More Astrology Traits and Personality of Leo

Charismatic and Stylish: 

Love triumphs over all for this sign, which is ruled by the heart and operates from this dimension too. Leo's are born fortunate. Charismatic and positive-thinking they attract not only an abundance of friends and opportunities, but manage to survive life's stormy times with style and good humour. Their ruling planet is the Sun, and this is often reflected in their sunny and happy nature.

Loyal and Devoted: 

Once a Lion is committed to a relationship, they are totally devoted and faithful. Should their heart or trust be broken they never forgive or forget. When a relationship breaks down (even a long standing one) they can disappear into the sunset without a backward look. Leos can cut ties, and leave others heartbroken, but usually there is a good reason why they have broken a tryst. For a Leo, when a relationship is over, really over, it is over for good. 

Soul evolution of Leo: 

There are three levels of soul-evolution of the Leos. The highest is represented by the Sphinx; wise beyond their years and great teachers to others. The second is the Lion, King of the Jungle, ruled by ego but always protective and sustaining of those they love. The last is the Lion Cub, immature and undeveloped, frightened by anything new. These Leos cling to others (in the mode of the child not wanting to leave its mother's side).) They can't bear to be alone.

Proud and Born to Lead: 

No matter what level they have attained, all Leos are trendsetters, leaders and adventurers. They are idealistsic, honest and direct, and will work long and hard to achieve their goals.

Their weakness is their pride. This is one sign where the saying "flattery will get you everything" applies, they thrive on admiration from others, but be warned criticism will slam the relationship door right in your face.

LEO-2018

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS

Ch-ch-changes! Your relationships are shifting, along with your priorities, as we enter the second year of a seismic series of eclipses in Leo and Aquarius. From 2017 to 2019, you’re going through major personal transformations, which will alter your entire approach to partnership. Eclipses bring surprising and swift events. You could make a quick exit from a romance that’s run its course or you might rush off to City Hall and tie the knot. Even rock-steady duos will go through a big growth phase. To top that off, in November, expansive Jupiter starts a 13-month visit to your passionate fifth house. One thing’s certain: Love will be anything but business as usual in 2018!

MONEY & CAREER

Ambitious frontiers await! Mid-May, revolutionary Uranus starts an eight-year visit to Taurus and your professional tenth house—its first time here in 77 years. Between now and 2026, you could explore a few wildly different career paths. Your work may involve technology or uniting people around a world-bettering cause. This year’s two Leo eclipses thrust you into the spotlight, possibly without notice. Keep your glam squad on call! But it won’t be all red carpets and rave reviews. Taskmaster Saturn is in your administrative sixth house for the next three years, demanding that everything you do is set up on a rock-solid foundation. There’s no cutting corners on the important stuff, so engage a team of savvy specialists instead of doing everything DIY.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Feel it to heal it? This year’s stars spotlight your emotional wellbeing, helping you become sound of mind, body and heart. Jupiter in your sensitive fourth house will prioritize downtime and self-care. Meantime, structured Saturn is in your health and fitness zone until 2020, forcing you to get regimented and reduce stress. Regular exercise and healthy eating are your new non-negotiables. You’ll need to say “no” (a Leo’s least favorite word!) to a few things so you can make time for Numero Uno. This could prove harder than it sounds, but set your FOMO aside in the name of your own health and happiness. July’s Cancer eclipse could be the perfect time for spiritual healing or a retreat near water.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Your clan takes center stage this year, as bountiful Jupiter visits Scorpio and your fourth house of home and family until November. This transit could bring a move, a pregnancy or a long-overdue renovation that turns Chateau Leo into everyone’s favorite crash pad. Your relationship with your mother, a child or a female relative could go through an important evolution. While there will be a few growing pains, your bond should get tighter by the end of this year.
