How can you not love the vibrant and vivacious energy of our 5th house rulers. The house of creativity, children, romance, play and all things that are generally fun!

Born to perform, these fiery and passionate creatures relish the spotlight and ooze charisma. Like the Sun itself, Leo energy shines brightly, they’ll own the centre stage with the same authority as the Sun occupying the centre of our solar system. No surprise that Leo has a reputation for being a bit of a show-off then.


These bright sparks need to express their creative energy and expect their audience to appreciate their talents. Leo is the king/queen of the jungle and they don’t like to be ignored, they want to be recognised and adored. 

This feeling of being oh so special can sometimes veer into diva territory and if you’re not giving them the attention they deserve then you better be prepared to meet the drama queen that lurks within.

They have a tremendous amount of pride and a rather big ego, if you hurt either you can quickly come face to face with haughty arrogance, a lengthy sulk and full-on drama, all in equal measure. 

 In relationships, these lions are affectionate, attentive and fiercely loyal. Their charm is hard to resist and they’ll keep you entertained no end. They own their natural sex appeal and are super confident in going after what, or who they want. 

They have an extremely generous spirit and love to give whether it’s spoiling their loved ones and giving gifts or giving instructions (lol) yes they are definitely guilty of being a tad overbearing and bossy even if they do mean well.

For good or for bad, Leo's presence will never go unnoticed!!
