Modality - Fixed. Second Sign of Summer Element -
Fire.
Leo the Lion is the constellation of royalty in the Zodiac. As the Lion is
the King of the Jungle in Nature, Leo is the King of the Zodiac. Ruled by the
Sun itself, the ego-centered nature of the Leo is purely innocent. In its
negative expression, Leo may be seen as arrogant, self-centered and vain. In its
positive expression, Leo is noble, courageous, generous and warm, often
attracting a "solar system" of friends around him/her as diverse as the planets
surrounding the Sun.
Leo represents the dynamic, masculine force of the
King, but also represents the child as well, innocent and pure. As Cancer
represents the Mother, Leo also represents the Father. These two signs occur
back to back in Summer, during July and August, when the rich fruits of the
harvest begin to ripen. It is a time of plenty, unlike winter when food is
scarce and advance planning is a necessity for survival.
The
kindness, benevolence and cheerfulness of any well-adjusted Leo are an
inspiration to all those around him/her, and often Leos are given positions of
authority and leadership due to their ability to organize and delegate authority
to others. How tactfully this is done will in large part determine the degree of
respect they have from those beneath them. Either way, Leo can be tyrant or
benevolent monarch, the choice is up to him/her, depending on how the free will
each person has is used.
