You, my dear Leo friend, are one of the most self-assured individual in the zodiac. As a sign of the high summer, Leo is linked with the sun, which gives you a “hot nature”. Your fiery desire and focused will to draw attention, give you the confidence to ROAR your kingly power without reservation. An enormous love of life, frolic and play, amusements, family and children are among the activities and enjoyment that affirm your life existence – something the rest of us need to learn from you. Abundantly favored by the Sun God, you are indeed the chosen as monarch of all the sun signs.

Depicted in the tarot card Strength, corresponding to Leo, is a maiden, gently attempting to pry open the jaws of a ferocious beast, the Lion, king of the jungle. Noticeably above the maiden’s head is a figure 8 showing sideways, a symbol of eternity and inner harmony. An ancient astrological aphorism says, “Leo rules by the divine right and Capricorn by delegated authority”. It is through your gentle approach, refined manner and focused determination, that you, my dear Leo friend, are able to persuade even the most difficult and unapproachable human on earth. There’s only one stumbling block...  

As a fixed fire sign, being loved by others is your mantra in this life. Some of you, dear Leo friends expect your loved ones to be subservient to your rules – a common problem in reality, in any relationship or work department. As a “monarch” of all signs, you believe yourself to be the authority at all times and delegating to others may be one of your biggest challenges, until you realize that delegating is a form of sharing – one area you are so capable and willing to do.

To some Leos the Solar Eclipse on July 21^st and the Lunar Eclipse on August 5^th this year 2009, will activate some dramatic changes in your lifestyle. Some opportunities being presented can last for months and even years.
