| The Bright Side
This aspect of Leo is very bright indeed, for this is a personality very much attuned to the vital life-giving qualities of the Sun. Flamboyant The typical Leo personality is flamboyant and generous with tremendous charm and magnanimity of spirit which draws people close. The fixed quality of the sign, meanwhile, helps to restrain the Fire element's tendency to over-exuberance. Leos are also loyal, full of self-assurance and hard-working, being excellent organizers (so long as they are the boss), Leo's ability to play hard and the value placed on pleasure makes for an excellent companion.

KING Leos are warm, sunny and outgoing but just love to be adored and looked up to. Those who fail to recognize a Leo's innate need to be superior may find themselves on the receiving end of a right royal snub, or the victims of typically aristocratic wrath.

The Dark Side
This aspect of the Leo personality usually emerges when Leo is being ignored, which may result in sulking or when inferior mortals challenge the divine right to rule. Leos can be very self-opinionated and consequently bombastic and overbearing. One of Leo's most characteristic traits is pride, and there is a tendency too, towards pomposity and snobbery. Touchy It can be difficult to spot when Leo is hurt (and this sign is surprisingly touchy): but the sudden drop in temperature as Leo retreats back into regal dignity provided a clue. In long-term disagreements, Leo can also prove to be something of a formidable enemy |

Back Complaints Leos have an enthusiasm which will lead them to put their back out for anybody, except themselves. They do not like to be reminded that they are made of all-too-brittle bones, will often moan about a bad luck while doing very little about it. Radiant and energetic, Leos bring so much light into other people's lives that they can be blind to the needs of their own, especially where health is concerned. Their need to be appreciated drives them on to endless feats of achievement and because they have so much natural vitality, they refuse to ease up. VitalityWhile some will approach middle life with more energy than those half their age, Leo will have to come to terms with their own mortality sooner or later. If not, the rich foods and wines they find irresistible will be their undoing.

Excesses Leo rules the back and the heart and it is these two areas that are most vulnerable to Leonine excesses. Exercise and a careful diet are obvious remedies for an expanding waistline. Leos often go on until they drop. so regular holidays away from it all will re-charge those exhausted batteries. There is no unhappier sight than an unadmired or unloved Leo. This can cause tremendous depression and may bring on nagging back troubles, as a sign of lack of the emotional support they so greatly need. Back problems can be added to if the Leo becomes overweight: a daily brisk walk will tone up the whole body, keeping the muscles in the back supple so that they are more able to take the strain.

| Expansive,
generous and caring, Leos revel in love affair and all things romantic.
They are passionate and demonstrative and like nothing better than
spoiling their loved ones. Emotions Happiness knows no bound for Leos in love. Their big hearts and warm emotions really come into their own when they fall for someone. Because they value love above all else, Leos are naturally faithful and very loyal. But they can sometimes almost overwhelm their partners with adoration. they invest all their emotions in their love affairs but if things go wrong, they come down to earth with a bump. Once a Leo heart is broken, it takes a long time to mend. Problem can arise if a Leo forgets that he or she is one half only of a partnership and begins to act in the role of boss. Although outwardly they seem to be bursting with self-assurance and confidence and often revel in being the centre of attention, underneath their showy exterior Leos can be very sensitive but usually they hate to admit it. Their fiery feelings and expansive emotions have to find and outlet and they yearn to express their innermost thoughts to their partner. However they almost always expect an equally heartfelt sentiment to be returned by the loved one. |
Leos spare no expense when courting a new love. They are very demonstrative and loyal, and are almost continually in the throes of passion, remaining ery faithful. They only lose their sparkle when love begins to fade.
