is
a classic example. She stars in every phase of the operation of her company. A Leo Sun
wants everything they do to be perfect. "Nothing but the best" is their motto.
So they either give up and become lazy, preferring to do nothing rather than do less than
the best, or they become a dynamo like Martha.
The Moon in Leo: doesn’t feel right emotionally unless they get plenty of
attention. The women in the life, starting with the mother, tend to be strong-willed with
a dramatic flair.
Mercury in Leo: may not be the best placement for details, but it can get the
big picture with little trouble. When trying to persuade someone, this Mercury won’t
use logical arguments as much as it tends to use an appeal to the heart. This is different
from the emotional appeal that works with Mercury in Cancer. That one runs more like:
"We have to nurture that poor person over there". Mercury in Leo would be
something more, well, fiery, such as "Win one for the Gipper".
Venus in Leo: loves theater and makes love theatrically. Remember, Leo’s motto is
"Nothing but the best". If you are dating someone with this placement, be
prepared to put on a show.
Mars in Leo: fights dramatically. When they have an argument, everyone within a two
block radius knows it. The only thing that could quiet this placement down is Mars also
being in the 12th House, the house that hides things.
Jupiter in Leo: Wants to show off and be a big spender. Of course, whenever possible, they
will do so with someone else’s money.
Saturn in Leo: needs 3 things to feel safe and secure. Attention, respect, and admiration.
They would rather have these than food.
Uranus in Leo: Uranus is genius and eccentricity. Leo is dramatic and theatrical.
Isadora
Duncan had this placement. She was a genius who scandalized her age. Of course,
not everyone with this Uranus will manifest these qualities so overtly. Isadora had Uranus
on one side of the horoscope, all by itself, so the effect was increased and became
prominent. Carl Jung is another Uranus in Leo person. He turned the field of
psychology upside down with his controversial theory of the "collective
unconscious".
Neptune in Leo: Leo is an aggressive, idealistic sign. Neptune is dreams and
imagination. This placement of Neptune produces a generation that can fight for ideals,
literally. Neptune was in Leo the last time during the "Roaring" Twenties. The
previous time was a few years before the American Revolution. Many of those born with this
Neptune placement fought in the War of Independence and World War II. Remember, Neptune
stays in a sign for about 14 years, so it influences an entire generation.
Pluto in Leo: marked a generation (1939 to 1956, and some in 1957 and 1958) that was
obsessed with self-expression. These are the War babies and the baby boomers, and "Do
your own thing" was (and still is) their motto. This was the generation that was
never going to grow old. As they age, they become fanatic about trying to stay young,
hence the proliferation of health clubs. Before 1960, marketing experts could tell
estimate from a person’s income, what kind of car they would probably drive, how
expensive their house was, etc. The Pluto in Leo people turned that topsy-turvy because
they would splurge on the things most important to them and skimp on everything else. You
would get people who would live in a small house but drive a big car and take expensive
vacations, or someone who would live in a big house and drive a beetle. And of course,
this generation made all those riots on the campus. Pluto in Leo will always defy
authority, unless, of course, THEY are the authority.
