The game is never over for this Leo…
Danish heartthrob Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, aka Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones, revels in the experiences afforded by his acting career, like horseback riding, sailing, and traveling the world. His peers praise his range as an actor and charm, but this Lion doesn’t have a big head.
As his career continues to rocket, Nikolaj tries not to feel too guilty about being away from his family as much as he is. He takes everyday setbacks and annoyances in stride while remembering to “appreciate the miracle of life and our existence.” Even without the suit of armor, this Lion radiates charm!
Inspiring words from famous Leos…
Here are some wise words from famous Leos who made more than one giant leap for humankind.
“I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.” – Neil Armstrong
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” – Amelia Earhart
“If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.” – Orville Wright
“It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.” – Guy de Maupassant
“It’s a shallow life that doesn’t give a person a few scars.” – Garrison Keillor
The surprising way you can look better instantly…
You always want to look your best, and improving your posture is one of the quickest ways to do that. Leo rules the spine, so if your problem is a curved upper spine—shoulders hunched forward and chest curled inward—you could be prone to pain between the shoulder blades. To counteract the slouch, strengthen your shoulders, chest, and neck muscles with single-arm rows.
You may want to pass these pointers onto your dates…
If you’re thinking of dating a Leo, there are a few things you should know. Keep these guidelines in mind and you’ll find your BFF (Best Feline Friend) in no time!
Be happy, because Leo is full of joie de vivre!
Be willing to try anything, because Leo will ask.
Be admiring, because Leo likes to be admired.
Be strong, because Leo expects you to stick up for yourself.
Be grateful, because Leo loves you!
Be energetic, because you’ll have to keep up with Leo.
Be confident, because Leo wants to be seen and you’ll be right there, too.
Be supportive, because Leo will lean toward you.
Be loving, because Leo loves to love and be loved.
Leos may be fierce, but they won’t go for these types…
Leo has some preferences when it comes to dating, and some definite dislikes! Here are a few of the fauna that should steer clear of the Lion’s territory.
Favor Forcer: They need to do things for Leo that the Lion doesn’t deserve, ask for, or even want just to get attention and love.
Parasite: They need Leo’s constant company or else get lonely.
Paranoid: They need reassurance from Leo 24/7.
Jealous: They need to know they’re Leo’s favorite.
Guilt-Tripper: They need Leo to feel like the Lion owes them.
Martyr: They need Leo to know how much they’ve sacrificed.
Are your romantic relationships mostly fact or fiction?
Dramatic Leo does everything over the top, so it can be hard to tell if that amazing gift or spectacular date really indicates true feelings or was all done for show.
The way you can find out if Leo’s affection is for real is to see what happens when you’re together in a group. Does the limelight-grabbing Lion let you tell the compelling story or the hilarious joke? The hardest thing for Leo to do is relinquish the spotlight to another. If you’re encouraged to shine, Leo may have found the one to share life’s stage!
The key to inner peace and contentment…
Leo is, by definition, self-assured and confident. To others, your self-expression could border on self-promotion and self-aggrandizement, but you know just how deserving you are of admiration. There’s a reason the peacock (yes, and the lion) is associated with your sign! On your journey toward self-realization, you can seem self-centered and self-important.
Try not to trample on others on your way up. Relax your need for validation from other people. With more self-awareness, and less self-deception, you can gain valuable self-knowledge and a renewed sense of self-worth. (OK, you can take one selfie to celebrate!)
These are bad signs if you’re with a Leo…
Leo loves to be seen, so there’s a problem if the Lion suddenly stays home, avoids groups, or tries to be inconspicuous. Is Leo’s spirit waning like the ashy death throes of a fading star? Perhaps your usually sunny mate has turned bitter and jealous or begun to growl, yet refuses to say what’s wrong.
If things have become too boring, the Lion could be on the prowl for a more appreciative audience. You may have done nothing worse than offer too little praise or too many directives, but it could be time to call it quits.
There’s one thing Leos do that may chase love away!
Like your namesake Lion, you exude confidence. You’re fearless and secure. But are you really? You want to be accepted for who you are—like everyone else—but sometimes you harbor a secret fear that maybe you aren’t as exceptional as you think you are, that you’re normal—like everyone else.
Are you pushing your dates to make you feel special without offering anything in return? If a relationship becomes all about “me, me, me,” a partner could grow tired of being an audience of one and seek a more equitable liaison.
Are your dreams as meaningful as other signs’?
Hard as it may be for you to believe, Leo, you spend a third of your life asleep! You dream, too, although you may not remember them. Dreams weave together threads of your waking life, and they can even give you insight into your problems.
Think of an issue or problem before you go to sleep (pick a night when you don’t have to use an alarm). In the morning, before you’re fully awake, write down what you remember about your dreams and see what insights emerge. Do you dream of lions? They indicate ambition and leadership!
