The Story of Leo the Lion
The constellation of Leo
The story of the constellation of Leo the Lion originates from the Greek myth of Heracles and his 12 trials.
Heracles’ first trial was to kill the Nemean Lion, a ferocious beast that terrorized the villages and citizens of Peloponnese.
Heracles went hunting for the beast, but quickly found it would be difficult to kill. It had skin like armor that could not be penetrated by arrows.
Finally, he decided to wrestle with the Lion, eventually choking it to death in a great battle. He removed the lion’s pelt, cutting the skin with its own claws, and returned with it to prove his victory.
Legend says the Lion was cast into the stars, forever commemorating the fierce battle that Heracles won with sheer strength and courage.

The Elements

Fire is thought to be the most fundamental of the four elements.

The Qualities of Leo
The signs of the Zodiac are also divided into Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Signs that share a Quality are thought to be uncomplimentary.
The Quality determines the basis for an individual’s disposition.
Those with a certain Quality will tend to have commanding characteristics that are deep-rooted and change little throughout their lifetime.
Each Quality views the world uniquely and reacts to situations in their own way. This means that their reasoning and actions may be contradictory to the other Qualities.
The Quality of Leo is “Fixed”
The Fixed Quality is known to be solid and steady. Those with this Quality are likely to be dedicated, self-confident and full of ambition.
On the flip side, Fixed signs can be seen as inflexible, self-absorbed and closed off to new ideas or ways of doing things.
Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius are also fixed signs and are therefore less likely to be compatible with Leo.

Leo Careers
What is Leo good at?
Leo has the drive and determination to be successful in any career field they choose. However, Leos have a need to be in control and find it difficult to take orders from others.

Great careers for Leonians would be: surgeon, lead actor, motivational speaker, sales leader, jeweler, CEO or brand spokesperson.
