Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and is represented by the Lion. Like a lion Leos are very dominant and powerful. They like to be in command which makes them natural born leaders. Leos are self confident and in their element when allowed to take the lead role in any situation. They make good leaders because they are courageous and aren't worried about their daring moves. They think big and act big.

Leos are born entertainers and love being in the spotlight. They have a natural creativeness and also magnetism which attracts people to them. They won't settle for second best as they are very headstrong. Image is very important to Leos which fits right into the lifestyle of an entertainer. Leos crave both attention and adoration. They are in love with their own pride and ego and fiercely protect what they believe to be theirs. Think Madonna for the perfect sample of a Leo.

A Leo person may come across as if he or she is superior to others. It is difficult to ignore the lion for too long, he will have to be the centre of attraction sooner or later. The only way to tame him is to flatter him. Praising ...
... the intellect of a Leo will work just as well as admiring their appearance.

They are pretty clever and won't waste time on things of little significance. You will get an honest opinion from a Leo as they never hold back on what they honestly believe in. They are generous with giving compliments to the extent that they could make you embarrassed and self conscience. On the other end of the scale they will tell you things you might not want to hear. You might not like what you hear but you can be sure it's their honest opinion.

In the work place they will be very organised and great at motivating other people. Because of their ego they will like prestigious titles so will make good doctors, lawyers and teachers or any role where they are the team leader. You will find Leos are the ones that make a real difference in the workplace as they are not frightened of hard work. Their theory is if a job is worth doing its worth doing well.
