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.
