Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac. They are the rulers of their kingdom (or at least they think). The Lion is the symbol and Fire is their Element. You can certainly hear the Lion roar when they make an entrance. The world is the Lion’s stage, and they put themselves right in the center. They certainly have a flair for the dramatic, and though drama is their flair, they are a pleasure to be around. The Lion has a magnetic attraction about them. People enjoy their company but they can be a bit commanding. Their enthusiasm and eagerness is endless. They are the king of the jungle.

The Lion is very powerful mover and shaker. Seek out a Leo to be on the team of the next project and you will surely have the edge. Being a natural leader is high on the list of a Lion's qualities. Their enthusiasm may be overwhelming at times and can come off as overpowering and arrogant. Don't be fooled though, they can motivate with the best of them and have great organizing skills. They mean business. They are ruled by the Sun. It’s no wonder they think the universe revolves around them.

A Leo is very determined and ready for the most difficult challenges. Their love for life is precious and they want to show the world how wonderful it can be. When set on a goal, there is relentless drive. If you’re around when they charge, you’d better be ready to stand back or charge alongside. They mean to succeed. Their demeanor may be vain and tough skinned, but that’s the name of the game for them.

Leo is very self expressive and have creative juices flowing in the veins. Sometimes Leo’s drive may not have a goal at all, but be sure they will arrive at somewhere notable. They have a passion for life and are warmhearted. As lovers they can be very romantic and focus all that enthusiasm toward their partner. Performing in front of a group is essential for Leo, and that goes with physical activities such as sports.

The Lion is not glorious all the time. At times the Lion may seem arrogant, vain and haughty. But the upside to Leo may certainly outweigh the negative. The Lion is very a warm, generous, natural leader and noble with a tender touch. They are sure to be a good and loyal partner that anyone will enjoy.
