Determined Like a Lion

People with the zodiac sign Leo love the spotlight. Their proud posture and imposing appearance really captivates people and makes them listen mesmerized when a lion takes the word. Lions know exactly how to use their radiant smile and charm to win.

If they see that weaker people are exposed to danger, they do not hesitate to stand up for them with determination and courage. 

A Natural Leader

It's fitting that Leos like to take responsibility and make excellent leaders. Their natural authority, which is by no means authoritarian, but rather has a relaxed, sympathetic touch, makes them extremely popular with those surrounding them. 

Leos know how to treat people with respect and kindness. These are those qualities that they want to be treated with themselves. Therefore, their motto is: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” 

More Than Just a Cliché

Moreover, people with the zodiac sign Leo are more than just the common cliché of the strong king of the zodiac. The zodiac sign has diverse vibrations that make Leo-born people very sensitive and empathetic. They really enjoy working with children and young people, but they also have their downsides. 

Unfortunately, most people with the zodiac sign Leo are focused on serving these stereotypes because they want to appear infallible and flawless to the outside. This makes them very self-centered and vain. Surprisingly, Leos are sensitive and have a very vulnerable ego. At first glance, Leos seem unshakable and strong, however, at second glance, you can see that they very vulnerable. 

To conceal their weak self-confidence, they pretend to be strong and unwavering. If they do not overcome their shadow, they become cold, arrogant and unapproachable to protect themselves. Attaining true strength is the special life task of every Leo.
