Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, which the Sun transits during the second month of summer – i.e., the height of the summer season – from about July 23rd to about August 22nd. The symbol for Leo is The Lion; its polarity is positive; its element is fire; its quality is fixed; its cosmic ruler is the Sun; and on the human anatomy Leo rules the heart...

Like the Sun, the center of the solar system, people born under the sign Leo belong at the center of their world, radiating the energy of fire and exerting the magnetism of fixity. Leos – who include not only Sun-sign Leos, but all in whose horoscopes the sign is emphasized – do not need to sally forth to assert their powerful individuality; their business is simply to be, and, by their very existence, to influence the lives of those around them...

There is a natural assumption of authority in the Leo nature that is different from the driving ambition of Capricorn. While Capricorn seeks to climb to a position of power, Leo already possesses that power by divine right. Like the infant who rules the household from his crib; like the king surrounded by his loyal subjects; or like the creative artist in his studio, proud and lordly Leo is in total control of his universe...

Although they seem self-contained, Leos actually need other people to give to, and they need to feel that their gifts are appreciated. Generous and noble of spirit, they are also victims of pride, and they can become isolated from the love and support they need because they are too proud to ask for it. If in their insecurity they imagine that their power is of their own making, they can fall into the trap of tyranny and take some spectacular falls...

Hence, Leo can be the most charming, or the most obnoxious of all the signs, depending upon early education and other factors in the horoscope, There is no use telling a Leo child that the world does not revolve around him. He knows otherwise, and parents must find ways to curb the annoying Leo egocentricity without nipping the joyous Leo creativity in the bud...

Leo children love to please and perform; but if the focus is temporarily away from them, they may stage loud dramatic scenes in order to regain center stage. In dealing with the sensitive young Leonine ego, the use of parental authority will probably just encourage resistance. But genuine affection and an appeal to their “better nature” works wonders...

For Leo is, or should be, a sign of joy: innocent, fun-loving, eternally childlike, living in the moment, discovering the infinite richness of His creation – the true child of God – like Adam in the Garden of Eden before the fall. (In modern psychology Leo corresponds to the pleasure principle.)

The Leonine dramatic sense and tendency to dominate – while great assets on the stage – can create problems in an intimate relationship. The need to give can also be a need to control the person to whom one is giving, and the very intensity of Leo’s giving can be hard to take, causing an affair to “burn out” before its time. On the other hand, an evolved Leo person who is conscious of his/her own egoistic tendencies can be a wonderful mate: generous, imaginative, witty, loyal, romantic, and totally committed to giving their partner the best of everything...

Leo exhibitionism may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but those who can respond to it will be royally entertained. Although Leo rules children, it is not a particularly fertile sign, and many Leos will produce no offspring, preferring to remain the child themselves – or to produce works of art (which won’t compete with them for attention) instead of children.

Their most compatible signs are: Aries, Libra, Gemini and Sagittarius; Cancer, Capricorn, Virgo and Pisces are neutral; and Taurus and Scorpio are likely to be difficult. With another Leo there will be competition for attention and control. With Aquarius, Leo’s polar opposite and complementary sign, there will be both attraction and tension, the outcome depending, as with all combinations, on how the two horoscopes interact as a whole, and not on the compatibility of the Sun-signs alone...

With their faith in their own abilities, willpower, and flair for attracting attention, Leos are born leaders and almost always succeed, sometimes even in the absence of any real talent or particular expenditure of effort on their part. Their cosmic ruler is a star, and Leos are particularly apt to shine in the entertainment world, the theatre, the arts, the world of fashion and the arena of politics. Like leaven, they will naturally rise to the top of any field...

The colors of Leo are yellow, red and gold; its birthstones are the sardonyx and the topaz, and its day of the week is Sunday, which is ruled by the Sun...

The following are some prominent African-Americans born under the sign Leo:

James Baldwin, Halle Berry, Tempest Bledsoe, Barry Bonds, Ron Brown, Wilt Chamberlain, Coolio, Janet DuBois, Patrick Ewing, Vivica Fox, Marcus Garvey, William Gray, Alex Haley, Isaac Hayes, Geoffrey Holder, Whitney Houston, Iman, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Vernon Jordan, Alan Keyes, Aminata Moseka (the former Abbey Lincoln), Sen. Barack Obama, Walter Payton, Melvin Van Peebles, David Robinson, Al Roker, Carl Rowan, Deion Sanders, Wesley Snipes, Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Doug Williams...

Leo often makes the best friend for Pisces, because the Leo’s warm heart and need for adulation can accept wholeheartedly the devotion and admiration that Pisces is so ready to give...

On the other hand Virgo is usually an anathema to Leo, with their urge to criticize everything and everyone. Virgo does not suit Leos’ sense of magnanimity, which is one of their finest characteristics...

Leos very often resemble the symbol for their sign, The Lion. Their hair is usually noticeably thick and attractively unruly, just like the lion's mane...

The lordly Leo's innate courage and progressiveness will have him leading the way to the Web. Leo will look for cultural and artistic websites. This sign rules the theater, and Leos love good, first-rate entertainment...and will want the very best in theater arrangements. The Lion will look to the Internet for theater seating and, knowing what is best, will get those tickets via the Web. Then, off again into cyberspace, shopping for tasteful, elegant clothing in which to make that grand entrance...

The vast world of entertainment is out there waiting to be had, and Leo knows this. Thus, the fearless king is constantly in pursuit of something new and better than what came before. Leo loves to play and turn life into a game. The Internet makes this possible...

The only thing about the Web that bothers Leo is that his physical presence just doesn't stand out in the anonymity of cyberspace, and instant gratification is not as readily available as it often is in real life. Leo is invisible - in the old meaning of the word - while in the system. Being ignored and overlooked does not sit well with this royal sign...

Leo loves keeping in touch with friends using portals for e-mail chats. If Leo is single, this innately romantic sign will seek out romantic websites that might assist in finding a consort. Here are some sites the Lion will appreciate:

Aqil, i saw myself in most of the description listed here! I really did! HOwever, as a child I didn't seek or want attention but it was granted anyway. In fact, i don't neccesarily want attention, but yes to be acknowledged for my contributions. Three are times, when i just want to blend into the background but as you mentioned, others look upon us for leadership.

and Yes, I look really good in bold yellow, gold and red! However, i thought my birthstone was the peridot?

Other Leo entertainer you left out: Whitney Houstan (what drama, huh?) and Lawrence Fishburne, also Angela Bassett.

I do have artistic talents that are just now being cultivated.

I enjoyed reading this, what is your source?

My birthday is actually on Aug 22, how does the cusp effect my personality?

"Other Leo entertainers you left out: Whitney Houston (what drama, huh?) and Lawrence Fishburne, also Angela Bassett."

Whitney Houston is on the list...I'll add Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburne. Thank you for the information.

"I enjoyed reading this, what is your source?

Please refer to the booklist in this forum.

My birthday is actually on Aug 22...how does the cusp effect my personality?You were born on the cusp of the fire sign Leo and the earth sign Virgo, Thandiwe, and this means that there will be a definite mixture of tendencies in your nature. Inevitably, you will have both positive and negative astrological influences, for astrology designates the air and fire signs as positive, and the earth and water signs as negative. The positive person tends to be more aggressive, impatient, and outer-directed; while the negative person tends to be more passive, patient, and inner-directed...

The combination of Leo and Virgo, however, can have the unfortunate result of producing an extremely vain individual who finds petty fault with everything others do. On the other hand, the well-balanced person instead combines unique analytical ability with impressive power of expression, and influences people without alienating them...

Leo is ruled by the Sun, and Virgo is ruled by Mercury; thus you are likely to find your best means of self-expression through communications. Acting, teaching, journalism, advertising, counseling - there are so many ways in which the basic need to communicate can be expressed that you are certain to find one exactly suited to your needs...

The element of Leo is fixed fire; that of Virgo mutable earth. In this fortunate combination Leo's fire will provide inspiration, enthusiasm, and vitality; Virgo's earth puts those qualities to practical use through the exercise of the intellect. Not only that, but the fixed quality of Leo also confers the ability to use resources successfully; the mutability of Virgo softens the resistance to change that Leo can sometimes experience, providing understanding and diplomacy...

Thus you may have to overcome a tendency toward petty faultfinding; but you can do that easily if you exercise the analytical ability, the powerful expressiveness, the ability to communicate, and the vitality and enthusiasm that is inherent in this combination...

Peace.

I can see alot of accuracies in this also. However, I have some more questions, if you don't mind.

The positive person tends to be more aggressive, impatient, and outer-directed. this is definitely me, these words seemingly are negative. Where does the positiveness come with this combination of being aggressive,impatient, and outer-directed (please explain this further). Those are all the things that people take as being problematic.

------------
On the other hand, the well-balanced person instead combines unique analytical ability with impressive power of expression, and influences people without alienating them...

I TRY TO LOOK FOR THE MORE POSITIVE THINGS IN PEOPLE, HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT OTHERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THIS IN ME. YOU SAY THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE VAIN, BUT IT IS OFTEN OTHERS WHO PLACE THAT UPON US.

Check this, my younger sister use to always say, "you think you are always right". My reply, "no you think, I think, I'm always right". In most of those cases, I was right but I'm not the "I told you so" person. Why is it the others place us in leadership position and then find fault with the way we do things. The same things like the aspects you listed "aggressive, impatient, and outer-directed" are the same things that turn people off.

I do find myself to better express myself through poetry. I'm an currently working in education, and I would make a hell of a promoter and ad writer. I do these things for free for friends and associates. Being the great talker, I do my best work by word-of-mouth. NOw the acting area, I believe I would come off stiff as Whitney movies. :)

I have found all this very interesting, thanks for taking the time.

Peace and Love,

Thandiwe

Peace and Love Aqil,

How about a forecast?! Pleeeez?

Thank you for your very interesting comments. Re: a forecast...I would need your date, time and place of birth. (E-mail me: aqil2u@hotmail.com). :star:

Upon casual orientation we see that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Gemini, and your time of birth gives you Mercury-ruled Virgo rising ...

You certainly are an intellectual lioness!...proud and different (something you enjoy being!). With the Moon in Gemini you are an incessant talker!...and with Virgo rising...well, it is absolutely necessary for you to express yourself, and you do this quite well...

E-mail your complete mailing address...I'll forward your chart upon completion...give me about a week...:spinstar:

This summed me up pretty good. The incessant talker (that's a Gemini thing - interesting) , being "different", all that. LOL! and Yes I enjoy it that way!

Much, much appreciation. I'll send the information to you.

awaiting!!!

Thanks again Aqil. I'll be tracking the mailman today! :D

anxiously awaiting!!! still hasn't arrived. perhaps in time for my birthday!

Much appreciated again, Aqil!

I got it Aqil. Received it in the mail on Saturday. I didn't get a chance to absorb it, so I'll be doing a second reading today!

Thanks, will send my "appreciation" at the end of this week.

BTW, there's a great place to order ink cartridges online, they offer 3 for the price of 1.

Peace and Love Aqil,

I am finding quite abit about the report (actually 3 reports) you sent me. :) Some of the wording is above my understanding. However, I do have another astrology book. I also used that along with your report. I have had my report done before. However, the Gemini Moon is something new to me. I'm looking at the other influences in my chart. Many of them I see and agree with . Many I do not feel is myself. But I do understand the influences that may cultivate or may not show themselves.

I find this to be very interesting to me - I am prone to slander. LOL! This is so true. I've also read before that I will require wealth through marriage and that I will most likely married an older man or a widower.

Also, my interest is occult and things of the spiritual nature type.

How befitting for me to be reading this again, on my birthday! I guess, I'm going through that reflection period we often do when another year comes and goes.

thank you very much again. you'll should be getting a envelope for me sometime soon. so help offset the cost of printing. and you did alot of printing. LOL!

Peace and Love Aqil! Long time no see or hear from. Again, i 'd like to thank you for my chart reading and forecast.

As you may know, i've been trying to reach you. I need a name and address to send the check.

email me at thandi@everythingblack.com or a private message.

and Destee hit me with a bomb the other day. She gave a a pleasant surprise. (hehehe)

Keep looking to the stars...

Happy Birthday Leos!

today marks the beginning of Leo, ends on my day!

As-Salaam Alaikum Aqil,

My bad, I didn't see this when I posted on the other thread about where's the Leo Profile...thanks for this....


Salaamz

Wa-Alaikum-Salaam, sister. And you're quite welcome.

redlady:

I have recreated the Heavens for the exact time of your birth, and your natal chart shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Taurus, and your time of birth gives you Scorpio rising. In other words, you are a Leo with a Taurus personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Scorpio...

Your Heavenly signature (Sun, Moon and rising sign) indicates that you are the epitome of stubbornness, because Leo, Taurus and Scorpio are called "fixed" (meaning stubborn) signs...

The Sun was the only celestial body in a fire sign at the time of your birth. Six of the ten celestial bodies were in the earth and water signs, and a water sign (Scorpio) rises in your chart. This emphasis tempers your fiery Leo nature, causing you to be more of a down-to-earth person...

Eight of the ten celestial bodies were above the horizon at the time of your birth. This indicates that you are a goal-oriented person, and that you are very objective in your thinking...

You were born under the sign of generosity and nobility of feeling. The sign Leo represents man’s attempt at self-expression; the unfolding of the internal power-principle. Leo is a fixed fire sign that is ruled by the Sun. Since it is the Sun’s function to bestow upon planet Earth heat, light and life, it is the benefactor of every living creature. In our solar system the Sun is the center around which all the planets rotate. Leos then, are generous. You must have the spotlight, and, once in it, you must shine. You enjoy being the center of attention.

You are frank, openhearted, generous and philanthropic, with a marked dramatic flair. There is a basic conflict in your nature – caused by the static quality of a fixed sign combined with the highly active fire element. You hate being bogged down in details; you prefer doing things in a big way. Leo rules the heart and affections, thus you are a sincere, affectionate mate. You thrive on it, and you are sincere in your desire to bring happiness into your loved one’s life.

You are a natural leader who feels instinctively that your place in life is one of authority and organization. You are rarely small or mean in your desire to lead and rule, but there is a chance that your great sense of pride might seem overbearing or dominating to others. You are sincere, ardent, and highly appreciative of affection freely given – and you generously return it.

With your active, philosophical mind and warm disposition, you have many friends who admire your independent, determined and ambitious nature. You have a strong, forceful personality and you are quick to anger. Like Aries and Sagittarius (the other fire signs), however, you are equally as quick to forgive. You tend to carry yourself with a kind of regal bearing, and you are powerful and forthright in your expression.

You like the fact that your kind of physical magnetism does not go unnoticed. You also love drama (Leo is the sign of the theatre), a high position in life, and children. Females born under this sign tend to dominate their marriages. They are like ferocious lionesses in defending their children. One may step on the toes of a Leo mother, but never on the toes of her children!

Your active mind, candid nature, generosity and sincerity are an enormous help up the ladder of success. You express an impressive urge for authority, and when Leos are controlled and informed, there are no others so powerful, useful and capable of giving to their fellow man.

The Sun is the cosmic ruler of Leo, and the key phrase for this sign is “I will.”

The Moon, ruler of the personality, was in the fixed earth sign Taurus at the time of your birth. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, meaning its influences are most powerful in this, the earthiest of the earth signs. In addition, this lunar position brings out the reflective and steady side of the Moon, thereby de-emphasizing its changeable side...

With the Moon in Taurus you want the best of everything, and you rarely settle for less. Centered on the material plane, your emotions are attracted to material comforts and possessions. You will stick to your ideals through thick and thin. You’re blindly faithful, sentimental, affectionate, and basically timid. You may lack originality, so try not to be too fixed in your ways.

Your reactions to sense impressions are slow but strong. You have an accurate memory. You will ponder over an action for a long time, using premises, ethics and ideas, and assimilate and act upon information in a slow and steady manner. It is difficult for you to change your mind, and you resent any interference once you have reached a decision. You’re a determined person, with well-developed intuitive powers and profoundly sound judgment.

You want to excel in whatever you do, but also in friendships. Your sense of touch and taste is highly developed, and you probably possess a pleasant speaking and/or singing voice (Taurus rules the throat). You’re fond of music, art, dancing, and all things that make life more pleasurable, thus a great deal of time is expended in gratifying your physical appetites.

You only welcome those ideas that are compatible with your stable temperament. You may be narrow-minded, and you are conservative and conventional. You must guard against pride, laziness, jealousy, and too much stubbornness. Once you set your course, you forge ahead slowly but unswervingly. There is an ancient eastern aphorism that you adhere to most faithfully when necessary:

“Slowness comes from God; haste comes from the devil.”

You seldom succeed in leaving the family tradition or training and ideals that were impressed upon you by your mother, with whom you’re closely (though not necessarily happily) linked. And you have loyal and lasting relationships in friendship, love and marriage...

This position of the Moon also confers exceptional gardening ability. In astrological parlance the Moon in Taurus is called the “green-thumb Moon,” because people with this lunar position have a natural affinity for plants, gardens, and all things that grow...

Venus is the planetary ruler of the sign Taurus, and the key phrase for this sign is “I have.”

redlady:

The Ascendant (rising sign) in the horoscope (The Creator’s plan for human development) is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor which complements the psychological information given by the combined positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality (the Sun) and the personality (the Moon).

At the time of your birth the fixed water sign Scorpio was ascending on the eastern horizon. By nature, inclination and temperament, you are an extremist. Whatever you attempt, it is usually done with the full force of your being. Your will is so strong that you fight to the end, regardless of the outcome. Scorpio rising is largely misunderstood by almost every standard. There may be other planetary influences in your horoscope that offset what is often regarded as your Scorpio harshness, bitter criticism, and acid sarcasm...

You are a born executive, and you like very much to operate behind the scenes. It helps to realize that Scorpio is the sign of sex, death and regeneration, and that these aspects of life occupy an important area of your existence...

You share a kind of iconoclasm with Aquarius, though the Aquarian is not the extremist you are. There’s an apparently unquenchable thirst in you for finding out what makes things tick – then reassembling them to make them work better. You do this with objects, people, and even institutions if given half the chance. Very little, if anything, escapes the penetrating power of your observation. If something doesn’t meet with your approval, you will tear down any facade, any theory, and any belief to get at the truth. This makes you a natural detective...

In science and medicine the intensity and keenness of your curiosity can bring you rich rewards, yet there is an Aries-like kind of martyrdom – or “self-destruct button” – in the mind of almost everyone with strong Scorpio influences. Extremism again. You have strong likes and dislikes. You love and hate with a white-hot fire, yet you are able to keep things to yourself until some plan of action is mapped out. Scorpio is exceptionally resourceful and self-reliant, and frequently malicious. You have a fertile mind and imagination.

Still...there are several types within the Scorpio nature, and it is difficult to know in advance just how anger will be handled. The undeveloped type, symbolized by the deadly, stinging scorpion, is capable of almost any outrage. The intermediate type is symbolized by the wily serpent, representing increased wisdom. The highly developed type is characterized by the high-soaring eagle, aspiring to the greatest possible heights. Here you will find scientists, orators, intensely devout spiritual leaders, and fiery debaters...

Scorpio rising is always ambitious and usually manages to gain some sort of high office or executive position. You may have been close to poverty, a condition that may have prevailed in the early part of your existence. But during the second half of your life there is more material prosperity and good fortune than you would have otherwise believed...

Scorpio rising also indicates that there will be excellent opportunities to travel and make money in other areas, e.g., through your spouse, legal dealings, and/or relatives by marriage. You are something of a lone wolf, and you probably have many secret love affairs. More than one marriage is indicated for those with Scorpio rising. The first could result in the premature loss of a marriage partner through illness or accident.

Eventually, despite a great series of difficulties and setbacks, you will achieve the success, good position, and probably the honors that you have so long desired...

LOL, As a Leo, you described me pretty well. The only thing is I don't crave attention, I just like to be acknowledged.

Aquil, is it possible to get a reading if I give my information?

Aqil, i sent you my information, i would like a forecast,reading whatever is available thanks you are incredible I am also a LEO

Aquil, if i give you my information, can you please give me a forecast, it is well needed in my life, thanks

I need your place of birth also, EX...

Thanks, I sent it to you, is it true Cancers and Leos NEVER get along and a relationship between the two wouldn't last

Thanks EX...

Cancer is a water sign; Leo is a fire sign. Water and fire are incompatible elements. Water, of course, puts out fire, thus Cancer deplores the Leo need for constant acclaim, and is frightened by the Leo tendency to excesses...Invariably, with Leo – who is also highly sexed – the relationship would be fiery and brief, ending explosively...

oh ok because i have been involved with 2 Cancers my son's fatherand my most recent man, it seems like it never works. We always argue
and never can agree on certain things, well......most issues

Aqil, i saw myself in most of the description listed here! I really did! HOwever, as a child I didn't seek or want attention but it was granted anyway. In fact, i don't neccesarily want attention, but yes to be acknowledged for my contributions. Three are times, when i just want to blend into the background but as you mentioned, others look upon us for leadership.

and Yes, I look really good in bold yellow, gold and red! However, i thought my birthstone was the peridot?

Other Leo entertainer you left out: Whitney Houstan (what drama, huh?) and Lawrence Fishburne, also Angela Bassett.

I do have artistic talents that are just now being cultivated.

I enjoyed reading this, what is your source?


Most Leos tend to become remembered by their first names (or just one name)... Lucy, Hitchcock, Whitney, J-Lo, Halle (Catwoman), Madonna... it's like our desire to become our own canvas makes us a "brand name".

Hiáli (28º Leo)

Thanks, I sent it to you, is it true Cancers and Leos NEVER get along and a relationship between the two wouldn't last


But, I think it's a lot deeper than just your sun sign compatability. There are other forces at work... other planets... angles... locations... etcetera. Moreover, there is "free will".

Also, some folks may have checked their negative traits early on in life and have exalted themselves. Others may not have.

As an astrologer for 17 years, I still don't think it is that simple... meaning, I don't think that if someone says you are a Cancer that means you CAN'T get along. It's more complex than that.


My 2 cents.. :glasses:

Peace dadachango, and welcome to the forum. I consider your input a valued asset...

:Dada, your 2 cents is very helpful, really in my opinion, it just seems like Cancers and I DON'T mix Very Well
Aqil,what happened brotha? did we forget or should i ask DADA lol :read: :laugh:

Haven't had the time, EX...and I'm quite sure that - if it is your decision - Bro. dadachango would be more than happy to accommodate you...

Peace data, and welcome to the forum. I consider your input a valued asset...


Thanks for the welcome. Just been reading for a while without posting. Nice to see an astrology forum going. :geek:

DadaChango (not "datachange"... though it sounds like an interesting screen name all its own)

:Dada, your 2 cents is very helpful, really in my opinion, it just seems like Cancers and I DON'T mix Very Well
Aqil,what happened brotha? did we forget or should i ask DADA lol :read: :laugh:

Sorry to hear that you don't. I've never been a fan of sun-sign astrology as one's sun sign is only 5% of one's identity... besides, as I said before, free will separates the evolved folks from the unevolved ones. Maybe you've met some insecure crabs...lol

Really......interesting

EXpressurself:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Aries, and your time of birth gives you Capricorn rising. In other words, you are a Leo with an Aries personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Capricorn...

You were born under the sign of generosity and nobility of feeling. The sign Leo represents man’s attempt at self-expression; the unfolding of the internal power-principle. Leo is a fixed fire sign that is ruled by the Sun. Since it is the Sun’s function to bestow upon planet Earth heat, light and life, it is the benefactor of every living creature.

The Sun is the cosmic ruler of Leo, and the key phrase for this sign is “I will.”

The Moon was in the cardinal fire sign Aries at the time of your birth, thus you respond to life as if it were an adventure, and you are open to new ideas. You relate to experience as a means for self-realization. You have much natural and sincere enthusiasm, but you must constantly and consciously work to develop patience...

You flare up quickly, but you soon forget the cause of your outburst...

You often assert your “me first” tendencies; your quick (albeit changeable) mind is brilliant and acute. Your temper is uneven, i.e., quick and hot, and you are susceptible to nervousness and migraine headaches.

Your mental impressions and reactions are very quick. You trust your sense perceptions, and you are inclined to act immediately without reflection. You jump into action from quick feelings rather than from reason. You are not methodical; you resent authority, and you do not like advice.

Your independent nature can make you courageous to the point of foolhardiness. When you are interested, you are very warm; when you are not inwardly stirred, you are impersonal. You feel with your ego...

You seem to be emotionally detached from the people around you. Your feelings are acute and sharp, and you often use them as a conscious instrument for your own benefit. You hide a sense of insecurity behind an aggressive exterior; you should develop the ability to ask for help when you need it.

You are ambitious and pioneering; you live and gain by fits and starts. You dislike detail and you find discipline hard to accept. You need to cultivate perseverance. Your senses are well developed, especially your sight, and others are impressed by your dynamic, self-reliant attitude.

You excel in positions where quick decisions are vital. You are changeable in your enthusiasm; you have great originality, inventiveness and restlessness, but you do not have much persistence. You take the initiative in many activities, and you show excessive confidence as well as insufficient forethought. You try to dominate others emotionally, and you usually gain authority because you are a better leader than follower.

Mars is the planetary ruler of Aries, and the key phrase for this sign is “I am.”

The Ascendant (or rising sign) in a horoscope (the Creator’s plan for human development) is utilized primordially as a third and very important factor that complements the psychological information given by the combined positions of the Sun and Moon. Figuratively speaking, the Ascendant is the geometrical base that encloses the human triangle where its sides are represented by the individuality (the Sun) and the personality (The Moon).

At the time of your birth the cardinal earth sign Capricorn was ascending on the eastern horizon. The sign Capricorn denotes an existence in which the temperament is very important. You will give an image of ambition, persistence, willpower, consistency, and perseverance. You were born with the tendency to seek material, social, and perhaps even political power. Much of your destiny, however, will be conditioned by the development of your moral principles, and by the ability to organize, direct, and overcome obstacles.

Capricorn rising indicates a life full of difficulties which force you to exert all your resources in order to triumph. Temperamentally you will appear as firm, resolute, and anxious to obtain success. Capricorns are usually given positions of responsibility as their age increases. Because of your tact and prudence, you will be favored with the goodwill of important people. You are ambitious, rational, persistent, and inclined toward orthodoxy. Because of your egocentric, rational mind you are not inclined toward subjective and sentimental issues. And you are skeptical by nature.

You may be criticized because of your rather selfish manners. You are very economical in your daily activities, and if you don't exercise some control over this trait, you could appear as rather mean. Your profound sense of responsibility could be exaggerated to the extreme of authoritarianism. You should be in environments where you can work within routine patterns. Time has an important place in your life; you do things in chronological order. Professionally your best choices are: civil service, mathematics, real estate, archeology, or politics. The key word for your professional orientation is RESPONSIBILITY.

You are cautious, responsible and practical, and because you are able to work hard, you will bear obstacles and frustrations with patience. Although you give the impression of weakness, there is an extremely strong psychological core that can confront any crisis. You will proceed with prudence in your love life and all other activities. You will seriously consider all ramifications of marriage, especially the aspect of your personal independence, and you will not marry until you are totally sure of your choice. After marriage, however, there is a tendency to conduct a quiet, peaceful life.

In matters pertaining to your health, the sign Capricorn stresses the bone structure. In childhood you had the tendency to falls and accidents involving the bones, which, in fact, received most of the impact. As the years go by, however, your nervous system and osteal structure become much stronger.

The key phrase for the sign Capricorn is “I use.”

Upon casual orientation we see that your natal Sun in Leo makes a favorable aspect to your natal Moon in Aries. The Sun was trining (120° aspect) the Moon at the time of your birth...here is its delineation:

The trine between the Sun and the Moon in your horoscope indicates that there is harmonious balance between your will, habits and emotions. You react naturally to stimuli, i.e., in such a way that your ego can continue to develop properly. There is a good balance between the lessons you have learned from your past experiences and your ability to use these lessons to realize your destiny.

Your relationship with your parents was generally favorable to your continued growth. They may have inspired you to assert your own individuality so that you could become your own person rather than a reflection of their desires. You should enjoy a pleasant relationship with them and with other members of your family throughout your life.

You have the opportunity to rise to prominence if you want to. There is a "luck" factor in your favor, but you also have the temperament to feel completely at ease in positions of authority. You always exercise your will with an understanding of how people will react to it.

Persuasive, but not offensive, you have a knack for getting people to do what you want without appearing domineering. Your refined nature is a decided asset if you choose to pursue a professional career.

You underestimate your potential to climb to the top in any endeavor you find attractive. You should choose a field that has possibilities for growth. Land development, real estate, and domestic enterprises in general are some of the areas in which you could build a very rewarding future. Working with the public is advised, because you have the calm disposition to cope with any situation that could develop.

Your greatest problem (if it can be called that) is your tendency to be apathetic when you could deliberately assert yourself. You have an abundance of creative talent that can be usefully applied in situations that involve people in close relationships. Young people and children are comfortable with you and are on their best behavior because they want to please you. They respond to your attitude of protective caring for them, and they will never forget your contact with them.

Your honesty and sincerity makes you attractive to both genders. You are warm and friendly toward casual acquaintances as well as close friends, and wherever you go you leave a lasting impression...

Your natal Sun in Leo makes an unfavorable aspect to your natal Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn is your life ruler (so-called because it rules Capricorn, your rising sign), and the Sun was squaring (90° aspect) Saturn at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

Because of this unfavorable aspect between the Sun and Saturn, you’ve had to resolve many conflicts about your self-worth during your early years, and even into adulthood. You’re naturally defensive, and you fear rejection by people you think of as superior. Success won’t come easily, because you underestimate your potentials and you don’t assert yourself when you should. You must be willing to suffer the pain of rejection and the frustration of not reaching your goals. From these experiences you will learn, and your judgment will be sharpened so that you can make decisive plans for success. In other words, you just may have to fail in order to succeed.

Your present lack of confidence can turn into self-assurance later on. And this applies to your personal relationships as well. In your early years you tended to assume that others would not welcome your company, perhaps because you weren’t as aggressive and compulsive as they were. But then you realized that not everyone admires people who come on strong, and that you could relate to many people after all. You’ll undoubtedly choose a mate who can accept you as you are. This mate will recognize that your potential is much greater than you know, and will strongly believe in you.

Your qualifications show that you are best suited to make achievements in teaching, philosophy, industrial management, the ecology, or any occupation that requires methodical application of knowledge and experience. You must expect to start at the bottom in your chosen field, and plan your rise to prominence one step at a time. You must also learn to love yourself so that you can successfully meet competition as you continue to grow.

You must try to maintain a positive outlook on life. By talking to those you admire, you’ll discover that they too have apprehensions and fears – and that you are not alone...

:crying: :crying: WOW AQIL, so TRUE THANKS

You're quite welcome, EXpressurself. There is another aspect in your horoscope worth mentioning. The Sun was opposing the planet Jupiter at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The Sun in opposition (180° aspect) to Jupiter shows that you are energetic, enthusiastic, and well informed in using your creative talents. You know how to put your best foot forward in achieving your ambitions, but you take great chances when you should plan carefully. You assume that people will make way for you as you climb to your goals; when they challenge you instead, you can't help but be disappointed. You make glowing promises, but you are irresponsible and negligent about keeping them. Your associates call you a fair-weather friend who can't be found when the going gets tough.

You know how to turn on the charm to gain the approval of those you deal with in your daily affairs. It may be, however, that you are not totally honest with yourself and others, for you bend the truth to gain your objectives. You are inclined to make a grand display, playing the successful role, but in fact you are constantly fearful of the competition that may one day topple you from your throne. You need to become totally aware of reality in your striving so that you only take on exactly what you can cope with. Stop playing the confidence game with those around you. They know you better than to fall for it. You cannot afford to lose precious allies for the momentary pleasure of victory.

You are enormously talented and creative. These qualities should be directed to such fields as education, the media, business management, travel, or public relations. You must have self-control in order to obtain the best results in any of these endeavors, as well as a willingness to accept the full responsibility of your position. You must know your limits and delegate others to perform the tasks that go beyond those limits. You are ambitious for recognition, but as you climb to the heights of achievement, you should seek counsel. Try not to lose contact with those who may have made your success possible -they will support you if you remember them for their efforts.

In your romantic contacts you are demanding and expect to be given just about everything you ask for. Lacking continuity of feelings, you may indulge yourself for a long time before taking a partner. Even then, you will grant yourself privileges that you won't allow your partner. You need to be constantly on the move, and you enjoy traveling. New places mean new people and new distractions. You must be discreet at all times, or through unexpected developments you risk losing everything you have gained. It is hard for you to believe that such things could happen to you.

Slow down, for you have a lifetime to live. Pay attention to your diet and don’t overindulge in food or drink. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and with Jupiter in the 1st house of your horoscope, what you eat will tend to expand you, especially if it's the wrong type of food. With this aspect a vegetarian diet is highly recommended for optimum health. Plan to take vacations from your daily routine as often as possible, in order to restore yourself to the vigorous health that is necessary to sustain you in your ambitions…

"In your romantic contacts you are demanding and expect to be given just about everything you ask for"............. I can't help it Aqil,
what am I suppose to do? that is why NONE of my relationships last
:new: :new: :new: :huh: :huh:

"You must be discreet at all times, or through unexpected developments you risk losing everything you have gained. It is hard for you to believe that such things could happen to you.'.......AQIL WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

"You must be discreet at all times, or through unexpected developments you risk losing everything you have gained. It is hard for you to believe that such things could happen to you"...AQIL WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?That you should exercise caution and discretion in all your endeavors...

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:


AQIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


I SAID I AM 8-12-1974!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



THATS DECEMBER SWEETYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! :jumping:

Unless I HAVE A TWIN SISTER UR SUMTHING FROM ANOTHER PLANNET :laugh: :look:



lol..


maybe this is her :shades:





but serius its 8 december ... i mean thats on my birthplate :book:

In the West 8/12 is read August 12th...in the East it's read December 12th...(cultural misunderstanding!) :)

Pluto, the powerful planet of rebirth and regeneration, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, conjuncting your Ascendant. Here is its interpretation:

With Pluto conjuncting your Ascendant you have the power to determine the kind of world that can be constructed from its available resources. You know how difficult it is to function and develop under environmental conditions and economic pressures that frustrate you at every turn - but it is in your grasp to arouse the people to make public officials yield to their demands. You can play an important role in urging the public to eliminate the political parasites that are responsible for decaying social conditions and the deprecating human qualities that lead to them.

Because you speak and conduct yourself with authority, no one dares dismiss you as a troublesome critic. You are not easily aroused to taking action unless the situation is serious. If it is, you will use every trick you can devise to compel those responsible to take the necessary action to restore order. You will not be satisfied until a system is in place and working effectively.

You do not tolerate abuse in your personal affairs either. In general, you know what you want out of life and you are ready to make any investment in talent and effort in order to realize your goals. You defend those entrusted to your care, and the people you love know that you will protect their interests at all costs. You must guard against driving yourself (or others) to excess. Choose your adversaries with caution, or you could antagonize someone who would attempt to deal with you violently. (Pluto conjunct the Ascendant indicates that you tend to bring out the worst qualities in people.)

Those born with this powerful aspect in their horoscopes must continually regenerate the image they project to the world, especially re: the concerns and affairs of the house in your horoscope that has the sign Scorpio on its cusp (the 2nd house of money and material possessions). The major factor in determining whether the powers bestowed by this conjunction will be used for spiritual purposes or for evil ones is the overall evolutionary development as revealed by the underlying tenor of the horoscope...

Aqil, this is sooo nice, i can't believe how gifted and elite u are....i appreciate this breakdown,,, wonderful, much thanks brother....

You're quite welcome, SN...btw, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant (8/23/'78) is a Leo born on the cusp of Virgo. He and Sister Remby share the same birth date...

Bro. Will:

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your navity shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Scorpio, and your time of birth gives you Cancer rising. In other words, you are a Leo with a Scorpio personality who sees the world through the eyes of a Cancer. Here are the planetary delineations:

Brother Will
August 2, 1949
4:18 AM (CST)
Hearne, TX

Your natal Sun (your cosmic ruler) is 9 degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Your natal Moon (your life ruler) is 21 degrees Scorpio.
Your feelings are very intense, never superficial. You tend to be either very angry or very sad or completely and totally happy. Your moods are deep, extreme and not always completely understood by yourself or by those with whom you have to deal. Emotionally, you tend to prefer to live at the cutting edge of life, pushing your reactions to the ultimate extremes, even if the results are dangerous or upsetting. You are easily jealous and very suspicious...you require a great deal of emotional reassurance. A good detective, you are very curious about deep and mysterious things, especially human nature and motivations. Be careful not to be ruthless, tactless or too overly frank or you will meet with much resistance from others.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 20 degrees Cancer.
Very sensitive by nature, you prefer to be in your own familiar surroundings. Cautious and conservative, you make changes in your life only very slowly, if at all. You do not open up easily to strangers. Friendships are made for life... however, once given, your trust is forever. Your mother, your home as a child, and your early family life in general are very important to you. You are also very sentimental. When you feel self-confident, you are gentle, giving and protective of the needs of others. But when you feel insecure or threatened, you become overly sensitive to criticism, shy, withdrawn and moody. You have a strong need for security...in the sense that you are being loved, nourished and protected.

Mercury is 16 degrees Leo.
You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty...you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for your advice and counsel.

Venus is 8 degrees Virgo.
You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or causes. You have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided...learn to love yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high...you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You are highly critical of yourself and others and, at times, prefer to be alone rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you might relate...

Mars is 6 degrees Cancer.
Your moods are very important to your overall well-being. You are confident and self-assertive when you are feeling upbeat, and you are retiring, irritable and grumpy when you get depressed about anything. Very sensitive, you wear your heart on your sleeve. You are easily angered whenever you think someone has slighted you. It is best for you to show your anger immediately and let it all out, rather than to try to hold it in or to hold grudges for a long time. You're extremely loyal and defensive of your family, neighborhood, community and culture...

Jupiter is 25 degrees Capricorn.
You tend to feel that the only results that are worthwhile are the results that are concrete and demonstrable. You distrust abstract solutions and appreciate measurable achievements. An excellent organizer and planner, you are optimistic as well as practical and realistic about what can and what cannot happen. Very responsible, you consider it a personal weakness to be wrong about anything. This makes you appropriately cautious. You are very efficient but you tend to be cool and detached...

Saturn is 5 degrees Virgo.
Your life must be orderly and practical and full of known and familiar routines in order for you to feel comfortable with yourself. Be careful, however, not to let "order" become the be-all and end-all of your life, or you may become cold, crass and unfeeling. Doing useful, practical things boosts your self-esteem. Abstract concepts and reasoning seem frivolous and a waste of time to you. You are very critical of yourself (and others), indeed at times quite self-deprecating. Try to relax a bit and allow yourself the freedom to fail once in a while. However, you probably won't fail very often because you are such a perfectionist...

Uranus is 3 degrees Cancer.
For you and for your peers as well the demand to be free from entangling emotional bonds is of paramount importance. You have a unique and unfettered view of family life and will be attracted to experimenting with freeform styles of relationship commitments. This may lead to a rootless, unsettled lifestyle...

Neptune is 12 degrees Libra.
You and your entire generation idealize all of the various experimental approaches to relationships...including living together, the formation of communes and collectives and the whole concept of "open marriages." There is a stress on weakened commitments on an emotional and contractual level, but there are heightened expectations of the level of commitment and mutual support on the spiritual and metaphysical level...

Pluto is 15 degrees Leo.
For your entire generation this is a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole is being thoroughly re-examined. Major attempts will be made to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment...

The Moon's North Node is 19 degrees Aries.
You're at your most comfortable when involved in group activities outside of your immediate family circle. You delight in getting involved with others in neighborhood civic or political activities, especially if you can be a part of the leadership of the group. Your zeal and overabundant energy bring out your real creativity when you can work toward tangible results...things that will immediately benefit those around you. You have a real gift for getting the most out of charity drives and community benefits. Take time out between projects though, because you tire out easily and your effectiveness becomes greatly diminished when your energy is depleted. Also, don't even think of trying to get involved at a peripheral level...you need a total commitment to feel personally fulfilled. Let others bake the cookies and set up the chairs... you should be the one to tell everyone what to do and when to do it!

The Moon, your life ruler, was found influencing the 5th house at the time of your birth. This house has regency over your emotional nature. It relates to children, entertainment, public places, your social life and pleasurable activities. With the Moon influencing the 5th house your life will be one of very intense social activity, including the development of work in places of entertainment, such as the theatre and other environs where large crowds come together.

This influence of the Moon tends to make you somewhat extroverted, perhaps in spite of your own desires. Whatever the psychological implications of this may be, this lunar influence denotes tremendous change and fluctuation in matters closely connected to risky and speculative transactions, with much time and effort invested in acquiring money. From another point of view, this influence inclines your personality to be devoted to pleasure and the gain thereof. Your affections, unfortunately, aren’t altogether stable or profound, and there is much inconsistency and superfluous adventure in your love affairs.

Most of your energy will be devoted to obtaining success with the opposite sex. In fact, this will draw from you a lot of energy that is required for other activities. At times you may err in choosing as the object of your affections someone who doesn’t deserve your attention at all. The Moon’s influence in the 5th house may also refer to the breeding of a child who will become famous (or notorious), and then creating undue effort on your part to maintain (or contain) this reputation. Simultaneously, and despite your healthy hedonistic inclinations, you may find that children require a special attention from you, and that gradually your life will become very involved with the rearing of children.

In love you’re imaginative, resourceful and able, but perhaps a little morbid. Your sexual tastes are not uncommon, but a little peculiar. Situations that may bore another person could be a source of interest to you. There’s much independence in your affective relations and – whether or not to your benefit – you’ll create an independent path for love in your life, defying even the slower tendencies of the conventional environment. Be on the watch for intrigues in public places that you frequent, for they may cause you harm. Enemies could be made with females, and they are very dangerous from all angles.

You dislike counsel or advice in love matters. You’re fully capable of resolving any situation, especially if it applies to the more subjective side of your activities. As a person with a strong taste for pleasure, you don’t require much encouragement to start a deep relationship with another person...

Your natal Sun in Leo tenants the 1st house of the self and personality in your horoscope. This solar placement shows that you have a strong will, abundant vitality, and intense self-awareness. This is a powerful placement for the Sun, because it is accidentally exalted in the 1st house, which corresponds with the sign Aries, in which the Sun is exalted.

This solar placement carries with it great initiative and powers of leadership. You are not easily swayed by the opinions or desires of others; you manifest a strong determination to choose your own course in life. You have a clear view of what you want, and you are extremely individualistic. You have abundant energy and strong recuperative powers that help you overcome physical ailments and afflictions of every nature.

Upir energy makes you ambitious for success, and you will work hard and long to achieve personal distinction and esteem in the eyes of the world. It is a paramount necessity for you to feel that you are a person of importance and distinction.

This placement of the Sun in your horoscope also intensifies your Leo nature, in addition to making you extroverted, courageous and enthusiastic. The Sun in the 1st house reflects many tendencies of the Sun in Aries, which is another reason why you have a natural affinity for those born under this sign...

Upon casual orientation we see that Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, is afflicted in your horoscope, both by sign position and house placement. It is in Cancer, the sign of its fall, and occupies the 12th house of sorrow, suffering, and self-undoing...

Mars in Cancer indicates that you are intensely emotional. Moodiness and emotional frustrations lead to anger, which, if expressed openly, causes discord in domestic relations. If the anger is suppressed, it also results in psychological problems and is likely to cause ulcers and stomach upsets. There can be too much aggressiveness (Mars) in domestic relations (Cancer), which is a inappropriate area for so much forcefulness to be expressed...

Mars in the 12th house indicates desires and actions that are strongly influenced by the unconscious mind. Work and other activities will be carried out in secret or seclusion, and there can be a tendency to act in secret in order to avoid the open opposition of others...

You work and fight for the underdog, and you would make an excellent administrator in either a hospital or a prison. You tend to be secretive about your desires or purposes, and you may have secret sexual involvements. You may choose to work in a large institution where you can disguise or lose your personal identity...

This is a difficult house placement for Mars, because your energy feels limited. And with Mars in its fall by sign, you may often suppress your strong emotional reactions. You can be involed in secret plots; you can bear secret enmities; and you can have secret enemies...

There is also the danger of incarceration in prisons, hospitals, or mental institutions. You sometimes tend to buck the organization, and this can lead to sorrow, self-undoing and accidents. You need to be more honest and open about your own unconscious anger...

The planet Mars was conjuncting Uranus, the planet of eccentricity and change, at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The conjunction between Mars and Uranus in your horoscope shows that you are unrestrained and energetic in striving to achieve your goals. You establish your own rules, and you will not submit to another's restraints. As you work to get what you want out of life you are completely uninhibited...guided by the belief that you must be free to do whatever is necessary to get what you want.

There is never a dull moment when you are around because you seek excitement - and when there isn't any, you create it. However, this impulsiveness can cause you many problems. Society is stabilized by laws and rules of behavior, and people who abide by them are irritated by your rebellious nature. If you truly want to accomplish your objectives, you will have to learn to play by the rules.

You could easily become a champion for people who are too weak physically, or perhaps too timid to demand social change for themselves. You have the courage to instigate change by challenging powerful political figures and government officials. You may even threaten them in order to dramatize your point, using the public support you have gained. Once you have all the evidence to confirm an allegation of wrongdoing, you will not be stopped from whatever action is needed to make sure that justice prevails.

You have a powerful libido, and it cannot accept no for an answer. You will be refused however, mainly by those who expect an emotional response in addition to the biological one. You are primarily a taker and not much of a giver; you are volatile and courageous; you thrive on hard work, and you do your best in times of danger. Mars conjoining Uranus is one of the most dynamic of all aspects. It is a highly volatile and unstable configuration that necessitates caution and restraint in all areas of your life...

Your natal Sun in Leo was making a favorable aspect to the planet Neptune at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

The sextile (60° aspect) between the Sun and Neptune in your horoscope shows that you are deeply aware of your creative potential. You understand your social responsibilities, and you know that you can be instrumental in relieving much of the suffering you observe. However, you prefer to leave the burden of changing adverse social conditions to those who have the strength and determination for it. Your task is to assist those who are affected by such conditions – to treat the symptoms. You are extremely sensitive, and any rejection of your attempts to render service hurts deeply. This can cause some difficulty, since it is so important for you to relate to others on a personal level...

Your professional possibilities are quite varied. Like a chameleon, you can take on whatever characteristics that are required in your occupation. In other words, you can fit in despite your personal preferences. Ideally, your work should involve activities related to the public. Your imagination and creative talents could be exploited in writing – or the communications field in general. Even working in a travel agency – or on ships, planes, or resorts where people unwind would be excellent outlets for you. If you’re motivated to work alone, you must still relate to the public in some way. Arts and crafts or drama would bring out the best in you. Your sense of drama is an asset in bringing attention to your pursuits. Your inspiration and imagination comes alive when you focus your energy on them...

Your personal associations are as varied as your professional interests. You relate freely to all kinds of people, and the many characters that you encounter rarely surprise you. You admire the successful and sympathize with those who fail, but you’re not demanding or tolerant of either. Generally, you allow others to find their own level of accomplishment. You’re particularly drawn to individuals who are sure of their own identity...

You accept the challenge of opportunities others would avoid in order to prove to yourself that you can succeed in spite of complications. You are somewhat of a visionary in the sense that you can envision the outcome of any situation that you are involved in...

I have re-created the Heavens for the exact moment of your birth and your nativity shows that you were born with the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Gemini, and your time of birth gives you Leo rising.

6:35 AM (PDT)
Los Angeles, CA

The Sun - which is both your cosmic ruler and your life ruler - is 13 degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself, and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly stubborn, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing, or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. You are very theatrical, and you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Your natal Moon is 26 degrees Gemini.
Restless in the extreme, you are easily bored because of your short attention span. Your emotions change rapidly, and you love to talk about your feelings. Generally, you have good judgment...your intellect controls your emotions and you do not overreact emotionally to things. You are a good "jack-of-all-trades"; you have many side interests and you enjoy reasoning things through. With your mental agility and need for physical mobility, you are attracted to traveling and learning about other cultures. You have vivid powers of emotional self-expression...you can be a nonstop talker. You love to share your ideas with anyone who will listen.

Your Ascendant (rising sign) is 18 degrees Leo.
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege - but not the responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic, but you can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity, but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head...:) You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive...at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. However, you must avoid becoming obsessed with being in the center...

Mercury is 17 degrees Leo.
You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty...you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have a good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for advice and counsel.

Venus is 29 degrees Gemini.
You are friendly, warm, open and tolerant toward others...and a natural flirt. You love variety in your relationships...indeed you may even prefer to maintain more than one relationship at a time! Very witty and humorous, you have the ability to amuse and please others. This makes you quite popular. You love the "playa" role...thus you find it difficult to settle down and make any deep emotional commitments. Your innate charm and vivacity makes you welcome most everywhere you go.

Mars is 23 degrees Leo.
You are a very proud person. Strong, bold, courageous and self-possessed, you love to be the one to initiate significant actions. When people expect a lot of you, you respond positively and will work hard in order to maintain their respect. But when your dignity or pride is threatened, you tend to become sarcastic, arrogant and domineering. Try not to take any challenge or resistance that you meet as a personal affront. You are very stubborn about your right to live your life according to your own principles.

Jupiter is 29 degrees Sagittarius.
You have a very strong sense of ethics and morality. You are widely-read and may also be widely-traveled, because you are sincerely interested in expanding your knowledge of the world about you. At times you have an annoying tendency to be self-righteous and evangelical about your belief system. You are usually quite idealistic, and you demand the right to be able to explore the entire world of experiences yourself. Remember to grant others the similar right. Be tolerant, not dogmatic.

Saturn is 17 Degree Gemini.
You are such a clear thinker and speaker - with a logical, orderly mind - that you are repulsed by abstract, intangible or unorganized thoughts or ideas. But you tend to get uptight about speaking in public because you are afraid to be wrong. Remember, however, that the best way to learn is by making mistakes. Also, you will be so carefully prepared that you probably will not make many mistakes anyway. To be interesting to you, ideas have to be practical and useful.

Uranus is 15 degrees Libra.
You as well as your entire peer group have a very free, unstable and unconventional approach to relationships and emotional commitments. You will be attracted to experiments in marriage and shared lifestyles. Personal freedom is more important to you than entangling emotional bonds. In the realm of art and aesthetics, you are attracted to the bizarre, shocking and unusual.

Neptune is 2 degrees Sagittarius.
You and your entire generation are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is 0 degrees Libra.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments...they will not be entered into lightly.

The Moon's North Node is 25 degrees Capricorn.
You rarely get involved closely with anyone unless he or she has something specific and practical to offer you. You tend to be "all business" when it comes to dealing with others. You're usually so intently focused on a particular goal that you rarely have time for social niceties or casual fellowship. But you can definitely be counted on by others to get things done. When you say that you'll do something, you do it. As such, you're a valuable member of any team situation and will probably rise to a position of leadership within the group. Your trustworthiness and sense of responsibility are unquestioned. But do try to avoid the temptation to "use" others to reach your goals...they might come to resent you.

There were no planets in the earth and water signs at the time of your birth. (The earth signs are Capricorn/Taurus/Virgo; the water signs are Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces.) No planets in the earth signs indicates that your feet are not on the ground. You have trouble holding on to money because it doesn't mean that much, and you dream impossible dreams, but rarely put these impossible dreams to practical use. and most difficult of all, you find it hard to differentiate between that which really matters and that which is unimportant and passing. You tend to make mountains out of molehills, and you rarely have time to get down to the nitty-gritty, so to speak...

No planets in the water signs indicates that you lack sensitivity or the ability to feel deeply and intuitively. It denotes that you are someone whose emotions are well-controlled; you are not influenced by your environment, and most of the time you do not show your moods. Every human has feelings, and so do you - even though there were no planets in the water signs at the time of your birth. However, you express your feelings on a different level, Your motivation will not be to nuture (Cancer) or feel deeply (Scorpio) or know intuitively (Pisces)...rather, the air and fire elements take over...

this is very interesting!!!
Thank you for the chart bro!!!!!
I see alot there thats in me.

You're welcome, Turtle...

Because you were born between the hours of 6 and 8 a.m., your natal Sun in Leo occupies a sector in your horoscope called the 12th house. "Houses" are astrological divisions of our planet Earth, just as the twelve signs of the zodiac are astronomical divisions of the Heavens. The houses number twelve also, and they represent every aspect of human existence.

The 12th house has rulership over limitations, seclusion, secrets, sorrow, suffering, frustration, handicaps, and behind-the-scenes activity. It shows your strength and weaknesses. It indicates places of confinement, such as hospitals, jails, mental institutions, etc., and it rules restraint, inhibitions, exile, secret enemies, hidden dangers, self-undoing, and clandestine affairs.

The 12th house also rules the inner consciousness, the subconscious mind and karma (i.e., spiritual debts to be paid), as well as charity, sympathy, and public welfare. It shows the things we hide from others. This house is often called the "closet" of the horoscope, because it is here that we hide problems that are too painful to face, or difficulties that we refuse to acknowledge.

With the Sun in the 12th house, you are somewhat retiring. Your will is directed toward exploring the resources of your subconscious mind. If you display leadership, it will be behind the scenes. You can be lonely and estranged from normal human contact. You are very much interested in psychology and psychic research. You man fid self-expression through work in large institutions, such as hospitals, prisons, asylums, or places of spiritual and physical retreat. Service to others can provide you with recognition and fullfilment.

The Sun in the 12th house is similar to having the Sun in Pisces, which is why you have an affinity for those born under this sign...

The Moon was in the mutable air sign Gemini at the time of your birth, thus you are interested in the intimate contact of the moment. Your emotional personality requires variety and novelty rather than duration and depth of feeling. You are generally incapable of long-sustained feelings or of undivided loyalties. Though at times you can be insensitive, your perceptions are quick and accurate. You sustain impressions through thought rather than feeling.

Your senses serve the intellect rather than the emotions. This results in an ability for dispassionate observation and reasoning. Your mind is changeable and at times chaotic, but you can assimilate an indefinite amount of detail. Being versatile and adaptable, you may have two or more vocations, often at the same time.

You have a fondness for action and movement, either physical or mental. Your hands are able, facile and skillful, and you have a well-developed sense of taste and smell. You are not intuitive, but rather you are observant, quick to form impressions, and usually able to verbalize them instantly.

You are attracted to the artistic and literary professions, or any area involving communications. A preference, even a need to do several things at once is important for your psychological well being. The intellectual ability of this position of the Moon often makes you an avid reader or a talented artisan.

You are reserved in personal matters, and at times others find you cold; you are more interested in the here and now than in the past. Torn apart by changing feelings, you can spread yourself too thin and scatter your energies; this can manifest in nervous tension. You know how to play up to others, and at times you may be too shrewd for your own good. Your restless nature is always in search of something new.

This lunar position also indicates that you are attracted to an intellectual female who can fit into any social role. Mercury is the planetary ruler of Gemini, and the key phrase for this sign is “I think.”

The Moon occupies the 11th house in your horoscope. The 11th house is the house of friends, hopes, wishes and aspirations. This placement of the Moon confers a powerful emotional need for friendships and group activities. There can be many acquaintances, but not necessarily of a lasting or meaningful nature. Your views are unprejudiced, detached and objective, yet you frequently change your aims. You have the tendency to be a joiner, and you do well in organizational work.

You have many friends who are helpful, and with whom you have easy rapport. Your hopes, objectives and motivations fluctuate with your moods, and you have numerous friendships with females. Your emotional state is influenced by the opinions and reactions of your friends. You do not like to me alone; you need companionship for your emotional well being. However, at times you have to be alone in order to stabilize your feelings...

The Sun, which is both your cosmic ruler and life ruler, was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth, conjuncting your Ascendant (rising sign). Here is its delineation:

The Sun conjuncting your Ascendant shows that you have a great desire for recognition, and that you are creative in finding ways to gain attention. In fact, you may be so satisfied with your own ego and identity that you fail to recognize how much these same elements mean to those you deal with. In general, you are uncompromising, because you fear that otherwise you may be required to submit to another’s authority.

You have great faith in your ability to rise above any of life’s negative circumstances. You know how to use your vast creative resources in a direct assault against any adversary, and you believe that eventually you’ll succeed. Most often you do, but when you’re challenged by tough competition and unsure of the outcome, you’ll resort to brute force to demonstrate that you don’t give in without a fight.

You know how to win friends and influence people, and you use this talent very effectively. In spite of this natural gift, however, you’re surprised to find that some people aren’t won over, and this bothers you. To be truly comfortable in your profession, you need to have a position of authority over others.

You feel the need to project your personality, to have others see how you operate – and it goes without saying that others notice you. You’re a leader [after all, the Ascendant, (or cusp of the 1st house), is ruled by the sign Aries on the natural zodiac, and this influence is combined with the power of the Sun], and it is sometimes difficult for you to handle and respect another’s position of authority. You’re generous, and usually outgoing, and you tend to show off and want to be the center of attention. Yet you have great integrity and a zest for life and living...

Mercury, the planet of the mind, was also rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

Mercury conjoining the Ascendant in your horoscope shows that you are intensely preoccupied with yourself. It is said that those born with Mercury on the Ascendant only have two strings on their conversational violins: the "I"-string and the "me"-string! You probably start conversations with "I" more often than most people do, and the word "me" crops up regularly in your dialogue. This is not such a terrible thing, but it is boring to others. Your mental faculties are well developed, and for the most part you are bright and witty - so your incessant use of the personal pronoun may be tolerated.

You are intellectually enthusiastic about every bit of information you receive, and inclined to burst out with rash statements of opinion when you are provoked. You pride yourself on how easy it is for you to learn, and you may show disdain for anyone who has to concentrate harder. You are mentally impulsive, and you rarely give anyone a chance to answer your questions. You are not afraid to speak out when you know you are right, but, the fact is, you are not always right. When your views are criticized, you become indignant and argumentative.

You are no shrinking violet; you would rather put up than shut up. In a crowd you can dominate a conversation by asking questions that you answer yourself, or by posing problems that you solve immediately. Because you are an original and creative speaker, you often dramatize what you have to say with a display of acting ability. People are fascinated by your masterful command of language and your effective delivery...

Mars, the planet of dynamic energy, was also rising on the eastern horizon and conjuncting the Ascendant the time of your birth. Here is its delineation:

Mars conjoining your Ascendant (rising sign) gives you an inexhaustible supply of energy. You are constantly in motion, but sometimes it is motion without meaning. Lacking self-discipline, you take daring and unnecessary risks when challenged. Your supporters regard you as courageous, but your enemies consider you presumptuous. You are not moved by either opinion, however, because - more than anything else - you want people to recognize your superiority and give you the breathing room you need.

You must see that people are in constant awe of your aggressive superiority, because inside you are not really that sure of yourself. The facade you present hides a persistent inferiority complex. You probably win your arguments by making the most noise and wearing out your opponents with unceasing harassment. But you don't need to waste your energy this way, because you have enormous creative ability that merely needs to be harnessed to an objective. When you do this, no one can succeed as easily as you can - with energy to spare.

You are a very physical person, and you tend to view compromise or concession as tactics fit only for the weak and spineless. It is almost impossible to have a simple, friendly talk with you; when you think you are losing control and your position is weakening, you become angry and may resort to violence. People who converse with you in a terse manner are aware of your short fuse.

On the positive side you are independent and self-confident. You know how to mobilize people and their resources in order to achieve your objectives. Although you can work as hard as the best of them, you prefer to play the role of instigator - sitting back and pulling strings to make others do your bidding...

THANKS FOR THAT BROTHER. ONE THING THAT I SEE IN THERE IS I'M REALY A VERY LOVING PERSON. CAN YOU TELL MORE ABOUT MY LOVE LIFE?

A mate born under the air sign Aquarius is best suited for you, because this sign is on the cusp of the 7th house of marriage, intimate relationships, business partnerships and open enemies in your horoscope. This indicates that you seek partners who will stimulate you intellectually; who can be a real friend to you as well as a partner - one who will not be afraid to act independently, and look or behave in a most individualistic way. Yet being a double Leo, you are a strong and dominant personality in your own right...and once you have what you thought you wanted, you may try to change your mate to suit you...to dominate. The usual result is marital ups and downs, and sometimes even divorce...

The fire sign Sagittarius is on the cusp of the 5th house of love. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, and is the planetary ruler of Sagittarius. It also occupies the 5th house in your horoscope. This indicates that a mate born under this sign would also be an excellent choice...

You must stay away from the earth and water signs, however - i.e., Capricorn/Taurus/Virgo; Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces - because there were no planets in any of these signs at the time of your birth...

If you do find a mate who will go along with your demands, she will become your best friend...and the most important person in your life...

WOW, THANKS FOR THAT!!!I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE DOUBLE LEO THING BROTHER. THIS IS INDEED INTERESTING!!!!!

Hey there, Aqil. I am a Leo, but one of those quiet, reserved Leos... July will be here before you know it, another year, another gray hair...lol. If I send you some info, could you do a forecast for me? What information do you need...Name, birthdate, birthplace, time of birth...anything else?

That's it, watzinaname...

There is a natural assumption of authority in the Leo nature that is different from the driving ambition of Capricorn. While Capricorn seeks to climb to a position of power, Leo already possesses that power by divine right. Like the infant who rules the household from his crib; like the king surrounded by his loyal subjects; or like the creative artist in his studio, proud and lordly Leo is in total control of his universe...

The Sun entered Leo on Thursday, July 22, and will transit this sign until August 23. Leo the Lion relates to the exteriorization at the peak of the summer season...

IT IS THE TIME OF THE LION AND THE LIONESS!

Happy birthday to all Leo members of destee.com

The Sun, which is the giver of all life, rules Leo...therefore the Sun is dignified in this sign, meaning its influences are strong during its annual transit of Leo the Lion (July 22 - August 23)...

You're quite welcome, Thandiwe...

Happy Birthday to my favorite Leo...

((((((((((REMBY!))))))))))

This year the Sun entered Virgo on August 22nd, Remby...so that all those born today will be Virgos. In 1954, the Sun entered Virgo on August 23, at 11:36 a.m. You were born at 3:37 a.m., eight hours earlier, and at that time the Sun was in Leo, which is why you are a Leo...:)

:wave: Aqil

You are so very special to me, thats why I call you my brother. You are my protector, my confidant, you enlighten me and you comfort me. You are all those things and more. Thank you for the birthday wish, I love you.


P.S Oh and least of all you make me smile :love:

I am honored, Remby...and may the blessings of Allah (swt) forever be upon you...

:heart:

On the human anatomy Leo rules the heart, and Bill Clinton is a Leo...

Martha Stewart (8/3/'41) is a Leo with the Moon in Sagittarius and Scorpio rising. The Sun conjuncts the Midheaven in her horoscope, meaning that she is goal-oriented by nature. Her horoscope also contains the rare "Finger of God" aspect...her natal Moon being the focal planet in this configuration...in the 2nd house of money!...where the Moon is accidentally exalted! No wonder she's a billionaire!...

The Sun entered Leo on Friday, July 22, and will transit this fire sign until August 23. Leo the Lion relates to the exteriorization at the peak of the summer season...

ONCE AGAIN IT IS THE TIME OF THE LION AND THE LIONESS!

Happy birthday to all the Leos on Destee.com!

Who praises all his kindred do?
Expects his friends to praise them to...
And cannot see their senseless view...
Ah...Leo!

Happy B-day Nicey37!

Thank you Aquil for the great info. I'm glad this thread came up again. It reminded me of characteristics which is helping to learn more about myself.
