July 23 - August 22

      The sign of the "Leader" or "Ruler". Dedicated to the throes of passion, the personality type of Leo makes no exceptions.  "Love me or Leave me, either way you'll always have my heart", should be this signs motto.  Leo is a truly unique sign in that it takes everything to heart, but yet always stays in the dominant position.  Passion, Desire, and Creativity are Leo's middle name.  Leo combines all three to push life to its limits to withdraw life's ultimate pleasures.  Leo people always look good, and try to persuade others to be lavish in their styling .  Leo reminds us all that looking good and feeling good is also an important part of life.  Leo is also a very sexual sign.  That spark of creativity throughout Leos personality is what most partners are looking for in the bedroom, and Leo types are all too happy to spread it around.  Leo people also have a flair for the dramatic, but this is what makes them so full of passion.  This personality type can take any situation, and turn it into something so big one would be willing to give everything they had for them, and you Leo's know this all to well.. Leo is Desire. They always place their heart before their head, sometimes making rash decisions which result in messy affairs.

Final Thoughts: With such creativity and dominance in life, the Leo personality should be more then successful in this life so long as they can keep that fire focused.  Over indulgence in the pleasures of life is not always a good thing. Remember you will always have other opportunities, but why not try to make this one work first. Try to be humble, and balance some of that childish need for attention into some true creativity.
