Traits

The sun sits in the center of the solar system and represents fuel, energy, and is the vital life force that powers all the other planets. So for Leo whose ruling planet is the sun, this means they also like to be the center of attention, they bring warmth to situations and have a natural gravity that pulls other people closer.
Leo's classical traits stem from its active, masculine, or yang qualities, which make this sign appear assertive when they are engaging with the outer world.
Blessed with high self-esteem, Leo’s don't believe in false modesty and will be the first to praise themselves for a job well done. That said don’t think of Leo as a bragger because they are not! Leos are willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in, they know and understand that to be respected and admired, they need to put in the effort worthy of a leader.
As a fixed sign, Leo has qualities of being a sustainer, which makes those born under this sign dedicated and great leaders. Ruled by the sun, Leo’s can be described as the "performers" of the zodiac, bravely and courageously putting themselves at the heart of any situation or task.
Possibly the most common Leo traits are strength, independence, self-reliance, and confident, which makes Leo able to face the toughest task on their own in a self-assured, independent, and resourceful manner.
Positive Strengths
The Lion is the King of the jungle, he is strong, courageous, and prideful, people born under this star sign display similar qualities. They are full of endless energy and power.
They are born leaders who are never ready to sacrifice their power. You can expect Leo to take the lead in no matter what the situation, whether it is at work, in a team situation or even within the family. The Leo leader is generally innovative, inventive, and creative and although this makes them appear to be dominating sometimes, their intentions are normally always good. They can lead with strong yet gentle words.
An energetic Leo will give 100% effort into any task that they believe in. They are motivators with a natural charisma and an intuition that tells them they belong under the spotlight.
With a straightforward, uncomplicated, and positive attitude they know what they want, and they know how to get it.
Just like the animal world where the lion fiercely protects the members of their pride, humans born in the sun of this zodiac sign will have the same instinct to protect those they love. Leo feels responsible for the people they care about and value, especially those that are vulnerable and needy of them.
Intense, passionate, strong, assertive, and energetic, Leos love social interactions and have no problem making friends. Although trying to get a Leo spend time with you can be another story. Leos tend to put themselves first and will turn down invitations that don't fit in with their agenda or what they class as fun, because of this Leo can be seen as arrogant at times.
Leos are loyal, dependable, reliable, and trustworthy and will expect the same in return.
Their generosity makes them popular with friends and family. They like the finer things in life and can be lavishly sumptuous which can make them appear big-headed, this should not be perceived as a negative quality, because on the flipside they are kind, warm-hearted and would not turn their back on anyone who is seeking help.
Passion - Leos are attentive, caring, and passionate and will want to be the best partner you've ever had. They love grand gestures and can't resist flashiness and as such will quite often buy their partner the biggest and best present their money can buy.
Leo's Greatest Challenges
The lion’s roar is loud, and so is Leos, so learning to be quiet and listen is critical if Leo is to reach the peak of power, especially if the voice that they are hearing doesn't match their confidence level and belief. And while Leo thrives on high-speed decision making and taking quick actions, they could at times benefit from taking a bit more time to ponder and research a subject before making their opinion known.
Leo’s crave attention they want to be popular and praised and can be insatiable when it comes to being appreciated, getting attention and words of gratitude. Sometimes their desire for praise can be exhausting, I mean who wants to applaud someone for every minor achievement, but in the case of Leo this can become a necessity!
