Teen Leo

Leo Deets

• In tropical astrology, based on the seasons and the Earth-Sun relationship, the dates for the Sun sign Leo are July 22/33 to August 21-23 (the dates change every year).
• Leo's glyph resembles the main of the Lion, this sign's magnificent symbol. Like the Lion, Leo is fearsome at times, regal, proud, colorful, physically powerful, and a natural leader.
• Leo’s health areas are the heart and pulmonary system, the spine and lower back.
• Born with the Sun at its summertime brightest, Leo teens are prone to enthusiastic outbursts, and have forceful, gregarious personalities.

Teen Leo

When the Sun is at its peak, it's the season of Sun sign Leo. If you're a Teen Lion, you roar often, and have a naturally expressive manner. Life is a game to you at times, and you laugh a lot. But you're also one to push for winning, if there's a chance to be #1. You're a born leader, with a knack for whipping everyone up into a motivated frenzy.

The Leo teen has confidence, and in these years, often that leads to being popular. You love to be adorned, and like my younger Leo sister, might make it your business to be dressed in designer clothes. You're willing to make demands on parents that other teens shy away from. This makes you a force to be reckoned with, and a teen that often gets your way.

Big Heart

Yes, the Leo teen has a big expressive ego, and this is the vehicle that leads you to radiate your unique gifts. You might be drawn into performing, public speaking or class politics. Chances are, you're very memorable and make a blazing first impression. When you are as generous with others, as you are with yourself, you are an irresistible friend and a delight to parents and teachers.

One gift of the Lion is being able to encourage others. You yourself shine when you get ample approval, and wilt when there's a lackluster response. It's a big deal for you to have friends that cheer you on. You really suffer when you're isolated or locked in a colorless, routine school program.

Your big ego is an asset, and not a negative, as some might declare. With a healthy confidence, you can lock on your goals, and be a high achiever. But your impact is not always scholastic -- sometimes your presence is felt on the social scene, and this is where you shine. You love having lots of friends, and take pride in your sense of loyalty.

Your shiny personality opens doors, as long as you don't take it for granted and become full of yourself. You have a big impact on friends, and make the most of birthdays, graduation parties, school trips, holiday events. You are a celebrant, and at your best, moving toward peak moments that are out of the ordinary. You can have a harder time with everyday life, and when you're bored. It's up to you, to seek out challenges that match your great passion for life, and allow you to fully express your creativity.

Big Personality

Take heart, Teen Leo, you'll rise above any attempts to turn you into an automaton worker drone. Draw on your self-assurance to discover your own colorful way. Time spent developing your sense of style, is a well spent, because your greatest creation is you, and your presence.

Every sign has a shadow side, and when you're horrid, you can be super bossy, disrespectful, and selfish. The Lion, we know has a lot of pride. Be alert to the ways too much pride throws you off balance. Healthy pride is your natural state, but when it's off the charts, you'll find that it can become a burden. Watch that you don't become rigid in your pride, since that most always leads to hard lessons.

Watch that you don't fall into the know-it-all trap, because it ends up making you lose all perspective. If you're frustrated, it could be from a lack of the right kind of attention, or a sign that you need to create!

Your inner fire is intense, and a big part of how you work your magic. It can warm others, or burn them, and sometimes learning how to modulate your fire is trial and error.

You want to live grandly, with epic dreams, and that aspiration combined with your sheer audacity, leads to success. Yours is a sign that aims for the top, but also excels at play, as the master of ceremonies at parties and holiday gatherings.

A Performer Needs an Audience

• Most Leos love to put on a show, like my sister who has everyone in stitches, when she performed as the Rock n' Roll Granny in middle school. There's a touch of the outrageous to Leo that lifts everyone's moods.
• Leo is the sign of royalty, and like a cat, there's a need to rule over a territory; when controlling behavior goes overboard, you get the overbearing, arrogant, bossy Leo.
• Leo’s confidence is contagious and inspires others to be their big Self, too. You can be a gift to your friends and parents, just by being you.
• Leo shines in friendship, the rituals of romance, life’s celebrations and when in the company of children. You may enjoy babysitting, or spending time "parenting" your siblings.
