Leo is ruled by the Sun and shares its majestic demeanor. Leo likes to command, lead and create - and be the center of attention. Lions love the good life and even more, to hear words of praise. Leo is affectionate, generous and charming. Count on bold and brave Leo to take the first step in a crisis. Lions are skilled managers and organisers - of public affairs rather than their own. Extroverted and optimistic Leo is ill equipped to deal with depression which can be their nemesis. Thankfully Lions are resilient and bounce back with the help of their dogged determination (remember, it's a fixed sign).
