With the Sun in Leo, you love to be the center of attention. The limelight is where you feel most at home expressing your dramatic flair, natural charisma and exuberance. The flipside is that you suffer from wounded pride when ignored or overlooked. However, the depression you experience is likely to be short-lived. Unless the wound is deep, any doubts you may have in your ability to succeed will be quickly dispelled by your natural optimism and self-confidence. It is this vital impulse and persistence that makes you a born leader and organizer. A question you often ask yourself, if I do not do this, who will?
You are dignified and honest in your dealings with others. Once you have determined that a person is worthy of your trust, you are extremely loyal in your friendships. You also make a romantic and generous lover. Because your own standards are so high, however, you are likely to be disappointed when those closest to you fail to meet your expectations. Your partner is liable to feel the chill of your displeasure if they do something to lose your admiration or respect. Nursing a fierce pride, you do not forgive or forget easily, especially if the slight is personal.
On your path to personal growth, the greatest challenge for you is to let go of your own particular view of the world and the way things should be. In part, this will come when you understand the impossibility of controlling external events. You must learn how to trust others to do things that you feel can only be accomplished properly if you do it yourself. The secret is to cultivate a more detached and impersonal attitude, and then you will discover that your highest ambitions can be realized through service to others and a loving, compassionate heart.
