While you, as a Leo, love to succeed—and every Leo thrives on that—there’s another part of you that actually enjoys a bit of drama. Allow yourself that. Create challenges for yourself so you’ll feel that success is well-earned—then you’ll enjoy it all the more.
When I say “Yes” to a plan or idea, that releases powers that can make magic happen
As a Leo and a fire sign, you have a wonderful ability to care for others. In fact, you feel responsible for ensuring that they’re happy and for providing for their well-being.
While this is fantastic, it also means that, sometimes, you can take over, and they don’t get a chance to develop their own instinct for making their own choices.
Finding that balance is difficult, because of course, you hate to see them fail. However, you learned a lot from things not working out—and they will, too.
This is one of the greatest lessons for you, to recognize those moments when it is important for you to encourage others and be there, yet recognize when it is important for you to be on the sidelines.
But this doesn’t just have to do with others. It has to do with you as well, and with making changes in your own habits, your own way of thinking, your own activities.
There are things you have intended to do differently for a long time but have never got around to, simply because the part that needs a boost you always seems to be taking a break at the moment when you need encouragement the most.
And that is the secret for you—to encourage yourself when necessary, as much as you encourage others.
The trick when dealing with others is to know that moment when it is time to hand over the reins to them and let them go on their way. Then you can celebrate with them as they succeed, inspired by you.
The formula for health and well-being for you challenges a part of your nature that settles into a plan. And that is the part that’s associated not so much with being a Leo but with being a fixed sign. Despite that, if you make a point of changing what you do and how you take care of yourself regularly, you will not only be more enthusiastic, you will feel better, too.
While you, as a Leo, love to succeed—and every Leo thrives on that—there’s another part of you that actually enjoys a bit of drama. Allow yourself that. Create challenges for yourself so you’ll feel that success is well-earned—then you’ll enjoy it all the more.
You knew you’d have to draw the line with one particularly uptight individual, but you’ve put off saying anything, mostly because you dreaded any confrontation. At this point, however, you’d rather deal with that than face even one more day of their negative attitude and unruly behavior.
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.
