It is a fiery sign ruled by the Sun, the significator of vitality, intelligence, male progeny, social status and magnificence. These factors render the Leos noble hearts, with character and will power. If Leo rises as the ascendant, the Ishta Devata (form of god for worshipping and meditation) would be mother divine, Goddess Durga. This sign rules upper belly, stomach, spine, spinal cord, back, liver, gall bladder, spleen and pancreas. If the Sun is strong, the Leos enjoy good health. Otherwise, they are vulnerable to the diseases of heart, spine, back, bones, spleen, pancreas, liver, stomach, weak digestion, fevers, etc., and lack stamina and will power. This is the mooltrikona sign of the Sun.

Leo is a fixed, positive, satvic, pitta, male, benevolent, barren and quadruped sign and, when rising in the ascendant with a strong Sun, makes the person noble, generous and gives majestic appearance. They prefer to be the centre of attention. Depending on the influences on the ascendant and/or the Sun, the sign Leo gives intelligence, strong will, initiative, awareness of authority and decisiveness, making their natives visionary, patient listeners, rulers, aristocratic, persevering, dramatic and bold or authoritative, dominant, ambitious, jealous, impatient, stubborn, demanding, irritable and impulsive. As Mercury is prime determinant for professional affairs, the Sun is general significator for success in profession and Venus rules entrepreneurial nature, depending upon their strength, Leos may join a high service in government which offers security and fixed income, may earn through entertainment, sport, medicine, speculation or scientific pursuits, or may head large organizations, becoming organizers, administrators, contractors, corporators, leaders, politicians, etc. They will like to be self employed and will not like subordination. The influence of other planets on the tenth, first or second houses changes the professional pursuits.
