Both Fun and Regal - Leo Astrology

Leo Astrology - July 23 to August 24

Leo has a regal place in the solar system according to astrology. Ruled by the sun, Leo the lion is surrounded by lots of mythology. During the month of Leo, the Dog Star comes out from hiding behind the Sun, water becomes stagnant, summer heat is at it's most intense.

So naturally, Leo astrology is ruled by the Sun and its characteristics. Another aspect of this association with heat is the quality of being barren like a dessert, for which astrology marks it sign of Leo. Other barren signs are assigned this quality for different reasons.

The number for Leo's astrology is one, the color is yellow - the color of the Sun. Gold is the metal, which is measured by the carat representing one unit of measurement. The solar system only has one Sun. Sometimes the ego of Leo creates the illusion that Leos consider themselves to be number one.

However, this is contingent on this native's maturity and consciousness level. All the same, the typical Leo does possess and often exhibits the big ego with a huge roar.

All the same, deep inside, Leo is a kitty cat. When angry and roaring, the Leo is like a blowfish getting all puffed up for the purpose of defense or psychological intimidation. The scary roar is usually just a defense mechanism rather than a real threat.

The universe would simply not be the same without the drama, creativity, generosity, and flamboyant extroversion of Leonine personalities on planet Earth. Other words to describe the astrology of the lion are consciousness, individuality, activity, vitality, direction, leadership, and objectivity.

Leo is a fixed sign meaning that he or she has routines, and habits that stay the same. Cat owners may be able to observe this factor with a favorite household feline entity. Whenever a routine changes, they seem to feel disoriented. Then there are the stories of cats that travel for miles to get back to a previous home when the family has relocated.

Leos are territorial to varying extents. As far as a domestic cat, he or she may claim a place with ferocity. Once positioned there - don't try to budge this territorial creature - you could get clawed.

But all is forgiven once the object of a Leo's affection receives the warmth, and sincere generosity of a big hug, or an extravagant gift. Leos are often generous to a fault, and sometimes need this impulse to be curbed for sake of necessity.

Along with the regal bearing, Leos can be fairness nuts. When in the powerful throne where a Leo rules a kingdom - fairness is a priority. It just goes along with the territory. Astrology is actually more complex than merely the considerations of the Sun sign, but it's a start to understanding a few things about the Leo native.
