PERSONALITY

They are often the life of the party. They are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment, than they are in enjoying the social and emotional connections they make with others. Charming, independent, energetic and compassionate, they can certainly be felt in any crowd. More than just a sociable people-pleaser though, they are shaped by their intuitive quality, allowing them to read between the lines with curiosity and energy. They tend to see life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected - they see it through a prism of emotion, compassion and mysticism, and are always looking for a deeper meaning. They are fiercely independent, and much more than stability and security, they crave creativity and freedom. Many others are likely to find their qualities irresistible, and if they've found a cause that sparks their imagination, they will bring an energy that oftentimes thrusts them into the spotlight, held up by their peers as a leader and a guru – but this isn't always where independence-loving lion want to be. Worse still if they find themselves beset by the administrative tasks and routine maintenance that can accompany a leadership position. Their self-esteem is dependent on their ability to come up with original solutions, and they need to know that they have the freedom to be innovative – they can quickly lose patience or become dejected if they get trapped in a boring role.

Luckily, they know how to relax, and they are perfectly capable of switching from a passionate, driven idealist in the workplace to that imaginative and enthusiastic free spirit on the dance floor, often with a suddenness that can surprise even their closest friends. Being in the mix also gives them a chance to connect emotionally with others, giving them cherished insight into what motivates their friends and colleagues. They believe that everyone should take the time to recognize and express their feelings, and their empathy and sociability make that a natural conversation topic. They need to be careful, however – if they rely too much on their intuition, assume or anticipate too much about a friend's motivations, they can misread the signals and frustrate plans that a more straightforward approach would have made simple. This kind of social stress is the bugbear that keeps the harmony-focused lion awake at night. They are very emotional and sensitive, and when they step on someone's toes, they both feel it.
