Organization is essential of Leos, who need control in their lives. With the slightest encouragement, their organizational ability will spill over into the disordered lives of others. The risk lies in their taking over because they hate to see ability wasted. Their worst fault is in assuming they always know what is best. Leos may also be extremely opinionated. By learning to have a flexible mind and respect for others opinions, Leos can fully become those characteristics they are known for: warm, generous and desiring to understand others.

A powerfully creative urge is present in every Leo and must be expressed; otherwise a very great deal of potential will be wasted. This does not mean all Leos are painters, actors or sculptors; creation can take place in the kitchen, at the sewing machine, in the garden or at the workbench. The innate Leo enthusiasm is expressed in other areas of life, too; the Sun, ruling this sign, gives Leos and infectious vitality. They must live life to the fullest and like to see others doing so as well. Their inner sun, not only illuminates their own lives and activities, but also lights up the lives of others, or perhaps gives them energy. Leo days should be full, with not a moment wasted, since lack of fulfillment, professionally or personally, can totally destroy them and cloud their personalities.
