Leo Overview
The sign of Leo presents us with the most spectacular personality in the Zodiac. A superlative statement usually invites contradiction, but in this case a comparison of the different types will prove this characterization to be correct.
The Aries person, nearest to the Leo makeup, does not have the majesty, the regality, and ability to command respect combined with love, so much a part of the Leo personality. If Aries native are princes of the Zodiac, Leo natives are the kings.
The sign of Leo, ruled by the Sun, reflects the character plainly shown in the symbol of the sign, Leo, the Lion, They are kingly people, heroic, and generous.

Leo 2023 Horoscope
As the sign ruled by the bold, fiery sun, it’s no surprise that you love to be in the spotlight and soak up any rays of success that shine on you. And with this cosmic fireball lighting up your zone of taking pride in your work to start the year, Leo, your ability to focus on key details should bring positive attention your way. Your organizational skills are also topnotch now, which helps you sort through and discard items that are no longer needed. Reduce, reuse and recycle!
Hardworking, serious Saturn will start the year in your house of partnerships, which can bring its share of both challenges and opportunities for growth. As the ties that bind you to a significant person in your life are tested, it can bring out deep insecurities about yourself, the other person and your relationship. In early March, Saturn shifts into your regeneration zone, indicating a transformation or breakthrough is on its way. Any difficulties you experience now are likely to be deeply intimate and personal. All things shallow or trivial are ignored while you focus on the important stuff.
Your favorite time of year always comes between late July and late August, because that means you’ll be celebrating your birthday soon. Always the festive life of the party, your outgoing, playful mood makes everyone smile and want to be around you. That trademark Leo charm is in full effect this month, and you’re never happier than when you can express who you truly are and have friends and loved ones not only accept you but celebrate you for it.
Couples
As a royal Lion, you love to be pampered and put on a pedestal, so is it too much to ask that your partner worship you this year?! Well, as it turns out, romantic Venus will be in your house of harmonious partnerships for most of January, so your partner might very well be in the mood to do whatever it takes to make you happy! Peace and satisfaction are two main goals of this romantic cosmic partnership and working toward mutual satisfaction should be your focus.
Venus spends time in your sign starting in early June, infusing your love life with genuine warmth and the pursuit of pleasure. You think a lot of yourself now, of course, but why shouldn’t you? You’re charming, self-confident and therefore extremely desirable which should make your partner feel lucky to be with you, right? However, Leo, Venus heads retrograde while still in your demanding first house in late July, which could make it difficult to maintain your romantic intensity. When things don’t go exactly as planned, make sure you deal with the fallout together instead of shutting each other out.
The outgoing sun enters introverted Scorpio in late October, highlighting your home life, security and family zone. Spending time cozied up with bae sounds great now, and you’d gladly trade walking the red carpet for a night at home, cuddled up on the couch together and watching your favorite movie while playfully tossing popcorn at each other. It’s nice that even though you’re an admitted attention junkie, you can be just as happy when the cameras are off and it’s just the two of you.
Singles
Have you been disappointed by love lately? Or are you simply disappointed by the fact that you’ve been putting yourself out there but are still single? Well, Leo, the upbeat, communicative combination of Mars in your networking and socializing zone from the start of the year until late March reminds you how important it is to get out there and stay socially active despite your reservations. And here’s the thing: this cosmic partnership promotes making platonic connections too, so there really isn’t any pressure to meet your soul mate. Just keep mingling and seeing what’s out there. And if it turns into something more, that’s great!
If you’re anxious to meet new romantic prospects, however, you’ll want to pay attention to the new moon in your outgoing sign in the middle of August. This loud, fiery lunation puts you in the spotlight and helps you really express yourself. Your charm and confidence are an unbeatable combo, and when you also aren’t afraid to be vulnerable, you can’t help but attract some extremely hopeful romantic prospects. Deep down, you know you’re worth more than you’ve gotten out of love in the past, and this realization can put you on the path to a much happier love life than you’ve had so far this year.
And don’t ignore the fun, playful and flirty energy that works in your favor as the sun visits your pleasure zone from late November to late December! Get creative and take risks when it comes to finding love. Where is the likeliest place for you to meet someone new during this outgoing transit? A holiday party or an event centered around kids, perhaps a school play or sporting event.
Money & Career
You’re one of the flashier signs, Leo, and you don’t hesitate to let the world know that yeah, you love you some money! It not only affords you the bling that you want, but it also helps you stay up on current trends and make that amazing, all-important first impression. And with ever-changing Uranus still traveling with steady earth sign Taurus and your career zone this year, you’ll succeed by following a very unique and niche career path. This is a signal for you to carve out your own space in the world because positive things (like more money—ka-ching!) are linked to your unique talents, skills and abilities.
Jupiter, the planet of luck, will be spending time in your house of travel and expansion until mid-May, so in the first part of the year some major lucky opportunities come from keeping an open mind. Going to different places and experiencing different cultures can really open your eyes to new ideas for making money, and taking a chance on things you learn during this transit leads to some very interesting and lucrative lucky breaks.
Venus, the goddess of money, is partnered with diplomatic Libra and your third house of communication in the middle of November, giving you some extreme powers of negotiation and persuasion! The phrase “you could sell milk to a cow” is very fitting now, and if you’re in sales of any kind, this could be your biggest time of year. Your excellent communication skills combined with your natural sense of charisma help you pitch your business ideas or talk clients into buying things that net you some pretty nice commissions.

CANCELEO (CANCER/LEO) – July 19 – July 25
Zodiac Position: Approximately 26° Cancer–3° Leo Season: Mid-summer Elements: Water/Fire Qualities: Cardinal/Fixed Rulers: The Moon/The Sun Symbols: The Crab/The Lion Mode: Feeling/Intuition
Also called the Cusp of Oscillation, the CANCELEO is an overlapping and admixture of the fourth sign of the zodiac, Cancer, and the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo. The CANCELEO can be symbolically likened to the period around twenty-eight years of age in the human life, and literally arrives during the full heat and long days of summer in the northern hemisphere. The CANCELEO could be characterized as having Oscillating energy. Astrologically, this time marks the completion of one full cycle of the planet Saturn (which takes twenty-eight or twenty-nine years to return to the position in the zodiac it occupied at the time of one’s birth) and also to the planet Uranus having moved to occupy a position approximately 120 degrees around the zodiac from its position at birth. Both of these important planetary transits correspond to a point in human development, around the age of twenty-eight, when childhood, puberty, adolescence and young adulthood may be viewed for the first time to take stock of their lives – to evaluate them, and to attempt to plan for the future. Often this is a time of identity crisis, and a time of change. Marriages, breakups, seeking new jobs, moving to another city or setting up a new house are often encountered here. The cyclic nature of the Cancer/Leo cusp underlines the oscillating energies found at this point in life, and the uncertainties and indecisions which manifest.
The days which comprise the CANCELEO cusp reveal some of the instability felt during this period and also emphasize the need for decisiveness. The conflicting energies of more inward, sensitive Cancer (ruled by the Moon) and more outward, fiery Leo (ruled by the Sun) are also reflected here.
THE CANCELEO PERSONALITY: Those born on the Cancer/Leo cusp tend to have rather volatile personalities that can quickly swing from one extreme to the other. Actually, many forms of movement, change and flux typify those born on this cusp. Not only physical movement (travel, change of address, adventure, sports, etc.) but also oscillations in the realms of thought and emotion are characteristic. CANCELEOS can appear shy and retiring one moment and dynamic and active the next, reflecting a clash of the watery sensitivity of Cancer with the fiery assertiveness of Leo. An obvious task for those born on this cusp will be to dampen the extremes of their fluctuations, flattening out their activity curve to more of a straight line, and to reconcile and integrate conflicting tendencies.
CANCELEOS tend to be vibrant, energetic, exciting individuals who feel a need to seek out challenges and overcome them. Often, physical disciplines and the mastery of the body play a great role in their development. Not only strength but also grace of movement can be a focus for them.
ADVICE FOR CANCELEOS: Even out the highs and lows; the rewards of stability are great. Cultivate self-discipline but never lose your spontaneity. Build a calm center which bolsters your confidence and remains at the heart of your being. Concentrate more on living in the moment, free of past problems and future expectations. Pace yourself for the long haul.
CANCELEO ATTRACTIONS: CANCELEOS are generally most attracted to other cusp people, particularly LIBRASCORP (Libra/Scorpio) and AQUARICORN (Capricorn/Aquarius) cusps.

LEOVIRG (LEO/VIRGO) – August 19 – August 25
Zodiac Position: Approximately 27° Leo —3° Virgo Season: Late Summer Elements: Fire/Earth Qualities: Fixed/Mutable Rulers: The Sun/Mercury Symbols: The Lion/The Virgin Modes: Intuition/Sensation, Thought
Also called the Cusp of Exposure, is an overlapping and admixture of the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo, and the sixth sign of the zodiac, Virgo. LEOVIRG can be likened to the period around thirty-five years of age in the human life and also to the actual time of year at which it occurs – the winding down of summer in the northern hemisphere. During this period of the year, grass must be cut to make hay for the winter, some vegetables harvested and others prepared for harvesting. The days grow shorter and the nights longer, fall approaches and vacation time is almost over. In human development, at the age of thirty-five, adulthood is in full swing. This is a period in which the theme of Exposure figures prominently—particularly in terms of personal development, career and family life. At this time an individual may discover and perhaps reveal to others secret or undiscovered parts of his/her personality. In doing so, new sources of power may be accessed while a sense of identity is strengthened. Many women who have not as yet borne children think strongly about doing so, fearing to wait too long. Both sexes reevaluate their marriages or ongoing relationships, and wish to bring hidden matters out in the open for discussion. Unattached individuals may seek to define a more meaningful living situation for themselves.
The days which comprise the LEOVIRG cusp exemplify some of the manifestations of Exposure, where the fiery, energetic and aggressive nature of Leo blends or struggles with the rational, meticulous and often secretive nature of Virgo.
THE LEOVIRG PERSONALITY: In some aspects of character, those born on this cusp are highly secretive individuals, in others, extroverts. Of course these apparently contradictory elements are only two sides of the same coin. In order to reveal what has previously been hidden, secrets have to exist in the first place. Further, one might argue that one reason that things are hidden is so that they can be one day revealed, with maximum impact. Fortunately, many LEOVIRGS have a good feeling for kairos, that is, the right time to do something. Masters of effect, they know when to keep silent and when to speak. Thus both their concealments and revelations can be used as means, techniques, even weapons, to help them achieve their ends in very subtle or dramatic ways. Every cusp personality comprises conflicting elements, being influenced by two very different adjacent signs. Fortunately here, an organic dynamic is set up where practical, earthy Virgo elements combine beautifully with intuitive and explosive Leo qualities. Although intuitive-sensation types, LEOVIRGS also come under the influence of Mercury which promotes logical thought. The earthiness of Virgo is somewhat mitigated by the influence, as those born on this cusp tend to be more discriminating and less overtly sensual. The fourth mode, that of feeling, is the one lacking here, and therefore LEOVIRGS may be somewhat out of touch with their own deeper emotions and those of others.
ADVICE FOR LEOVIRGS: Don’t blame the world for not recognizing you if you hide yourself away. Be more transparent – let people see what you are really like. Beware of keeping secrets even from yourself. Allow others in, to share in both your joys and sorrows.
LEOVIRG ATTRACTIONS: People born on the Leo/Virgo cusp are generally most attracted to other cusp people, particularly ARIFISH (Pisces/Aries) and TAURINI (Taurus/Gemini) cusps.
Famous Leos
At first, it’s hard not to like those with the Sun in Leo with their open hearted, friendly ways. They often enter a room as a radiant presence that causes everyone to take notice, and are skilled at “working” a crowd for best effect. As a friend, they have a knack for mining a buried dream, polishing it to a shine again, and making anything seem possible.
There’s a public confidence with the Leo Sun that other signs only dream of, which gives them free reign to fully express their creative and social selves. Whether they end up in civil service or on a Broadway stage, chances are they’ll have an audience. When standing proudly before adoring fans (or co-workers), they’re casting out warmth that has a palpable power to win hearts and minds.
