The idea of regularly changing your plans is unappealing to you as someone who likes to know what you’re doing. Yet the fire sign part of your nature needs regular new challenges, small and large. The irony is, if you make those new challenges part of your routine, then you’ll benefit doubly.
Others questioning my plans is irritating. However, their concerns can be informative
One of your most attractive characteristics is the joy you find in watching others thrive. In fact, it always surprises you when others don’t feel that way. While this may apply to family or friends, it can also apply to anyone you know, to colleagues, to neighbors. And while this is important, it’s also essential that you’re aware your spontaneity and enthusiasm for others needs to be reflected in your own life.
True, you aren’t always as much of a cheerleader for yourself, and, in fact, you can settle into habits that once worked for you, but which no longer do. The trick is to pay as much attention to the joy in your own life as you do to that in others, and to track down any of those habits that are no longer appropriate and change them.
As you may be aware, as a Leo, you are a fire sign, but you are also a fixed sign. You get into habits and don’t even realize that they are holding you back. Sometimes, events in the form of circumstances, and possibly situations involving others, will jolt you out of those habits and, bizarrely, you will fight them.
The lesson? It’s to let go completely—and to plunge into something new. As wary as you are of those changes initially, once you make them, you will wonder why you hesitated even for a moment.
Certain individuals around you have a habit of asking questions about what you are doing and where you are going. And even worse, they ask why. That may annoy you. However, these individuals are true friends, because they’re actually asking you to think about whether you care about what you’re doing.
As a Leo, you were probably born with an interest in looking good. It’s part of being a Leo, so it is likely to do what is necessary to ensure the outside is in good shape. The trick, however, is to make sure the inside is also thriving, and that doesn’t just have to do with your muscles. It has to do with your heart.
The idea of regularly changing your plans is unappealing to you as someone who likes to know what you’re doing. Yet the fire sign part of your nature needs regular new challenges, small and large. The irony is, if you make those new challenges part of your routine, then you’ll benefit doubly.
When you learn breakthroughs are coming, of course you’re delighted. Yet the form and direction they take may not seem remotely welcome. Still, explore it. You’ll soon realize this isn’t about reorganizing existing arrangements, but about creating something new and exciting.
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.
