Leo(Jul 23 - Aug22)

Personality

You are both courageous and valorous. You never want to give way. You are honest, frank, straight forward and above-board. You are outspoken. You are enterprising and like to command. In fact, your strongest instinct is to rule and command. You love authority. You shun inferior jobs and are fond of a life of luxury. You tend to be religious, and are usually connected with religious or charitable organisations. You also have a fondness for art and literature.You have a strong desire to travel, and have a preference for aristocratic society

Traits to be Corrected

You tend to have a lot of ego and pride, and are easily ruffled. Your ‘enimities’ also continue for a long time. You have a certain amount of vanity, are pompous and prefer to show off your splendour. You are apt to get suspicious, even when there is no substantial cause for it. Sometimes, you are strongly inclined towards betting, gambling, speculation, and games of chance, which you should avoid.

Physical Appearance

Physically, you are strong and have abundant energy and fire which is reflected in your swift movements. Your constitution is generally very robust, and if you fall ill, you recover soon. Often, you are blessed with ‘fashion model’ looks.

Suitable Professions

You are courteous and diplomatic, and do well in all professions where you have to deal with dignified people. You are not suited to jobs where dealing with masses or labourers is involved. Generally, your rise in life is from the age of 22.

Business and Finances

You are magnanimous and are, therefore, unable to save in proportion to your income. Business partnerships lead to litigation, which  should be settled out of court. There is a danger of part of your property being destroyed by fire. In financial matters, you may not get
a square deal from your brothers and sisters, and this may even lead to litigation.

Lucky Days,Colors,Stones,Numbers

Lucky Days: Sundays

Lucky Colours : Red, orange, gold -- all the colours of the sun -- your planetary ruler, and white.

Lucky Stones: Ruby, amber, diamonds.

Your Lucky Numbers: The number 1 and number 4 series --1, 10, 28, 1, 22 40 and so on.

Romance and Marriage

You love steadfastly, and usually get married fairly early. However, being stubborn, you do not have a smooth relationship with your partner. You want to be overbearing, and unless the partner is submissive and docile, this leads to frequent clashes.

Ideal Match

Those who are born under Aries, Leo or Sagittarius would be your best partners.

Domestic Environment

Generally, your prefer to go in for an expensive look and brands which you can alternatively show off and be proud of. A neat and orderly house means a lot to you, as does a well laid table and etiquette that is near perfect.

Your Hobbies

The range of hobbies you can choose from is a relatively large one, ranging from dancing, designing jewellery and interiors to athletics and showjumping; from socializing and being a party person to sculpture, painting, acting collecting cut glass and collecting perfumes. If you can involve your children in your hobbies, so much the better. Generally, you prefer to indulge in hobbies, which you can carry out in comfort rather than those that involve very strenuous effort.

Moods

That eager mood with the feeling that you're moving towards learning something new is a most productive one for you. Carried away on the wings of enthusiasm you're willing to do anything and everything. It's the sullen hurt mood that you need to be careful about because chances are that you'll pick a fight with just about everybody or you'll speak out your mind without thinking of the consequences. On the other hands a mood in which you feel your responsibilities strongly tend to bring out the best in you. When you're in a protective mood you'll go out of your way to ensure that you get the results you've set your heart on and generally prove to be a staunch ally.

The Right Accessories for You

You love choosing accessories, both expensive ones and inexpensive ones, both big and small. In jewellery, necklaces and bracelets would bring you luck. In chappals and shoes, it's delicate designs which would complement your personality. In handbags or wallets, you can afford to go in for the more striking ones. Strangely, no matter how bright your colours or how unusual or even garish the design (not that you prefer garishness), the strength of your personality would enable you to carry anything off and give it a special look.
A special tip: The more expensive looking it is, the more advantages it'll bring you.

Your Drink

Even though you like to be seen as very knowledgeable when it comes to drinks, most of you can be surprisingly abstemious when it suits you. In fact, on the majority of occasions, it's you who'll tend to rule over the choice of what and how much you should have rather than the flavour or effect of the drink dictating terms. But you like to offer drinks to others and often possess a certain talent for mixing drinks and coming up with some unusual combinations. Any drink which has soda or lemon in it will be of value and make you more incisive in your approach.
To tipple the scales in your favour: Curiously, in your case, it's not so much the hours but the day that matters, and Saturday is your day for drinks.

Fabrics

For you, the richer the fabric is in texture and the more expensive it is, the better the outcome. Wearing rich fabrics will tend to make you think big and take all the right steps to move up the ladder of success. Generally, the more elaborate the weave, the more benefits there will be for you. Jamdani, for example, is your kind of weave as is tanchoi and patola, particularly the ones made in Pattan in Gujarat. For social occasions, fabrics with floral motifs would highlight many of your impressive personality traits, while a plain but richly coloured, deep bued fabric would bring you gains in the professional and business spheres.
A special tip: If it's a win or lose situation, wear non-mulberry silks, such as the ones from Assam.

How Safe are you

When it comes to responses, you'll respond, of course, like the lion associated with your zodiac sign. But they may not always be wise responses. And while you'll be theoretically strong on security and general measures, in practice you'll tend to take things for granted. However, on the question of safety, despite being vulnerable, most of you are blessed by protective forces. If, for instance, you've had a breakdown on a lonely stretch and you see a couple of people advancing towards you, they're more likely to be good Samaritans that goons.
Your safety rating on a scale of ten: 8.

Furniture

Even if its old style furniture, you'd somehow prefer it to be different. You kind of furniture must be the sort with which you can relate. ``This piece, you know, we got the wood from there, we arranged for such and such carpenter, this is how we decided on the design...'' or ``We saw this at the Cottage Industries Emporium'' sort of thing. Old or new, your furniture must have a history or reference you can narrate. While you yourself need to take pride in your furniture, you want others to notice it too. And somewhere, it matters to you that your tastes shouldn't be classed as old fashioned. You'd be quite willing to spend quite a bit on your furniture.
A tip that won't give you regrets: Go through a whole lot of suitable magazines or catalogues before choosing your furniture.

Herbs

Bay leaves are what will provide you with inspiration, with the `go' to reach your your targets in the shortest possible time frames. Combined with mint leaves, they'll provide you with the key to open doors which had remained closed to you at various levels. The basic material for these important keys will be your ability to improvise, your capacity to assimilate new experiences and influences and your desire to make full use of your capabilities in general.
Your chief herbs: Angelica, borage, bay.
Your astrological health points: The heart area.

The Sexual side

Ever expressive, ever loving, ever willing to respond--even when you're not quite in the mood. That's you, most of the time. However, you want the other person to respect you highly as well, and you don't take taunts or being ignored in front of others lightly. You want to be an equal, supportive partner, and you expect the other person to be the same--which is great. But this expectation often makes you too possessive and demanding and creates unnecessary friction as the other person tends to chafe at the rules you lay down.

The Recommendation: Finding more things to share with each other will cement occasional cracks in your love relationship.

Negative Aspect of Leo
There is a word coined in the English language specially for you: Bully! The problem lies in the stark contrast between how you see yourself and how people see you. What you see in the mirror is a handsome, regal, graceful human, born to lead the rest of humanity; what people see in you is a oversized dandy, with boorish manners, vain talk and self-praise that induce king-sized yawns in all and sundry. You belong, like all lions, either in the jungle or in the zoo.

The Sexual Compatibility for Leo

Expect a shatteringly sensual love with your own Sun Signs, though your robust egos are bound to clash. Scorpio is a sexy bear, and you're strong enough to control this man's emotional turbulence. Both lovable Sagittarius and intrepid Aquarius have no trouble granting the independence Leo needs, and though Pisces may seem low-key, he's a rascal in bed. Lovely! Charged-up Aries has energy enough for you, seductive Gemini exerts powerful allure, and you adore the Libran man's ineffable charm. Virgo isn't expansive enough, Capricorn and moody Cancer tend to be gloom-ridden, and Taurus too convention-bound.
