Fixed signs are associated with resistance to change. They are stable, strong and enduring, with the ability to see things through to the end. Fire signs imply enthusiasm above all and can be entertaining and optimistic. They are good at starting new projects, but not as good at finishing them. The Masculine association is one of directness and outgoing, extroverted behavior. Apparently confident, although appearances can be deceiving.

Interpretation of the natal chart can be thought of in terms of three major facets of the individual. How you appear to others, your innermost desires and aspirations, and what you are really like. The characteristics associated with your Sun sign, Leo, are not absolutes and should be seen only as likely dispositions.

The character of Leo is among the most uncomplicated of all the signs. Leos are above all self confident, with a tendency to treat their opinions as facts. Leos will take the lead at any opportunity and are generally good organizers. At best, you are generous, enthusiastic and affectionate. At your worst, a physical and intellectual bully, pompous and conceited. Mostly hard workers, Leos need to respect and admire their superiors. You set high standards and expect the same of others. It is not uncommon for Leos to form attitudes and opinions quite early in life that will never change. Arguing with a dogmatic and stubborn Leo can be a frustrating and unproductive exercise. You are more than likely quite sensitive. Your hurt will come mostly from genuine surprise that others disagree with you. Leos very occasionally fall into depression for short periods. You have excellent powers of recuperation and the ability to recover quickly from setbacks.

Quiet ambition without ruthlessness is typical of Leo. Careers which offer interaction with others are more likely to provide satisfaction. You are able to totally immerse yourself in your work and should be aware of the effect of this on those who are close to you.

It can be difficult for Leos to settle down in a permanent relationship. However, once established, Leos express love and affection in a positive way, and are renowned for their loyalty to their partners. Some Leo wives will tend to adopt the masculine role. The Leo parent should beware of dominating children with lesser degrees of exuberance. Parenthood is generally a very happy experience. Leo children may be bossy and prone to tantrums. They are, by nature, attention-seeking and need to have their boundaries clearly set.
