Azra’s Astrology: Leo the Lion

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals, you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. The fifth zodiac sign is Leo.

Similar to Cancer, the Leo constellation is based on Greek mythology surrounding Hercules. Specifically, his first labor of killing the Nemean lion. That’s what this constellation depicts.

Like Hercules, Leos are desperate for attention. All they want is to be the center of what’s happening and have all of the focus on them. Pretty much the most important thing in their worlds is themselves with everyone else playing a secondary role, if not a (very) brief cameo.

That being said, if you find yourself as a Leo’s supporting character, you’ll be well taken care of. Leo’s can be very loving and supportive- as long as they get it from you first.

The biggest downfall of a Leo is their pride. They have a lot of it and sometimes it is easily bruised. But don’t worry, their roar is worse than their bite. If you pay them compliments and give them your undivided attention for a solid twenty-four hours, they will forgive and forget.
