Leo – the Lion

The fierce Leo, symbolized by the Lion, overflows with charisma. She exudes such charm and confidence that simply demands the attention of everyone in the room. When the Leo talks, everybody listens. The lion is the king of the beasts, and this noble role translates to natives of Leo. As King, the Leo stands tall among his peers and can naturally assume a role of leadership. When in the midst of chaos and anarchy, most look to the Leo to provide a calming and invigorating presence. When not in a position of leadership, the Leo becomes somewhat of an enforcer and, to some extent, adopts a motherly role, serving to mitigate conflicts and to keep the peace. Born under the Fire Sign, the Leo is imbued with a natural tendency to become passionate about all her works, no matter how small or insignificant. While other zodiac signs are ruled by planets, the Leo is governed only by the Sun; further testament to his ruling nature. A titan among men, the Leo’s magnetic personality garners the praise and attention of those around her and is used to having others orbit them in their daily life. A Leo is a strong-willed and persistent person; he expects the best of himself and others and will persevere through any obstacle that hinders him from achieving his goals. She is stubborn in that regard and will actively pursue her ambitions even when she is alone. When faced with failure, the Leo stands beaten but not defeated and walks proud with his head held up towards the one thing he calls master, the Sun.

The Leo in August

August seems to be a lucky month for the Leo’s personal life as he will be presented with many opportunities to better himself as well as his relationships with others. She should accept her role as leader and mentor and be ready to provide counsel and much needed advice to her peers. He should capitalize on his improved relationships and be sure to go out with friends and family often to ease him from the stress of work. Her interactions with others will skyrocket this month, so she should grow some courage and take chances. He must take care not to let his passions get the better of him and give only what is needed. August isn’t free of complications though as many difficulties are in store for her this month. The Leo will face many tests and challenges that require him to perform at his very best. As a Leo, doing her best and giving her all will come naturally, but there will be times when she must go beyond her limits and, in so doing, improve on her skills exponentially. A careful balance of work and play will be needed this month so much so that he will be forced to make a decision between the two. When in doubt, Leos must remember the goals they have set for themselves and to keep their priorities in check. Money will also be tight this month if the Leo is not careful. While he always pays his debts, owing money this month would be unwise. The Leo will be presented with many opportunities to spend coin; remove thought from head and remember that one’s present frugality will be rewarded, in kind, with future gifts. The last few days of the month will be difficult but rewarding. Leos must remember to stay grounded and to be grateful for whatever blessings they receive but never forget their role as Kings.

Sexy Secrets

As the lords of their domain, the key to a Leo’s heart is to treat them like your world revolves around them. Spend lots of time together and shower the Leo with compliments and flirtatious flattery. Go out often and in different places; the more fresh and exotic, the better. When giving gifts, be sure that they are the best that you can give. This does not mean the gift has to be extravagant however, material wealth pales in comparison to gifts with a deeper and more sensual meaning. A Leo is very expressive and direct and you will know if your advances are well-received. Their expectations of you may be high and any personal criticism will be met with loathing. Prove to be as ambitious as they are, and see your efforts bear fruit.
