfred Hitchcock, Dustin Hoffman, Mick Jagger, Napoleon, Jerry Garcia, Dorothy Parker, Bill Clinton, Neil Armstrong, Emily Bronte, Arnold Schwarzennegger, Herbert Hoover, Percy B. Shelley, Hulk Hogan, Peter Jennings, Whitney Houston, Benito Mussolini, Jerry Falwell, Fidel Castro, Jackie Kennedy, and Davey Crockett.

Leos are great leaders, although some may see that leadership ability as overbearing. However, their liveliness, loyalty, and love make Leos endearing to others.
