Leo - The Lion - Middle of the Fire Triplicity
July 22 - August 22

Common Ailments for Leo
The ailments to which Leo people are most liable arise from weakness of lungs, heart troubles, violent fevers, back and kidney troubles, which any long-continued despondency will greatly increase. All these ailments and every other known to man can be entirely dominated, forever cast out, by those who realize that mind is the master and body the servant of mind.

Leo Personal Appearence

Usually persons born under the sign of Leo have a strong wiry body, not over tall, but well proportioned, broad shoulders, round head, with light or ruddy complexions, strong, deep voice, and large eyes, and are often under a peculiar spiritual influx.

Leo Faults

The faults of Leo are most marked. Many of them are cunning, tricky, natural prevaricators, and chronic borrowers. They are hot-headed, impetuous, fiery, and passionate. They are easily attracted by the opposite sex, and are not usually distinguished for constancy. They take quick prejudices, but are sometimes more correct in their estimate of people than their cooler-headed and more passive neighbors. There are occasional liars to be found in this sign, and like the cat some of them will appropriate that which is not given them.

Leo is the only sign in the Zodiac that is governed by the Sun, and to this solar influence is ascribed the passion and impetuosity of those who come under it. These faults are somewhat modified in Leo women, proving the truth of what has been previously stated, that training and environment have their influence upon the mighty planetary forces.

Leo girls are more sheltered and carefully educated than Leo boys; they cannot give rein to their natural impulses, and so learn to dominate them. But a Leo woman who has not thus controlled herself will be apt to go even farther in duplicity and appetite than a Leo man. When these faults are overcome, there is no better, stronger, or more helpful person among all the signs of the Zodiac.

Leo Growth

The spiritual evolution of the Leo character is by cool and passive contemplation and silence. They should ever bear in mind that their governing planet is the Sun, and that true growth can be attained only by a combination of heat and cold, light and shadow.

Their best discipline seems to come from suffering, loss, and sickness, through which they learn the futility of deception and passion. Every Leo individual should be sure to set apart some moments each day for silence and repose; also periods of absolute solitude. Only in this way can true polarity be obtained.

The greatest pains should be taken by those born under this sign to discriminate between natural intuition, which is theirs to a remarkable degree, and the abuse of this native genius, which degenerates into a mean and hurtful prejudice. They should try to see that this latter trait of character is a positive hindrance to their own growth, because hurtful to others.

They also need to exercise themselves more in regard to the comfort and happiness of others, and less in regard to their own. The selfishness of this sign must be overcome before there can be any true progress. Leo people should often take a careful inventory of their own faults and weaknesses, and in this way learn charity for others.

Leo Children
Children who are born when the Sun is well centred in Leo should be most carefully guarded, on account of having fine sensitive natures, with a strong emotional impulse to imitate others. Without a strong hand and proper education Leo children are very apt to partake of many vices and evils which lead to paralysis, consumption, or insanity. A great responsibility rests upon parents and guardians who have the charge of these young people.

Leo children are quick to observe any duplicity or inconsistency on the part of those around them, and will meet it all with corresponding hypocrisy and a deep cunning. They are exceedingly imitative, and must therefore be taught independence of character. They not only imitate the actions and the faults of others, but they have a great power in imitating voices and gestures.

The minds of these sensitive and talented children should be kept busy with simple, wholesome, and amusing tasks. There can be no harmonious development of a child born under this fiery and impulsive sign without constant and varied amusement. Just as a young lion can be brought into subjection by steadfast love and unvarying kindness, so can the young lion be tamed and developed into all goodness.

Leo children must be constantly under observation, but must not know it. If he or she is conscious of being watched, they will immediately commence to deceive and prevaricate. They should never be pushed one side. They should be the constant companions of judicious parents or guardians. Parents must be careful not to transgress the rules they have made for them.

The true nature of the higher individuality of Leo is law and order; but many Leo people go through life from the cradle to the grave without being appreciated, or even understood.
