"3 Scenarios for Leo
When Leo is found in a certain house, we can expect one or more of the following experiences, depending on how much you're able to express your true self without fear or shame:

1) Experience of Personal Significance - You feel like a rock star in that area of life: people love and honor you for who you are, and you love expressing this part (defined by the house) of yourself to others. You will most likely be elevated somehow in others' eyes, in this life area.

"The glyph for the Sun is composed of the circle of Spirit with a central dot indicating the manifestation of Spirit in the microcosm as individual autonomously creative beings. The Sun is constant, evokes a reserve of power, radiated outwards in all directions, and stands for the principle of individualisation, which when positively expressed brings magnanimity; when negatively, egotism. It describes the conscious, the ego and core identity of any person, and his or her function as a centre of creative self-expression, and awareness of a destiny to attain or purpose to fulfil.

"The Sun, the giver of life, represents our conscious mind in Astrology. It represents our will to live and our creative life force.

"The Sun has to shine. It craves attention and it needs to do things that are creative and not routine. With the Sun,  you could something that you could put your heart and soul into."

"Every chart reading should begin with the Sun as the primary focus of astrology. The Sun's position in the zodiac is very important, and most agree it deserves first consideration. It's the core of the individual; the overriding nature and will. This is the influence that describes the "you" that is trying to be in this lifetime. This is your "awake" side, your consciousness and outer-directed individuality. Thus, the Sun is the most important single indicator, fueling the total personality.
