Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and covers people born between July 23rd and August 22nd. Their ruling sign is the Sol, which gives them an outgoing and often colorful personality. Like the lion, they can have fierce determination as well as being capable of great loyalty. However, the drawback is that, also like the lion, they can be self-absorbed and prideful. This can sometimes make the Leo difficult to deal with.
And it’s no surprise that two Leos often don’t get along together. Leos can be fiercely competitive, but this is mitigated by a tendency toward laziness. Just like the male lion that is more than willing to let the females do the hunting, Leos often don’t mind taking the credit for other people’s work. This doesn’t mean that they are particularly dishonest. It just means that they are inclined to take advantage of opportunities when they come along. Loving a Leo can be rewarding. Underneath the egocentric exterior are a warm heart and a strong need for companionship.
The Leo personality can be very closely compared to the sun by which it’s ruled as well as the lion which represents this regal astrological sign. Like the sun, Leo people thrive and crave being the center of attention and like the lion, king of the jungle, they often exhibit royal-like charisma.

Leos are also flamboyant. They are careful to choose people who might prove to be useful to them, but they do not like to be known as users. Leo carries out leadership responsibilities effortlessly and can manage other people well. They easily influence others, but are also independent people who tend to build a fence around the people that they love. Leo men and women admire beauty; crave for power and social status, so it is not uncommon for them to be found associating with people with the same aspirations.
Leo as a Fire Sign
Fire Signs are known for their energy and warmth that do not deplete over time. Like real fire, this energy is contagious and can also be caught by others. But also like real fire, you don’t know where it will catch on next, just as Leos can be unpredictable in their actions. Leos are natural leadership contenders because of the strong inborn leader qualities that they possess. They are intense and never satiating just like the Fire sign which it falls under.
