Leo Sun sign basic personality

Leos are born organizers who need control in their lives. With the slightest encouragement their organizational ability will filter into the disordered lives of others.

The risk lies in the likelihood of Leo taking over completely, because they hate to see ability wasted. Their worst fault is in assuming they always know best. Leos may also be extremely dogmatic, and need to cultivate more flexible attitudes and respect for the opinions of others.

They are known for their characteristic warmth, generosity and desire to understand others as much as for their self-indulgence and taste for luxury and the finer things in life.

A powerfully creative urge is present in every Leo and must be expressed; otherwise a very great deal of potential will be wasted. This does not mean all Leos are painters, actors or sculptors. Creation can take place in the kitchen, at the sewing machine, in the garden or at the workbench.

They have an innate enthusiasm for life and the Sun ruling this sign gives Leos an infectious vitality. They need to live life to the full, and like to see others doing so as well.

They have an inner sun that illuminates their own lives and activities and also energizes others. Lack of fulfillment, professionally or personally, can totally destroy a Leo and cloud their personality.
