☽ Leo: In Depth ☾

Planet: Sun
Element: Fire
Symbol: Lion

Leos are often outgoing, confident people with a lot of ambition and ego. They enjoy having fun, being in the spotlight, and most importantly, expressing themselves. Leos are very family-oriented and warm. They are often cracking jokes or at least smiling! They are ambitious and driven and once they set their mind to something they will achieve it. Leos can fluctuate between being energetic and being lazy (like a lion) and it all depends on them if they want to do something or not. They don't mind being in the spotlight, some prefer it, and they love talking about their lives, friends, family, and achievements. They also love compliments on anything of these subjects. Leos take good care of their physical image, or are often at least aware of the image they want to project. They make take on a sort of "character": the wise guy, the colorful actor, etc.
As friends, Leos are generous, supportive, and protective. Once a Leo respects you, they make you a part of their family and they'll stand up for you in any situation. Even though Leo may be a bit dramatic and in need of attention, they mean the very best and want their friends to have as much fun as they're having. They like to show off how much they care about a person through their pride: openly complimenting them, putting them in the spotlight, paying for their meals, buying them gifts, etc. Leos like to do just about anything with their friends that involves fun and a chance to be around people and express their feelings and opinions.
As a lover, Leo is again supportive and protective. They are very romantic and a little on the cheesy side. They like to shower their lover in attention and expect the same in return. Their emotions are very dramatic and passionate and may rival a romantic movie in terms of the ups and downs. Disagreements with Leo can almost always be solved with flowers, candy, compliments, and super romantic apologies. Leos as parents are very protective and proud of their families, like the wild lion.
At work, Leo is a comedian and may not always take work seriously. They like to gossip, express their emotions, and bring their drama to work. As a boss they may be in between a professional and a friend to everyone at work. They may be a little selfish and asking them for favors may require some amount of groveling (they have a little bit of a king/queen-complex). They can be bossy and self-righteous. Otherwise, Leo is great with people and makes a good face for any company. They are also maternal/paternal and do great with taking care of kids, animals, and elderly. They may also make good entertainers, sales people, bartenders, and events managers.
