Leo Horoscope

Leo

July 23 August 22

THE BRIGHT SIDE: This aspect of Leo is very bright indeed, for this is a personality very much attuned to the vital life giving qualities of the Sun.

Flamboyant
The typical Leo personality is flamboyant and generous with tremendous charm and magnanimity of spirit, which draws people close. The fix quality of the sign, meanwhile, helps to restrain the fire element's tendency to over exuberance. Leos are also loyal, full of self-assurance and hard working, being excellent organizers (as long they are the BOSS). Leo's ability to ply hard and they value placed on pleasure makes for an excellent companion.

THE DARKSIDE: This aspect of the Leo personality usually emerges when Leo is being ignored, which may result in sulking, or when inferior mortals challenge the devine right rules. Leos can be very self opinionated and consequently bombastic and overbearing. One of Leo's most characteristics traits is pride, and there is s tendency, too, toward pomposity and snobbery. .

Touchy It can be difficult to spot when Leo is hurt ( and this sign is surprisingly touchy very touchy better yet):
But the sudden drop in temperature as Leo retreats back into regal dignity provides a clue. In long term disagreement, Leo can also prove to be something of a formidable enemy so watch out don't get them PO.

KING
Leos are warm, sunny and outgoing but just love to be adored and looked up to. Those who fail to recognize a Leo's innate need to be superior may find themselves on the receiving and of a right royal snub, or the victim of typical aristocratic wrath.

Sun Signs
FOR LOVERS
Expansive, generous and caring, Leos revel in love affairs and all things romantic. They are passionate and demonstrative, and like nothing than spoiling their love ones.

Emotions
Happiness knows no bounds for Leos in love. Their big hearts and warm emotions really come into their own when they fall for someone. Then their leonine personalities emerge.
Because they value love above all else. Leos are naturally faithful, and very loyal. But they can sometimes almost over-whelm their partners with adoration. They invest all their emotions in their love affairs; but if things go wrong, they come down to earth with a bump. Once a Leo heart is broken, it takes a long time to mend. Problems can arise if a Leon forgets that he or she is one half of a partnership, and begins to act in the roll of BOSS. Although outwardly they seem to be bursting with self assurance and confidence, and often revel in being the center of attention, underneath they showy their exterior Leos can be very sensitive, but usually they hate to admit it. Their fiery feelings and expensive emotions have to find an outlet and they yearn to express their inter-most thoughts to their partners. However, they almost expect an equally heartfelt sentiment to be return by the loved ones.

FULL OF PASSION
Leos spare no expense when courting a new love. They are very demonstrative and loyal,
and are almost continually in the throes of passion, remaining very faithful. They only lose their sparkle when love begins to fade.

LEOS BODY
Radiant and energetic, Leos bring so much light into other people's lives that they can be blind to the needs of their own, especially where health is concerned. Their need to be appreciated drives them on the endless feats of achievement; and because they have so much natural vitality, they refuse to ease up.

Vitality
While some will approach middle life with more energy that those half their age, Leos will have to come to terms with their own mortality sooner or laterif not, the rich foods and wines they find irresistible will be their undoing.

Excesses
Leo rules the back and the hearths and it is these two areas that are most vulnerable to Leonine excesses. Exercise and obvious remedies for and expanding wasteline. Leos go on until they drop, so usually holidays away will recharge those exhausted batteries. There is no unhappier sight than unadmired or loved Leo. This can cause tremendous depression and may bring an enormous amount of nagging back trouble less as assign of lack of emotional support they so greatly need.
Back problems can be added to if Leo becomes overweight; a daily brisk wall will tone up the whole body, keeping the muscles in the back supple so they are mo able to take the strain.

BACK COMPLAINTS
Leos have an enthusiasm which will lead them to put their back out for anybody, except themselves they do not like to be reminded that they are made of all too brittle bones, and will often mean about a bad back while doing very little about it.
