As majestic and impressive as the Lion that represents their sign, Leos are the natural leaders of the zodiac. Radiantly enthusiastic, magnanimous with their charm and gifts, and fiercely proud and confident, Leos love and live life to the fullest and expect, indeed need, to be at the helm at home, work, and creative – there are many Leos among the actors of the world – Leos hate small-mindedness and nit-picking. But they themselves are occasionally stubborn, autocratic, and dogmatic.

The major Leo fault is believing that "you know best.” Well, of course you do. But it is not always a good idea to insist on it. And you do tend to feel that you should be in charge not only of your own life but of everybody else’s.

Every day is Valentine’s Day for romantic Leo. Yours is the sign of the heart, and once you find your ideal lover, you want to e with him or her night and day. Lions usually take women detours before finding true love. With Jupiter guiding your romances through Sagittarius, the sign of the hunter, it is easy to get caught up in the thrill of the chase. You may flirt your way through much casual relationship before you realize that you really want true love.

Your most charming trait as a sweetheart is your way of being totally there for your companion. You shower your honey with attention; as of you were the only two people on Earth. But Sagittarius is a mutable sign, and you may direct the same flattering attention to someone else the next day.

It is okay to play the field until you fall in love, but it is not fair to string anyone along. If your honey is looking for an exclusive relationship while all you want is a good time, neither of you will be happy for long. Be honest with your sweetie so you can each move on to someone who is more your type. At some point you will need to choose between quantity and quality. The more secure you become with your own emotions, the more likely you are to find happiness with one special person.

Just as you will spend more than you can afford on your loved one, you will also tend to go over the top emotionally. This needs a little watching, especially in the early days of a relationship. You don’t want to scare him or her off! But it is important to remember in love that you are a couple – not just one person with another loosely attached appendage (him or her!) sharing is what a relationship’s all about. It is definitely not about your deciding – for the both of you – what to do and how to feel!

You are able to make a favorable impression on influential people without even trying. It is a wonderful time to revitalize your career. Venus brings good fortune to your work life, which it rules through the fixed earth sign Taurus. It magnifies the power of your personality, boosts your income, and helps you advertise your product, service or skills, or launch a home-based business.

Talented Lions can excel in many fields, including the performing arts, publishing, fashion, construction, banking succeed at producing a play or managing an art gallery. In interviews, you will probably need to rein in your larger-than-life personality to avoid coming on too strong. If you are well qualified for a job, it is natural to want to talk about your skills. But most bosses are looking for employees who know how to listen carefully and take instructions well.

Listen respectfully to everything your interviewer has to say and answer his or her questions to the best of your ability. Then, be ready with a few follow-up inquiries that show you under-stood the points the employer thought were most important. Once you have the job, your competence can speak for itself.

Whatever you are hired to do; you will do a better job of it if you are a team player. Since Leo is a fixed sign, you are likely to have definite opinions about everything that goes on. But that doesn’t mean you have to force them on others. Guard against stubbornness. Instead of insisting on your own way, ask your co-workers what they think would be the best way to approach the task at hand.

When you do end up in charge of other people, you will expect them to follow your own high work standards, and you may become rather impatient when they fail to measure up. You will have to learn to be tolerant of these lesser human beings!

The planets give you a good mix of luck and common sense to help your fortune grow. Many Leos have the Midas touch – almost everything they tough turns to gold. Even Lions whose luck is less spectacular have the ability to make a comfortable living and finance an equally comfortable retirement. There’s no doubt that Leo would rather splurge than save. But with Mercury guiding your finances through frugal Virgo, you have the discipline to make short-term sacrifices in order to realized long-term gains. Bargain-hunting Virgo may seem to have little in common with regal Leo, but the two complements each other well.

Neptune rules your joint ventures through Pisces. Since Mercury rules your friendship sign, Gemini, as well as Virgo, you are able to mix business with pleasure. Pisces is the sign of imagination and inspiration, so you and your buddies can have some pretty far-fetched dreams. But if their skills and experience complement yours, you could get rich collaborating.

You are at your best inverting for the long term once your immediate needs are met. Choose Leo-friendly stocks such as solar power and products associated with sun, like swimsuits and suntan lotion. Or dabble in gold and metal investments. Virgo’s influence suggests other possibilities, like broadcasting, publishing and pet services.

Leos usually have a pretty robust constitution, but you tend not only to hate cold weather but also to suffer slightly from poor circulation. You usually walk tall, and that is very goof for you. But your spine can give you a certain amount of trouble. You may suffer from back pain, for example, if you have to spend many hours at a desk, and yoga or simple stretching routines are excellent remedies.,

You will also enjoy team sports, provided you manage to get yourself elected captain. When you are, watch out that you don’t overdo things. You will naturally want to show everyone that can lead to pains and strains. Once you have found a form of exercise that you enjoy, you will probably stick to it well into your 90s. You will get to know your body really well and learn to channel your energy better and learn to channel your energy better and pace yourself. Try to avoid showing off at the gym. Such behavior won’t win you any popularity contests – and you may end up injuries.

The heart is ruled by Leo, and you should exercise regularly to keep it in good condition. This also helps the circulation. Most Leos love dancing, and a good dance class is an excellent form of exercise for you – partly because it’s a form of creative exercise, unlike jogging or stepping on and off a platform.

Leos, it is sometimes said, don’t have hobbies – they just have careers. And that is more or less true. In fact, it is difficult to suggest particular activities which will interest you in your spare time or when you retire. For example, if you study archaeology or embroidery in your spare time, you’ll search out the very best teacher, attend the most important digs, buy the most expensive silks. And you will strive to achieve the most complete and dazzling techniques – whether restoring the most delicate and damaged ancient Greek vase or stitching the most beautiful bishop’s miter ever embroidered!

The problem, if you want to call it a “problem,” is that you tend to regard pursuing a hobby as just as important as earning a living – and you will want to be equally successful.
