Leo Quotes
“The vibrations of Leo, ruled by the Sun itself, are things you can actually feel throughout your whole being in the presence of a lion or lioness.” – Linda Goodman
“A Leo has to walk with pride.” – Wesley Snipes
“Confidence is key, dear Leo. You take charge and others take notice. You’re dominant and never passive. You make the first move and are the one to turn up the temperature.” – Bob Alaburda
Leo Archetypes and Traits
Archetypes: the star of the show, the extrovert, the creator, the protector, the lion
Their light: big thinkers, generous, enthusiastic, faithful, loving
Leos have an authoritative presence and do well in leadership positions. They love to be seen and also do well in public-facing creative roles where they can shine: singing, acting, podcasting, etc. They are charismatic and radiant, drawing attention and admiration from others easily.
Their shadow: pompous, self-centered, bulldozing others
Those with placements or angles in Leo should look out for any tendencies they have to be egotistical and view themselves as “holier than thou.” Watch out for excessive self-indulgence and prioritizing one’s own needs or desires over others as well.
