12 signs of the zodiac - key characteristics
Leo 23rd July - 22nd August
There's a fitting song by Cyndi Lauper that goes "girls just wanna have fun" as Leo's love to party and like being silly. It is the sign related to children, for whom having fun is second nature, and most grown up Leo's are like big kids. Leo's have a naturally sunny disposition which makes them warm, generous and cheerful. They are popular due to their infectious enthusiasm, which draws people to them.
Those born under this fiery sign are the actors, entertainers and divas of the zodiac who love to be the centre of attention. Their egos can be on the large side and they want to shine and be the best, but also expect the admiration and appreciation that goes with it. A love the good life is indigenous to Leos and they do everything in style as they like to make an impression and show off. Leo's can often be quite vain, so they dress to impress and are known for making grand gestures.
Born organisers, Leos like to be in charge and can be rather stubborn, bossy, dogmatic and melodramatic at times. Their strong creative abilities will manifest through career, children or hobbies.
