Sun in Leo

LEO. The natural Leo. Characteristic of the entire zone of formulation - (guna tamas) is the awareness of the sign of its element, a certain pride and responsibility for it. Here, the elements find their most consistent expression. The person of Leo. In contrast to Aries, Leo (fixed cross) possesses a stable energy flow and is aware of its (or rather, his) strength, energy, and power over people and circumstances. If Aries is an elemental enthusiast, then Leo of the lower octave is a ruler, a dictator, and of the higher octave - a conscious and responsible executor of the will of the flow. Of course, both the lower Aries and the lower Leo are puppets of their flows, but the flows treat them differently. If the disobedient (and often obedient) stubborn Aries is often deprived of strength by the egregore (i.e., the flow is disconnected), then in the case of Leo, this is an extreme measure. The disobedient Leo is punished by the flow with a change in character, life circumstances, and obstacles that become increasingly difficult, but the flow does not disconnect for a long time. Leo of the lower octave is aware of his strength and uses it for selfish purposes. The lower the evolutionary level of Leo, the more inflated his ego, sometimes to the point where he wants to be shown in a zoo. At the same time, the general nobility of the fire element is reflected in the lower octave of Leo. He will not torture his victim with sadistic pleasure (he will kill it with one powerful blow); he often (especially if flattered) has certain parodies of higher manifestations, a peculiar (at his level) magnanimity, etc. The big problem for Leo is related to his energy flow. Although it is stable, it does not have the overwhelming power that manifests in Aries during periods of ascent, and therefore Leo needs external evaluation of himself as a conductor of the flow. Aries is above this: it is important for him that the flow reaches its goal, and his role is not so important; Aries carries the idea, while Leo carries himself in the idea. This circumstance makes Leo extremely vulnerable; he begins to depend on others' evaluation of his personality; but at the same time, it gives him some opportunity for conscious control over the flow, which makes him more flexible than Aries (who in the lower octave is completely subordinate to the flow) and more attentive to his surroundings. On the other hand, Leo (fixed cross) is much more stubborn than Aries, if we consider his behavior over a long period. Having realized (to the extent of his understanding) his energy flow, his energy idea, i.e., the direction of activity, he clings to it firmly; Aries, on the other hand, regularly loses the flow and in depression (cardinal sign) can easily change one flow for another, change the type of activity, and most importantly, his energy idea. Leo is a natural leader. With the help of his stable energy flow, he reliably holds a group of his followers, students, or slaves in submission, and receiving from them a certain dose of admiration, reverence, jubilation, and obedience, he becomes happy and behaves quite nobly and even sometimes chivalrously. If, however, the situation becomes complicated and gets out of Leo's control, he tries to increase the pressure (at first, he lets out a mighty roar), and then the humanity, which is so limited (as long as we are talking about the lower and middle octaves of Leo), disappears completely, and the usual proud appearance appears and transitions into a qualitatively different state. For if for Aries the loss of energy flow, depression, is in some sense a natural (although unpleasant) state, then for Leo, who is designed to live in an energy flow, the loss of the latter is equivalent to a catastrophe, it is death in life (that's why Leo can be so ruthless in the struggle for an energy channel). The reverse inclusion in the energy flow for Leo is, in principle, possible, but not immediately, with great difficulty, and most importantly, this will not be the same as before, but a broken Leo, with a large scar on his psyche for the rest of his life. The egoism of Leo is strongly different from the egoism of Aries. If Aries (being in the flow) does not see anything at all, then Leo does not see anything except the flow, and here there is a big difference. Aries is an instinctive, elemental egoist - he must be accepted with everything that comes through him, or rejected. Leo, on the other hand, consciously believes that the whole world should submit to his energy idea, and those who do not want to are fools or enemies, and it's worse for them - and this is not an elemental feeling, but a life position, which is very difficult for Leo to soften (not to mention revising). Leo hears criticism, but does not react to it in any way, unlike Aries, who does not hear it at all. The rule of the Sun gives Leo the feeling that his personal will is directly the will of God; hence his fantastic self-confidence despite any facts and circumstances: to admit his mistake means for Leo to doubt His infallibility or even existence. In reality, however, the Sun personifies not the Absolute, but the leading human egregore at a given moment, and the dominance of the Sun in Leo means that Leo transmits a certain imperative program of actions for a person, subjectively experienced as a corresponding impulse of personal will. Leo, therefore, needs to figure out where his highest karmonic egregore is acting, where the current egregore is, and where the will of his own lower "I" is - a task that is not simple, especially if there are few planets in water signs and Leo rules the daytime house. The incarceration of Uranus limits Leo's originality, translating it into hidden forms. Leo is, after all, a practitioner, and also a leader, he has to adapt to reality and, among other things, to the level of his followers. At the same time, the law of all flows from the subtle world is creativity, and in particular, originality and novelty, to which Leo instinctively strives and which he often fails to achieve. The incarceration of higher planets can be worked through with great difficulty. The incarceration of Saturn gives Leo a certain inner cruelty, and when afflicted, obstinacy; Saturn (internally) fixes Leo on his energy flow, idea, on the one hand, giving him stability, and on the other - depriving him of plasticity. As a result, Leo, facing reality, receives significant traumas from other zodiac signs (which he despises in his lower octave): Scorpio bites him painfully, Taurus tramples him, Aquarius unexpectedly knocks him off his feet, etc. These traumas are the lesson of Saturn, which turns Leo towards understanding himself, his idea, and the surrounding world. With good work (which in this case rarely happens before 40 years, i.e., the opposition of transiting Uranus to radical Uranus), Leo realizes his will as a reflection of the will of the egregore that leads him and finds his place in the world; however, for Leo with his cruelty, self-importance, and conscious self-love, it is very difficult to master the principles of humility and humility before the higher cosmic will. But if he succeeds, he becomes a true general of the spirit, a practical spiritual leader. If, however, the lessons of Saturn pass by, Leo either loses the flow and (forever, i.e., until the next incarnation) falls into the realm of the lower octave of Saturn (lack of energy, depression, and dumb despair), or crystallizes, falling into a dead flow of a rigid egregore, and becomes a dictator of one kind or another, having a certain power over people and circumstances and completely lacking freedom of will and creativity. The culmination of Pluto in Leo symbolizes the principle of the highest practical power of Leo in the dynamics of world development. For the average Leo, this position of Pluto gives a thirst for concrete practical power over the world with the goal of its rearrangement from bottom to top (in the amount accessible to the understanding of this Leo) in accordance with the idea that he transmits. Thus, the higher Leo is a practical ruler of the world, carrying out management and all, even the deepest kinds of its restructuring and transformation in accordance with the tasks of evolutionary development. In its unworked form, the culmination of Pluto gives Leo a false sense of penetration into another's soul and a complex of practical power, i.e., power over the external world. If practical power is lacking, it is strongly desired, and if it is present, its scope is greatly exaggerated in Leo's consciousness. It is difficult for him to believe that administrative and executive power are not the same thing. The fall of Mercury symbolizes not Leo's foolishness, but his disregard for barren mental constructs produced outside the energy flow. The energy flow has its own logic, which it imposes on Leo and which Leo instinctively (and correctly) feels, and this cannot be replaced by ordinary human Mercurial logic. Nevertheless, it is necessary for all signs, including Leo, to track their actions with reason, and he, with poor working and in youth, tends to rely not on his mind or intuition, but rather on his impulse, i.e., the energy flow, which, detached from reality, can carry him very far. Moreover, the fall of Mercury gives Leo difficulties in purely mental and informational contact with the world: he does not perceive information without an energetic component, and he himself often presses too hard in contacts; at the table of peaceful negotiations, he feels out of place. With careful working of the Mercurial problem (which is very difficult), Leo gains the ability to subtly mentally manage his flow and masters the synthesis of mental and energetic plans; with its ignoring, he has poor perception of non-energetic (often mental) information and contacts, and behaves foolishly. The situation of Leo is perceived by participants as imperative, possessing strong energetic pressure and requiring energetic practical actions. In a harmonious variant, this can be (solar variant) the enthusiastic celebration by the public of their favorite on stage. Here, the energy flow is focused on the artist and from him is dispersed to the delighted fans, and from them to him comes the reverse flow; the audience, exhausted from the flow, which they subjectively experience as a feeling of love and admiration, practically express themselves in applause, ovation, striving to possess a part of their idol's clothing or car, and in exceptional cases, in ecstasy, tear him to pieces. Another classic (Plutonian) variant of Leo's situation is the battlefield from the point of view of the general who commands the battle: deploys troops, inspires soldiers, determines the sequence of introducing units into battle, trying to anticipate the actions of the enemy, etc. Here, people are perceived as pawns, and the logic and ethics of the gloomy energy flow reign, which is characterized by the well-known aphorism "in war as in war". The mixed solar-Plutonian variant of Leo's situation of the lower octave is a dictatorship based on the power of arms and has not yet appeared on a global scale; this will be the spiritual revival of humanity with elements of the picture of the Last Judgment. The Sun in the sign always makes the program of this sign tense, and as a ruler, doubly so. Solar Leo deals with rigid energy flows that have great power over the external world (and over Leo himself) and therefore require very precise actions; the price of error is great and visibly material. The Sun emphasizes Leo's leadership qualities and the feeling of divine origin of his personal will. This is partly true; however, having such a feeling, it is very difficult to admit the influence of his own lower subconscious programs on this divine will; it is even more difficult for Leo, not endowed (except for the highest type) with special empathy and psychological abilities, as well as a tendency to self-analysis and introspection, to understand his subconscious and separate the higher programs from the lower ones - it seems to him that this is all insignificant and he needs to deal with the matter (in his understanding), i.e., the external world. Nevertheless, the subconscious takes its toll, and if the solar Leo does not conduct regular cleansing campaigns in his soul, he gradually degrades, and, unnoticed by himself, he undergoes a change of the leading egregor to a more crystallized and primitive one. Leo becomes a crude despot and loses touch with reality and the original idea.

If the Sun in a person's horoscope is in Leo, then this person is the embodiment of self-awareness. Leos are always on the throne, even if they work as shoemakers. They always feel like the center of attention, even if it's not actually the case. Even the most shy of them think that they supposedly make a huge impression. They are proud, strong, calm, even if they are experiencing uncertainty. They demand attention, everyone must listen to them. They love honor, which sometimes can be bought with rich treats. They are always generous, but they don't forget about themselves. Their affairs go smoothly, as their self-confidence hypnotizes those around them. There must always be someone who admires them, otherwise, they develop a feeling of uselessness and may become embittered (although they don't show it). They possess extraordinary ingenuity, strength, determination, regality, organizational talent, love of freedom, and a desire for independence. It's impossible to tie down a Leo, it's better not to try - there will be a lot of noise, they only obey by their own free will. Their love of freedom knows no bounds. They are haughty, but for them, it's natural. Everyday worries are too lowly for them, but they readily take responsibility for their actions and give orders. They are generous, can protect, and overestimate themselves. They exude extraordinary authority, know how to make an impression, their words and gestures are wide, and it's hard to argue with them - they are always right, and their pride prevents them from immediately changing their false opinion. Later, they may change it, but as if by their own will. They are brave, love to enjoy life, don't like to work, but their laziness is majestic. They have a vividly expressed pride, forgive offenses, but don't forget them. They can't tolerate criticism, but they have a sense of humor. In life, they inevitably occupy a high position, at least once. They prefer professions where they can lead (they have organizational talent and know how to make others work). Work related to meticulous labor is not for them, unless they have an adjutant. In negotiations, they are magnanimous and generous, yielding in minor matters. They are generous with subordinates, easily advance in their careers, and don't fawn over their superiors - they hold themselves equal, or even make it clear that they are superior. They are ambitious, although this is connected not with the work itself, but with the position. They love the public, love to shine, and know how to do it better than others. They can't be deprived of their place in the sun, they won't sit in a cage, and at the first opportunity, they will pounce on the one who put them there. They don't need to be given great powers, as they will inevitably use them to the end, love to make decisions, and don't regret what they've done. Their weakness is deadlines, punctuality - they consider it a shame to work like a clock, i.e., a technical instrument. They have many enemies and love to make people wait. In love, they ignite quickly, transition from words to deeds quickly, court passionately, but those who don't immediately surrender, they don't love, as their pride suffers in case of rejection. With great passion, they preserve their self-love. They are very sensitive in love, food, drink, love beauty, splendor, and their partner must have a beautiful appearance. In marriage, they demand unconditional submission, are not distinguished by fidelity - family is family, and hunting is hunting. But God forbid if another predator enters the family! They don't spoil their children. Dangers: overestimation of oneself, a sense of offended dignity, inability to recognize enemies in time, vanity, surrounding oneself with flatterers who parasitize at the expense of Leo, a thirst for pleasures, a desire for power, intolerance, haughtiness, self-love. They are too trusting. They have a robust physique, are resistant to diseases, and are prone to heart diseases. Often, these diseases and blood disorders arise due to excesses and affect the throat and excretory system. You are a proud and highly individualistic person, you strive to be an outstanding individual, to manifest yourself to the limit of your abilities, to achieve recognition and high appreciation for what you do. You can't tolerate the thought of being in the last row or following someone else's orders, or simply being an ordinary employee. You need to leave the imprint of your personality on everything you do, go your own way in life, shine, manifest yourself creatively, and be at the helm. Your dreams are grandiose, and you have the decisiveness, firmness of character, energy, and enthusiasm to implement grand plans. You also have a noble, romantic heart and a love for the dramatic, bright, and extravagant. You fully agree that the world is a stage, and secretly (or maybe not so secretly) you want to be a prominent actor, the main character in the play. You need the admiration of the public, ovations, even if the audience consists of one person who believes in you and your dreams. Although you exude confidence on the outside, in reality, you greatly depend on the support, love, and recognition of people. For you, it's unbearable when you're not noticed or appreciated. In love, you are generous with your heart and not afraid to show your loved one how much they mean to you. You value the magic of being in love and know how to preserve this flame in relationships. A devoted person, you will protect those you love and stand up for them - if only they don't offend your pride, don't betray your trust. In relationships with people, you like the role of the strong one, and it's very hard for you to yield leadership. Ideally, you need to find a person with a will as strong as yours, but who doesn't strive to stand above you, be your competitor. The strong side of your personality is represented by your keen interest and love for life. This is your creative energy, a hot and generous heart. And the main flaw is that you are egocentric. Being concerned with the impression you make, your own creative self-expression, you forget about the existence of a larger world that doesn't revolve around your person.

The Apostle John the Theologian, probably a typical representative of this fiery sign, was the youngest of those who joined the Savior and preached the word of God until his death, reflecting the persistence and constancy characteristic of Leos. This sign influences the heart and spine. Indeed, the heart of a Leo is capable of all-encompassing love. As energy must be directed into the right channel, so too must love find an object of application: Leos greatly benefit from learning to distribute love to themselves and those around them correctly. They are distinguished by high self-esteem. Unfortunately, it sometimes "catches up" with them, and then one can speak of egoism and conceit. Leos Need to understand that, loving those around them, they give the opportunity to love themselves. They are born leaders, and they like to rule, but sometimes a drop of modesty would not hurt. The spine is what gives Leo a proud posture. He is always ready to accept any challenge, does not bend his head under any circumstances. When a Leo enters a room, he involuntarily attracts general attention: all his habits remind him of the symbol of his sign - the regal lion. He walks straight, confidently, with dignity and true royal nobility. The manners of a Leo can sometimes be called not royal, but rather proud and conceited. In this case, it would be good to advise him to be simpler, without this, normal communication with those around him may not work out. But let the thought that he is the best remain with him. In this, there is nothing wrong, the main thing is that he learns to control his words and actions, so as not to offend anyone (after all, a wise ruler must first care for others). A Leo is ruled by the Sun, so the purely "leonic" qualities are fire and constancy. The Sun, which contains all the power of life, gives Leo strength and brightness. But remember: one and the same fire can burn in a hearth, giving warmth and comfort, and it can rage as a fire, bringing danger and destruction. A young Leo needs to be taught from childhood that not everyone has such unbridled energy. For some, their fire can become scorching, frightening, and making them keep their distance. Leo more than anyone needs encouragement and approval. But they can achieve success and achieve their goal if they consciously and purposefully choose the point of application of their efforts. Hesitation about good will not lead to anything. Leos feel an urgent need to play the first violin and demand general recognition. If they do not receive love and attention in childhood, their entire subsequent life can turn into an endless show. Leos are artistic, have a refined taste. They will be best given the opportunity to express their talents and abilities on stage or in some other activity related to performances, games, and success in the public eye. Leos strive to achieve the respect of those around them and reach the heights of life. Like all fiery signs, they are distinguished by directness and honesty. Leos do not like to lie and are extremely unfavorable to the lies of others. They are demanding of themselves and those they love, who surround them. Children-Leos are very sensitive to the opinion of others, so they try to do everything as well as possible, always striving for perfection. They expect the same from others and are often surprised and disappointed when they find that many are willing to settle for less. For a Leo, this is unbearable - because they feel personal responsibility for any work. The motto of a Leo is: if you want something to be done well - do it yourself! Born under this sign, they know how to choose a "team" and give sensible orders, they delve into all the nuances and thoroughly develop any plan. A young Leo needs to be taught from childhood that their actions and behavior are evaluated differently by different people. And, in general, life is too short to try to achieve the unattainable. So, it's not worth destroying one's health (heart!). When your child learns to evaluate the world more objectively, they will understand that others have different requests and needs. It is necessary to accept people as they are. Having understood this, a Leo will give warmth and love to those around them, which will adorn their life and the lives of those close to them. As for the upbringing of a small Leo, it is always necessary to approach them with respect, without touching their sense of their own dignity. Never encroach on their independence - you will face an impregnable fortress. The best way to achieve understanding with a child is to praise them for their diligence and hard work. If you tell a child that they have worked well, they will try to do even better next time. Even if a child makes a mistake, they will make an effort to correct it. If your little Leo is upset or extremely gloomy and aggressive, offer to take them for a walk with you somewhere in nature. This will calm them down. Without Leos, the world would be dull, devoid of reckless courage and uncompromising conviction. Born under this sign, they believe in themselves and their strength and are able to inspire others. In short, a Leo is just a turbulent life that beats to the rhythm! And how would it be without them - gray, gloomy, and sorrowful on earth! And yet, there is one "but". A small Leo with unfavorable combinations in their horoscope may grow up to be a Cowardly Leo. He will whine and whimper like a kitten, asking for protection and help. You, like Elly, may help him gain a brave heart through love and faith in himself. Your Leo will always look to the future with optimism. This active, creative mind, devoted nature, and generous thoughts (sometimes this generosity can be excessive - the nobility of a Leo is easy to take advantage of). Help your child understand their strength - and they will achieve success. The chapter "Mercury in Leo" will give you key words for communication with the child

On July 23, the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Leo. Here we transition into the second zone of the horoscope - the Zone of "Stability", where the qualities of all four signs in this zone - Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio - are manifested in a balanced way. Here we enter the element of Fire, in its strongest and brightest manifestation. The main ruler of Leo is the Sun, the main luminary of the astrological system. The element of Fire in Leo is stable, and people born under the sign of Leo are gifted with the ability to rule and manage, manifesting the best and highest qualities. Leo was Alexander the Great, a great conqueror and ruler of the world, Julius Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon. Usually, Leos do not take active actions to achieve power functions, because, as a rule, these functions are given to them initially. Leos are the main rulers of the world. Therefore, high and developed Leos never push forward, never elbow others, they always feel themselves at the center of events, always subconsciously have a tendency to stand out, show their "I" and, in the best case, manifest themselves creatively. They spread solar radiation around themselves, and usually act through intermediaries, assistants, and people who are attracted to their sunniness. Leos are no longer warriors, like Aries, they are already rulers, kings, and rulers. Therefore, among Leos, we find many very serious and famous rulers. Most Leos are very talented and capable of creativity, because this is a very creative sign. Leos, if they achieve a high position, in the best case, can be generous and sincere, and with their best qualities, they generously endow everyone who comes into contact with them. In the best variant, greed is not characteristic of Leos, even if they do steal, they share with someone. Among artist-Leos are Titian, actor-Leos - Marlon Brando, in our cinema - Oleg Tabakov, a man of pose, whose laughter is infectious, and, on the other hand, able to instantly shed a tear and squeeze it out of others. Magnate J. Ford is also a Leo. Among the "rulers" we find Talleyrand, who secretly ruled under Napoleon. In high, developed Leos, we find such a quality as nobility, they never finish off a defeated enemy. In general, Leos always strive for achievements, but their striving is not explicitly shown, they are somehow shy of the striving for power given to them initially. Although in the depths of their soul, they can be very vain and proud, this vanity and pride only break out in lower Leos. In the worst case, these qualities reach megalomania. So, at the highest level, Leo is a noble person, and at the lowest - a vain, self-loving, envious person. Speaking figuratively, in the highest Leo - the best traits of Leo, the king of beasts, and in the lower Leo - the worst feline qualities. The lower Leo is a "tattered cat". Leos suffer greatly when they are not noticed, because the manifestation of signs of attention to them is the main background of their nutrition, they feed on the reverence coming from their surroundings. But if they are not noticed, then in lower Leos, this often gives rise to a sense of revenge. By the way, lower Leos take the bait of flattery, they are easily seduced, deceived. Leos always crave great achievements, these are very broad, generous souls. If life does not give the opportunity to manifest their creative abilities and broad soul, then they develop a complex of inferiority. Typical Leos possess excellent, robust health, these are large people, with large, bright facial features and a figure that exudes a sense of significance. Leos have a very powerful energy framework, very powerful energy, therefore, among practicing clairvoyants, we also find many Leos. The creativity of Leos is always distinguished by brightness, luxuriance, and some riot of creative manifestations. If we talk about the country of Leo, then it is Spain. The problems of Leo are suppressing the lower qualities of the Sun, such as vanity, and managing internal energy. The fact is that Leos have very powerful energy and they exert a literally magical influence. The planet Pluto contributes its vibrations to the formation of the sign of Leo, and you can imagine how Plutonian traits can be embodied in a person of the sign of Leo. Therefore, Leo needs to work very subtly with energy, very subtly implement their ideas through their surroundings. Another important problem is the illusion of perception. It has already been said that Leos are easily susceptible to flattery. Somewhere deep in the subconscious (in Leo, Neptune is in the sign of fall) in Leos, there is sometimes a fog, what the Indians call "maya", so getting rid of this subconscious fog and forming a clear structure in their internal world is also a very important and significant task for Leo.

SUN in the sign of Leo According to statistical data, the best professions for "Leos" are those where they can demonstrate their organizational and administrative talents, their ability to manage, lead, command, and oversee. Their life and career successes are due to their potential willpower and energy, talents and abilities, the skill to create favorable conditions for implementing their plans, as well as their highly expansive actions and aspirations to expand their opportunities to showcase their personality in the surrounding world. They confidently gain authority in their professional field, becoming not only true masters and connoisseurs of their craft but also climbing the social ladder and accumulating material wealth. Thanks to their brilliant "showmanship," they attract the attention of the outside world, and their actions are recognized and approved. To achieve true success in life and at work, they require self-control, which they often lack, as well as greater inner culture and restraint to bring their affairs to full completion. It is their heightened sense of self-worth that often leads to a desire for "showmanship" or mere interest in purely material values. Moreover, their love for external splendor and a clear demonstration of superiority over others often leads to clashes and confrontations with their environment—superiors, colleagues, subordinates—frequently causing real crises at work. At the same time, their social advancement is precisely due to connections and contacts with high-ranking individuals. To avoid troubles, "Leos" must make certain adjustments to their feelings and behavior, courageously restraining negative character traits, categorically rejecting all forms of arrogance, conceit, and self-praise. They gain authority at work, reputation, and prestige in society mainly through their excellent knowledge, experience, and ability to dominate others while not denying anyone their warmth, goodwill, and friendliness. Such an attitude toward people helps expand their spiritual level and the boundaries of their social status and material well-being. Leos who master such a strong spiritual substance naturally command respect and authority, creating an aura of fame around themselves and having a whole retinue of admiring and obedient followers. They become idols for others, especially when this fame is earned on the theatrical, opera, or concert stage, in sports, or on the arena. "Leos" can become administrators and leaders of large industrial complexes, members of the board of directors of corporations, trusts, directors of factories, plants, department stores, chief physicians of hospitals, and heads of various offices and bureaus. In politics, they can rise to the positions of party leaders, bosses, and so on. In industry, the textile industry, weaving mills, ready-to-wear factories, jewelry and gemstone production, the watchmaking sector, and branches of artistic industry occupy the leading place. No less important is service in the state apparatus and authorities, in ministries and departments, in the judicial system, and financial bodies. All "Leos" and "Lionesses" have a strong tendency toward luxury and splendor, a cheerful and easy lifestyle full of pleasures and entertainment. Little happiness awaits those "Leos" who cannot overcome such negative character traits as arrogance, haughtiness, boasting with deception and swindling that borders on betrayal and treachery, or living beyond their means.

July 23 - August 23. Leo. Leo, as befits a king, is noble, proud, and generous. His nature is passionate, emotional, and energetic, provided that the Sun or Saturn in his chart are not afflicted. His regal bearing is a natural gift. He spends money freely, not counting the cost, as it is merely a means to appreciate the finer things in life (e.g., acquiring art or books). His success is a guarantee of happiness for those around him, whom he generously shares it with. Those who do something for him help him to reveal his best qualities. Life for an average person is impossible for him. He usually achieves significant influence, unless Saturn in his chart exerts too negative an influence. If circumstances are not in his favor, he may develop complexes, and later physical ailments. Leo is not petty or vengeful. He loves to be in the center of attention and is somewhat theatrical. His friends cannot be away from him for long. His joie de vivre is infectious. However, Leo mostly loves himself. It is impossible for him to devote himself entirely to a partner, as it seems to him like "descending from a pedestal." Therefore, he is intrigued and captivated by those who do not show him signs of adoration and respect from the very beginning. For his emotional balance, Leo needs to be beautiful, remarkable, and unconventional. This is a natural-born leader who feels the need for physical and mental activity. However, it is not worth overexerting himself: when Leo is too diligent in his youth, engaging in sports or studies, he begins to experience health problems and issues after forty, although he had been in excellent health before. His sympathetic system is very sensitive: an emotional shock can either cause or cure his illness. In cases of heart problems (physical or emotional), homeopathic arnica and cactus are recommended. Magnesium, either homeopathic or natural, is shown for the elements. Sulfur is also shown for bones and the spine. Citrus fruits are recommended. Hot baths with thyme and rosemary (1 teaspoon per bath) are beneficial. Sunlight is beneficial, but without overheating. Skiing, both alpine and water, is recommended.

Leo is a fixed, positive sign, symbolized by the lion. From here we can conclude that a person born with the Sun in Leo is active, experienced in many matters, aspiring to success and a prominent position. Sometimes such people have an overly high opinion of themselves. They are strong, but not tactless. Sometimes their will forces their mind to unswervingly follow a desire or decision to do something. They have a sincere heart and love to participate in humanitarian, philanthropic activities. Have organizational skills; Because of their ability to inspire others, they make good leaders. They have better health than most people. They like to visit mountains and forests and spend time alone. They are usually sincerely spiritual and enjoy ceremonial rituals. They can become rude if their desire for strength and power becomes hypertrophied. They have an independent character with a stubborn streak, and are often charismatic people. They are frank and sincere, generous, have good intuition and are inventive; carry themselves with dignity. The sun represents the external appearance of a person and the external features of his behavior. When the Sun is in Leo, it occupies its own sign, and is therefore in full strength. Therefore, such people can be attractive in appearance, have charming manners, plenty of vitality, and a dreamy mind. Having the Sun in Leo is good luck as it indicates help from father, government and God if other indications in the chart coincide with this. It happens, however, that a person with the Sun in Leo can become overly selfish, too demanding, and living with him will be very difficult. If such people are treated with respect, they will respond with generosity.
