Element : Fire
Quality: Fixed
Ruling house: Fifth
Ruling planets: Sun
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac. Its ruling planet is the Sun, which gives great power and energy to the natives born under this sign. Leo natives are usually “natural born leaders”, expecting others to follow them, and, most of the time, giving enough of a good guidance to be validated as leaders.
Their nature is generous, open and somehow playful. Although they can act with great vigor, they also seem to run out of fuel rather quickly. Their fire quality makes the energies to run high and whatever area of your life will be influenced by a Leo, you will feel it, in a rather clear and open manner.
As partners they need constant attention and that may make the partnership a bit difficult, especially if the spouse needs attention too. But if attention giving is not a problem from the part of the partner, Leo, always occupying the first place on the stage, will perform beautifully.
In business they tend to be risk takers, and, although they don’t excel in intuition, this attitude usually yields good results. Not necessarily because the decision was a good one, business-wise, but rather because they’re committed to make it work no matter what. They’re not usually good team players, but they’re very good team makers, having the ability to inspire and motivate the people around them, so, eventually, the goal is reached.
In communication, natives born under this sign will use clear statements, make their point transparent and usually they’ll be right about it. A slight inability to compromise, though, may make them quite uncomfortable, at times.
Leo rules the fifth house of the zodiac.
