  To really understand astrology it must be emphasized that we are not only our Sun sign but that there are other planets that affect us on a daily basis. Your rising sign is the 1st House in your horoscope.

Your rising sign plays a crucial and important relationship to your Sun sign. Some rising signs can complement a Sun sign; while others may act in opposition.It is difficult and would be a lucky guess to determine a person's Sun sign from his or her outer appearance. For example, a Leo with a conservative Capricorn ascendant would come across as more serious and less dramatic than a Leo with a strong rising sign like Aries. Since your rising sign is the first impression you make on others and how others see you, it is important to know yours. Once you learn this, you might view astrology in a new light. Where the other planets fall in your personal horoscope and in whatever House they reside in create the full picture and give you insight to who you uniquely are.

It is crucial for an accurate reading to know your exact time of birth. The more precise your birth time, the more accurately an Astrologer can analyze and interpret the position of the planets at your birth and provide a spot on reading.

If you are unsure about your time of birth, know it within a few hours or don't know it at all, I have created a list to help you see which image you feel best applies to you.

Aries Rising: High Energy, Energy Energy

You are an aggressive person with a boundless and plentiful energy that can take you anywhere you feel free to roam. Watch for a tendency to overreact emotionally or lose it altogether when things don't go your way. This is a passionate ascendant that can be seen as impetuous by others. You are competitive, a positive asset to any business or athletic team and you like to move quickly and precisely and you tend to get impatient with others too easily. Guard against this tendency. This could lead to headaches, head injuries and accidents involving your face and head. You walk with your head forward which is very characteristic of Aries. You love to wear bright, beautiful colors, especially red. You also love to drive fast and want to be the first one to get in line when a new item becomes trendy. You are the trendsetter of the rising signs.

Taurus Rising: Creature Comforts

You tend to be slow moving, with a beautiful and distinctive speaking or singing voice that is naturally melodious and can make others feel soothed and relaxed. This ascendant yearns for the good life. You most likely surround yourself with good food, great comforts, luxurious surroundings and other sensual pleasures. You could be a collector or own a collection of anything you consider to be rare and valuable. You are a homebody who prefers others to come over to your house. In fact you love welcoming just about anyone into your home rather than socializing elsewhere. You have a natural talent for business, especially trading, real estate and import/export ventures. This ascendant gives the impression of a well fed physique. You tend to gain weight easily and this can cause you to withdraw. Females with this placement however, tend to be very seductive with their curvaceous figures.

Gemini Rising: Communicate and disseminate

This a social, open and fun individual to be around. Naturally outgoing, with lighter, ethereal mannerisms than others of your own sign, especially if you're female. You love nothing more than to communicate with people of all walks of life. You can express your thoughts, ideas and opinions very easily and effectively. This placement has a natural talent for writing, speaking and communication, verbal and non-verbal. This is someone who thrives on variety, in an ever changing atmosphere and MUST have a lively social life. You might come across as surface, however deep down you can relate to most and others do not realize the depth you possess. You are also far more loving, caring and nurturing than you tend to project. This ascendant is usually widely traveled, changes partners and even jobs more than once. You might even try to have two loves at one time. This placement is always torn between two people, places or things. Physically, watch out for your central nervous system. You could be prone to anxiety when you nerves get sensitive. It would be a great idea to occasionally take breaks or short trips to get away from all of the chaos and noise around you. This would benefit not only you but those you are close with as well. Bottom Line: You need breaks from all that socializing. This brings a sense of calmness into your chaotic life.

Cancer Rising: Tender emotions

This ascendant is naturally acquisitive, private, sensitive and a natural money maker. You are very private on the surface. However, once someone gets to know you they realize that you can also be possessive (you can't help it) and you tend to overreact to things that really don't matter. You can read the minds of others with this placement. You can see through the feelings and thoughts of others. This is an excellent asset to have when channeled wisely. Use your intuition in business, the arts, and personal relationships. And pay attention to your emotions around the Full Moon. This rising sign tends to take things way too personally and react to imagined slights, especially near the Full moon periods. Find creative outlets for your nurturing talents instead! Helping the less fortunate, feeding and taking care of others and psychology would be ideal areas to make a fortune. Your nurturing nature also makes you a loving parent and you do well with children. You could be fond of the past, wearing romantic and sexy clothes and you could collect antiques or have a collection of some sort. Try to spend time near water to soothe tension. You also love to dine on exquisite foods but you must be careful and watch your diet as retaining fluids easily is part of your physiology.

Leo Rising: The life of the party

You make an instant impression when you enter a room. You may, however, come across more confident and more regal than you really feel. But this does not stop Leo rising from giving his or her audience exactly what they want. A Leo ascendant gives you a natural flair for drama as others could accuse you of stealing their spotlight. You project a confident, outgoing and sunny disposition. You come off extremely confident even when you're not feeling well. This ascendant makes sure to please their friends and their fan club. You always put your best efforts into your appearance. The right clothes, a good hairstyle (you have beautiful hair with this ascendant - usually a luxurious mane with thick hair and lots of it) and if you're a female, you often dazzle others with your jewelry collection. You look like royalty without trying. This rising sign is lucky with children, animals and games of chance.

Virgo Rising: Details are important

You can appear very critical and mistakes of any kind make you very nervous. This ascendant has a tendency to be his or her own worst critic. Virgo rising needs to learn to be less hard on others and even less hard on themselves. Fussy, critical and meticulous, you seem neat, orderly and more particular than others of your Sun sign. People around you might feel that they have to live up to your high standards. Even though you might be well meaning, you need to let those closest to you know that you only want the best for others, really and truly. It's not that you over analyze every detail, it's just that you want it done right. Is that so wrong? No way. Just remember to take it easy on others and easy on yourself once in awhile. You have a sharp eye for details and would make an excellent editor or financial advisor. Your literary skills are top notch and could lead you into jobs that involve teaching and publishing. Anything relating to healing is right up your alley. Health care professions, service oriented careers and making sure everything is in its proper place are important to you. Don't think your way is the only way! This is a lesson you need to learn!

Libra Rising: The beautiful social butterfly

This ascendant bestows the beauty that comes with Libra, thanks to Venus, and makes this one of the best and most compatible signs to have as an ascendant. Charming, social and non-confrontational (you will avoid confrontation at any cost) this placement is usually relationship oriented and needs a partner in order to feel secure and thrive in his or her life. Physically, your face is symmetrical, beautiful and also a dimpled smile are typical of those with Libra rising. You are interested in all sides of a project, relationship or friendship - which can work for or against you. Being indecisive when a situation calls for decisiveness is not your strong point. You possess natural beauty, grace and can talk to anyone, especially a romantic partner, into getting your way. You will receive many compliments on your seductive and sultry smile. You are attractive, have good taste, and usually have an interest in fashion, home decorating and exploring the topic and adventures of true and lasting love. You are an excellent debater and could be attracted to careers that involve the law, public relations and or any other career that can utilize your diplomatic skills.

Scorpio Rising: Charisma and Mystery
 

There is more to you than meets the eye. You project an image of intrigue, mystery and sex appeal. You also possess power when you combine this ascendant to any other Sun sign; it is favorable for most signs to have Scorpio as a rising sign. You have eyes that others instantly notice and physically you could have the appearance of intensity. Whether it's your hair, the way you dress or the look on your face, this ascendant is known for having a physical feature that is intense, prominent and stands out in some way. Whether it's their beautiful penetrating eyes or their physique, there is something about this placement that gives this individual a sense of power and being in control despite the world falling apart around them. You might feel like sharing your hopes and wishes with others and you also could keep your affairs to yourself. Highly private, you may have an interesting past history with unusual love relationships. There might even be a secret love or two in your closet. Legendary in love, others find you hard to let go of. Your mystery is intensified whenever you wear black and you might find this to be your favorite color.

Sagittarius Rising: Freedom to Roam

You have a strong love affair with travel with this ascendant. You are interested in the outdoors, have a sporty side and possess an athletic, casual and laid back look. This ascendant can change moods in a split second. Occasional dark moods may be disguised with optimism or a philosophical outlook. Deep down, you are idealistic, have a fantastic sense of humor and loved to be loved. On the surface, you have strong, athletic legs and you are physically strong. You might not feel as attached to things and people as others are. You are more interested in travel, higher learning and the spiritual side of life than your other peers are. Not one to hesitate to speak your mind, you are able to laugh at yourself (a great quality) and your troubles (even better) more easily than others. You are also one of the funniest people in the room. Jupiter (the planet) of luck and expansion will be the genesis of your life. This is a prosperous placement for Sagittarius.

Capricorn Rising: Official Business

You are not typically a big spender. In fact, you are known as being careful with cash (like Cancer is) but you will occasionally splurge if you can afford it. You come across as serious, disciplined and very goal oriented. You have a very strong work ethic. Goals and ambitions are formed from an early age and you somehow manage to set out to achieve them and usually do. You tend to be more traditional and conservative in your personal relationships. In fact, you come across as formal and businesslike in all important relationships. This placement functions BEST in a corporate and well structured environment where you usually start and the bottom and work your way slowly but surely to the very top. A born executive - you always know who has the power - but in your love relationships, you might tend to go solo if the going gets too tough. You love to mix business with pleasure but need to remember that love is just as important as prestige. Otherwise, you might end up alone playing the role of mother AND father to your children. Learn to be more expressive with romantic partners!

Aquarius Rising: The Innovative Dreamer

Eccentric is your keyword. Something about your appearance is unique and memorable. This ascendant loves to be with groups, in the company of friends and with a constant stream of companions 24/7 if they could have their way. You could also be strongly drawn to a prestigious lifestyle. Not one to care what others think at all, you go after your goals your way. No one can tell you what to do. You can outsmart, outwit and outlast your competitors but be careful of a tendency to come across as selfish or uncaring. You might feel that you show your loving tender side, but sometimes you suffer from foot in mouth syndrome. This placement needs the freedom to roam and most likely will not follow convention. This ascendant can make money from a hobby and turn it into an empire. This placement also needs to have a strong sense of unity with friends, family and his or her peers to bring out their BEST qualities. You tend to leave a lasting impression when you come from a place of sincerity. You also have an affinity for electronics, spirituality, the metaphysical and other far out ideas.

Pisces Rising: Romantic and dreamy

This is an intuitive, psychic and nurturing placement for an ascendant. This is a creative, spiritual, sensitive and dramatic at times personality. Dreamy eyes and an air of poetry surround this elusive and emotionally tender sign. This rising sign is all about the arts, theater (Neptune rules the entertainment industry), dance, film, photography and other forms of creative expression. Very susceptible to mood swings, it will be very important for this ascendant to find a creative and fulfilling outlet for his or her tender emotions. This will naturally heighten already amazing intuition. Try to focus on the positive and don't be so quick to fall for sob stories. You can be a sucker for someone playing on your good nature so don't make others problems yours. You are the rescuer of the zodiac. Stray animals and people who are weak, sick or addicted will tend to tug at your heartstrings. With so much foresight, this rising sign needs to be aware of a fondness for escapism. Drugs and alcohol are potential areas that could be alluring to you. It will be important for this ascendant to utilize moderation in these particular areas as they could easily get out of hand. Try to avoid addictive substances as they will appeal to you strongly, especially during Full Moons.

CHARACTER

A Cancer's first love is their home, security and their family. They love nothing more than to nurture and mother those closest to them. No sacrifice is too large to ensure their home life is stable, secure and their loved ones are safe, healthy and happy. Cancer is kind, warm hearted and extremely sensitive.

Cancers can also become very moody quickly, and often retreat into their world of feeling and moods in order to regenerate their emotional state. The quickest way for Cancer to banish these alienating moods is to do what comes naturally: nurture and give to others. This brings Cancer good fortune and amazing karma. It is always a good idea to keep your friends close and your enemies closer when you are a Cancer. Do something nice for a stranger and watch how your luck returns, tenfold.

Cancer can be very iron-willed and likes to have things their way. Very sensitive to imagined slights, paranoia and insecurity, Cancer will occasionally retreat into their protective home to seek solitude or they may just rebel and look for adventure elsewhere. You really never know where you are headed with this sign. Be assured though that the ultimate destination is likely to be a secluded and romantic time spent with your Cancer.

Generally, Cancer avoids confrontation at all costs, Cancers are not about seeking revenge against those who have hurt them. Rather, they channel their pain into constructive outlets.  Cancers are compassionate, forgiving and free with their affection for family, friends and others.

They will set their own worries and problems aside to help solve their friends, lovers and families problems. Being extremely sensitive and highly intuitive, they often know what is upsetting someone without being told. They are the great/true psychics of the zodiac.

Stellar communicators who help those in need with just a few kind words or gestures: Cancers take late night calls and help anyone who is in a crises, trouble, emotional pain or otherwise.

Overall, Cancers are quite compelling and they make friends and lovers for life. No one-night stands for this home-oriented sign.

Cancers love to socialize and mix business with pleasure, Especially if it involves their friends and family. Their need to mother and nurture others will eventually make them a wonderful asset to any family member, regardless of their status within the family.

Cancers form long-lasting bonds with trusted, solid and loyal people.

CANCER IN LOVE:

In relationships, Cancers are the most sensual and nurturing signs of the zodiac.  Cancer is secretly seeking a soothing and secure home life, equipped with a loyal and intuitive partner.

They are best involved with someone who understands their creativity and will accept them for who they are, intense moods and all. Because their emotions are so powerful, they seek partners who are stable and responsive, someone with an innate understanding of their occasional need for solitude. A Scorpio or a Pisces will adore the depth of your passions, Cancer!

Cancers are protective, even possessive. While not jealous or overly domineering, Cancer will become very jealous lovers when they feel sexually betrayed or made to feel insecure in anyway by their lover.

Although they present a hard shell to the outside world, Cancers are sensitive, receptive and romantic souls by nature. As a lover, Cancer will need tons of emotional security and your infinite fidelity.

Cancers can be deeply wounded if the one they care for betrays their trust (which is never forgotten). It is important for Cancer to have a positive upbringing as this can give a worthy relationship a solid chance at lasting success. Conversely, If Cancer was raised in an unhappy home, love will become more important than ever to them. When feeling unloved and under appreciated, a bubble bath, massage or a good song will be therapeutic for this sweet and most sensitive soul. Spending time near water is another way to alleviate and banish the Cancer blues.

Cancers are poetic, romantic and extremely sensual. When with a lover they trust, both parties will flourish and love can last forever.

Weekly Forecasts 12/3-12/9

Aries

To achieve your greatest desires this week, you might have the give up on someone or something that means the world to you. This could be a person, situation or habit. Whatever this is and you know what it is, Aries, lose it, fast! This week is all about ridding yourself of situations that no longer serve a useful purpose. Once you achieve this, you will feel beyond free and liberated to focus on those people and things that are most important to you. In the process of letting go, you have so much to gain. Long term goals can be implemented at this time, so don't wait to long to make those big lifestyle changes, Aries. Ask a Leo or a Scorpio for their take on matters that you hold dear!

Taurus

 Love triangles in romance are a serious possibility this week, Taurus. Your sensual nature and earthy sex drive will be prominent and memorable with Venus in Sagittarius. Tone down your stubborn and sometimes self-centered desires and focus more on a partner's wishes and desires than your own for ideal results. The more empathetic you are with your partner, the more you stand to gain. Just realize that aspects indicate some rough sailing in the love and romance department this week. You could inadvertently turn off the very person you were hoping to turn on. Another Taurus and a Virgo have ideas they hope to share with you, Taurus.

Gemini

You have the ability to captivate others this week with your charm, imagination and allure. Your desire for love is stronger than the actual reality of a committed relationship will be, so tone down your wildest dreams and live in reality. Your personal love radar is off slightly this week with Venus opposed to Sagittarius, so take off your blinders and try not to commit to any one person, place or thing, not this week. Aspects improve much more next week, single and coupled. If coupled, try not to be heard on a partner. The good news? Your ideas and concepts will be well received from your peers and this can lead to more self-fulfillment than love can and will. A Leo desires your attention while a Pisces might require some space.  

Cancer

Wow! What a week, Cancer, single or coupled! Your physical vitality is off the charts and your sense of adventure are making you stand out to various admirers. Your impulses will be strong so focus, take a risk and see what transpires. You won't be disappointed, single or coupled. If you have an artistic hobby, this is a great week to get started on a new project or work on something that makes you feel liberated, excited and daring! Another Cancer and a Capricorn have ideas that will appeal to you.

Leo
A passionate encounter is just what you need this week, not just today, Leo! You are a passionate, determined and stubborn sign, so being lonely/alone is not in your vocabulary or on your agenda. You would rather be in a toxic relationship than left alone but this weeks energy suggests that you might actually need some space to give you a fresh perspective on an impending situation. Perhaps a matter from your past is about to haunt you again. Whatever the case may or may not be, sometimes what comes around actually does go back around. Remember that you give what you get, so make sure you are giving and not doing all of the getting. It's time to confide in a Taurus and a Sagittarius. 

Virgo

Cheer up, Virgo! You tend to be short tempered, with your head in the clouds and somewhat nostalgic this week. You can see beyond the facades that others around you are trying to project but are failing miserably at. You will also be super critical of yourself and others, so try not to step on anyones toes or there could be a price to pay that is costly and beyond time consuming. Realize you run the risk of alienating those closest to you with a sarcastic tone, so the less said, the better. Just chill out, write in a journal and keep your deepest thoughts to yourself, just this week, Virgo and this means whether you're single or coupled. A seductive Gemini and an outgoing Sagittarius can win your heart with the right words spoken at a crucial moment.  

Libra
It's a week of transformation for you, Libra. It's also a time when you exert strenuous efforts in everything you do. You want to instigate changes but might feel stuck or compelled by a partners wishes. This is a week when you must adjust to change or do something serious about instigating it. Your determination is unmatchable and unmistakeable. The good news is that love and romance can improve but you might have the be the aggressor this week to get the results you seek, single or coupled. An Aries will appeal to you while you could find a Virgo or Pisces beyond mysterious.  

Scorpio

You could desire to strike out on your own this week and the good news is that you will have the determination and tenacity to do so, more than normal, Scorpio. With Venus in Sagittarius and Mars in Capricorn, this is a fortunate and prosperous week to begin new ventures, plans and deal with procedures. It's a week to shine as your personal popularity with the opposite sex promise to make you stand out and how, single and coupled. Focus on health concerns and you can really maximize your success potential. Realize also that others look to you to help them edit or improve their work in some way. You could find the company of a Leo overbearing while a Cancer could want more than you're willing to give, personally and professionally

Sagittarius

With Venus (Love) in your sign, you can and will experience a serious change of heart this week. Others take note of your warm presence, good looks and free spirit and they want to get even closer, single and coupled. You're in the spotlight this week, so make the most of it and what it can do for your love life, Sagittarius. Only you know truly what is best for you and what might not be such a good idea after all. A Libra and another Sagittarius will inspire you to make needed changes and guess what, you not only make them but you take action, like yesterday.

Capricorn

With Mars, planet of war and aggression in your 1st House of appearances, you could find that you're coming on too strong for some people and this look does not suit you, Capricorn. Sometimes, you need to step away from your job and live in the real world and deal with real people, people who have feelings deserve to be treated with honesty, integrity and respect. If there is someone from your past you have not been entirely forthright with, this is a good week to make amends. As far as love goes, tone down your impatience. You could turn off a potential new partner if not entirely careful. A studious Virgo and a charming Libra will be involved.

Aquarius
You could find your passions are ignited this week but you tend to keep your romantic urges to yourself. The key is finding a partner that gives you the room to display a vulnerable side but simultaneously laughs with you about your desires. This is a week when you can find what you're looking for in an idealized but heartfelt partnership. You're looking sexy in the eyes of someone special and the feelings will be mutual. It's time to celebrate, let your hair down and enjoy the blissful moments with a partner. This is a great week to pursue an artistic study of some kind. Take photos, draw and paint for inspiration, single or coupled. An Aries and a Libra could play unusual but compelling roles.

Pisces

This week places a high value on your most intimate relationship, Pisces. With Mars, planet of aggression and war, entering, Aquarius, your 12th House of secrets, privacy and seclusion, you could learn about the things people keep to themselves and then be sorry that you did. Try not to judge others so harshly and do your best to come from an unconditional and loving place, no matter what is revealed. It's a week that requires balance, tolerance and the ability to be flexible for single and coupled Pisces. Don't be surprised if you hear something that changes the course of 2015 this week. A Scorpio and an Aquarius are involved.

Libra February Astrology Horoscope Forecast

The Sun and Mercury transit your 5th House of love, sex, children, creativity and put a strong emphasis on your ability to take risks and gamble on a person or a place throughout this month, Libra. But before you jump into any new commitments, realize that Mercury (Communications) is retrograde (Slow downs, delays or cancellations) in the same sign and that you could experience a few delays, misunderstandings and possible endings during this time. You could be having disputes regarding your children, the health and wellness of a child could consume your time or romance could be on the back burner as the month begins - courtesy of Mercury retrograde in your 5th House. However, that all changes on the 18th, Libra, when you find that these very areas light up and look beyond promising. Children and romance will be well starred and go hand in hand on the 18th and 19th, so try not to let any slow down make you worry excessively, Libra!

The Full Moon forms in Leo on 2/3 and the New Moon forms in Aquarius on 2/18. More about New and Full Moons will be covered in our Weekly Forecasts, Libra!

Venus (your planetary ruler which holds domain over Love and Money) begins the month in Pisces, your 6th House of repairs, maintenance, your daily routines and associates. Mars (planet of war, sexuality and physical motivation) will also be in the same sign as Venus - Pisces, Libra. With Mars and Venus both in Pisces, you can expect tons of activity taking place when it comes to these very areas. However, with Mercury retrograde and Mars - the ruler of your 7th House, in the sign of  Pisces,  health concerns could come front and center, yours or that of one close to you. Additionally with Mars in the 6th, you could meet someone at your place of employment who you find beyond attractive. Tone down your flirtatious side under this placement as associates will be short tempered and so will your boss. You might even have to review, rewrite or recheck an important document as mistakes could be made that are costly but can be rectified, Libra. It's all about health, daily routines, your job and making repairs under the influence of Mars/Venus in your 6th House, Libra! 

On 2/20 - Venus and Mars exit Pisces and enter the impatient sign of Aries, your 7th House of partnerships,  bringing about a greater closeness and/or commitment in an ongoing romance. If coupled, you and a partner become closer and could take an existing relationship to the next level by moving in together, getting engaged or getting married, Libra. Single Libra can expect to meet several potential love interests throughout Venus in Aries. A marriage, business or legal issue may involve a domestic adjustment. A strong desire to take charge of your love life overtakes single and coupled Libra this month, especially with Venus and Mars in your 7th House of marriage as the month ends. Happy February, Libra!

New and Full Moons in 2015

Learn how the stars influence your love life, relationships and more according to Astrology!

Year 2015

Pay attention to your sign and your love relationship (his or her sign) during the New and Full Moon days of each month. You will notice that you and your significant others tend to be “out of sync”, easily agitated, indulge in various forms of escapism, create emotional dramas  and tend to overreact in sex and love relationships when a new or Full Moon falls in your or your partners sun sign (or its opposite sign)

For instance, An Aries will be low on energy and a bit edgy when a New or Full Moon occurs in Aries or Libra. A Libra will feel the same when a New or Full moon occurs in Aries. Once a year, all signs experience this and the best way to cope is to do something creative or if you need, schedule some private time to yourself. It’s time to take care and charge of your life. Aries opposite sign in the zodiac is Libra. The Full Moon always occurs in your sign during your low cycle time of year. It is exactly six months from your birth date. However, the good news is that love is in the air during these down periods, so while you might be feeling low on energy, love can look exceptional for you during this time.

The Leo Astrology Profile

The Leo Profile

Generous, Big-Heart, Creative, Enthusiastic, Broad-Minded, Expansive, Warm and Loving, Pompous, Patronizing, Bossy, Interfering, Selfish, Attractive, Adventurous, Determined, Stubborn, and Ostentatious.

CHARACTER

Leo's charisma and born leadership capabilities practically guarantee this sign needs to have an audience and be "center" stage, at all times. Leos tend to shine naturally around an adoring fan base. They love to be be adored and are "in love with love" (more so than any other sign).

Ruled by the Sun, this sign literally needs the positive energy of other people to make him or her happy, or unhappy depending on the Leo involved. It's tough to be so well loved and admired, but if anyone can handle and appreciate applause and adulation, it most definitely will be Mr. or Ms Leo. It's a tough job, but someone has got to do it.

Leo's love the limelight and are fiercely determined to achieve fame and fortune at some point in their lives. The goal of ultimate attainment for all Lions is to somehow find a way into the spotlight, whether as an Actor/Actress, Businessman/Businesswoman or even an Athlete. The passion and desire for an exciting life filled with a fame, indulgence and fortune will motivate this sign.

When looking for a natural leader, look no further than Leo. They will get the job done efficiently and with finesse. Leo's also have a talent for bringing out the very best qualities in those they work and associate with. They also have a great sense of humor when they want to.

Having a goal/dream for any Leo (however impossible or ridiculous) and pursuing it with that stubborn determination always makes these dreams, outlandish as they are, eventual realities. The force of their determination guarantees that any passion, task or job undertaken will be magnificant and great work, to boot.

Leo is a natural professional. This sign can create masterpieces in just about any hobby they have a natural interest in.  Just think of famous Leo examples of Madonna, Mick Jagger, & Bill Clinton. Their passions became their tickets to their success.

Leo is also the luckiest sign of the zodiac where love and entertainment are concerned. So, it's no wonder why Leos naturally gravitate to those areas that fall under their sign (love, sex and enterianment (music).

And this genuine interest in love and sex will bring additonal luck to their particular endeavor, whether personal or professional. A big bonus for this "lucky in love, creativity and matters pertaining to entertainment" sign!

Leo needs the royal treatment at all times and don't even bother to question the bill. Yes, it's expensive, but Leo is well worth the investment. In fact, if they could have it their way, they prefer to pay the rent, expenses and do all the tipping.

They even find the time to spoil their lover with a gift, flowers or something thoughtful. It all depends on the Lion's financial status. Leo women prefer to be taken care of (monetarily) while Leo men want to pay the expenses.

An unhappy and grumpy lion will complain secretly to his or her friends about having no cash and a less than desirable bank balance.

Leo's tend to spoil others and love nothing more than giving a gift, however big or small, to his or her significant other. They believe that everyone close to them deserves "only the very best" and they go out of their way to provide this for cherished companions, friends and family.

Leo's are full of such warmth and contagious optimism that it becomes impossible not to find his or her company most fun and pleasurable.

Fearless, powerful and dignified by nature, Leo's make great friends, lovers and leaders. Leos love games of all kinds. They tend to be risk takers and will plunge into new ventures on impulse.

Strong and honorable, optimistic and fun, very few will find Leo's charms easy to resist. Everyone needs a sexy Lion!

LEO IN LOVE:

When in love, Leo's "love of love" can be their biggest downfall. They are faithful lovers who radiate sexuality and passion that others term "too hot to handle"! Leo's are aware of their power over the opposite sex and often use this power more so than one would assume or believe. The only problem is that Leo may not always be willing to try new things and this is where love can sometimes go down the drain before it even begins.

While they may seem domineering and selfish at times, their honest intention is ensuring the basic happiness and pleasure of those in their personal kingdom/lair. Confident Leo's possess a strong appetite for sex, music and the good life, however indulgent. Don't take this personally. They were just born that way.

Leo's need to be reminded that all relationships are a two-way street occasionally, especially a Leo in a long-term relationship. Take extra note if you like to lounge around in nothing but sweats and an old cheap shirt. Avoid anything haggard or unkempt where your looks, life and friends are concerned. And don't ever get into a rut. The only noise you will hear is the door slamming behind you.

The wise and clever lover of a Leo will introduce new methods of sex, love and deal with the topic of monogamy and commitment with Leo honestly. This usually occurs in relationships that are in the early or late stages.

Leo can and will cling to toxic relationships because their egos will not allow them to admit they may have made a mistake. Here is where communication either saves the union or destroys it entirely.

Once Leo realizes they are really in love, they stay with their partner through the good times and the dreadful times.

Forever optimistic, it is impossible for any Leo to see any romantic problem as insurmountable. Overall, the Leo makes a wonderful mate. Their love of children and warm nature makes them a nurturing person and a natural parent.

Impetuosity can sometimes do Leo's in. Just Remember : An unhappy and unloved Lion will seek attention and appreciation behind the scenes if unhappy. Try and look your very best around this lover. Be smart, funny and don't forget the right clothes either. After all, Leo is all about sex appeal.

FAMOUS LEOS:

Madonna, Robert De Niro, Mick Jagger, Carl G. Jung, Stanley Kubrick,  Jackie Onassis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

IDEAL JOBS FOR LEO:

Leo's are well-suited to be musicians, actors, inventors, presidents and judges.
