Leo, the Lion

Leo is "Fire" to the core! Fire brings a desire to create, to innovate, to lead. The sign represents mega–confidence that seems to radiate out. Of course there must be an audience there to applaud! The "Fixed" motivation adds self–reliant action that works well in leadership positions. Fixed means Leo is a formative energy, with an ability to consolidate and stabilize.

And of course Fire can rage out of control, so the extremes can bring a need to balance the self–confidence with humility! To become the humble but lovable lion. The playfulness associated with Leo, can regress to childish "demand" for attention rather than just acknowledging recognition and applause. This is when the Yang needs the Yin — allowing peaceful receptivity to surface. To allow that big, beautiful heart and "sunshiny" spirit to balance giving and receiving.
