overindulgence, gambling and spending money makes them feel good.

instinctive desire for both acclaim and self - approval.
They will literally
use a mirror to see what effect they are making and will study what to do to make a better
impression.
They want to be
desirable, attractive, and will acquire the traits needed to appear better.
Self - approval
desirable, attractive, and will acquire the traits needed to appear better.
Self - approval
replaces conscience, they'll do anything as long as it improves their image.
Introspective they
are not, self - analysis is unimportant, the effect they make on other people however, is.
Leo is the most
dominant, creative and extrovert of all the zodiac signs.
They are truly Lions
in their splendour and personality, ambitious, courageous, self - confident, strong -
willed, independent without any self - doubt.
Born leaders, they
are most effective when in command, bringing out the best from their employees or co -
workers.
They possess enormous
magnetism, are uncomplicated, act bigger than life with enormous daring.
Ambitious, thriving
on adversity, they will pursue their goals relentlessly.
Intelligent,
philosophical, sometimes religious, almost fanatical in their religious beliefs.
This fanaticism can
be positive as well as negative.
In competition they
are ruthless, jealous, and will resort to trickery, cheating, backstabbing and lying to
best their rivals.
They are not above
using other peoples' ideas and presenting them as their own.
Their passions and
lusts are also Lionine, for luxury, power, sex, money.
Normally they can
control themselves because of an inner wisdom which creates checks and balances.
