Leo means lion in Latin, this well suited symbol represents us very well.
Also the sun which we are associated with - it represents our warm heart and personality ☀

We are high esteemed, honorable and very devoted to ourselves in particular!

We always make our presence known.
We want to be center stage, because we enjoy being in the spotlight 🔦 and we're full of flair & energy that acts like a magnet for other people who are attracted to our wit, charm, and what we have to say.

Naturally we are very generous, nice and openhearted kind of people.

If we get rubbed up the wrong way however, we are not afraid to strike back with force. We aren't ones to hold a grudge, we easily forgive & forget and move on.

We possess a kingdom which we protect and cherish.
Now, our kingdom could be anything from work to home to a partner, whatever it is, we rule it!

Just a fact : we are not always the dominant one, it just seems that way to other people - but we do like to be in charge.

We like the finer things in life and will barely settle for second best. We want only the best which can cause lavish-excessive spending habits as we enjoy our life of luxury, which is all to easily justified by the grand and magnificent Leo 👼

Public image is very important to us, we always want to come forth as high standing, because we take pride in our public image. We enjoy being respected in the community and we will do whatever it takes to protect our own reputation.

We mostly react to situations with action instead of sitting back and thinking about it, but that doesn't mean that we are impulsive - we just look future into it and consider the consequences of our actions.

We tend to be a little too blunt at times...
Well as a shortcoming, you can hardly fault us for being a little too honest, but that's the one complaint that people have about us. We are so forthcoming with the honest truth that we sometimes tell people what they don't want to hear. It's not our fault for how they respond to our honesty, but we may have offended a few people in the past 🙊

But we always trying to make things right in the world, we've got larger then life emotions (although we can hide it pretty well sometimes) and we need to feel like we have accomplished something at the end of the day 🏆

P.S. "swallow your pride"
So many times I had to tell this to myself 😓
