Question

Please give me details.

Answer 1

good traits

-determined
-charismatic
-theatrical (but hates theatrics)
-loyal friend (true blue)
-big hearted
-generous
-the consummate entertainer & host
-excellent business people (knows how to delegate & follow up)

have been known to be:

-narcissistic/ has to be the center of attention
-lazy
-jealous
-vindictive
-unfaithful (especially when provoked - see "vindictive')
-horrible with money/ flamboyant

basically, Leos can be one or the other or a combination of both. the best way to know a Leo (other than having her/his natal chart done) is to just hang out with one. truth be told, they are as individual as a fingerprint, but there are some characteristics that are distinctly Leo whether they are gregarious or introverted:

-they have a presence that is difficult to not notice, their charisma takes over the room, even when they are low-key.

-they are generous to a fault, & sometimes to their own detriment(Leo rules the heart)

-if they are your friend, you have to do something extremely cruddy to get them not to be.

Answer 2

Leos need a creative self expression, even if its just the way the dress. They are recognised for their style, hair and bling. Initially Leos are quite shy, but once they see a point where they can take charge they will. They are royalty don't you know and are very good at telling other what to do. They are actually very good at finding out who's good at what and delegate. They are natural playboys/girls and love to show out. They take great pride in whatever they do, are or where they come from (if its something worth mentioning of course).

Leos are warm hearted and together with the other fire signs (Aries and Sagittarius) they are impulsive, have a quick temper (get it out of your system and clear the air works for them), honest and very often hard working. Off course you do get some of the big cats that loves to get the females bringing in the goods and is happy to sit and purr and get all the attention.

They do not like to be ignored, but are very loyal and great friends if they like you. You really don't want a Leo as your enemy as they will notice it.

You often find Leos in the flashiest and exclusive places and a few famous ones are:
Madonna, Mick Jagger, Sean Penn, Pete Burns

If you have somebody in mind you might want to look into their whole chart to give you more meat to this person. A great free service can be found at astro.com.

Good luck.

Answer 3

The adoption of this animal's form for the zodiac sign has been attributed to the fact that when the Sun was among its stars in midsummer the lions of the desert left their accustomed haunts for the banks of the Nile, where they could find relief from the heat in the waters of the inundation. Pliny wrote that the Egyptians worshipped the stars of Leo because the rise of their great river was coincident with the Sun's entrance among them. For the same reason the Sphinx is said to have been sculpted with Leo's body and the head of the adjacent Virgo, although Egyptologists maintain that this head represented one of the early kings, or the god Harmachis.

Distinct reference is made to Leo in an inscription of the walls of the Ramesseum at Thebes, which, like the Nile temples generally, was adorned with the animal's bristles, while on the planisphere of Dendera its figure is shown standing on an outstretched serpent. The Egyptian stellar Lion, however, comprised only a part of ours, and in the earliest records some of its stars were shown as a knife, as they now are as a sickle. Kircher gave its title there as Πιμεντεκεων, Cubitus Nili.

The astrological symbol has been supposed to portray the animal's mane, but it also might be the animal's tail. Gaius Julius Hyginus's writing published in 1488 and Albumasar's in 1489 showing this latter member of extraordinary length, twisting between the hind legs and over the back, Hyginus's manuscript properly locating the star Denebola in the end. But the International Dictionary says that this symbol is a corruption of the initial letter of Λεων (Leon). Félix Lajard's Cultes de Mithra mentions the hieroglyph of Leo as among the symbols of Mithraic worship, but how their Lion agreed, if at all, with ours is not known.

Answer 5

Leos are extremely generous, they will do anything for the ones they love at the drop of a dime. They tend to put other people's needs before their own. Leo's are braggarts, and are obsessed with being the center of attention. Leos have no problem about making a fool out of themselves just to get someone to laugh or feel better. They tend to blind to their insensitivity towards others, and just expect people to think they are always joking. Leos tend to be more on the immature side, because of their bubbly nature. They are impressed with people with money, and surround themselves with people who can help them in the future. Leos like to get what they want by their charm. Leos, a lot of the time, think the world revolves around them,and they expect everyone to do everything for them. Leos tend to have their guard up, and use plenty of sarcasm as their defense mechanism

Answer 6

being a lifelong leo, yvonne, i can tell you the truth. we are somewhat egotistical (as opposed to conceited- there is a difference); we generally think we are right- we generally are. people tend to naturally look to us for leadership, and find it in us. we are typically honest and straightforward; dedicated. when we believe in something, we believe completely and often work hard in its support. we are true to our friends; loyal and do not take manipulative, backstabbing people lightly.
we tend to be talented in a variety of areas: poets, artists, writers. we can be analytical, hence our success in fields of psychology. this can sometimes get in the way interpersonally. we can be outgoing and gregarious; we don't always like being the 'center of attention', though some believe otherwise.
we are sexual creatures, greatly enjoying the physical aspects of our relationships, often give better/more than we get. we can be 'advenurous'- depending on the partner. i have found that i, personally, have not had luck in the scorpio men i have been involved with (my ex-husband, for example), they have, however, been good friends. there has just been something that....i can't explain it. the astrological sign of a person should never get in the way. i found that out about scorpio's later. i never asked in the beginnings, although it seems sagittarians and aries best suit me...
well, hope this helps in whatever you're seeking, even just info.

Answer 7

Each sign of the zodiac has an "age". Aries is the baby and Pisces is the eccentric old person (maybe a bit senile, but I wouldn't say that). In this scheme Leo is the young adult, very full of themselves, optimistic and ambitious. Full of energy and love of life, but can easily become disillusioned if they don't get enough attention and success.

Answer 8

i imagine Sagittariuses are strong for Leo in case you want an trouble-free going courting. yet Leo and scorpio are strong too even besides the undeniable fact that maximum literature say they're a foul mix, it may tournament. My bf is Leo and im Scorpio. ITs no longer a suitable courting yet its under no circumstances boring and there is excitement. And the loyalty is large. IF there is an indication that could want to face up to a Leo and delivers him hearth proper back with love jumbled jointly identity say Scorpio because we are both obdurate yet dependable.

Answer 9

i'm a leo and this is what i know:

"leo, the lion, is the one and only king of the zodiac. ruled by none other than the sun, leo has a bright and fiery persona. you are a natural, willful leader... and you display considerable impatience toward those who fail to recognize your royal status.

for all your leonine antics, you tend to be easily wounded. your emotions are fragile, and even the weakest opponent can hurt you (and your pride) very deeply. when this happens, you roar! this display of power brings you the attention you crave, which soothes you. bursting with creative fire, leos make brilliant actors, in life as well as onstage.

the lion's passionate nature means you are prone to fall easily in -- and out of -- love. you tend to be as protective in your love life as you are spontaneous and dramatic. this is a confusing combination, and you are sometimes accused of insensitivity and testiness. however, your healthy self-image is soon restored, assisted by your well-developed sense of humour.

leos, beware: you have the capacity to be either a caring guardian to your "subjects"... or a self-centred megalomaniac! you must contain your fire and let it kindle a desire for deep, mystical enlightenment. then you will ahcieve the brilliance that is your astrological birthright."

Answer 10

Leo's are a cardinal fire sign, it is the purest and most basic form. Leo represents the radiance of the sun it's ruler. Leo is the fire under control, leo speaks of warmth, and creativity, leo despises meaness or pettiness, you are dependable, courageous, you characterize the lion in every aspect.
