Hi. Sun capricorn, moon scorpio, Leo rising - with the planet Uranus conjunkt my accendant (ie I'm partly aquarian). Capricorn gives me goals, Scorpio gives me deep, dangerous feelings (tamed by capricorns self discipline, leos strength and aquarius' analysis), Leo gives me ego, self awareness and pride but also naivity - and Aqurius makes me a philosophical humanitarian. This has given me changing goals in life, regarding work as well as place to live. I been sniffing at mathematics and economy, but to day I am a social worker/therapist. I have moved a lot and remarried a couple of times; I'm having difficulties with my tendency to love people too much = somewhat bad choices for me. But Leo has made me stronger and very good at taking care of my self through the hard times.

Have you noticed that this forum has more responses that any of the other 'All things' forums? We Leos certainly like talking about ourselves! Being a Leo has served me well. My sun and Mars is in Leo and I have Virgo rising, and my Moon and Venus are in Cancer. I have many Leo friends and which gives me the insight that its great fun being a Leo but less fun having to deal with a Leo at the times when you need selfless giving - I need to constantly remind myself that not everyone sees the world in the sunny shades I do. I'm a pretty typical Leo: an artist and designer. I am generally self-motivated, driven and very positive but self-absorbed - which causes me problems; I believe life revolves around me, therefore it's issues are to do with me - I constantly find myself leaping into fix-it mode, maybe this is why Leos are often leaders?
This is a dreadfully Leo thing: One August my 2 Leo friends (they were a couple) decided to throw a joint birthday party - called the 'Leo party', the idea being you only came if you were a Leo party or came with one. I brought my Sagittarian friend who discovered this party premise and loudly denounced us all as loud, egotistical and selfish, causing a bit of a lull! But the party recovered because the Leos thought it was just funny.
My partner is a Scorpio, this has provided me with ample opportunity to notice that being a Leo allows me to bounce back positively after disagreements, whereas he has to dwell deeply on issues before we can reach a compromise.
I forgot to answer some of admins questions: Yes, the rising leo in (outside of) me has made me try public relations. I have always been fond of art - and I like to draw and paint my self. I don't like to be in the spotlights but for some reason other people often put me there (they see a leo but I am the more shy capricorn sign by sun). I have nearly allways had a strong sence of intuition, which come very handy in my work with troubled people...
LOL!!! My husband, like your partner, is Scorpio! I find that my temper will suddenly flare and explode and then I'm done, while he'll let his anger simmer and take little sarcastic pot-shots, until he finds the right moment to bring out his stinger and verbally destroy whomever angered him...even if it takes months of waiting for the perfect opportunity!
hahaha Jonah, loved the Leo party, pffft @ Sag response. Must be something else in his chart. Sags usually don't take things so seriously.
Awww, Lioness, have you ever had your chart done? You could have your fire sign Sun & Moon in aspects or houses which put a damper on outward expression. For instance, my Pisces Mars (pretty terrible placement for Mars to begin with), is totally unaspected to anything else in my chart. This does not translate well for being a person with drive, ambition, or persistance. Despite being seriously outgoing, I have no sales talent whatsoever. I couldn't sell the cure for AIDS.
If its a planetary aspect or house placement problem, once again, having your chart done would help. Your fire sign planets can be energized through transits, progressed planets energized through transits and energizing your natal planets. Having this done will let you know when these times will occur, so you can plan to make use of your fiery qualities ; )
I can relate to a few things on here but, I still think I am a confused Leo.
I am VERY shy (until I warm up to you). I do NOT like to be center of attention but, I sometimes end up being in the limelight and sweating bullets! I think ALOT, observe alot, analyze alot, LOVE to help others in any way I can but will NOT tolerate being stepped on. Once I see that start to happen, I turn away faster than I came in! That's it! I've been told I'm very easy to talk to, sweet, and people feel like they've known me foreva! lol.
I recently had my chart done and if anyone can help make sense of this, I'd very much appreciate it. According to my chart, I'm a leo with Cancer rising, Virgo moon, Venus in Cancer, Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini. That's all I can remember right now.
I've noticed that with oother leos, i either get along or I don't. If we don't get along, we just don't talk. I've noticed many leos being VERY vain, stuck up, with their noses up in the air and don't anyone even DARE say anything they don't approve of! lol. Maybe it's just my point of view. I warned you, I'm confused people! lol!
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Much Love and Blessings to ALL!
i have been surrounded by leos all my life - my mom was a leo - very hard core and unable to show gentle hugs and kisses love, my sister is a leo, has a wall as hard as stone and very cold hearted, my estranged husband, a cheater and deserter with no concious - i tend to shy away from leos at this point
Hi Heathen, with all the reports i've had done here, I've never had my birth report done *slaps self in head*. I do have the charts from the other reports, but I'm pretty clueless with the house meanings and such. I'm hoping to get my report soon, though, as soon as my checkbook looks healthy again.
Screengoddess...how awesome to be a quad-Leo! ;)
LittleSparrow...I'm sorry you've experienced so much negativity from the leos in your life...please don't let the bad apples ruin the whole bunch for you; really, there are some sweet and loving Leos out there.
Joyce, I was once told in highschool that I appeared stuck up because I never made eye contact and kept to myself. The truth was, I was absolutely terrified of people and have never liked being in large crowds (other than the dance floor). It was easier for me to pretend to be invisible than leave myself open to ridicule, which happened way too often despite my efforts.
