Leo is the 5th Sign of the Zodiac. The most important thing in life to Leo is to have fun. Leo has an ability to incorporate some fun into almost any situation. They will entertain, often quite unwittingly. Leo likes to be in control and this can come across as being "bossy". Of course, they do not see it as bossy, but almost everybody else does. Leo will not be bossed themselves and if anybody tries this on they will find themselves meeting a very definite brick wall. Leo will do almost anything if they are asked, but if they are told to do it, they will rebel, often to the point of creating problems in their own life. Leo has extremely good organising skills but have no desire at all to be organised by somebody else. If they are expected to play a major role, it has to be done their way. Otherwise, they are quite happy to opt out and leave others to sort it out for themselves. Leo likes to be appreciated and when this is forthcoming they will become extremely generous of themselves and their resources. Flattery will get one a long way with Leo, as long as it seems genuine. Leo makes an entrance. Heads turn when Leo walks into the room. They are dramatic and have an ability to play whatever role is necessary in any set of circumstances. Leo is creative and this skill can be utilised to develop something, seemingly out of nothing. Leo will often have a thick head of hair. This is their mane (of the Lion) and a most important feature to them. Heaven help any hairdresser who ruins it. Leo is very proud but sometimes their pride can be their downfall. Leo is the sign of children and for this reason Leo will often have a lot of involvement or connection, directly or indirectly, with young people.

Leo rules the heart, spine and back. People who have any of their personal planets or ascendant in Leo will have sensitivity or health problems associated with these areas of their body.
