This radiant emperor is not only devoted to himself, but he’s devoted to his subjects as well. Sound like a Leo to you? Enthusiasm, charisma, and self assurance are only some of the qualities that make Leos wonderful leaders. They are warm, generous, and delightful friends as well. Yes, Leo can be quite dramatic for he loves to be adored with attention, but for all the loyalty that he gives to his surroundings, he surely deserves to be showered with royal attention.

Leos have a natural instinct to entertain. They are sharp, lively, and very talkative with magnetic energy that draws people to them. No wonder they get all the attention. They are extravagant and lavish naturally, and aren’t very fond of the ordinary. In fact, if they are put in a situation where there isn’t much going on around them, Leo’s will simply create their own entertainment to amuse themselves. This characteristic of theirs make Leos outstanding hosts with entertainment provided at its best. Luxury is key to Leo’s survival. They love to enjoy life as it comes and live for the moment.

Leo is also very concerned about his public image for he has a huge ego. He spends lavishly even if he doesn’t have much in his pocket. The king will live like a king careless of the fact that he’s in debt. On the upside, he is kind, giving and open hearted and thus very merciful. He may get very angry if done wrong, but in the end he won’t hold a grudge against others. Like the sun, he emits radiant energy that draws people close to him and brings happiness to their lives; for this reason, he is deemed the eternal child.

As mentioned before, Leo is a very good friend, with the warmth that he provides. The best way to become close to a Leo is by flattering him. He likes to be appreciated because he likes to know that he is needed in the world. He has a necessity to be helpful to others. Though he will want you to give him all the praise and adoration that only a king should deserve, he will never ask of you for it; Leo has too much of an ego to admit that he basically needs appreciation of some sort to keep thriving. In return for your appreciation of course, Leo will shower you with devotion and tenderness.

As you would expect, in business, Leo has to be in charge. His work place will be his empire and he will be the emperor. He has a natural instinct assume higher positions and as such Leo has a tendency to get along with others who can be helpful to Leo. He values socializing and thus works best in groups rather than by himself. Yes, he will command what to do, but with all his charm and motivation, people won’t mind doing what they are told. His ambition makes him a hard worker. He tackles his fears headstrong for he feels that if he doesn’t do so, he has ultimately failed. Leo needs to prove to himself that he’s not a failure.

With all these magnificent qualities, it is very easy to get along with a Leo; he doesn’t have many enemies. Like a good friend he loves to advise others, but he has a tendency to be lazy. He likes to sit back and bask in the sun, with all his splendor, but his cheerful and sunny manner is quite irresistible.

Like any monarch, you can spot a Leo from the crowd. People are captivated by the zest, and charisma that radiates out of Leo. He can be very motivating this way, which makes him a very worthwhile leader. Leo’s big ego can become annoying to people sometimes. As giving as he is, Leo needs to learn to share the spotlight with others. Also, Leo needs to learn to be more frugal so that he doesn’t throw tantrums like a spoiled little brat when he doesn’t get what he wants.
