In much the same way, Leos consider themselves indispensable and the center of the universe, and those who would tell them otherwise had better look out! The element associated with Leo is Fire. 

Lions are outgoing, self-assured and have a tremendous zest for life. The Lion's enthusiasm is boundless, and along with that comes generosity of spirit and the determination to succeed.

You are supremely confident with a natural ability to attract attention to yourself. This is because your sign Leo is cast in a royal mould and whether unconscious or conscious of it, Leo likes to rule. Brimming with pride, you are determined to make the most of your assets. A super-achiever, Leo sets high standards for themselves and you are an inspiration to others. As a leader, you will not charge ahead and use force like the Aries.

A Leo can at times be arrogant which can hurt people's feelings. However, he usually is tender at heart and may go to any extent to help you. Leos are flamboyant.
