Leo, the 5th sign of the zodiac, is a fire sign. The principle of Leo is self-knowing through creative effort. It loves to be in control of the big statement, grandeur, power, or drama which gets the attention of others. Also known as the Royal sign, it has the ability to make an impact, and get into a central position where it can play freely with it's inspired ideas and, through it's innovation, determination and gift for strategic organization, it builds it's empire.

Territory is important to Leo, and it flourishes best in it's own secure kingdom, a community through which it can make maximum impact. It revels in respect and admiration and loves an audience, but sometimes it gets too big for it's boots and throws it's weight around demanding others follow commands with little regard for their feelings. This sign can be almost child-like in it's expectation that it should be at the centre of another's world, whenever and wherever it sees fit.

Leo rules the heart and, psychologically, Leo has a big heart with a magnanimity and generosity towards those it approves of. It's nature is courageous and it will take speculative risks to extend it's realm. But, like the cat, it loves a warm, comfortable home with attractive objects on display - evidence of it's tastes and interests. Leos are fiercely protective of their inner circle, but can be stubborn and too controlling about the correct way for others to behave.

Leo's ruling star - the Sun - is the light which fosters life in infinite variety on our planet and Leos are life-giving with their sunny natures and huge capacity to have fun with their creativity.

Leo is a talented sign and are good in careers where they can be their own boss or have plenty of scope to be innovative and use their imaginations. .Their liking of recognition and praise draws them into any work where they can radiate their power through what they create. They have good managerial/organizational skills and they are especially gifted with professions related to children.
