The lion is the natural symbol of kings and rulers, so it’s no wonder that Leos are self-confident, and obvious leaders. They make good friends or lovers, putting their heart into every relationship. They’re generous and loyal, self-confident and attractive, and have the ability of uniting different groups of people to lead them towards a shared cause.

Leos have a great deal of respect for those in authority or power, and are often interested in politics. They’re almost impossible to bully. They like to be in charge, often ruffling a few feathers to get there, and they’re good at delegating to others. Their ambition and drive will have them seeing any project they undertake through to completion.

As a Fire sign, Leo is warm-hearted and in love with life. They’re outgoing, dramatic, creative, and self-confident. While they can be generous, it’s usually only to boost their own reputation. They’re brave in an emergency, easily taking the initiative to resolve complicated situations. When there are no emergencies or problems to solve, they tend to be very casual and take their own superiority for granted.

Famous Leos include: Napoleon I; Alexander the Great; Aldous Huxley, Alfred Hitchcock, Chris Hemsworth, Jason Mamoa, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Antonio Banderas, Bill Clinton, J.K. Rowling, Jennifer Lopez, and Barack Obama.
