Leo is truly a royal sign from the whole circle of the Zodiac. They were born to rule and command, to exercise their will, severely punish the guilty and generously forgive the repentant. They live next to fire and conflict under the motto: “Faith and Truth.” Deception and hypocrisy are the only things that the royal sign never forgives. With his soft feline gait, he confidently walks through life, but at the right moment he can overtake the enemy with one jump of a panther and punish him with a strong blow of his paw.
Characteristic
This sign includes those whose date of birth is in the middle of summer. This period begins on July 23, and ends on August 23. When describing the character of Leo, it is important to take into account the decade in which the representative of the royal sign is born.
In the first ten days of the cycle (July 23 - August 3) under the decisive influence of Saturn, strong personalities appear, inclined to the perception of everything mystical. They have a passionate character and can not stand when they are forced to something. Important years in the fate of such people: 19, 39, 57 and 76 years.
On those born in the second decade of the sign (August 4-12) besides the Sun, Jupiter influences. Such a planetary patron gives the character of judgment and power. Those who appeared during this period have good mathematical abilities and a tendency to analysis. The determining years in their life will be: 19, 36, 40, 70, 76.
Celebrating their birthday from August 13 to 23 are under the influence of Mars. The red planet enhances the power of the sign.These hot natures love to command and control, have good physical shape and often find the use of their forces in the army. Important periods in fate fall at 15, 19, 30, 35, 36, 57, 60 and 76 years.
For all representatives of this zodiac sign, Sunday will be a good day of the week.
On Saturday, it’s better to refrain from fateful decisions. Lucky numbers: 1, 5, 9, 11.
Leo always looks royally: he has a leisurely imposing gait, widely spread shoulders, strong muscles. As a rule, a sports or rather strong physique. The eyes may have the shape of a cat, often skin with freckles, golden hue. Hair may be curly. Lionesses sometimes involuntarily emphasize belonging to the sign with their curls in a magnificent hairstyle reminiscent of the mane of the king of animals.
The male
Fiery, passionate nature is very conceited and not indifferent to compliments. They love the game of the public, make wide gestures for the sake of self-satisfaction and praise, they are distinguished by some theatricality in behavior. Leo is very active and can perform many tasks. Do not be surprised if such a friend of yours sincerely considers himself the center of the universe. He is not mistaken in this belief, because it is difficult to find an equally successful and vivid representative of the sign among all twelve constellations.
At the same time, this wise overlord has a very vulnerable ego. He is not at all capable of perceiving criticism, so for good relations with representatives of the sign it is worth using only praise. If a person was able to hurt Leo’s self-esteem, he will absolutely collapse all communication with a tactless person, and, if necessary, can quite painfully repay the offender.
He loves to protect and patronize, give advice, be an expert. Sometimes they take so much upon themselves that they begin to complain that all matters lie on their shoulders. But they do this only out of their inherent love of posturing. In fact, the energy and health of Lviv can only be envied. They will be surprised and may even be extremely offended at the offer of help.
Leo's man has a difficult relationship with finances. He may be able to make good money, but usually he is immoderate in expenses. He loves and knows how to make gorgeous gifts to his dear people, but he himself will not refuse a meaningful presentation. In any case, no matter where the debris of a debit loan starts, this generous sign will be able to reduce the balance in its favor. Moreover, Leo’s love of money is not present in itself, as the goal of accumulation and enrichment.
He needs funds for financial independence, to allow himself everything that Leo loves so much: beautiful women nearby, a powerful car, excellent delicacies and a comfortable stay.
Female
The woman Leo is used to devoting a lot of time to taking care of herself, for which there is a whole arsenal of expensive products on her dressing table. She loves to try all the latest in the beauty industry. But in fashion she is an adherence to her style honed over the years, invariably luxurious, noble and seductive at the same time. Her good figure and noble appearance should be emphasized only by expensive quality things. If Lioness does not have money for brands, she will acquire catchy fakes of famous brands.
Representatives of the sign are honest and open and do not tolerate cheating. Thanks to their intelligence and erudition, they have many men in friends, because with a secular, educated lady with a broad outlook, you can chat about anything in any company. Women are less fortunate in this regard, since Leo shows less favor to them. She is hated by the traditional attributes of the female team, such as intrigue, gossip, squabbles. She simply has nothing to discuss with colleagues and acquaintances. She will not talk for a long time about the fashionable style of the bag, but will go and get the most chic.
Such girls like to be in the spotlight, embarrassment to them is unfamiliar. They consider themselves worthy of the best in everything from a career to the choice of a companion to life. By the way, they are not in a hurry with the latter, because marriage is a serious matter for them. They are used to giving themselves one hundred percent to everything for whatever they take. It can be a family, work, hobby, and more often all together. Often they have nervous exhaustion due to this. But, thanks to the unique physical data, the female Leo is very quickly restored. Two or three days in a luxury spa hotel, and now she is ready to turn the mountains again.
Advantages and disadvantages
If we talk about the pros and cons of the character of the representatives of this sign, then the facts suggest that the positive features carry a lot of good for those around Leo. Negative qualities, as a rule, turn out to be destructive for the owner himself. The fire sign is endowed with very attractive characteristics.
- Generosity. There are legends about the wide soul of Lions and their love. This sign has very high success rates in financial matters. Its characteristic representatives do not skimp, believing that the more you give, the more you can get in return. They easily provide very valuable advice on issues that they themselves know very well. Often such valuable advice brings consultants significant profit or success in business.
Generous Lions use every opportunity of their influence, if possible, to promote close people.
- Generosity. They are most willing to those who are considered weaker than themselves. They gladly forgive those who sincerely repented of their mistakes and errors. For a long time to keep evil, even against enemies, is not in their habit. If Leo is successful, he is ready to share its fruits with literally everyone on his journey. Only when surrounded by positive people can he be truly happy.
- Independence. It can be considered as a positive quality, because it borders on the strength and the habit of relying only on yourself. At the same time, this aspect of character prevents Leo from successfully working in a team. Sooner or later he will pull the blanket over himself, achieving leadership positions. At the same time, he should not forget that sometimes the work of the whole team is sometimes necessary, because it is impossible to do everything and exercise total control.
- Courage. Quickly make a difficult decision, take on a big responsibility - this is in the customs of Lviv. In the most hopeless situation, a fiery sign will not panic. At a minimum, he will find several non-standard solutions for any situation.
Despite such strong positive traits, Leos have paradoxical weaknesses that contradict their abilities. However, if he is aware of them and works on himself, then negative manifestations of character and their consequences can be avoided. Contrary to high intelligence, such wise and practical personalities do not know how to understand people at all. Contributes to this and the love of compliments, sometimes not very sophisticated, rude flattery in the eye. Vanity prevents Leo from making real friends among those who are telling the truth. But he often surrounds himself with fake people who are ready to obsequiously fawn before him for the sake of receiving part of the influence and personal gain.
Leo loves to control people and dictate his will. They, with a poor combination of planets at birth, are also overly arrogant, self-centered. Such qualities make him see a despot and a tyrant who disregards the opinions of others and is guided only by his own arguments.
The frivolity of Lions in relation to money can play a cruel joke with him. At best, such people live on credit, beyond their means. They chase prestigious expensive things, even if they cannot afford it. At worst, they are very gamblers.
With their total unluckiness in this kind of entertainment, a hot-tempered sign is better to completely bypass gaming establishments.
Symbols, elements and talismans
The sign of Leo is controlled by the Sun and the element of fire associated with it. Like a powerful luminary that has flashes on the surface and magnetic storms, representatives of this zodiac sign are prone to mood swings and flashes of anger. Often their feelings and emotions obscure their minds and come first in decision-making.
The sun gives the Lions a powerful energy that can control their course of fate. It is not surprising that they are so attracted to fire, various light sources, brilliant things - everything that has radiant energy. Talismans and various solar symbols help to replenish its reserves.
The fire of Lions is not like dying coals or the heat of a small fire. It is always an all-devouring flame, a difficultly controlled alarm torch flaring up from the slightest blow of the wind.
The energy of the fire sign is given by black color, as well as scarlet, red, purple, orange, yellow and golden. They can be used in clothing, accessories and room decor. Good items for everyday wear and precious metal items - gold.
The months that correspond to the sign are July and August - an unusually generous and fruitful time in naturecorresponding to the main characteristics of Lviv. According to the Druid calendar, the most suitable energy tree is poplar, cypress and oak.
The right mascots for the representatives of the sign will be objects with the image of a lion or in the shape of a feline silhouette. It can be objects from natural stones, paintings, accessories. The symbols corresponding to the sign are a swan, a ladybug, an eagle, signs of royal authority (crown, rod). Antiques also carry powerful energy: ancient family decorations, orders and awards, coins and medals. It is important that they belong to a particular close genus.
Governing planet and its influence
Born under the influence of the Sun, Leos possess pride and courage, generosity and an optimistic outlook on life. The patron planet endowed them with excellent health and an almost inexhaustible supply of energy. This is a very stable and constant sign, which is interpreted very unambiguously. There are no half-tones in his characterization: to fall in love like a queen, to lose is like a million. Excessiveness and uncompromising Lviv literally affects everything. Often this quality serves them poorly, since life in all its diversity is not so clearly defined and does not consist of black and white colors.
The sun gives Lviv vanity and generosity, crystal honesty and love for flattery.
Such opposite qualities are possible among representatives of a sign with an undeveloped consciousness. To enhance the positive qualities and smooth out the negative, they need to be carefully worked out, but to begin with awareness. If Leo does not have sufficient spiritual experience for this, then his pride turns into pride; frankness - in the absence of tact and rudeness; generosity becomes indifference and connivance.
There are also three planets that have a fairly strong influence on the fire sign - these are Mars, Mercury and Jupiter. The first two reinforce negative character traits, while Jupiter smooths out unfavorable trends. He is the patron saint of those born in the middle of the zodiacal period of the sign’s activity from August 3 to 13.
Matching stones
Each natural mineral carries a special, powerful energy. This means that he can be an assistant to his owner or, conversely, impede the achievement of goals and destructive effect on life. The most rare and valuable stones that emphasize the royal grandeur and the unique fate of the representatives of this zodiac sign are considered the most suitable for the Lions. The diamond, emerald, ruby, topaz and amber, as well as chrysolite and opal will strengthen the energy of the wards of the Sun.
When choosing the most suitable stone, the exact date of birth of its future owner should be taken into account. Born from July 23 to August 1, rhinestone, sapphire (not blue), onyx and alexandrite are most suitable. They will be able to soften the violent outbursts of Leo, to tune in a peaceful manner, to bring to harmony with themselves and others.
Citrine, jadeite, jade and sardonyx will become natural helpers that were born on August 2-12. These stones contribute to establishing business contacts, developing the ability to negotiate. They will also help in building family happiness due to the development of the ability of their wearer to better understand others.
It is not bad for lions born in the last phase of the sign from August 13 to 23 to have an emerald, beryl and carnelian as their amulet. These minerals will help suppress aggression and make a wise decision to get out of the most complicated situation.
Additional amulets for Leo can serve as red coral, rose quartz, fire opal, bloody ruby and pyrite. It is worth taking into account the color of the stones. Preference should be given to minerals in red and yellow, avoiding blue.
White color is also unsuccessful for representatives of the zodiac sign.
Name selection
When choosing a name for a child, they often rely on his harmony and meaning. It should be remembered that each name also carries a special energy. It may be consistent with the sign of the Zodiac and its eastern animal patron, or it may not be entirely suitable for a person born in a certain period.
For the Leo boy, the most suitable are the names: Albert, Artemy, Bogdan, George, Danil, Ivan, Ilya, Cyril, Leo, Peter, Robert, Roman, Rostislav, Yaroslav and Ian.
The girls who were born under the constellation Leo will bring good luck to the names: Alla, Alina, Nika, Daria, Diana, Isabella, Christina, Valeria, Nadezhda, Rosalia, Rostislav, Julianna, Ioannina.
Relationship in love and marriage
Lions are simply in love with love, cannot stay alone for a long time, therefore they often make fatal mistakes when choosing the wrong people. Amorous and passionate, for life usually have many full-fledged romantic stories. But for one-night adventures they have no inclination. In order to be in the same bed, they need an emotional connection with a partner.
They endure each parting very hard, can take a long time to leave the gap, and then suddenly find solace in the arms of a new love. Moreover, each relationship is sincerely perceived as the most important in life. In his failures in his personal life, Leo, with his characteristic vanity, is inclined to blame circumstances, a partner, but not himself. In fact, the notorious jealousy and hot temper interfere with harmony, because of which they tend to instantly break off relations under the influx of emotions. Then the unbridled, but easygoing Leo regrets what he did, but too proud to admit his wrong and apologize.
Leo very thoroughly approaches the creation of a family, leisurely with the choice of a companion. With the maximalism of the fiery sign, the future partner should be perfect in everything. Not only meet the intellectual level and external needs, but also be diversified, understanding, supportive, with similar interests and outlooks on life.
They are often called “princesses” and “princesses”, because they require the presence of mutually exclusive qualities from a partner.
So, it is important for them that the partner be attractive and in demand among representatives of the opposite sex, but at the same time be distinguished by modesty and virtue. An excellent appearance should be complemented with comprehensive farming skills. And love and care for common children should not allow one of the spouses to degrade, allowing them to remain in demand as an expert and an interesting personality. Needless to say, to find a person with such opposite characteristics is practically not possible. But if Leo meets his ideal, he makes every possible effort to conquer it.And having achieved a location, he certainly will not let go of his tenacious paws.
Compatible with other zodiac signs.
For harmonious relations, Leo needs an earthly, understanding, patient partner, able to tirelessly sincerely admire this bright charismatic personality. They find their happiness with representatives of a kindred fire element. But due to the similarity of temperaments, such couples will have to overcome many difficulties in understanding and learn to find compromises.
Leo has excellent chances to build a harmonious relationship with Aries, despite the stubborn nature of both signs. They will be happy to support each other and warm relations in the family circle. They should stop fighting for a leading position and learn to recognize themselves as members of one team, where everyone can perform the functions that are best obtained from him.
Leo and Taurus with the same life goals and views on many aspects are difficult to get along together, since their character flaws are similar. In addition, when they live together, they perform precisely those acts and evoke from each other precisely those emotions that they cannot tolerate the most.
Leo can have a vivid romance with Gemini or wonderful companionship. But their views on core values are too diverse. Brilliantly intelligent, sociable, lightweight Gemini impresses Leo, who loves entertainment. But with life together they will face too many difficulties, including everyday problems that both partners, with their contempt for routine, will shift to each other.
Cancer is too dominant, dull and calm for the ardent Leo. Between them, interesting relationships can arise that are built on the complementarity of opposites. However, when moving to a new level, many pitfalls can be found.
If the couple manages to overcome them with due consideration of the negative sides of the characters, a prosperous family can form.
Two Lions are too similar, and everyone considers them a beautiful couple. Despite the maximum mutual understanding, it is difficult for them to be together. The appetites and ambitions of the two royal persons are too great. Great wisdom and the ability to make reasonable compromises are needed in order for the spouses to be able to painlessly realize their requests outside the family.
Virgo and Leo are created to build a strong family. They can find common ground as part of caring for the home and addressing pressing issues.

From the category of the best combinations of signs - the union of Leo and Sagittarius.

Common life goals and priorities will lead to the creation of a strong family.
Capricorn and Leo will be great business partners or workmates. In personal relationships, they will have a hard time. How passionate one partner is, so cold and prudent is the other.

A harmonious union awaits Leo and Aquarius, but only if Leo is a man and Aquarius is a woman. Then the girlfriend will balance the severity of the character of her companion and bring ease to the relationship. Gradually, she will be able to soften his temper, and the spouse will be grateful for your understanding.
Together they will be able to teach each other a new look at the surrounding reality.
The smallest compatibility will be in a pair of Leo women and Pisces men. A soft satellite, detached from earthly cares, cannot justify the lioness's hopes placed on him. When she begins to realize her ambitious ambitions herself, he will leave himself from a lack of attention and intimacy, and then he can even find a milder and understanding lady.
Career and business

He also often considers the cost of advertising to be superfluous, as he is too confident in his genius and uniqueness of the company.
Leo does not fit a routine, low-paying job, where earnings will not depend on the result of work and efforts. An exception may be to work in a place where many rich and famous people revolve. There Leo will be able to easily make useful contacts and get a tempting offer. He may also agree to a position unworthy of his royal greatness at the very beginning of his career with reliable prospects for advancement. You can be sure that he will not stay long in his post.
If a fire sign fails to realize its ambitions as an employee, he will prefer to open his own business. In this area, Lions are well versed and find the niche they need.
