With Sun as its ruling planet, a Leo is to people as the Sun to the solar system. With the similar charm and importance that matches the Sun, a Leo gives out affection and radiance to all around it. Reliable as a Sun too, Leo will not go anywhere and stay on till he/she has to, faithfully.

Spreading warmth and radiance wherever they go, when at their best, they can flood the worthy with appreciation what they truly feel for them, but not to the worthless.

Leos are very confident about themselves, but they sometimes may not come across to others feeling as self assured or extrovert as they usually are. They may be restricted by the fear of being laughed at or doing something that might later get them in an embarrassing situation. Leos are very loving and friendly but do hold an inclination to having things done their way. Also, Leos have a tendency to lose interest in an acquired position, relation or thing if it is bringing along with it, frequent challenges.

There motto in life is to live dangerously on the edge. Leos are creative persons and can be found indulging in painting, acting, or sculpting too. Their creativity may not necessarily be a displayed art, or the one which could be made public, but rather, it could also be creativity with cooking, baking and gardening.

Their vigor and liveliness is contagious to all around them, as they light up their lives with their warmth and radiance. Another significant trait of Leos is their need for control in their lives.

A Leo should develop a flexible frame of mind, and be ready to accept what others have to say, keeping in mind that they themselves night not always be right. Only when they make an attempt to open up and listen to others, can the typical Leo traits warmth, kindness, and caring be fully cosseted.

Leos love children, as when with them, they are not under pressure to maintain their position and egos or to care for what others may feel. With kids, they behave like them too, giving themselves an opportunity to let go of their poised avatar and onto a more child-like and naïve Leo.

And just like the kids, Leos are unpredictably sensitive and can get easily upset on small things rather than big blunders. Although secretly sensitive, Leos do have a tendency to control and dictate which is not mostly a negative trait, but a rather caring gesture with the sole intention of bringing out the best in the people they care about, associated with or work with.
