1. We shine

Leo is ruled by the Sun. The actual Sun. The thing the whole solar system goes round. I’m not saying that’s significant. I’m just saying it’s the Sun.

2. We’re generous

A Leo will share their snacks, their time, their stage. Especially their stage. Come on up. Stand just there. A little to the left. Perfect.

3. We’re brave

Lions don’t hide. If something needs saying, a Leo says it. Clearly. Loudly. Possibly with a short speech.

4. We make everyone feel special

We light up a room, and then we share the light. When a Leo tells you you’re brilliant, you feel brilliant. That’s a gift.

5. We’re loyal

The pride looks after its own. Once you’re in a Leo’s pride, nobody messes with you. Nobody.

6. We know how to have fun

Parties, shows, dancing in the kitchen. A Leo turns a Tuesday into an event.

7. We’re natural leaders

People follow a Leo because a Leo looks like they know where they’re going. Sometimes we do. Always, we look like it.

8. We have excellent hair

The mane. Need I say more? I need not. But I will. It is magnificent.

9. We’re warm-hearted

Under all the roaring, a Leo is a big softie. We’ll cry at the end of a film. Majestically.

10. We’re always ourselves

A Leo never pretends to be someone else. Why would we? Have you seen us?

Leo says: “Thank you. Thank you. No, please, sit down. All right, one more bow.”
