Your zodiac horoscope for Leo
LEO
Dear Leo! Remember that you have strong character traits that carry you firmly through life. By nature you are brave, you like to know everything and you long to be understood.
The zodiac sign Leo
Your sign belongs to the fire trigon, which is why your character is impatient and fiery. Remember that you are quick to act, easily moved and quick to lose your enthusiasm.
Since time immemorial the Lion has been a symbol of power and courage. It is the king of beasts and the symbol of one of the four evangelists. The winged lions of Assyria still inspire awe today, and the mysterious Egyptian sphinx was a creature with a human face and a lion’s body.
The constellation of Leo symbolises one of the labours of Heracles – slaying the Nemean lion. Besides the Sun, other planets also influence those born under Leo. The first decan is ruled by ominous Saturn, the second by Jupiter and the third by Pluto.
People born under this sign have the qualities ascribed to the Sun: their hearts hold pride and ambition, boldness and loftiness. Leo has flaws too. One of the worst is conceit. Leo’s friends and family simply have to accept all the flaws in their character.
Leos differ from one another depending on the decan in which they were born. Those born in the first decan (23 July to 2 August) are under the influence of the Sun. They are resilient people with power, splendour and great pride. They can be harsh and unpleasant, impulsive, and all too often let their passions show. They are very sociable and fall in love easily. They have a sense of superiority.
In the second decan of Leo (3–12 August), Jupiter has endowed them with many interesting character traits, such as a gift for persuasion and a strong sense of pride. They also show certain extremes of temperament. They are said to be the happiest of all Leos, although at times they experience conflicting feelings.
They are readily drawn to religious and cultural moods and consider themselves intuitive. They love long journeys to faraway places.
The third decan of Leo (13–23 August) is additionally watched over by Pluto, which gives them particular traits such as changeable views combined with a strong lust for power.
They have a strong aptitude for technical and military professions. They like giving orders and are brave, often even aggressive. In them, the powers of the mind and the impulses of the heart are well balanced. People from this decan are lively, enterprising and self-assured.
Astrology experts believe that Leos are best suited to being judges, lawyers and military officers. Leos are not good at bringing up children, so professions such as teacher, nursery nurse or lecturer are not recommended.
It is worth getting to know Leos, and even trying to befriend them, although maintaining a friendship with them is hard work.

The sign of Leo is ruled absolutely by the Sun, which since the dawn of history has been worshipped as a fearsome yet life-giving deity.
Solar cults came later than the worship of the Moon. Farmers needed the Sun, so people began to make offerings and pray to it.
It was believed that each year the Sun faded away at the winter solstice and was then reborn.
The Babylonians saw the Sun as the god Shamash, who was both ruler and judge of the world. The rising and setting Sun was a symbol of order and harmony, and also of law.
In Egypt the Sun was identified with the god Ra.
In Greece the Sun was represented as the god Helios. The Greeks also worshipped Apollo as a radiant solar deity.
The Christian world celebrated Christmas at the time of the winter solstice, from which point the days begin to grow longer again.
And when the Sun is in Aries, the Christian world celebrates the Resurrection of the Lord – which is why the Lamb of God was often depicted surrounded by a solar disc.
As you can see, the Sun was ever-present in many beliefs and cultures. In magic, too, it is hard to do without the Sun.
The Sun is changeable and rules in various signs. Its home is Leo, but it also watches over the first decan of Virgo, the second of Aries and the third of Gemini.
The Sun is masculine in nature. Those born under favourable solar aspects have many positive traits, such as a love of ideals, integrity and enthusiasm.
In less favourable configurations with other planets, these positive traits turn into pride, imposing one’s will on others and oppression.
The Sun is the most powerful body in our system, our nearest star and the main source of the energy that reaches the Earth. It is 200 times larger than the Earth.
- Leo traits
Energy, liveliness, enterprise, hot blood and great passion – these are some of the most important traits of the majestic Leo.
They are decisive in word and deed. Leos know how to reach the goal they dream of, pursuing it at any cost without regard for the other side.
They act very impulsively, on the spur of the moment or according to their mood. Their behaviour depends on how they feel, and they show their likes and hatreds openly. Some Leos are very vehement and hot-tempered. Leos display great obstinacy, doggedness and pride.
Most of them are noble individuals blessed with great understanding and perseverance.
In most cases Leos are very intelligent, but they don’t like to overexert themselves, so they are rarely top of the class at school.
Young and old Leos alike prefer dancing, frolics and life’s pleasures to grey everyday routine.
Leos feel most at home in the liberal professions and in independent positions where they can direct others.
They crave fame, have a strong character and like to influence the behaviour and decisions of others. When they fall in love, they are passionate and warm-hearted. Yet Leos are not especially suited to long-term relationships.
Some Leos love gambling, risk and spontaneity. They expect an enormous amount from life. They love wealth, money and abundance. Finances usually cause them trouble: they want plenty of money but don’t like working hard for it.
Leo’s inner life is ruled by love, which, though usually short-lived, is always hot and powerful.
The Leo man has a rich nature that sets him apart from those around him. Leo men can be selfish and intolerant. He values family and friendships, but his character is very changeable.
Leo women are impulsive, domineering and proud, yet also sensitive and delicate. They are excellent at running a home, even in difficult conditions. They are sincerely devoted to their men, although they adore being admired by others.
LEO and the secrets of the sign
Many attributes are assigned to Leo, such as a metal, a stone, a colour and a diet.
The metal that brings Leo luck is gold. Known since ancient times, it has always been associated with gods and rulers. Royal insignia were made of gold, and it was offered to the gods and to deceased pharaohs.
All the colours of the sun and of gold suit Leo.
The best gems for Leo, which can serve as talismans, are those the colour of gold. Sardonyx helps Leos develop the gift of eloquence, which they need to win wide acclaim. Another stone is chrysolite, which is said to ward off evil spirits; set in gold, it can help Leos look to the future more intuitively.
Olivine strengthens marital harmony and also attracts great wealth.
Yellow, orange and brown topaz soothes anger and wins the goodwill of those around you.
Amber, meanwhile, works its beneficial magic. It protects Leos from the evil eye, dark forces and black magic. Amber was considered the gem closest to the Sun.
Leo’s lucky numbers are 1, 81 and 91
Leo can wear perfumes scented with heliotrope, lavender and oregano.
Leo’s plants are all the flowers of the Sun – sunflowers, pomegranate, orange, lemon, peony and exotic plants.
Leos are usually healthy. Rheumatism is their greatest danger. Leos need to pace their efforts wisely and take care to renew their vital energy.
Leos love to eat, so they need to be careful not to develop weight problems over time.
- Favourable signs
Social and marital connections can be mapped out according to a certain pattern.
- The signs favourable to Leo are – Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aries.
The neutral signs are Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces
The unfavourable combinations are Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus.
Closest to Leo are the other signs of the fire trigon, Aries and Sagittarius.
Aries loves a fight, has a great sense of humour and is blunt in word and deed. Aries, however, can’t keep secrets, so it is not wise to open your heart to them.
Nor is it worth fighting Aries with their own methods – you’ll lose, Leo.
Sagittarians are very active, their characters vary and the range of their abilities is huge. They are impulsive, energetic, creative and impatient. Sagittarius is very mentally active and can easily become Leo’s ally.
Libra, which belongs to the air trigon, is not self-seeking and is rather inhibited, so it is often taken advantage of by a tyrant such as Leo.
Winning a Leo is not hard if his partner is striking and full of sex appeal. Keeping a Leo, however, can be a lot of trouble, because faithfulness and constancy are not his strong points.
The Leo woman is always looking for a real man, and only such a man can capture her. She knows how to forgive, but she has limits she will not cross.
She likes to be surrounded by tenderness and a strong male arm. She is an excellent diplomat and can’t stand falsehood or hypocrisy.
It is very hard to love a Leo – but even harder not to.
- Leo’s potential
Many traits shape Leo’s potential and fate: egocentrism, self-confidence, a sense of presence, a protective streak and a conviction of their own infallibility. Despite their flaws, they are honest, fair and sincere.
By nature Leo is lazy, but if they find the courage, they can make a great effort. They handle their affairs with dignity and ceremony.
They find it easy to offload work onto others and then collect the laurels. It is easy to fool Leo and deceive them. If you praise them to the skies, they believe every word.
Leo’s biggest mistake is judging others by themselves, attributing their own character traits to everyone.
In their circle they want to be seen as the central figure, the absolute ruler. They are individualists and can’t stand being told what to do. They rarely take advice. This comes from a strong sense of self-worth and infallibility. They have a strong sense of drama: wherever Leo goes, they arrive with theatre and dignity.
Leo is a great extrovert. Leo recognises two kinds of opinion – their own and the wrong ones. They regard any opposition with the kind of horror reserved for something truly dreadful.
Towards friends and colleagues they are magnanimous. They inspire trust thanks to their persuasiveness and self-assurance. A circle of flatterers is essential to their life.
Despite their subjectivity, they have a strong sense of justice. They adore splendour, wealth and everything lofty.
- How to seduce a Leo
The best way to win the heart of a Leo man is to catch his attention. A charming, beautiful woman who attracts plenty of interest will stand a chance.
You need many admirers around you for the Leo man to start fighting for his lioness. The woman should show at every turn that she admires him. Leo will love a woman for being exceptional, but he won’t tolerate her pushing him into the background.
To win the heart of a Leo woman, you might start by selling something valuable so that you can shower her with gifts. Never give a Leo woman practical presents. Gifts should sparkle and shine if they are to interest her. She is delighted by impractical, unusual things and precious trinkets.
She must be convinced that she is someone exceptional in her beloved’s eyes.
- Sensual Leo
The Leo woman is a passionate cat, warm and inventive. She is dazzling and intimidating at the same time. Beneath the mask of a tireless lover you can glimpse a creature who longs to dominate. She believes that anyone who won’t submit to her doesn’t love her enough.
A great love is what matters most to her. If she doesn’t find one, she likes to keep a circle of admirers around her, whom she skilfully “makes use of”.
Anyone who knows her nature knows that the most effective way to seduce a lioness is to worship her unconditionally and without end.
The Leo man is a dream lover – but only for a while. The impulses of his heart are very strong. Anyone who wants a stable, satisfying relationship with him, however, must flatter him and keep telling him that he is the best and irreplaceable in everything he does.
The Leo man is sometimes prone to vanity, so his virtues blossom when he is praised.
- Leo and love
For the Leo woman, prosperity and a life of luxury are part of her natural environment and satisfy her taste. She always strives for perfection and wants her wishes to be fulfilled as close to the ideal as possible.
This means that whoever courts her must provide all this. He must treat her like a princess who never lacks anything. Only then will the Leo woman put him on a pedestal and eagerly list his remarkable virtues. Even so, she will not give up a measure of dominance.
The Leo man will find happiness beside a woman who arouses the desire and envy of every man. Everyone must know that he has a goddess at his side. Leo loves, adores and spoils the woman he is proud of.
Leos dazzle and cast an irresistible spell. They are sincere, decisive, wild and passionate.
In love they are very demanding; they live for love and honours. Losing love often leads them to emotional breakdown. There is nothing worse than a Leo’s broken heart.
A Leo in love is intoxicating. Going through the world with a Leo, their partner sees everything around them transform as if by the touch of a magic wand.
There’s no point competing with a Leo in love. You have to be content with the role of their possession and, if you shine, to shine in your partner’s shadow. Leo needs a partner and helper who keeps things running at their popular parties until Leo themselves makes an appearance.
Leo wants to dominate, so the last word must always be theirs.

How to live with a Leo
Whoever wants to spend the rest of their life beside a Leo must earn their favour. They must be elegant and impressive always and everywhere. The whole world should envy Leo their partner, whose task is to play this role patiently and just as patiently flatter Leo’s pride.
You have to give Leo a home that is not only comfortable but also beautiful. The partner’s good taste and looks must catch the eye. The most important task facing Leo’s partner is to highlight all of Leo’s leonine virtues.
Any attempt to take away Leo’s position will end in defeat: Leo can share the throne only with the greatest difficulty and will never forgive anyone who tries to topple them from it.
Whoever loves Leo and the lifestyle Leo offers should tell them as often as possible that they are the best in every respect.
Leo won’t notice much exaggeration in a partner’s extravagant words. They like to be praised and adored and see nothing wrong with it.
Leo is more often found at parties and events than at intimate candlelit dinners for two.
They love appearing in high society, presenting a beautiful and elegant partner to the other guests.
When proud Leo is suffering, they hide away to lick their wounds in solitude. As a rule, Leo is faithful. They may stray now and then, but for them it is purely physical. Never hurt or betray a Leo, because they will never forgive you.
Leo is sincere and loyal, with a strong moral sense. Leo deserves proper treatment and a partner worthy of them.
- The Leo family
Leo is immoderately proud of their family. The family they have founded seems indispensable to them. Their children must be brilliant and ambitious. Their spouse must be wonderful, and everyone should envy them their family.
At home, Leo takes on the role of boss – indeed, of dictator. Things must always go their way. They can’t bear being contradicted.
The values Leo holds dear are noble and at the same time very solid.
For Leo, children are the most important thing in the world. Their home is usually full of joy, respect and liveliness. Leo can be understanding and is able to indulge their children’s whims.
The Leo father surrounds his children with love, which he gives without questions or demands.
With such a father, children begin to want the very best, and he does his utmost to provide it. Leo wants their children to achieve great success, which they value highly. Sometimes, however, Leo explodes with anger, terrifying everyone.
The Leo mother doesn’t aim to have many children. She usually has one, at most two. She loves her children, spoils them and looks after them superbly. She is an excellent teacher and educator. Sometimes she wants to know everything her child is thinking, which means that later on she meddles unnecessarily in her children’s lives.
The little Leo cub comes into the world and quickly becomes the centre of attention – and usually stays that way for the rest of their life. Friends respect the young Leo, in whom temperament, strong will and a desire to dominate are emerging.
Leo cubs are charming, cheerful and well-behaved. They want to be shown love, affection and respect. Parents should watch over their sensitive child and protect them from hurts at home.
Leo children have no problems at school. Girls are always praised. In both love and money, a Leo child will find happiness as long as they can shine. Young Leos can be a little lazy and may give in to idleness, forgetting the values instilled in them.
- Leo and money
Leo longs for wealth, needing splendour, glamour and financial security. Leo hopes never to run short of money. Leo loves spending money. Yet they are also happy to donate to foundations and charities, if they have the means.
They love spending money on presents, gifts, parties, social gatherings and trips abroad. They love surrounding themselves with wealthy company and expensive things. Their table is never short of delicacies, costly dishes and exquisite meals.
They can’t resist sudden impulses of the heart or infatuations, sometimes founded on illusion. Leo never shrinks from risk and never hides behind others.
Leo understands investment and financial transactions. Fate blesses them with luck and success on the stock market and in games of chance.
- Leo at work
Leo can face up to adversity in professional matters. Leo is disciplined and an excellent organiser. They head for their goal and don’t worry about trifles or temporary setbacks.
They decide quickly and don’t listen to advisers, which can sometimes be their undoing. They don’t like being disturbed at work. They want to be appreciated in the company – indeed, they want to be irreplaceable.
They believe they can find the golden mean in any problem. Sometimes they delegate work to others, but they plan every one of their moves meticulously.
If Leo’s boss is sensible and can appreciate such an excellent employee, they get on well and are happy working together. If the boss fails to notice this, however, Leo would rather quit and look for something else than stay on.
Leo dreams of glory and distinctions. They get promoted, but always honestly.
Courage, decisiveness and foresight mean that Leos often go for leadership roles. You will often find Leos in the positions of directors, managers, bosses or owners of their own businesses.
They are strong and reluctant to take advice from colleagues. When difficulties arise, their motivation to keep going only grows.
They are excellent negotiators. They know how to multiply profits and want to earn good money from their skills – which is why you will never see a Leo working as a volunteer. Leo has so many leadership qualities that they are often found in senior positions.
They love new experiences, so they find it hard to stay in one place. Once they have reached the top in a job, they look for other interesting opportunities to grow.
- Leo’s free time
Leo wants to be the constant centre of attention. They are lavish, because they like to draw their guests’ attention to their wealth and to themselves.
They go to the opera and the theatre, to social gatherings and golf courses – anywhere they can be seen and shine.
They love sport, although they don’t like to overexert themselves day to day. They love fast, dynamic and sometimes dangerous sports such as skiing, skydiving, kitesurfing and so on.
They love spending their free time travelling and on trips out of town. They love novelty, so they want to explore and get to know other cultures.
When the sun sinks below the horizon, Leo wakes up to nightlife. They love meeting friends, going on dates and having fun.
Their energy peaks, however, around midday.
If you want to get a company moving or set up a new branch, you can trust Leo completely – they will handle everything.
The Leo woman is sensational when it comes to throwing parties. She has excellent taste, knows how to entertain guests and how to choose original dishes.
- LEO and their home
Leo loves splendour and the beauty of things both small and large. Leo’s home should be surrounded by tall, old trees. The interiors are tasteful and well furnished. The table must be laid masterfully and lavishly. Leo’s home is bright and spacious. These people like antiques and old, valuable pieces combined with modern design.
Leo likes to be surrounded by beautiful and expensive objects. They like to live beyond their means. They love hosting and organising parties. They take care of every element of their home’s decor.
Their house or flat bears witness to its owner’s good taste, even if it is small. Leo wants a fortune that would let them create a large, spacious house that they would furnish themselves.
If Leo has their own flat, it is usually on the top floor, so they can look out over the city skyline.
If they decide on a house, they build it differently from everyone else: there must be columns, large terraces, spacious rooms and a hipped roof.
They love spending time in the living room, where they have a superb, simple and very classic fireplace. The bathroom has lots of taps, perfumes and hooks. The bathtub usually resembles a swimming pool.
Leo is an extrovert and generally has no corner they could shut away from others.
- The Leo psyche
Imposing their will on the world is Leo’s priority. If they succeed, they are very pleased with themselves, and life beside Leo is then a real joy. The sign of Leo has many faces. Some of Leo’s traits are constant, others changeable. Among the constant ones are courage and standing up for friends.
They fight to impose their opinion. They were born to lead and command and are not used to listening to others.
Leo does not fall into self-worship. They are very demanding of themselves. If something doesn’t work out, they suffer deeply, and that is when those closest to them must comfort and support them.
Their will to dominate others, to organise and to create knows no bounds.
They sometimes manipulate people, but they are not a scheming hypocrite. There is no envy or jealousy in them.
They often wrestle with fate and want to bend it to the lion’s will.
Leo has no time for platonic feelings or romantic idealism. They can be narcissistic, and when they see that people admire them, they begin to admire themselves too. Sometimes Leo lacks self-belief, and the kind words of those around them often satisfy them for a while.
They strive for perfection and love it when others shower them with praise. Leo sometimes has a tendency towards extraordinary deeds, at times heroic and very spectacular.
Leo can control themselves, although they sometimes explode with anger.
Anyone who hurts a Leo had better run. Leo never forgives – and even if they do, a thorn remains in their heart. Leo may also bring up old mistakes at the most unexpected moments.
- Elements and seasons
Leo has a fiery temperament, which is why it belongs to the fire trigon. Besides Leo, this trigon includes Aries and Sagittarius.
The fire of Aries, considered primordial, gives rise to life. The fire of Sagittarius, on the other hand, is capricious, pretending to be calm and composed.
Leo’s fire plays a great role and is mighty. It shows the energy and strength given to it by the friendly Sun.
Leo’s time is August, when the Sun blazes with all its might. Leo must be careful, however, not to use up the energy stored in the body too quickly while the Sun is shining. They must remember to keep reserves for winter.
- The heart – the organ associated with this sign, often beats harder during this period. The whole circulatory system corresponds to the sign of Leo.
The month that brings Leo down is February.
