If there is anything tricky, it’s that once you line up a challenge, you’ll stick with it. However, the gift for you is to learn to recognize when you don’t care about that challenge any more, and when the world has moved on, and to embrace something new.
When challenged by others, I can be fiery. At the same time, I’m devising solutions
As a Leo you are loving, and not only that, you watch out for others as much as you do for yourself. So if they’re up to something worrying, you’ll do your best to lift their spirits or encourage them to go in the right direction.
However, it is important for you to recognize that while you can encourage them, they are not necessarily a Leo. What you can do, however, is share with them a condition that’s called optimism. That is, it is an infectious condition that means they don’t want to be you, but rather, they are determined to become the best them they can be.
This seems strange to you because, as a Leo, this characteristic is built in to your being. But many others don’t have the courage, the conviction, or the enthusiasm that you do. If you are able to help others see that, then you can withdraw and busy yourself with your own activities, and watch them thrive, rather as if you were watching a plant grow.
But also, this will allow you freedom to nurture yourself in the same way. Rather than overplanning what you’re doing, you’ll be spontaneous. Embrace that approach in relationships with others and in your own life, and you’ll remember what it is to wake up in the morning full of joy and go to sleep at night delighted with what you have experienced.
If there’s a single phrase that should define your relationship with others, it’s “Let them take the lead.” Once they are doing that, encourage them. If things don’t work out, encourage them to find a solution. Most of all, shine your enthusiasm on them. It is the best thing you can do.
While there is a great deal to be said for keeping fit, some of those people who do keep in shape aren’t very happy when they’re doing it. There is another component that is important for you to recognize as well, which is to keep calm. If you do that, along with keeping fit, then you will have perfect health.
If there is anything tricky, it’s that once you line up a challenge, you’ll stick with it. However, the gift for you is to learn to recognize when you don’t care about that challenge any more, and when the world has moved on, and to embrace something new.
Only days ago, you wouldn’t just have objected to last-minute changes in plans, you’d have been irritated that others didn’t keep an eye on things. However, recent events have taught you that if you adopt a mellow approach to such matters, you’ll easily ignore minor issues that would ordinarily upset you.
Leo: JULY 22 – AUGUST 21
Ruler: The Sun
Symbol: The Lion
Element: Fire
Flower: Marigold
Whatever you’re doing, you Leos have style. Being ruled by the Sun, your magnetism comes naturally, and being fire signs, you’re usually juggling your busy calendar while charming others. However, when you’re relaxing, you’ll do it with the conviction of your symbol, the lion. Your flower is marigold; your spice, golden saffron; and your trees are the heady, scented bay and the olive. Your stone is gold topaz, or simply wearing gold.
