Leo

──────── ✦ ────────

Leo has a strong taste for leadership. They are theatrical. Showpeople at heart, they have a keen sense of the dramatic. They cannot help but imagine themselves always at the centre of attention. In any kind of gathering, they endeavour to dominate the conversation, often becoming dogmatic and overbearing in the way they put their opinions across.

Leo finds it difficult to concede that others may know as much as they do about one of their favourite subjects. They are extremely good organisers and have a talent for directing others and for getting the very best out of them. They are great optimists.

But they do have faults. If they are not receiving sufficient attention and admiration, they are inclined to demand it. They become noisy, sulky, or boisterous. Too much applause and acknowledgement often makes them conceited and patronising, sometimes even snobbish and boastful.

Leo has a strong sense of justice and great pride. They find it difficult to do anything underhanded. They are truly sincere people, but mainly they don't want their actions to reflect on their image. They like to think they are above the need to be shady and petty.

At their best, Leo is generous, warm, and outgoing. They have a great capacity for attracting friendship, loyalty, and respect. Although they expect others to continuously praise their good points, they are always the first to admire and encourage the talents of others.

Leo is ambitious, and usually seeks a career in an area where there is a chance for them to become a leader or public figure. They like to do things with a flourish.

What makes Leo tick though, is very simple. It's the biggest heart imaginable. They are wonderfully warm and lastingly loving. They have a rich sense of humour. Leos will offer you the earth and give you their hearts.
