All About Leo

Leo (July 23-August 22)

The Sun is the center of our solar system and the ruler of Leo. When the whole universe revolves around you, it's hard to be humble! Like the Sun, Leo heats everything up with its dazzling drama. And when the Sun sets, it's ice, ice baby. That's why friends of Leo know to keep them happy and shining...or else. Leo is the sign of drama, and oh, can you put on a show! Even the Leos who pretend to be shy come to life in the spotlight. A natural-born leader, you love to be the boss. Leos need mega-doses of praise and appreciation, which may cause people to think you're self-centered. The truth is, you have a huge heart, and you're the zodiac's most generous sign. You're always there to help, spoil, and protect the people you love. So what if your appetite is huge? Your energy may be hard for others to match. Remember, people express love in different ways, and not everyone can show it like you do. But it's never boring to be part of your glamorous world, so let your star shine. Somebody's gotta rule, and it might as well be you!
