Finance
Leos are great leaders but
not necessarily good managers. They are better at handling the overall picture
than the nitty-gritty details of business. If they have good managers working
for them they can become exceptional executives. They have vision and a lot of
creativity.
Leos love wealth for the
pleasures it can bring. They love an opulent lifestyle, pomp, and glamour. Even
when they are not wealthy they live as if they are. This is why many fall into
debt, from which it is sometimes difficult to emerge.
Leos, like Pisceans, are generous to a fault. Very often they want to acquire
wealth solely so that they can help others economically. Wealth to Leo buys
services and managerial ability. It creates jobs for others and improves the
general well-being of those around them. Therefore – to a Leo – wealth is good.
Wealth is to be enjoyed to the fullest. Money is not to be left to gather dust
in a mouldy bank vault but to be enjoyed, spread around, used. So Leos can be
quite reckless in their spending.
With the Sign of Virgo on Leo’s 2nd House (of Money) cusp, Leo needs
to develop some of Virgo’s traits of analysis, discrimination and purity when
it comes to money matters. They must learn to be more careful with the details
of finance (or to hire people to do this for them). They have to be more
cost-conscious in their spending habits. Generally, they need to manage their
money better. Leos tend to chafe under financial constraints, yet these
constrains can help Leos to reach their highest financial potential.
Leos like it when their friends and family know that they can depend on them
for financial support. They do not mind – even enjoy – lending money, but they
are careful that they are not taken advantage of. From their “regal throne”
Leos like to bestow gifts upon their family and friends and then enjoy the good
feelings these gifts bring to everybody. Leos love financial speculations and –
when the celestial influences are right – are often lucky.
Career and Public Image
Leos like to be received as
wealthy, for in today’s world wealth often equals power. When they attain
wealth they love having a large house with lots of land and animals.
At their jobs Leos excel in position of authority and power. They are good at
making decisions – on a grand level – but they prefer to leave the details to
others. Leos are well respected by their colleagues and subordinates, mainly
because they have a knack for understanding and relating to those around them.
Leos usually strive for the top positions even if they have to start at the
bottom and work hard to get there. As might be expected of such a charismatic
Sign, Leos are always trying to improve their work situation. They do so in
order to have a better chance of advancing to the top.
On the other hand, Leos do not like to be bossed around or told what to do.
Perhaps this is why they aspire so for the top – where they can be
decision-makers and need not take orders from others.
Leos never doubt their success and focus all their attention and efforts on
achieving it. Another great Leo characteristics is that – just like good
monarchs – they do not attempt to abuse the power or success they achieve. If
they do so this is not willful or intentional. Usually they like to share their
wealth and try to make everyone around them join in their success.
Leos are – and like to be perceived as – hard-working well-established
individuals. It is definitely true that they are capable of hard work and often
manage great things. But do not forget that, deep down inside, Leos really are
fun-lovers.
