Leo


Leo likes to make a grand entrance when coming into a room, like the star that lives within each and every on of them. They shine and they are graceful and regal, glamorous and proud, and it shows, always. They are also magnanimous and generous to a fault, and they give of themselves so freely because they gain appreciation for it.

Appreciation is a key-motivating factor for Leos, and they’ve been known to make some pretty grand gestures for a moment of applause. They command respect and require admiration, and this is what makes them do the very creative things they do. The expression of their creativity is what Leos live for.

Leo loves a party, and rarely turns down a chance to have fun. There’s a dramatic flair, romance and happiness in everything these larger than life people do. They throw lavish parties and give everyone who attends the royal treatment, because they can be very grandiose in their gestures. They believe they’re very important, yet their presence is warm and sunny and they pour their hearts into whatever they do.

Leos are the great actors, the rulers, and the romantics of the zodiac. No matter what they’re doing, they feel they should have a good time doing it. They can seem very self-centered, because of their need to express themselves. If they can’t emote and demonstrate their greatness they can’t feel the love they crave and thrive on so thoroughly.
