Astrology Facts

Leo is symbolized by the Lion, which gives this sign its courage, as well as its position as the ""king of the jungle."" Leos generally have many friends because they can be very generous and loyal. They're the life of the party, magnetic and self-assured, and can bring groups of people together for almost any purpose.

The areas of the body associated with Leo are the heart and spine and, as such, these two areas should be protected at all costs. The heart, in particular, is crucial to Leo's functioning, and it's advisable to have regular tests to ensure its health. Cultivating an exercise program can also help.

Challenges can arise when Leo becomes overly enamored of its own achievements. This sign can be arrogant, inflexible or even lazy, as it assumes someone else will pick up life's pieces. Bringing a healthy sense of humor to oneself helps to mitigate this tendency, as does learning to work with others in a cooperative manner.
