Leo in Love

Leo rules the heart, making you the most passionate of signs. Once you had captured the heart of the most important man in the world - Daddy - you knew that your true goal in life was to conquer and rule, to become the queen of hearts! Hyperbole aside, you are coquettish, bright, sexy and giving: you wear your heart on your sleeve and, like your fiery sisters, Ms Aries and Ms Sagittarius, you have no qualms about chasing your man until he gets you. Yet you are more faithful, possessive and persistent than the other fire signs, and you have more feminine wiles and a serious talent to flirt, which puts you at the top of the list of the most desirable women in the zodiac. And once you have given your heart, it is with life-long intent.

So do you have a problem? I know it's hard to believe that there could be one but it is your very regal and dominating personality that can get in the way of perfect marital bliss. You can do everything better than most people, but most guys really don't like to be outshone by their partner: let them make mistakes, accept the occasional less than perfect result - they, like you, also thrive on praise and adoration. You know in your heart that appearances do not really matter, yet you can alienate your admirers with your near-obsessive drive to prove you are the best. Relax, enjoy - no one's grading you on performance and achievement.

Your alter-ego is Scarlett O'Hara - she whose love for the unattainable and basically rather weak and flaccid, Ashley, blinded her to the one man who really loved her and was her true match - Rhett Butler. How many times have you found yourself saying, in the wake of heartbreak - I'll get him back, however long it takes: tomorrow is another day.

The Leo Man

He's the one standing out in a crowd. Yes, he may be a bit loud, but he's very attractive and making a big impression. Never forget this: Mr Leo needs an audience, even an audience of one will do, and there must be applause and adulation, otherwise he'll get very cranky, go off his food, and very possibly off you too. All right, he takes a lot of work but when he's happy and in love there's no one more generous, adoring and faithful. He really won't look at another woman once his heart is taken. The Leo man loves the kind of female who is reserved, sophisticated, intelligent and feminine - he needs the nurture and sensuousness of water-sign women and the wisdom and solidness of earth. Then again, he's such a ladies man, he's open to a heart to heart with any sign.

Who's For You

All the fixed signs hold an attraction for you - that's Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius and Leo. Your own sign is both a comfort and a challenge since both your good and bad qualities are fortified by each other. Mr. Scorpio is well nigh irresistible: all those intense looks and steamy exchanges - has passion ever reached greater heights. In the long run, however, the love-hate quality of this relationship can be a killer. Mr. Taurus is another must-have: this man is sensuous, faithful and always there, in fact that's almost the problem in the long term - he's so predictable and dogged that the relationship withers on the vine. As for Mr. Aquarius, he's an ideal match: stimulating, detached enough to keep you interested, yet basically loyal. The problem here is sex - a bit on the cool and intermittent side for you. Gemini and Libra are two other signs that fit you like a glove - bright, forgiving, tolerant and happy to let you run the show, provided you give them room to breathe.

Life Love Money The Spring Horoscope for Leo

Don’t even think of taking it easy. This is a high-profile quarter for you and you need to flaunt those assets when they’re going to have their most desired effect. The theme for the spring is going-places, whether this translates as lots of little journeys or trips to foreign destinations, and someone from overseas could play a big part in your success and happiness. You should be seeing your life and your future in much bigger terms, and, hopefully, you’ll have solid evidence that your hopes and ambitions are justified. Jupiter is a force for the good, opening doors that have previously remained closed to you (watch mid-March and 7th – 14th May) and learn to recognize an opportunity even when it comes from an unexpected source or fails to meet your high standards. Gold in the raw requires a little work to reveal its value.

The summer months look to be the time your love story flourishes so don’t become too frustrated if relationships have to take a back seat now – the spring is primarily about your material ambitions and securing your place in the world. Still, if you have a special date planned, and it falls on or near the 11th March or 21st April, expect the best. With Neptune no longer influencing your love-life you are beginning a more stable period; you are stronger in yourself and better able to cope with relationship ups and downs. Yet, as the veil is lifted from your eyes, so to speak, you may begin to see a partner is a new and more realistic light. It may take until August before you can figure out what to do about a relationship, indeed, it may be better to put a decision on hold until then. Think: bridges and water flowing under them...

So, this is it – the big push. Use that fabulous Jupiter energy while it is focused on your career and material ambitions. It may be that someone suddenly notices your talents and promotes you, puts money behind you or offers you a great job; on the other hand, you need to get over being rejected and stop focussing on the hard journey you have had for recognition – get back in the saddle. And with attitude. Set a plan in motion between the 21st April and 6th May, and see it come to fruition further down the line. Mars energizes any area it focuses on yet it also creates conflict, so with this planet in the zone of self-worth, you are in a phase when you are making huge efforts to increase your earning power yet you will periodically run into opposition, whether from partners or financial institutions. Do not over-extend yourself and don’t hold out for a better deal – take that bird in the bush!
