I Am My Zodiac Sign

The Lion is considered the king of the jungle, and likewise you Leos have an air of royalty about you. Some Leos even have hair resembling the thick mane of the Lion. But Lions are more than roar, for they are truly magnificent beasts. The Lioness proudly cares for the young, hunts and takes care of survival with relentless intent and ferocity, when needed. And proud are you Leo! Perhaps that's why Leo often chooses work that puts you in the center of stage or in the spotlight of appreciation.

Leo are warm of spirit, eager for action and are driven by a desire to be loved for what you bring to others. Leo are a magnanimous leader and a faithful servant. Once scorned in love, however, Leo will withdraw your affections and the light, once brilliant, can go cold.

Leo motto might be "What you see is what you get." You tend to live your live straightforwardly and with a flair for drama. In fact, many Leos are attracted to the theater, the performing arts and public relations, for you truly understand the importance of putting on a good presentation. As you blaze gloriously through your life, remember to take time to acknowledge the feelings of those around you. If you forget, you could unconsciously hurt someone you love. But, if you remain aware your impact, others can benefit from your presence.

I'm not a die hard believer that Zodiac traits are always true. In fact, many of us can identify with traits from several signs. For example, while I am indeed a Leo at heart, I am highly organized and a stickler for details like the Virgo. Like Geminis, I can be prone to moodiness. I am many things, although I must say that there's definitely something to the way the stars align in a given month to create such distinctly different and recognizable personalities.

I warn people not to rely on the Zodiac to tell them who you are, how you're going to respond to a given situation, who you'll get along with, etc. Too many people put major stock into horoscopes and Zodiac descriptions. Just as we shy away from calling children "bad" because we know that believing that could lead to bad behavior, we all have to be careful not to adopt traits or excuse negative traits because of what we're told we are.

Embrace YOU first.
