Name: Tynisha Keli
Birth Date: July 28, 1985 (New Bedford, Massachussetts, United States)

Sign: Leo

Leo is the Fifth sign of the Zodiac. Its name may derive from the Latin leo or the Greek leon, both of which mean “lion.” However, the name is likely Semitic in origin…from the Hebrew word, labi. Leo is known as the “royal sign,” symbolic of exuberance and leadership, and individuals who fall within its jurisdiction place courage and personal honesty above all else. Others may not necessarily fulfill the expectations of a Leo native and thus, the life of a Leo is often rife with disappointments. There is a radiant warmth associated with this Zodiac Sign which emanates from the Leo personality to touch the hearts of friends and admirers. This fortunate personality trait is apt to open many doors in life and the individual ruled by Leo welcomes both authority and responsibility. The fiery temperament of a Leo subject is typical of the Zodiac’s fire group…fire being the element which rules this sign. There are few people who fail to be attracted to the Leos of this world since they are indeed likeable individuals, being frank, open, honest and endearing. Of all the Zodiac Signs, it is Leo which is most known for dedication to an ideal. There is a tendency here toward a drowning in egocentricity and materialism, coupled with a lack of both the desire and the capacity for spiritual development. Thus, those born under the Sign of Leo should strive to avoid the type of exaggeration that can debase their many inherent gifts.

Inner-Self

At their most glorious, Leo subjects are big-hearted, passionate and generous souls, appreciative of loyalty and sincerity while withholding nothing of themselves…possibly because these individuals cannot abide hypocrisy or deceipt in others. They are devoted to high ideals, being honorable, conscientious, courageous and daring. In short, they live for the moment, savoring life to the fullest. Indeed, those who fall under the jurisdiction of Leo are difficult to dislike since there is usually something about them which is exceedingly warming. The fiery Leo temperament is typical of the element by which they are ruled and these are frank, open, honest and very endearing souls. The warmth spread by Leo individuals will always pay dividends and to achieve their highest aims, these natives will need allies, collaborators, friends and backers. In short, Leo subjects were born to lead in whatever the chosen sphere might be, but they must be sure to choose that sphere very carefully.

The Female

The Leo woman is usually blessed with an almost stately appearance and can achieve great elegance…although she is not necessarily interested in clothes as articles of fashion. This female possesses a rather regal air, a sympathetic disposition and excellent social qualities. The woman ruled by Leo is a passionate soul who can easily be loyal and loving when in a secure relationship where she feels she is loved. However, she can become vindictive or bitter when she is scorned. Because this female has such high standards in so many spheres of life, other people rarely meet her expectations. Still, this is not usually a source of worry to her unless the individual concerned is one with whom she is intimately involved. The Leo woman can show love, forgiveness and kindness to complete strangers or mere acquaintances and yet, may be critical and almost harsh to her loved ones if she feels they have failed her in some way. As a sweetheart, this is a female who is proud, hard-to-get and expects much from any partner. As a long-term mate, she has the ability to be self-sacrificing and totally unselfish. As a mother, she tends to be overly conscientious on occasion, expecting the usual high standards from her children. Regardless, they will never lack for love or affection. There is no doubt that the Leo woman expects a great deal of her family, but she is also prepared to give of her utmost in return.
With her aristocratic point of view and social graces, the female governed by Leo is a magnificent manager who is capable of running an elaborate home. She tends to attract people to her and commands an immense amount of respect. Women ruled by Leo are truly the most loyal souls, whose entire lives are lived courtesy of their deeply emotional natures. This is a passionate, enduring and self-sacricing female who gives and feels and bestows and blesses. She will lavish attention upon her loved ones with an attitude that is lush and generous in the extreme.

Leo natives like to shower loved ones with affection. These are very demonstrative and affectionate souls. They prefer romanic interludes to take place in luxury and generally enjoy the more refined pleasures associated with love. However, those governed by this Sign can be quite domineering and need a partner who can stand up to them. Conscious of their considerable charm and magnetism, Leo natives are powerful and vigorous in a physically romantic sense. Still, for all their dramatics, those ruled by Leo are rather conservative individuals beneath the surface.

Physical Appearance

Those who are born under the jurisdiction of Leo tend to retain their youth and exuberance of spirit until well toward the end of their lives. Indeed, in many cases, these natives give the illusion of appearing to grow younger as they actually become older. As a general rule, Leo subjects are of average to slightly above average height with strong, excellently-proportioned and well-sculpted bodies. They are also blessed with broad shoulders and finely-shaped heads, which may be rather large and roundish. They possess strong and pleasant voices and walk with a quick and buoyant step…although the movement itself may be somewhat slow and deliberate, as is their speech. The overall stature here is altogether rather distinguished, being regal and dignified in bearing. The skin of Leo individuals will customarily be healthy, the complexion ruddy, rosy or flushed in many instances, although it can occasionally be light in color. In short, natives of this Sign easily attract the attention of others in a physical sense.
In many respects, Leo natives very much resemble their animal counterparts, tending to be broad at the shoulders and trim at the hips…rather like the anatomy of a lion. There is often something of a “strut” to the walk here with a tendency to puff out the chest and hold in the stomach. One unmistakable trademark will be the very erect and upright bearing of the upper torso, neck and head. The hair, fine of texture and usually wavy, is customarily somewhat light, being either blond or reddish in color. Regardless, it almost always distinctive in some manner…perhaps sweeping gracefully up-and-out, away from the face in mane-like fashion, or laying close to the head, scooping decidedly across the forehead. The eyes, commanding and fearless with a sometimes trace of haughtiness, are usually quite beautiful with a soft and friendly expression. Normally brownish in color, they can also be blue or hazel and customarily possess a slight tilt at the corners. The eyebrows may be thick and rather well-formed while the teeth are usually white, somewhat large and evenly-spaced. The Leo nose is generally straight with a tendency to aquilinity (or a slight hook). The whole expression of these subjects is known to be leonine, combining a regal self-assuredness with an almost disdainful nonchalance. The Leo voice is full-toned and the speech pattern somewhat decisve and often quite commanding. In short, others tend to listen to Leo individuals and obey…partciularly when they “roar” like a lion. Often handsome creatures who take great pride in their good looks, there is a tendency for the Leo native to put on weight after a rather streamlined youth. The smile of Leo is customarily broad and beaming, the walk and carriage being rather regal…full of pride, dignity and, on occasion, somewhat pompous in character. Leo mannerisms are often described as catlike, and its subjects may be inclined to knead cushions and pillows or stroke such materials as velvet while licking the lips in abject satisfaction. Such natives may also unconsciously rub or scratch their necks and heads when upset or nervous.

To some extent, the above descriptions are influenced and affected by the qualities associated with the Decan into which the Leo individual falls. (To read more about the qualities associated with the Decans of Aries, please click on the link given below.)
A subject born within the First Decan (July 23 to August 1…also known as the Leo Decante of Leo), is likely to have a medium-tall to tall body which will tend toward being somewhat slim and wiry. An aquiline or hooked nose is common in these natives with a face that is often thin or narrow. The hair is usually combed back, flat at the sides with a greater length at the back and rarely possesses the customary lion’s mane appearance usually associated with this Sign. The personality and appearance of this native is likely to exude a certain brightness and sparkle and there is an accented personal pride which is easily discernable by the erect walk and upward tilt to the head.
