Personality, strengths and weak spots.
Leo personal traits
Leo is the king and the leader. They want to organise other people''s lives on their behalf as well. They interfere in everything and they are proud. For that reason the word that describes them is "I rule". They want to shine on the stage of life at all times and to be the focus of attention. Their powers of organisation are considerable. Getting others to accept what they want is, for them, a condition of life they cannot do without. On their good days, Leos are charming and cheerful, fond of helping others and treating that as a duty; they are likeable and optimistic people. Even if you treat them badly, they will respond with maturity. But once their patience runs out, they take a straight, manly and, where necessary, severe stand. In difficult times their luck always comes to their aid; the Sun, their ruling planet, brings them into the light on their darkest days. Uneducated, undeveloped Leos, on the other hand, are unbearable; they behave in every matter as though they had more than they actually do.
Leo physical traits
The typical physical traits of Leo: they are generally tall with heavy bones. Their shoulders are broad and their muscles well developed. They have fair hair, a pink-and-white complexion and a large, round head. Their eyesight is good. The women are very fond of their hair. Because they attach so much importance to how they look, you will find them well groomed at any hour. They have a distinctive walk, and eyes turn towards them the moment they enter a room. Being aware of their physical appeal makes them prouder and more self-centred still.
