Just Leo

My star sign - Leo. The Western astrological sign Leo of the tropical zodiac (July 24 – August 23). In some cosmologies, Leo is associated with the classical element Fire, and thus called a Fire Sign (with Aries and Sagittarius). Leo is also one of the Fixed signs (along with Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius).

Each astrological sign is assigned a part of the body, viewed as the seat of its power. Leo rules the heart and spine (that's me...I think :-)

How do you describe a Leo? Generally considered generous, fiercely proud and theatircal. To summarise, some the the key phrases, keywords and concepts associated with the Leo sign: "I rule," passionate, bossy, loves attention, dramatic, independent, noble, creative, leader, egoistic, heart/back

Here the Sun blazed in a masculine sign on my birthday. The Sun in astrology stands for our essential nature, the true stamp of our character. The fifth sign of the Zodiac, Leo is ruled by the life-giving Sun, the lord of our solar system. A fixed (strong and solid) sign, Leo governs will and authority. It is a fire sign, which means Leo people are grand, confident and generous, although you tend to be egocentric and can be somewhat overbearing.

The Sun, the ruler of our inner nature, is enthroned in Leo, the sign of its own house, or rulership. This energy is thoroughly regal, the lion being the king of beasts, for proud Leo regards himself as the natural centre of attention - and confidently expects others to step back and pay homage when his bushy mane is displayed in the limelight...

Love of Life (yeah right! ....read on
Glamorous Leo enjoys a thoroughgoing love of life and all its pleasures. As the Sun bestows light and life without favour, the benefactor of every living thing on this earth, so you, genial host and natural entertainer, get inordinate pleasure from helping others enjoy life as much as you do.

Enthusiasm, generosity and your sunny disposition inspires the affection of many friends and admirers (sure??? - had to tell though), while turning those with less popular personalities green with envy. Though full of ambition and enthusiasm, Leo has to admit to a lazy streak and, given the opportunity, will take the easy way out, especially when a situation offers little fun or glory. This is something lazy, luxurious Leo needs to watch (that is so me!! )

Consistency and Determination (Is it me?)
Determined Leo, a fixed sign, can be rather stubborn and resistant to imposed changes. In many ways this is a plus, for it gives you the stamina to accomplish things in life, due to your tenacity. You can stick with projects when other more easily distracted souls lose concentration or interest. This stubbornness, which you prefer to think of as consistency and determination, is, however, dictated more often than not by your ego (there is some truth in it but I need the money and love the hectic life style)

It is easy for pleasure-loving Leo to become addicted to rich food, and as the cat gets older you find yourself putting on weight (oh my god.....that's going to be a NO NO NO for me). Your gregarious nature makes it hard to enjoy or stick to boring, solitary physical fitness routines, (have been doing this for the last couple of years) but you may not mind dressing up in flashy gym outfits (nah - too gay for me!) and joining an exercise class (agreeable). Dancing (when I was younger!), swimming (my knees are giving way (old age!) and may need to take this sports up again), and tennis (me??? - too pompous for me!) are your favourites, though you are quite keen on sports of all kinds.

Playing to the Grandstand
Playing to the grandstand when starring on the field is an everpresent temptation, but perhaps you ought to remember, in team sports even the king of beasts is still supposed to be part of a team. Arts and crafts, theatre groups, philanthropic societies and religious organizations attract your interest and participation (me religous? wow, mom would be satisfied!)

Leo rules the back and heart, so people with Leo active in their charts are subject to over-exertion, general problems with stress in the back (okay - enough gym training!) and ailments of the heart (does emotions include as well?). You have a strong constitution and can usually overcome your problems, many of which are of your own making, due to overindulgence (hahaha - that's probably true as well - I worry too much and can't seem to resolve my issues logically!) .

So that's it - that is why my blog has been christianed Maximus Leo!
