OR LEO RISING (Ruled by the Sun)
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and its symbol is the Lion.
Positive Expression
Natives of this sign belong in the center of their world, capable of managing and leading, influential and prestigious. Often powerful, confident and self-assured (有自信的), they don't need to assert their individuality, their purpose is simply 'to be' and they greatly influence the lives of others around them. In private, they are warm, affectionate, fun loving and optimistic. Because they radiate (流露）confidence, many Leos gain position by means of personality rather than they achievements.
Negative Expression
Leos absolutely hate taking second place and always try to lead whether they are capable or not. The Leonian shadow could well be overbearing (傲慢专横的), dictatorial (独裁的), egocentric (自我中心的) and self-worshiping (自我崇拜）. Individuals born under this sign absolutely love to show off and adore being 'center stage' and are overly status-conscious.
Physical and Sexual Characteristics
Leo is the most charming of all the signs. They often have an athletic figure, golden hair and bright expression - what you see is what you get. In love they are demonstrative, affectionate, faithful and totally committed to giving his/her partner the best of everything. On the down side, the Leonian's need for excessive love and demand for admiration sometimes leads to flirtatious or promiscuous behaviour.
Romance Profiles
The creative and romantic Lion rules the Zodiac's House of Pleasure, insuring that any romp (顽皮的人) with this cat will include sensory as well as sensual delights. The playful Lion loves fun and is a supremely social animal. If Leos can act out their fantasies on a public (even private) stage, all the better, for those born under this sign truly believe they're the star. As befits the King/Queen of the Zodiac, Leos are leaders and their powerful presence, as well as staying power, insures them success in their conquests. Romance is also a princely quality for the Lion, and those who ensnare this passionate animal may well be rewarded with a wonderful and inventive lover. Like the ruling Sun, which is at the center of the universe, Leos love to have the world revolve around them.Romance
Affairs of the heart will quickly take on a "me first" quality with the Lion, since they truly believe they are the best and must come first. Leos love to feel good, as befits royalty, so they will respond exceptionally well to pampering (纵容) and flourishes. While Leos loves to be admired and adored, they can also take the lead in romance, since they believe their strength and power will win the day. When the Lion gets going, watch out! Passionate fireworks will fly, since these folks know how to turn on the charm, and the heat. Since all the world's a stage to the prancing, dancing Lion, fun, excitement and a little razzle-dazzle are all part of their repertoire (全部技能). Leos are willing to gamble where romance and love are concerned, since losing is not in their vocabulary.
Relationships
A relationship with the daring, yet devoted, Lion will rarely prove dull. This showy cat may need to be lavished with attention, but can also ravish a lover with riches in return. A slow, smoldering pas de deux which leads to mutual bliss is what the Lion would love from a partner. The fiery Lion requires a lover who can keep up with them, and certainly one who can match wits. If not, the risk of boredom and flight is a big one, since Leo has very high expectations. A partner who can understand, and indulge, the Lion's need to be the center of attention will be a keeper for this regal (帝王的) cat. The ideal Leo soul mate understands the pleasure principle and will work hard to keep their mate satisfied.
Love
The strength and amorous prowess which Leos possess makes them a natural leader in the dance of love. This cat may want to rule, but it also wants to be admired. The Lion's generous and giving nature makes certain that a lover will feel special. The Lion may test a lover from time to time in their quest for answers about love: what is is really? how can I feel it the most? The one with the best answers to these questions will surely make this cat purr (咕噜咕噜叫) . Love is a most attractive state for Leos, since the pleasure, attraction and fun of the game are all qualities which make the Lion glow.
What Leo Needs
What the King/Queen of the Jungle wants more than anything else is to be fawned over. Being a devoted sort, the Lion will return this gesture in kind, making a partner feel special, indeed. A lover who comes bearing gifts, exudes class and remembers that it's nothing but the best for this stellar cat is clever and wise. The one who can bring out the true Lion, which is often hiding behind the glare of white lights and preening (打扮) to an adoring crowd, will do both of them a favor. In the end, Leo's lover must always remember who is number one and act on this all the time.
The Leo lover is giving and devoted, and lives for the pleasures that life can bring. One of these is putting them squarely in the spotlight, where they believe they truly belong. Anyone willing to bask in the Lion's warm glow is in for a red-hot time!
