Introduction: Characteristics of Leo

Famous Leos include many controversial figures. From President Bill Clinton to dictator Mussolini, from writer Herman Melville to psychiatrist Karl Jung, Leos represent a wide range of leaders in the humanities, arts and social spectrum.

Extroverted, charismatic, a Leo is unmistakable and will often quickly rise to the top in social settings. Leos are also well adapted to the arts and often lead the creative world with their vision and enterprising spirits.

Perhaps the biggest potential setbacks for Leos are themselves. If you’re a Leo, beware of becoming too arrogant or too pushy. Remember that others have valuable ideas and things to contribute.

Love

Leos may well attract many others and should be wary of falling in love with just anybody. Leos are strong and courageous and often are best suited with people of a similar disposition.

Leos typically have a strong sex drive and should be careful that this doesn’t get them into trouble. Once you’re committed, remember the other person’s feelings and what they have to offer you. Be wary of pushing your children too hard because they may not share the same drive as you. Not everyone was meant to be as strong or charismatic as you.

Finance

Consider financial pursuits where you take charge. With these endeavors you will be most satisfied and will probably take great pride in seeing your earnings grow. Consider starting a business or investing in a way that will earn you power and fame.

When you invest consider:

Troubled companies in need of guidance
Start-up ventures led by charismatic individuals
Your own business

Career

Leos take charge and should put themselves in a position where they can rise to the top without too much opposition. After all, one of your more negative traits is the tendency to do whatever it takes to make it. Beware of this because while it will allow you to succeed, it may make you some very spiteful enemies in the process.

CEO
Politician
Entrepreneur
Artist
