Introduction of Leo Zodiac Sign
Have you ever wondered what it is that makes Leos such… well… Leos?
Those of us that are born under this sign can sometimes be labeled as shallow or vain but the truth is there is a lot more to the Leo personality that isn’t always apparent until you really get to know them.
So to give you some insight into what it really means to be born under the Leo sign, famed Business Astrologer cum Astro-Business Strategist, Hirav Shah will be revealing 7 ‘core’ traits and characteristics that are commonly found in the Leo personality.
LEO Traits
1.A big heart
Leos have a compassionate heart and they tend to be extremely kind and generous creatures.
They are always willing to help out a loved one in need and they will go to great lengths to make sure that those they care about most are happy.
2. Never take advantage of their kindness
Sometimes Leos can be too kind for their own good and they may find that less savory characters try to take advantage of their generosity.
If they catch you abusing their goodwill, they will not hesitate to unleash the fury of their inner lion, to scare you off trying your bullshit with them ever again.
3. Leos push themselves to achieve the impossible
The traits and characteristics of drive and determination are strong in Leo and when they decide that they want to do something… well they just go for it without wasting a second.
They can’t resist a challenge and are often extremely attracted to the seemingly un-obtainable wanting to push themselves to the limit to achieve the impossible.
For Leo, it’s “going hard” or “go home”, Opines Shah.
4. Loyal
Loyalty is Leo’s middle name.If there’s one thing that you can say about Leo with certainty it’s that they are some of the most loyal people that you will ever meet.
Once you have earned their trust you will have an ally in Leo for life.
5. Protector
Leo is a protector and their presence makes people feel safe. Like a Lion with their cubs, the Leo is fiercely protective of those, who they care most about.
When the shit hits the fan, Leo tends to be the one that you can count on, to bail you out.
6. Showrunner
Leo is a natural born leader who excels when they’re running the show.
Some people may find Leo to be a little on the bossy side but there’s no denying that they make for showrunners, who are more than capable of leading their team to a glorious victory.
Taking charge just comes naturally to Leo and they often find themselves falling into leadership positions with a little trying.
7. Extremely Direct
Leo is straight up with you and will always give you the facts. Leos aren’t the types to play confusing mind games with you and they don’t like to be sneaky or go behind people’s backs.
They tend to be extremely direct and straightforward with people and with Leo, you can be sure to always know where you stand.
Leos are “a fire sign that need to be appreciated, loved and adored. Leo shines brightly and its warmth makes it adorable and approachable to many.” The Leo is also known fittingly as “The Star” amongst zodiac signs.
