Physiology: The Heart.

Rising Sign: (Ascendent or First House Cusp): Charistmatic, proud, stand out in a crowd, enthusiastic, regal, exhibitionistic, somewhat flamboyant, dramatic and theatrical.

Personality Traits of Leo: Our birthday greetings to all of you born under the sign of Leo ­ one of the most dramatic, theatrical, charismatic and flamboyant signs of the Zodiac, but also one with the most delicate ego! Being a Fire sign and "ruled" by the Sun, Leos always feel a cut above the rest, and there is something about their personality which makes people stop and take notice!

They always like to project their best impression on others, and usually show-off only when they have not been recognized for their talents. If they do not get enough attention for their achievements, they also become egocentric and boisterous. Always remember to look up to them even if you do not want to boost their ego too much, and never ignore a Leo! They are prone to flattery and do not really care whether it is genuine or not. Leos are often involved in professions where they are in the limelight or doing something where they are in the spotlight and it is not difficult for a Leo to get public response. Leo is a proud sign and they do not collapse under stress. They can be very stubborn and need to be more flexible and not feel that they are the only ones who have the answers.

They usually have intelligent leadership abilities (especially with Mercury in Leo) and are able to instill confidence because of their convictions and enthusiastic manner. They are excellent orators and public speakers, who dramatize and exaggerate not to distort the Truth but to clarify a point. The only problem is that they are not the best listeners and use most of their energy to convince others of their opinions.

Those with Venus in Leo can be somewhat exhibitionistic and flashy. They love exclusive clothing, silk, and gold jewellery. As they are very passionate and demand a lot of attention, they need a partner who is demonstrative in love and affection. Venus in Leo is compatible with Venus in Aries, Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius. Some of the people born under the sign of Leo are Bill Clinton, Paul Anka, Yves Saint Laurent, Emily Bronte, Alfred Hitchcock, Lucille Ball, Carl Jung, Fidel Castro, Napolean Bonaparte, Madonna and Sean Penn.

Leo: Refreshingly, Mars brings about your dynamic and charismatic appeal from mid Aug. throughout Sep., mid Nov. till end of Dec. 2008.  Venus also has the ability to enhance your personal magnetism in Sep. and Oct. 2008.  Ensure that your new captivating personality does not lead you to get pushy with loved ones especially in Oct. 2008.  This is an excellent time for personal beautification, as you are able to see yourself from an outside perspective and your dramatic taste will become more refined and subtle.  Embrace the newfound feelings of spirituality and do not be afraid to explore all creative possibilities in 2008.  In general, any delays that come along should be seen as preparation for the next seven years of your life, in which you will wholeheartedly begin to establish yourself.

A Spiritual Period for the Next Several Years :
Neptune inspires by first reflecting events which bring some sadness and confusions in your life. Neptune has been adversely affecting your Sun sign from the last few years for a few more years. However, this is an excellent period for being more creative and less security minded only. Spirituality will be emphasized in your life now especially if you have only been focusing on material values before. After 2012, you would have re-evaluated your values and found out who your true friends are and what your priorities are. Just be careful of escapist tendencies and alcohol which this transit may stimulate. Use this creative and spiritual period to help others, coaching and indulging in your musical talents.
