While it’s healthy for you always to have several challenges that you’re chasing, it is also a good idea to edit them from time to time; otherwise you risk never getting any of them done. Saying farewell to some of them, some of which you no longer care about, isn’t just wise, you’ll be glad you did, and it makes space for the rest.
I only notice how joyful I am when I spot others who need a boost
As a Leo, you feel responsible for others at an early age. It comes naturally with being ruled by the Sun. You feel your role is to encourage and inspire others. While this is a wonderful characteristic, and can become part of your life later, if you’re working with family, it also is important for you to have time for you alone. Not only that, it is just as important for you, from time to time, to allow others to support you.
Initially, you might be too proud to do it. Leos do have pride and you could brush away others’ efforts. The trick to this is not only to recognize those who can and would like to help you, but to add adventure to your life by learning something new regularly. This may be difficult initially, and you may feel embarrassed that you don’t already know it—that Leo ego can sometimes feel that way.
Yet, if you make a commitment to yourself to learn something new, perhaps every year, a new skill, a new language, something that excites you, not only will you enjoy life all the more, and quite possibly draw others into your life, you will also discover a new and enthusiastic student who is part of your life every day—someone who enjoys learning something with every dawn and who, when you go to bed at night, feels a tremendous sense of accomplishment.
The support you give to others is wonderful and they benefit from it, however, you can get stuck, giving but not receiving. The trick, of course, is for you to learn to say yes, and to do it nearly every day.
While it’s true it is important for you to get out and about, and to feel your muscles moving, at the same time, it is vital that you socialize. The best idea for you is to combine the two. Once you’re out, doing what you enjoy with those whose company you enjoy, you’ll not only do it more often, you’ll adore it.

Although you’ve been referred to as headstrong in the past, you have never really understood why. From your perspective, you were doing no more than making the necessary decisions. Bizarre as it seems to you, often others ask permission, and only once it is given will they make the decisions in question.
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.
