You know what you want to do and you know what you want to achieve—and what you don’t want to do. However, what you don’t know is when to pause and consider whether you need to rethink those things. The trick is to make a date with yourself, perhaps every six months, or even every year, to conduct exactly that variety of review.
I know when I’m right, especially when I believe in somebody
As a Leo and a fire sign, you are aware of your reputation for being somewhat flamboyant, yet, at the same time, you rather enjoy a slow pace of living and thinking that seems very un-fire-sign. The reason? It’s because you also enjoy spotting the little things in life that are such a pleasure.
In fact, this reflects another of your Leo characteristics, which is the fact that Leo is one of the four fixed signs—the sign in the middle of each season—and so, enjoys stability and can get into a habit.
You work very hard to make elements of your life look and be the way you want, yet every once in a while, that, too, can become boring for the fire-sign part of your nature. It is about finding a balance between these two—between the things that you enjoy and the elements of your life you have carefully created and crafted versus those changes that bring new and important challenges to you. This is a priority for you.
If you review these matters every once in a while—perhaps every six months or so—then you will give yourself the space for those new discoveries. This may be new activities, it may be studying something, it may be getting to know somebody. And in doing that, you’ll enrich that wonderful Leo life even beyond the joys you’re presently experiencing.
You like being very close to people and you also like knowing they care about you. However, certain individuals have a tendency to push you to do things that you have no interest in or intention of doing. Tell them you appreciate that, then very firmly thank them and say no.
As you’re well aware, you particularly enjoy ritual. That ritual may be how you eat, how you work out, how you take care of yourself—whatever it is, you really love it. However, every once in a while, you need to review and change that ritual; otherwise, on one hand, you lose the joy in it, and on the other, you may become a teeny bit lazy.
You know what you want to do and you know what you want to achieve—and what you don’t want to do. However, what you don’t know is when to pause and consider whether you need to rethink those things. The trick is to make a date with yourself, perhaps every six months, or even every year, to conduct exactly that variety of review.
It may seem that certain individuals, or possibly destiny itself, are trying to take over. Certainly, your plans have been disrupted more than once. It may seem you are alone in these struggles, but look around you and you’ll soon realize that is not true. Everybody is facing similar difficulties.
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.
