PS PLEASE GO TO THE BOTTOM AND SEE THE COMPLETE LEO BIRTHDAY & ANNIVERSARY LISTS!

THE LEO PERSONALITY….JULY 24 thru AUGUST 23

Every Leo worth their salt has an air of dignity about them and they behave accordingly! Leo’s know they are different from everyone else and they don’t want us to forget it. We would all wither and die without Leos….they are life enhancing! Most Leos have wonderful hair, and is often the first thing you will notice about them. They are exuberant and enthusiastic, as well as very warm and affectionate. Leos are great ego-boosters and it is great having them in your life! Most Leos are confident and don’t need to prove to anyone how great they are. They make impressions on people, very naturally. They are very organized….brilliant at making things happen…and they make everyone sit up and take notice. Family is very dear to every Leo’s heart. They are great communicators and always keep in touch with everyone. They have big interest in their children. Leo is the sign of creativity and they express their talents in many ways. If they don’t they are frustrated and irritable. Key interests for Leos are dancing, acting, painting…..This is the sign of drama and talent….they love to live in the limelight. That is why so many Leos are entertainers, designers, in the fashion industry, and also sports. Leos have big hearts and boundless supplies of love for everyone they care about. They are loyal and faithful and expect others to behave that same way toward them. Leo friends can look forward to being cherished by them. Leos do tend to get bossy….they mean noharm…they just can’t help themselves! They need a partner who can stand up to them and set them straight now and then. Leos are very generous and spend lavishly on their loved ones. They favor quality over quantity and have excellent taste. They love spoiling their favorite people, no matter how much it costs! We sure do LOVE our Leo Friends!
