All You Need To Know About Personality Characteristics of Leo


In personality characteristics of Leo, we will be looking at those defining features of all born of Leo Zodiac Sign. The fact is; this is the Sign of exuberance and idealism, denoting a powerful personality. However, as well as being high-minded, Leo subjects can also be high-handed and when they fall victim to their own shortcomings.

Being impulsive, generous and brave, these natives are quick to follow their own intuition. Personal success is often furthered by the marked influence of those ruled by Leo upon all individuals that they meet.

Here are other notable personality characteristics of Leo:

Sheer magnetism

Leo subjects often win over opponents through the force of sheer magnetism. However, if such efforts are misdirected, then the result could easily be false idealism and the Leo benefactor is sometimes only a whisper away from turning into a tyrant.

Adore being in the spotlight

With a desire to "charter their own course," individuals governed by Leo follow through on this with an inherent vigor. They adore being in the spotlight...possibly because it is perceived as a miniature version of the beloved Sun...And seek out appreciation and affection with a zest equal to the manner in which they bestow these upon others.

Very exuberance

Leo subjects like anything which is active...including outdoor life...for Leo subjects crave the warmth of the Sun which is so predominant in this Zodiac Sign. In fact, the very exuberance of a Leo subject can manifest itself in the form of a show-off...but he or she will doubtless feel above any such criticism. Thus, when Leo natives honestly believe they are right, it is assumed that all critics must necessarily be wrong.

Love of humanity

The type of love associated with those who fall under the jurisdiction of Leo is that which embraces the whole of humanity yet; this can present a danger in that Leo individuals are prone to diffuse such love and are often blind to where it is most needed...frequently closer that these natives might think.

Simplicity

The nature here is inherently simple for Leo subjects are open in speech and can be rather tactless...a trait which those who form friendships with Leo subjects come to recognize as being symbolic of the honesty associated with this Sign. However, this self-same quality also easily garners enemies.

Diplomatic

To the Leo native, diplomacy is tantamount to guile...a trait which is personally detested but which the Leo individual often learns how to use.

About Leo Zodiac Symbol


Leo astrological symbol...or glyph...of Leo has, since ancient times, been likened to the mane of a lion, or even its tail. However, it has also been thought to represent the two valves of the heart...the area of the body which Leo rules.

Yet other interpretations of the glyph are that it is representative of the "serpent power" or creative force of the body in its coiled or dormant form, or that it symbolizes the heat or creative energy of the Sun, the celestial body which governs this Zodiac Sign.

In Vedic Astrology, this glyph represents creativity and childbirth, likened to a sperm cell which is the creative power of life and heralds its beginning.

Here are Detailed Leo Profile


Leo profile explains all that made up Libra Zodiac Sign. You will learn about the Season, Ruling planet, Polarity, Zodiac quality, Zodiac element and its influence on Leo natives. You will also be familiar with the lucky gem, lucky number, lucky flower, lucky color and lucky day associated to all born under the Zodiac Sign Leo.


Now, let’s look at Leo profile in details:

The Season

Leo is a Summer Zodiac Sign (as are the Signs of Cancer and Virgo). This time of the year is also known as the Summer Solstice when the days are longer and the nights are shorter than at any other time during the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, Summer usually begins on June 21, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it begins around December 21. However, for the purposes of Astrology, the Northern Hemisphere timeframe marks the beginning of this Season.

Ruling Planet

Leo is dominated by the Sun, providing its natives with an exuberant and dynamic quality. Strictly speaking, the Sun is a star but, for astrological purposes it is considered to be a ruling planet. In mythological aspects, the planetary ruler of Leo is likened to Apollo, the Roman Sun God.

Ruling House

Leo is the natural ruler of the Fifth House of the Zodiac, often referred to as the "House of Pleasure" and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Good Fortune." This is the field of experience in which an individual is challenged to develop creativity and self-esteem...and to find joy in living.

Zodiac Quality

Leo is a Fixed Quality Sign (a Quality it shares with Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius). As the second Zodiac Sign of Summer, Leo is the solidifier of this Season.

Zodiac Polarity

Leo is Positive in polarity (as are Aries, Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius).

The general characteristics of Positive Signs broadly match those for the extrovert personality and such individuals are naturally more impulsive, buoyant, communicative and sociable than are the Zodiac Signs of Negative polarity (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces).

Lucky Number

The lucky number for Leo is one (also known as the Monad or God of All Numbers). Associated with the Sun (this Sign's ruling "Planet") one is the number of Divine Purpose, the number of Creation and the number of Unity. One is masculine in nature and, when associated with Leo, resides in the Fifth House of Creative Expression and Social Popularity...the House of the Heart.

Lucky flower

The lucky flower for Leo is the marigold, also known as the Herb of the Sun, symbolic of passion and creativity. It is a hardy plant whose blooms are usually yellow or orange, but can be reddish or brown in color. The marigold was formerly used as a love charm, and incorporated into wedding garlands and posies. It was also once believed that to rub the flower head on a wasp or bee sting would alleviate any pain.

Lucky Gem

The lucky gemstone of an individual is truly associated with the month of birth rather than the Sign under which a person was born.

The lucky gem for Leo individuals born in July is the ruby. They share this fortunate jewel with those Cancer individuals who were also born during the same month. The ruby is often referred to as the Stone of Love, the Stone of Life, the Stone of Royalty and the Queen of Gemstones.

The lucky gem for Leo individuals born in August is the sardonxy. They share this fortunate jewel with those Virgo individuals who were also born during the same month. The sardonyx is also referred to as the Gem of Courage and the Gem of Virtue. A blend of sard and onyx, this stone is found worldwide but the best specimens are mined chiefly in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay.

According to legend, sardonyx aids in communication and provides its owner with elegant speech, as well as being a valuable ward against evil. Thought to calm relationships, as well as being credited with the power to attract friends and good fortune, this stone is believed to bring happiness to couples.

Lucky Day

The lucky day for those who fall under the jurisdiction of Leo is Sunday.

Complete Profile Leo Personalities

To some extent, Leo personalities are influenced and affected by the qualities associated with the Decan into which the Leo individual falls. Hence, we will be looking at Leo personalities with respect to minor planetary influences, which temper or blend with the ruling influence of the period.

Note: The planetary influences described under Leo decans are valuable in "shading" the personalities of many Leo individuals, but are generally subordinate to the stronger characteristic of Leo.

Leo Personalities (First Decan)
July 23 to August 1

The First Decan of Leo is also known as the Leo Decante and the "Week of Authority."

This Decan is the most typical of its native Sign, meaning that individuals born during this period possess a tremendous amount of added staying power. Once these subjects set out to accomplish something, they will persist regardless of encountered obstacles, until success is attained.

Added to this determination is a driving ability which helps supply the energy and stamina necessary for such persistance. The personality and physical appearance of these First Decan Leo natives has a certain brightness and sparkle often envied by others who are not so blessed.

Since command of the spotlight is so easily achieved, these Leo natives need to exercise care that they do not overdo or abuse such a privilege. It is easy for others to experience envy or resentment toward them.

Thus, First Decan individuals should practice giving those around them a small portion of the limelight from time-to-time...if they wish to be as well-liked and highly regarded as they appear to desire.

The motto of the First Decan of Leo is "Rulership."

Leo Personalities (Second Decan) August 2 to August 11

The Second Decan of Leo is also known as the Sagittarius Decante and the "Week of Balanced Strength."

The influence of Jupiter, secondary planet governing this Decan, can induce numerous and rather interesting differences but chiefly amplifies, enlarges and magnifies the more traditional characteristics associated with the Sign of Leo.

This secondary planetary influence appears to add something of the gambler's instinct to certain Second Decan Leo subjects since they do enjoy taking chances from time-to-time and this element of risk adds a special interest to the lives of such individuals.

Basically, the Second Decan of Leo is counted among the strongest to be found in the entire Zodiac. Common sense is frequently accompanied by a most generous disposition which is both open-minded and open-hearted.

The "will to win" inherent in natives of the Sun (primary governing planet of this Decan), coupled with talent to "see things through" which is provided by Jupiter, results in individuals who are understanding, tolerant and tactful when dealing with those around them...often able to overlook the foibles of friends and family.

Perhaps the greatest fault of these natives is overconfidence, which can lead to conceit and may cause those who fall under the jurisdiction of this Decan to place self-interest above the honesty which this Second Decan customarily represents.

The motto of the Second Decan of Leo is "Reform."

Leo Personalities (Third Decan)
August 12 to August 22

The Third Decan of Leo is also known as the Aries Decante and the "Week of Leadership."

The influence of Mars, secondary planet governing this Decan, can induce some rather exciting and interesting characteristics but chiefly provides the ability to concentrate and focus the power and warmth afforded by the Sun (primary planet governing this Decan), so that such power and warmth may be utilized most efficiently for whatever might need to be accomplished.

When this immensely potent energy force is used wisely, then few things can stand in the way of Third Decan Leo natives for very long regarding their progress in life. The external ego is strong here due to the influence of Leo, but is even more accentuated because of the effect of Aries, first Sign of the Zodiac.

Since these subjects respond so well to challenges, they are happier when setting a rather difficult personal goal...and once this has been accomplished, another should be set immediately.

Others generally like to be in the company of these Third Decan subjects because their zest for life seems to inspire those around them to the point of believing that life truly is worth living. The dominance of the Sun is probably at its most forceful in this Decan of Leo, resulting in natives whose disposition is both brave and virile.

The motto of the Third Decan of Leo is "Ambition."
