Has anyone recently said to you:

„Не, благодаря, не се нуждая от любезната ви услуга“. И то с лице, разцъфнало в неотразима ослепителна усмивка? Ако отговорът ви е „да“, знайте, че източникът на това ярко излъчване е бил звяр от породата на големите котки. За Лъва е нещо съвсем обикновено да демонстрира неукротимата си гордост по слънчево-закачлив начин. Това е причината, заради която той много често излиза сух от водата. Лъвът е царят, той властва над всички животни. Лъвът човек властва над всички нас.

With Leo, it's best to joke.

Then he won't growl at you, gnash his teeth and scare you to death, he'll just purr like a kitten. There is no middle ground for Leo. He is either bubbling with energy and terribly sociable, or he falls into aristocratic laziness, barely stifling his blissful yawns. If you're interested in this beast, you'll have to wade through all the glamourous, posh and pretentious establishments in town to find it.

I assure you that at least half of the playboys in these places will turn out to be fellow Leos. And the more shy of them also play it like a playboy, but in their homes, contentedly drawn out and accustomed to the role of domestic cats. Leos really hate boredom and gloom. They don't tolerate them at all.

Even the noblest of them are convinced internally of their royal privilege to rule over others.

They are just waiting impatiently for the right moment when they will leap onto the stage with a lion's leap. If you don't believe me, find a Leo of this type and touch on the subject of dignity. Or try to take away from him something that he thinks is rightfully his. Give him an order, for example, or show him in a suitable way that you consider him a total nothing. Then the roar of this humble kitten will ring the whole world.

There are few daredevils who have the fearlessness to stand up to him when he decides to defend his rights and dignity. Some Leos mellow with age, but never hang their proud head. Never! As for the physical qualities of the representatives of this sign, look around for people who look like a lion or a lioness, that is, they have a mane, hair swept back so that it reveals the face with a deceptively indifferent look.

Leos have an erect posture, a haughty gait, and a fluid feline grace.

Women combine in themselves elegant agility and excitement, often hidden behind a well-thought-out calm, but unyielding demeanor. Remember that the lioness is always on the alert and if she feels threatened even for a moment, she will immediately pounce on you. Her claws are hidden but sharp. Щом Лъвът разсеяно се взре в простосмъртните около себе си, ще забележите как погледът му изведнъж става надменен, а осанката му – величествена. As a rule, both his gestures and his speech are categorical.

In a company, it is impossible for a Leo to remain unnoticed.

He is sure to grab your attention with some theatrical statement or action. It is almost impossible to face a Leo and not tense up or tense up. I don't know if we're doing this out of desire to emulate the kingly demeanor before us, or if we're just mustering up the strength to endure the inevitable sermonizing, because Leos love to give free advice. They have the habit, and the skill, to explain to you in a slightly arrogant and condescending way what exactly you need to do to arrange your life. This tendency to learn explains the fact why so many Leos are teachers, politicians or psychiatrists.

As infuriating as their morals are, these people

they really have the ability to assess the situation soberly and sensibly

and they know very clearly how to remove obstacles along the way. Unfortunately, this insight and ability to make real judgment literally evaporates when the Leo has to deal with the problems in his own life on his own. And yet, this is one of the qualities that make Leo so appealing, along with his undisguised sense of superiority and undeniable talent combined with a transparent vulnerability.

The proud haughty Leo vulnerable?

Yes exactly. He always feels deeply affected when his wisdom and generosity go unnoticed or unrewarded. It is very easy to subdue him, you just have to flatter him. For many otherwise strict and tyrannical Leos, this very weakness turns out to be their Waterloo.

Leo's vanity is his Achilles' heel.

Compliments act like valerian to a cat, and lack of respect blinds him with rage. These two extremes interfere with his sanity. There are Leos who successfully control them, but regardless, they always slumber in this sun sign and are always present in it to a certain degree. Whether the flattery refers to physical appearance or intellectual ability, they are equally stimulating to him.

In many ways, Leo is extremely insightful.

He rarely wastes his energy. He never tries to draw water from a dry well, as, for example, Aries tends to do, and therefore Leo becomes an extremely good organizer and a reasonable leader. If he can find the strength to suppress his innate dramatics, his orders are very effective, because he is a master of the simple, unambiguous word, even when he overplays. Leo is always admired openly and magnanimously. He often even bothers others with his generous compliments.

He is equally wasteful when it comes to expressing his displeasure.

As in the head, so in the mouth. It is never difficult for him to express his attitude in the most categorical way, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. The regalness of this sun sign shines through in all its glory when a Leo or a Lioness step into their role as hospitable hosts. They will make you feel like you are in a palace. One has the feeling that at any moment a carriage with a footman might appear in front of the door and some Marie Antoinette or some Madame de Barry might get out of it. The Lions surround their guests with an abundance of delicious food, premium wines, beautiful ladies and pleasant music.

If a person has a relationship with a Leo, then right now it is the place for him to point out that among those born under this sign, old maids and bachelors are rare.

But if you do come across any, don't jump to conclusions before you've taken the trouble to secretly check how things are. Always keep in mind that there are many and all kinds of secrets hanging around the lion's den. If your Leo happens to be gentle and kind, then rest assured that he is at least in love, or has just fallen out of love with someone. The latter is clearly evident in the dejected tragic expression on his face. Leo's unyielding pride is often the cause of broken hearts and broken marriages, although without his mate, Leo is a pitiful sight.

But when his pride is hurt by a loved one, melancholy instantly gives way to rage and unbridled feelings. Remember, no one can compare to Leo in ambition and stoicism. When necessary, and with his unparalleled endurance and ability to adapt to even the most oppressive living conditions. This he achieves, relying solely on his bare faith and never-ending optimism.

The tendency to forgive and sympathize are two very characteristic traits in the nature of the big cat.

That is why both reconciliation and separation are a very common phenomenon in his emotional life. However, the former only happens after the fireworks of his wounded pride have already burned out and he has felt lonely again. Leo is almost always in the whirlwind of passion not only in relation to the opposite sex, but also in relation to life itself. Life without love, for both proud lions and meek kittens, is simply not worth living. When love is gone, the sun goes out for him.

These men and women never rely on other people.

Предпочитат те да бъдат нечия опора. Обичат да се грижат за слабите и безпомощните и да ги защищават. Лъвът може да прегракне от рев и най-драматично да се оплаква, че всички тежат на неговия гръб и винаги трябва да носи този товар. Но не вземайте на сериозно оплакванията му. Той обожава подобни неща. Опитайте се само веднъж да го освободите от подобно бреме. Или дори само мъничко да му помогнете. Тогава ще видите как на момента презрително ще отхвърли предложението ви. Особено финансова помощ Лъвът винаги предпочита да избягва. В абсолютно всичко Лъвът държи на качествата „лукс“ и „екстра“. Никога не се скъпи, когато става дума за развлечения и удоволствия.

Because Leos never quit their job halfway

they either radiate incredible vitality, or they constantly complain of being tired and worn out. This second reaction is typical only in the absence of recognition and in an insatiable thirst for affection and affection. A Leo's heart is either extremely healthy or has a serious problem. When he is sick, the Leo is at first flattered by the care with which he is surrounded, but soon realizes that he has found himself in the role of the weak instead of the strong hero. Then very quickly he decided to get better and get back on his feet. And he succeeds. For the subjects of the sun, there is no middle ground. They are either very sloppy and messy, or meticulously neat and tidy.

Lions either overflow with unstoppable energy like a real steam locomotive, or fall into permanent laziness and lie in the sun for days like cats.

When they work, they work, when they play, they play.

When they rest, they also do it to the fullest. Most of them have the uncanny ability to free themselves from tedious duties by passing them on to others with the obligatory bribing smile. However, they reserve for themselves the most important and responsible tasks, such as who will be elected president and how the war will be won.

In difficult and critical moments, to his own astonishment, Leo unwaveringly takes full responsibility for the situation. He bears his burden without complaint or whimper; helps the helpless, protects the fearful, encourages the faint-hearted. Without fear, he embarks on decisive actions. Such is the true nature of Leo. But she shines in all her greatness only when he goes through his bohemian period and sends it to the attic along with his boutique ties and the guitar he loved to play.

The lion, no matter how quiet or noisy, is always a true and faithful friend,

just in his anger and relentless as an enemy, inventive and original, strong and vibrant. His most characteristic clothes are lavish, as they best suit his bright personality. We always forgive his arrogance, his sometimes unbearable ego, his sometimes ridiculous fits of vanity and laziness, because his heart, like the metal that brings him happiness, is real gold. Mischievous and generous, cheerful and loving, Leo lives in a field of beautiful poppies when the Sun is at its peak.

The die he throws confidently shows him the numbers one and four. The lion proudly wears a topaz for good luck. He stoically bears the blows of fate with the help of his innate dignity and sophistication. The warm golden rays of his incorrigible optimism are colored orange by the glare of the sunset, and his nights shine with a thousand bright stars.
