♌︎Leo

The Sun in Leo

The Sun is the lasting self, what you are slowly becoming. What Alan Leo wrote of it:

The heart. Warm, generous, faithful and magnetic, you lead from feeling rather than calculation, and others trust you for it. Leo notes that this sign rules through the heart and needs times of solitude to renew its strength.

The colours of this sign: pride, warmth and a heart that wants to shine.

Ruler

The Sun

The fixed mode leads: you are made to hold, to keep and to finish. Your strength is loyalty, your danger stubbornness.

The dates are approximate: the Sun enters each sign at a slightly different hour every year, so people born on the first or last day should check their chart.

In love

In love, Leo is warm, generous and dramatic; it needs admiration and loyalty, and gives its whole heart in return.

At work

At work, Leo needs to shine, to create and to lead; it thrives on the stage, in the arts and in any role with visibility.

Counsel

Shine without needing applause; your light is yours even in the dark.

The Moon in Leo

The Moon is the inner child: moods, habits and what you need to feel at home.

A warm, open and generous personality that tends to rise to responsibility and lead. You are honourable, candid and a sincere lover, with strong intuition and a love of music, poetry, art and fine things.

The Ascendant in Leo

The Ascendant, the sign rising in the east at your birth, is the door through which you meet the world.

Fearless, frank, generous and ambitious, with great vitality. Your life moves quickly, driven by a love of power and a gift for organising. You are sincere, honourable and magnanimous, though proud. Leo says falls come from hasty, passionate impulses, and recovery from firmness and self-control.
