All about Leo

In work you do well on your own or in a managerial position overseeing others for you can easily spur them to reach for accomplishments they never imagined. You love to see people thrive from your advice for you bathe in the admiration they have for your guidance.

Life is a stage and everybody has their role. You practice at being tough, but you are a very warm-hearted individual for those who get to know you closely. In fact, it is all but too easy for some to play on your sympathetic nature.

You have to be careful about overdoing, for sometimes there is a tendency for you to reach too far beyond your grasp. Your need to do things in a grandiose manner sometimes overpowers your good sense of reason, and for this reason you must be careful of indulgences, such as alcohol, gambling or any form of ego- sensations that could get out of hand and difficult to control.

In love you are ardent, fiery, demanding and bold. You can be highly- sexed and showingly romantic. You often attach yourself to someone who you see as helpless in some way who needs your attention to thrive. You are especially compatible with Aries (whose powerful sense of self and independence helps you to dare yourself to reach greatness) and from Sagittarius (who teaches you to be honorable in your destinations in life).

Your karma is to shine in every endeavor you undertake, and by so doing you teach others all that is possible to achieve. The more you build a life of honor, the closer you will be to all your dreams.
