Leo Personality and the Positive and Negative Sides of Leos

All the star signs have their dark side as well as the positive. The fifth sign of the zodiac can be creative, generous and romantic. Leos can also be arrogant.

Leo Star Sign and Positive Personality Traits

The positive Leo takes an enthusiastic, positive and cheerful view of life. You are supremely confident with a natural ability to attract attention to yourself. This is because your sign Leo is cast in a royal mould and whether unconscious or conscious of it, Leo likes to rule!

Being ruled by the Sun you have the regal bearing that commands respect and recognition. People can't help but respond to your warm and cheerful glow and you will bask in the sunshine of all the praise and approval that comes your way.

Brimming with pride, you are determined to make the most of your assets. A super-achiever, Leo sets high standards for themselves and you are an inspiration to others. As a leader you won't charge ahead and use force like the Aries.

You will use the power of your personality to direct and guide those around you. You will always go out of your way to give helpful hints or use your many contacts to help push friends up the ladder of success.

You offer genuine friendship with a heart-felt urge to give generously and aid those in need. There is a tremendous sense of loyalty in your relationships. As a Leo you have a fierce sense of responsibility towards your partner.

Leo Signs and Negative Personality Traits

The negative Leo can become conceited and self centred. You know how great you are and you don't like it when other people usurp your position in the spotlight. From being a gracious leader, you can become an arrogant dictator who fails to consider the feelings or views of those around you.

Leo hogs the limelight but might fail to consider how much it would boost other people's egos to give them a taste of success. You might sulk when your worth isn't recognised immediately. You enjoy being in the public eye and will do anything for attention. It is also possible that your fondness for the pleasures of life might encourage an indolent nature which sometimes violently alternates with furious bouts of activity.

The Positive and Negative Leo

The above traits give two ends of the positive and negative scale and it is more likely that most Leos fall somewhere in the middle! The Sun Sign can only suggest a small degree of the personality whereas an analysis from the birth chartwould give a fuller picture. Remember too that a positive attitude is a great asset in life helping you cope better than when taking a negative approach which suggests failure before you even begin.
