You’re determined, you always will be—that’s part of being a Leo. But the big question is, will you still want the goal you’re going after once you achieve it? This is a question that you will find yourself asking increasingly and one that, eventually, having recognized the answer, you will no longer need to ask.
When others are bored, they do puzzles; when I am, I come up with an amazing plan
There is a part of you as a Leo that is all about seeking perfection in life. It is a part of you that wants beauty, that wants a certain glossy presence in your life. But there is another, more playful part of you that wants to try things out, and is just as happy to flop, to fail, and then to do it all again—in life, in work, and in love.
This is an example for others as well, and the more you do this, and the more you make changes in this way, the more joy will show on your face and in your body. You’ll be relaxed, you’ll be healthier, and not only that, you will be the you who takes part in those activities and so will inspire others.
That easygoing attitude will mean that you’ll probably enjoy what you are doing far more, but gradually, you’ll shift from simply looking good to radiating the kind of joy that comes with being ruled by the most powerful body in the heavens, the Sun.
Having been born a Leo, this is your birthright. But it is strange how few of those born under your sign actually embrace the potential to be a true Leo: not living a glamorous life according to some else’s values, but actually radiating the joy of the Sun within your being every day, and becoming closer to that as every day passes as well.
As you become more easygoing and free and loving, you’ll find that it’s easier to be more free and loving with others, too. You won’t complain in your head so much about them, but instead, you’ll simply accept them. Better yet, the radiance in your mood will add to both your lives.
The question isn’t what you should do to feel better, but what you truly enjoy doing. The closer you come to that inner sunny core, that being of love, the easier it will be for you to decide what’s best to do without even having to think about it.
You’re determined, you always will be—that’s part of being a Leo. But the big question is, will you still want the goal you’re going after once you achieve it? This is a question that you will find yourself asking increasingly and one that, eventually, having recognized the answer, you will no longer need to ask.
Nobody would blame you for taking the rather abrupt manner of certain individuals the wrong way. While you’d be justified in thinking they’ve been rude, the fact is, they have had too much to do and not enough time to do it. For now, say nothing. Within days, they will make it up to 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.
