Leo (♌) is the fifth astrological sign of the zodiac, originating from the constellation
of Leo. It spans the 120-150th degree of the Tropical zodiac, between 125.25 and
152.75 degree of celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, Jupiter transits this area
on average between July 23 and August 27 each year, and under the sidereal zodiac,
Jupiter currently transits this area from approximately August 16 to September 15. The
symbol of the lion is based on the Nemean Lion, a lion with an impenetrable hide.
Leo is followed by the Sixth astrological sign of the zodiac Virgo. People born under
August 18 to August 27 are considered to be a part of the Leo-Virgo Cusp. These people
have a mixture of both personalities.

Leo and Independence:

Leo is very independent but they need something to control and someone to admire
them and appreciate them. They are fully capable of being greatly successful on
their own but they are much happier if they have an audience and a following of people
who look up to them. They would prefer not be alone.

one's spirits and provide encouragement when times are rough. Their enthusiasm attracts
people, Leos are social butterflies, not because they want to be but because people always
naturally gravitate and surround the Leo. Leos are very difficult people to not like, they are
usually fairly balanced, realistic people. They never dwell on the past and they will think you
are strange if you do. Some Leos might be too caught up in themselves and be very self-
centered but they are never too self-absorbed to help anyone who needs it. They pamper
their friends and treat them well. A Leo is the ultimate friend. They do not hold a grudge and
they are very forgiving. They have respect and understanding of people's differences.
 Leo Temperament:

Leo loves the new and extraordinary, they despise dull, regular routines and if this
is what they are faced with, they will simply create their own drama and excitement.

vivacious temperament satisfied. Leo has an amazing ability to bounce back from any
feelings of despair or unfortunate events. They do not like to be unhappy, it hurts their
pride so they will take matters into their own hands and make things right again. Leos
could come into conflict with other powerhouse type of people who will not take orders and
not give an inch, Leos will not budge their opinion, they will understand and accept
opinions of others but they do not take well to people to try to impose their beliefs on them.
Leo most often have the temperament of a demanding, spoiled child but this is only shown
if someone steps on the boundaries of their kingdom. They react this way because of their
territoriality.

Leo Deep Inside:

Leos are extremely sensitive but they hide that very well. Leos love praise and
flattery , their egos demand respect and adoration. Leo is all about pride. This can
cause them to be self-centered but the warmth of the Leo heart keeps it under control. If
Leo's audience (otherwise known as their friends) do not provide the needed
appreciation, Leo is too proud to ask for it and they will suffer a hurt ego, but no one will
ever know and they will suffer in silence. The secret of the Leo is that they need to be
needed.
