Do You Know About Astrology Leo Zodiac Sign?

This is important, since once we get to Sagittarius and beyond, ego identity is challenged by more transpersonal ways of being. But for now Leo needs to enjoy its self-importance and its ability to unabashedly celebrate its attention-grabbing individuality.Wanna Be a Rock-and-Roll Star? Although fame and acclaim becomes a serious quest for Capricorn (another go-getter member of the cardinal group), Leo is the first sign to care about being favorably known and even idolized by others. It seems that once we feel secure at the root of our being (Cancer at its best), then we’re ready to fearlessly express ourselves to an audience Iarger than just our family. The Lion anticipates,long before it has ig-nited its ambitious nature, that someday it will make a name for itself in society. It observes people who have already made it big in the world, and it knows that it, too, wants to enjoy an equally distinguished life.Fixed signs have the ability to work long and hard to reach welldefined goals. They aredetermined to unfold their lives in a purposeful manner-they just don’t "go with the flow" and wait to see what happens. They instead attempt to take charge of their destinies, being the control freaks that they are. Supremely confident Leo may make all this look like loads of fun, but the Lion is nonetheless serious about taking on prestigious roles of great social influence.

Leo aims to be a superstar, the one to outshine all the rest.The entertainment field magnetically draws Leo in, as this fire sign was born to please a crowd.Hollywood is crawling with Leo types. Many of them, sadly, may never receive the accolades (or even the Os-cars) they deserve, because of the highly competitive nature of the film industry (a business where luck and connections play an even greater role than talent alone). Even in jobs that aren’t meant to entertain us, Leo still exhibits a flair for being expressive and even a bit showy (think of Leo types happily working at Tiffany’s or selling faguars in fancy showrooms-the Lion has a thing for luxury items). If Leo doesn t ever see itself on the silver screen-even though acting comes easily to this sign (Dustin Hoffman and Peter O’Toole are both gifted Leos)-another venue can be the Broadway stage or the equally theatrical music industry. Wowing and dazzlinga mesmerized crowd of fans-and Leo knows how to work a room-is a dream come true for the Lion. Being a natural exhibitionist, Leo will do whatever it takes to pour its creative vitality out into the world to solicit an enthused, high-energy response. Due to its childlike awe of it-self, Leo loves to make a big fuss when it announces, "Hey world, lookat this fabulous thing I’ve just done!"Here Comes the Sun The Sun is the "planet" that astrology associates with Leo (of course, the Sun is really a gloriously shining star of primary importance to life, much like the Lion fancies itself to be). Both planet and sign have something to say about our ego, our willpower, our need for recognition, and our ability to be vibrantly self-expressive.

Both are astrological symbolsof warmth, of heat that steadily comes from our creative fires within. It’s hard not to notice the Sun once it has risen; the same goes for the Lion, once it has climbed the ladder of success. The astrological Sun also relates to our integrity and our pride. Leo is a sign very much concerned with self-dignity and getting respect from others.Actually, the Sun is less able than Leo to laugh at itself and to become a little kid having fun. Strongly solar types are not necessarily gleeful, and they view themselves more as authority figures in commanding positions. Being held in high esteem is important to the Sun
(as it is for Leo), and thus it’s a planet that will seldom clown around in the amusing manner that Leo does to steal the show (think of comical Leos like Lucille Ball and Steve Martin). The Sun is the "big cheese" of the solar system, with all the plan-ets-like loyal subjects-revolving around this central power source. Leo shares a bit of this attitude, as well. IGowing how to flatter in order to get its way, the Lion is probably better at engaging the cooperation of people than is the Sun, who’d probably rather take control of mat-ters without assistance. Leo wants to direct a big project, but it must have a loyal crew to help out with all the necessary details that ensure a successful performance. This fire sign thus learns how to keep everyone happy within their roles. Yet spreading cheer and goodwill doesn’t sound as much like the Sun, a planet that’s even more self-directed in action than Leo. Still, this planet underscores much of what vitalityexuding Leo is all about.

ClosingCotnments Wherever Leo is in our chart points to where we need to give in to oururge to show off our talents. We afe to let others see how individualized we are. Leo is a sign that remains true to itself and wort’t accept being told by society what to become just to blend in better. Le doesn’t want to get lost in a crowd. (’i{lways wear something in bright red," advises Leo, "that way they can’t miss you.") The fixity in Leo helps us recognize our limits regarding how much of ourselves we dare release to the world before we begin to overwhelm others (suchunchecked fiery output can consume too much energy from others, who eventually suffer exhaustion from overexposure to Leo energyit’s like getting a nasty sunburn).Actually, we can start off feeling self-conscious wherever our Leo energy is in our chart. Our goal, as we mature, is to dev,elop enough self-esteem to shine in front of others without being the frrst ones togive ourselves bad reviews. Without sufflcient self-confidence, Leo’s energy quickly burns out. What we present here must come from our heart as an expression of our essence. Honoring its individudity is as important to Leo as remaining playful in life (together, these *ill heh all Leo types stayyoung at heart). F.luous Lno Tvpss
