Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is the central sign of the fiery triplicity. Ruled by Sun, there is nothing complicated about Leo - they are the king, the boss and the leader. They know that they are far better at organizing everyone else's life than they are capable of. And if they accept it, all will be well. They are affectionate, enthusiastic, cheerful and optimistic people. Their mission is to 'bring the sunshine into other people's lives'.

It is a valuable quality, and they should not neglect it. Surprisingly, they are often sensitive and get hurt very easily. Not that they will demonstrate it. If they are treated unjustly, they will show great magnanimity. But if they get really angry, they will put on the full regal act at once. They will 'mount the throne' and make it clear in no uncertain terms that the impertinent fool who has been stupid enough to consider himself as equal, steps back to his `proper place.'

Whatever may be the person's background, a Leo will always have a kingdom of some sort. They have a pronounced flair for drama. They can create scenes in order to be the center of attention. Their theatrical mind reflects in positive and lively ways too - in dressing splendidly, doing things in a big way, organizing outings, and altogether making sure they get the best of everything - as well as providing the best they can for others. They are extravagant; money slips through their fingers. They are not only adept at organizing other people, they themselves are hard workers, and can set a good example.

People born in this sign have obvious faults. They can be intolerant, pompous and over dogmatic. A Leo should make a habit of reassessing their opinion as often as possible. They should try and make use of the natural, spontaneous, warm-hearted charm, which they undoubtedly possess.
