(July 21 - August 20)

As if the Lion rules the forest, Leo rules everybody, which includes you too! They walk straight and proud, with the grace of a cat. That lazy look is deceptive; never be taken in by that. The dignity and calmness hides sheathed but sharp claws.

They will lecture you on many things, including how to run your lives, but they are not experts at running their own lives, unfortunately. That is what makes them lovable! Their scrupulous honesty and superiority, their ego, wisdom, pride, and generosity are all tamed by simple flattery. Their vanity is their Waterloo and their bite is definitely inferior to their roar. Roaring comes naturally to them, whether it is a lion or a lioness.

Coming to romance, love is synonymous with life for the Leos. They will take care of you and be a fiercely loyal friend, but remember, by nature, they are also powerful enemies. In spite of the arrogance that stands out, they have hearts of pure gold.

Coming to romance, you have a made-to-order situation here. Expect protectiveness, chivalry, sentiment, generosity, and also, ego and jealousy from the Lion. The Lioness will be your ideal mate, the superb hostess and perfect companion. Her ego and aggressiveness may stagger you a little; try some flattery and it is possible you can control her after all!

Fire adds to fire, so Aries and Sagittarius are a good match. Air fans fire so Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, are also good choices for the Lion or Lioness.
