Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, symbolised by the Lion. It is a masculine Fire sign, ruled by the Sun. People whose birthdays fall between July 23 to August 23 are said to be born under the sign of Leo. However if you were born on the day when the Sun moved signs you will need to know your time of birth to determine which Sun sign you really are. The Tarot card associated with Leo is Strength.
The Sun in Leo makes you warm and generous, with a flair for dramatisation – you positively flourish when you are centre stage. You dislike authority and being ignored, and need to learn to soften your pride and accept criticism. You have the strongest creative urge of all the Sun signs, and this must be expressed either practically (such as gardening or dressmaking) or artistically (such as painting, composing music or writing). You are full of vitality and will be frustrated and unhappy if unable to express your creativity.
You can be surprisingly sensitive and easily hurt. Infidelity strikes not merely at your heart but at your sense of self-assurance. You are sensual and enjoy sex, but it must always be in comfortable surroundings. You encourage talent in your children but should beware of pushing them too hard. As a child you had a sunny disposition, but you liked to organise and parents may have corrected early signs of bossiness. Intensely ambitious, you are interested in money for the comfort and beauty it can buy. You enjoy a sense of drama in your work and a job in the theatre is a strong possibility, but so is any trade in which glamour and luxury play a part.
You have a strong constitution, which stands up well to your frenetic life. You enjoy exercise with an imaginative element and love rich food, but should eat sparingly.
