What Sun in Leo means for you

Leo is the Sun’s home sign, so the Sun works naturally here.

You are creative, proud and warm. You know how to make an entrance. More importantly, you know how to make other people feel special too.

You need to create something and to be seen doing it. It can be a show, a party, a business or a family. Recognition motivates you. It is not vanity. When you do not get it, you can become dramatic or quietly hurt.

Your pride makes apologies difficult. One of the bravest things a Leo Sun can do is say “I was wrong”. People usually love you more for it.

Leo is one of Sun’s own signs. Sun works at full strength here.

Love

You are romantic and generous, and you show love openly: big gestures, affection in public, and loyalty you would defend. You want to admire your partner and to be admired back. Being ignored hurts you more than an argument. Choose someone who is proud of you and says so. You will be the most generous partner they have had.

Work & money

You do well in work where people can see you: leading, presenting, creating, teaching, entertainment and brand work. You motivate teams with warmth and confidence. You find it hard when nobody can see your contribution. The key to your leadership is to give credit to others freely. Then people will follow you.
