July 23rd to August 21st
Leo is probably one of the more recognized signs of the Zodiac. Many know the standard associations with the Leo personality – wanting to be in the limelight, center of attention and all that jazz. And, somewhat you are correct. But that exuberance is often misjudged as self-centeredness.
The negative energy found in Leo can be explained in two words “too much.” Leos are creative and generous, sometimes to a fault. Some Leos find it difficult to take a back seat in a situation, not because they have to have the front row, but a lot of times because they have a better idea.
Leos know how to be comfortable. They appreciate the personal comforts in life and your Leo friend’s den is probably representative of their excellent taste. On the Leo’s couch you will find the fluffiest pillows – in the newest of styles. Having excellent taste and a quick creative mind, Leos can be easily bored if the subject isn’t to their tastes.
Enjoying a good snooze is very appropriate past time in most Leo’s world! However, once a Leo’s interest has been captured it is held for a long time and cat naps become few and far between. Leos are willing to throw themselves into what captures their interest with all the exuberance of the lioness on the hunt, being great energy to any project.
Sometimes fiery and dominant, Leos don’t normally intentionally steal other people’s thunder, although at times it may seem that way. Leos appreciate physical comfort, but emotional comfort is important to them as well. Always lively, normally upbeat, and full of creative ideas Leos are great friends who can always bring fun into whatever it is you are doing!
Leos are strong in themselves and their emotions, and as such need strong partners. Those born under the sign of Aries or Sagittarius would be Leo’s best matches. Their supportive energies combined with Leo’s proactive tendencies make a strong team. Challenges appear quickly in relationships with either Taurus or Scorpio. Your Opposite, Aquarius could well help you build on your creativity with their large scale thinking.
