Leo – The fifth astrological sign of the zodiac
Written by psychiclineadmin on November 27, 2008
Leo the Lion is the fifth sign of the zodiac. If your birthday falls between July 23 and August 22, then your sign is Leo.
Leo is a fire sign and also one of the positive or extroverted masculine signs. Much like other signs of the zodiac, Leo is no longer aligned with the constellation that shares its name due to the precession of the equinoxes.
Leo is ruled by the sun, and along with Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius is one of the fixed signs. Because of this, Leos tend to be strong, possessing great strength and stamina. Conversely though, they tend to be slightly stubborn and inflexible.
From Greek Mythology, the constellation was created when Hercules, as one of his twelve labors, set out to slay the Nemean Lion. After he killed the lion, it was sent to the heavens by Zeus where it is visible today as the constellation Leo.
Leo’s tend to be very creative and passionate about most things. They love attention and the spotlight, and are very passionate about things they deem important in their lives. They can be very faithful to others, and at the same time quite protective of them. They’re noble and are known to have magnetic personalities. One of their less desirable traits is being overly dramatic. This is directly related to their love of attention. They can also be very bossy and argumentative. Along with these,
they’re often associated with being dogmatic; a direct correlation to the fact that they’re one of the fixed signs.
If you’re a Leo, some potentially good careers for you include anything related to fashion, politics, law, business, or entertainment and the arts.
Some famous Leos include, Aldous Huxley, Mick Jagger, Queen Elizabeth, Andy Warhol, Herbert Hoover, Jerry Falwell, Alfred Hitchcock, Bill Clinton, Napoleon, and Yassar Arafat to name a few.

The third sign of the Zodiac is Gemini, commonly known as the Twins. If your birthday falls between May 21 – June 21, your astrological sign is Gemini. It is a positive extroverted masculine sign that’s ruled by Mercury.

Gemini, like other astrological signs originated from the constellation that shares its name. But also like many of the other signs, it is no in alignment with the constellation due to the precession of the equinoxes.
An interesting note about the constellation is its origin. In Greek mythology, the origins of Gemini are often based upon the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux – twin sons of Leda having different fathers. Pollux’s father was Zeus and Castor’s father was Tyndareus. This left Pollux immortal, and Castor immortal. Upon Castor’s death, Pollux asked Zeus if he could share his immortality with his brother. He were granted that wish and they were then transformed into the Gemini Constellation.
Geminis are often inquisitive people that are highly intellectual and charming. They’re often upbeat and optimistic, possessing much energy and a positive outlook. They’re generally skilled at multitasking and communication abilities, and have a high level of creativity. Geminis frequent want to be the center of attention in most situations. On the negative side, Geminis can also be very vain and overly critical. They’re often described as temperamental and fickle.
Some careers that are a good fit for the Gemini are anything related to the arts and entertainment. Actors, musicians, models, comedians. Anything that commands attentions.
