Shining under the patronage of the Sun, the Leo Star sign is ranked as five on the zodiac, making Leos highly eccentric, arrogant and in need of desperate attention and gratification.

Filled with boundless energy and ridden with fiery passions and impetuousness, natives of Leo are further enhanced in their dynamism by their respective element, the Fire.

But if you thought Leos would manifest a calm, majestic and collected behavior, somewhat similar to the animal they represent, you are in for a huge disappointment.

Leo Decan 1: July 23^rd – August 1^st

Innate to the Leos of the first decan is an unyielding and immutable persistence to accomplish the goal at hand, irrespective of any and all obstructions and difficulties.

A Leo would never resign himself to anything that interferes with his/her intentions because it’s not in their nature to capitulate, not in the least.

With the Sun as the overall protector and source of energy, this Leo individual is a man or woman of strong character and seemingly endless mental fortitude.

Just as you would think, he/she prefers hot climates and sun-drenched locations where one can revel in the glorious sunbathing of the boiling summer months.

Their energy tank seems to never run dry as nothing appears to disturb the Leo’s confidence and self-reliance. Only when they feel discriminated or that an injustice has been done to them, would they drop all pretenses and become quite feral.

Highly driven individuals, the Leo natives thrive where others don’t, but they also understand and are able to work out their superior aptitudes.

While they don’t ask for much from friends and colleagues, attention and concern should be elementary. Romantically, they seek people who can understand their needs and tolerate their outbursts, as well as imaginative and intuitive persons. Frankness and all-out honesty are traits that a Leo appreciates the most.

What best describes the Leo individual is the abundance and intensity of natural appeal, a sense of realistic self-worth and self-respect, and, last but not least, egocentrism.

And if that wasn’t enough, their level of energy is so high that they’ll instantly transform a gloomy, dull atmosphere into one brimming with excitement, enthusiasm and spirit. They have their eyes on the prey and will not let anything disturb their focus or keep them from achieving it.

Leo Decan 2: August 2^nd – 12^th

With Jupiter looming over their head, Leo-Sagittarians tend to be more-than-average in matters of intellectual capabilities. Physical or mental faculties like impulsiveness and arrogance will appear as a lot more sharpened with Leos than with any other individuals.

Also, as the years go by, you might want to pay attention to what you eat, as it’s a known tendency of the second decan Leos to gain up weight at a very rapid pace. This is also a result of Jupiter’s influence on their bodies.

The Leo-Sagittarius is both a man/woman of great mental fortitude and rigidness, as well as a pure joy-seeker, thanks to the influence of Jupiter.

Unrestrained and freedom-lovers, they hate it when others try to inhibit and limit their options, and while overly ambitious, money is not one of the main concerns for them. Instead, knowledge is.

Furthermore, if there is ever a situation that is seemingly unapproachable or unassailable, you can be sure that a Leo will solve it.

That sense of self-worth and natural arrogance has to go somewhere, right? And it does, in their relations with other people. With friends and even fairly unknown persons, their attitude is akin to that of a king overseeing his/her subjects.

Protector of the powerless and fighter against discrimination and injustice, the Leo-Sagittarius is truly one of a kind, the royal kind. When it comes to intimate contexts, these natives are best left to their own devices when feeling down. They will eventually come out of it, better than ever.

As both dreamers and thinkers, Leo-Sagitarius individuals are really steadfast and determined. Besides the obvious willpower and ambition to set their eyes on the biggest prey there is, Leo natives also must have the necessary ability and strength to finish the job.

Thanks to the influence of Jupiter, rationality was never better portrayed that it is in this case. The sheer reasoning power of Leo natives is only obvious when they instantly shift from a state of grief and worry to one of hope and confidence.

Leo Decan 3: August 13^th – 22^nd

This new combination of the Sun’s seemingly endless energy supply and Mars’ combative focus makes for an astoundingly efficient and capable Leo.

No stones are left unturned and no obstacle is too great for the forceful and intelligent approach of a Leo of the third decan.

Having more traits of an Aries than those of a typical Leo, this sign’s native is unforgiving, daring to the highest degree and ambitious enough to move mountains if necessary.

What is life’s worth if not becoming superior to the man you once were? This is precisely how a Leo thinks and acts. A peaceful and harmonious world is literally their worst nightmare, because there is no opportunity to better oneself and to gain knowledge and experience.

While a Leo is steadfast and determined when embarking on a project or following a goal, they also expect those efforts to come to fruition.

Otherwise, all that time and all of those hours spent on building up ideas, forming plans and putting them into practice would have been all for nothing. It is this attitude, among other things, that instills a sense of recognition and admiration in other people for the Leo-Aries native.

Knowing who you are dealing with is one of the things that seals the deal, and with a native of the third decan, you have no worries at all, as far as personal relationships go.

With a character as fiery and unsteady as this one, what else could make it even more formidable? The answer: an insatiable curiosity.

That’s right, the Leo-Aries natives have an unquenchable thirst for information and knowledge, and they somehow manage to get all that without anyone having a clue. Supporters of individualism and free will, they never try to interfere with people’s choices unless asked for.
