Who wouldn’t want you around?
Without the sun there would be no life on Earth, and you would like the same to be said about fiery, vibrant you! Leo is the epitome of energy and action. The grass doesn’t grow under your feet—in fact, it’s probably burned to a crisp! You’re a mover and a shaker, a sprinter, not a marathoner. Your boundless enthusiasm, optimism, and creativity spell fun with a capital F. On top of that, you’re honest, generous (to a fault), confident, and romantic. Isn’t it great to be you?
What’s the one thing Leos need most in love?
Leo is one of the zodiac’s most affectionate signs. You love to be in love—you need to be in love. How else can you be the singular focus of another human being? You are romantic and passionately playful and creative. You can be uninhibited and even sometimes goofy.
The thing you can’t abide in a relationship is monotony (oh, and not being the center of attention). In return you demand a lot of affection and loyalty (and attention). But take care. Sometimes you could be asking more than someone is able to provide.
This natural energy booster does so much for Leos!
Like Leo needs any more stimulation! Short of taking performance-enhancing drugs, there is something you can drink that can boost workout or competition performance (a bit) and ease muscle pain. Caffeine causes muscles to release calcium, which increases the force of muscle contractions. Caffeine also dulls signals from pain receptors in the brain, an effect that can last up to five hours.
But don’t go overboard. Too much caffeine can make you feel jittery and anxious. There’s a placebo effect, too. Study participants who thought they’d taken caffeine still boosted their performance! Maybe all you need to do is think about that double espresso to crush your workout!
How Leo celebs stay healthy and fit…
Aussie actress Yvonne Strahovski attributes her toned physique to “manual living”. She walks instead of driving, takes the stairs instead of elevators, and uses a whisk instead of an electric mixer in the kitchen. Oh, and she’s an avid surfer, too!
Fellow Leo actress Meghan Markle prefers to stroll down aisles, from her favorite farmers’ market to shoe shopping! This Lion downs a nutritional shake for breakfast and snacks on healthy homemade hummus. Instead of tortillas, she wraps vegetables in nori seaweed, and instead of french fries, she douses roasted sweet potatoes with salt, cumin, and red chili flakes for a fiery treat.
Your hidden talent, Virgo…
You’re a bit shy, and you aren’t one to broadcast your emotions, and that can sometimes make you seem cold or snobbish. You know you aren’t, but what to do? Small pets are associated with your sign, and one could be a boon to your social life. Studies show that owning a pet can buoy spirits, alleviate stress, and improve social skills. In addition to talking to Fido or Tweety, you might find yourself opening up to people at the dog park or starting a conversation with a fellow bird owner at the pet shop!
You take the professional gold medal…
It’s hard to see how businesses could survive if there were no Virgos. They may not be CEO (they’re probably happier leaving that to Leo), but these organized, modest workers are merrily toiling behind the scenes. They’re the ones minding the minutiae and making sure the whole shebang is running smoothly. Virgos can multitask like nobody’s business. And the boss will be happy about that perfectionist streak when it comes to any of those final presentations or deliverables. You’re happiest when the orders are clear, operations efficient, and guidelines simple. Leave the chaos to Gemini!
This rising Virgo celeb is talented and thoughtful!
Not all celebs are vain and self-absorbed! When Dylan O’Brien got the part of Stiles on MTV’s Teen Wolf, he wanted fans to see how “genuinely sweet and loyal” the guy was. And like a true Virgo, Dylan “will go any distance to remain internal and not open up.”
He’s been around the business all his life—his dad’s a cameraman and his mom ran an acting school. At age 10 he made videos and posted them on YouTube. He wanted to go to film school, but people loved his videos, one thing led to another, and by 17, he was going to auditions. Now he’s known for the sci-fi The Maze Runner too. His advice? “Just to be proactive…just be doing your own thing. Eventually, good things will happen. And if not, you’re still doing what you want to do!”
All the reasons why Taurus is the top employee…
They say that air talks, water feels, and fire energizes, but if you want to get something done, hire earth signs. You’re the go-to person when the boss wants to entrust a sensitive, important project to a reliable worker. You quietly and steadfastly go about your business and persevere until you’re done. The Bull is a time-honored symbol of dependable strength, and you bring that to your job every day. Taurus might feel a bit discouraged if you don’t get the appreciation you’re due, but Leo doesn’t have to worry about elbowing you out of the spotlight!
Are your character contradictions a big turn-off?
You are full of contradictions, as evidenced by your symbol, Crab. All the tough-as-nails armor and impressive weaponry on the outside hide a gentle and tender emotional being. By the same token, your inner focus is counterbalanced by an enterprising spirit. You crave comfort and security yet harbor no small amount of ambition.
Sometimes you can be paralyzed by fear, doubt, and worry, which keep you from moving forward. Your challenge is to listen to your instincts and face your fears head-on. Take the initiative in whatever you want to accomplish!
If you love someone, don’t forget to do this…
Other signs can keep their roses and chocolates. What makes Gemini feel most deeply loved (and in love) is communication. You want to be in contact with your significant other not one, not two, not three, but many times a day. It’s reassuring to know that he or she is thinking about you when you see that text or caller ID. If you’re out of touch for too long, you may as well not even be together! However, take a tip from a sensuous sign like Libra or Taurus and add some nonverbal messages with scent, touch, and taste!
