lllllThe Fiery Leo Characterlllll
A Leo soul is an interesting expression of life -- the true showman and star of the Zodiac, and like all good actors he has a personality for all occasions and he does play his roles so well. He can be a delightful mix of youthful exuberance, playfulness, enthusiasm and joy ... like a real-life Peter Pan, the kid who refuses to grow up. He can be an inspiring leader ... able to rally followers and inspire confidence with his own dramatic displays of courage and personal charisma. He can be the elegant, creative artist and performer who knows how to charm his audience and hold the spotlight of attention like a well-polished jewel in the palm of his hand. He can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time ... and, in fact, is famous for wielding that talent. Indeed, on occasion, there is nothing so rousing as a true Leo on full display -- even with all the pomp and ceremony aside, which it rarely is, if he gets his way. But he can also be insufferable, arrogant, temperamental, over-bearing, self-involved, pretentious ... and patently ridiculous, when finally his own pride topples him and his fondness for the sensational, attention grabbing gestures sends him way over the top. That happens. In fact, that happens a lot. Leos are natural gamblers. They love to take a chance, to roll the dice, to set up that risky situation where they could win really, really big -- and then put themselves, their abilities, their nicely-polished and fluffed-up egos, and their sincere belief that they deserve the Grand Prize on the line ... and see what comes of it. They are, after all, a Fire Sign who believes "No guts, no glory." And Leo craves huge helpings of public glory. He needs to succeed in a most public arena -- with stakes worth the alarm and tension, and then some. You don't do this by being a wimp and playing it safe. You do it in that exhilarating way -- with flair and style -- that Leos naturally carry out so well. When you win, of course, it's marvelous. There are flashbulbs popping and champagne all around. And Leos can give the most wonderful off-the-cuff acceptance speeches -- acknowledging how, in all modesty, they deserve every smidgen bit of this award and celebrity. But obviously, big risks are big risks because of the potential down-side. That can be significant. And when Leo catches his toe in a crack right at the moment of making his great leap for the big brass ring, and does a pratfall instead, his ego is often not equipped to handle well the bruises and scrapes he gets for his trouble. Leo wants to be a hero, and he is not an especially gracious loser. He'd often like to be magnanimous to the other winner -- if only for the sake of whatever image he can salvage from a bad situation -- but lacking a lot of subtlety in his very public character, the disappointment usually shows. Part of his downfall, too -- and it usually takes Leo a long time to snap to this -- is that so much of his drama is self-aggrandizing rather than altruistic. And when it comes to romance ... oooh, la, la ... there is nothin' like a Leo with courtship on his mind (or her mind)!! When you have a Leo lover on the line ... you are in for one first class adventure. Everyone should do it at least once. Again, when you're dealing with a Leo, you're in the company of someone whose Inner Kid is usually right there on the surface, ready to flash that patented show of tooth enamel and come out to take a few bows. Leo is renowned for the way he likes to frolic and amuse himself. That's how it is when, in Life's game, you are the star of the show. And no matter how old he or she gets to be, you can always see in a Leo's exploits the outlines of the little scrapper they once were ... shouting, "Hey, Ma, watch this!!" as they prepare to do something heart-stopping, often involving heights and with no net below. Sometimes it's a wonder any of them grow up -- let alone grow old. =You are most compatible with= Gemini - full of laughter. Aries - memorable. Cancer - loving. Libra - great fun.
