Ruler and Deity of Leo Sign

Personality Traits for Leo (Simha Rashi) Zodiac Sign
Monarch:
A monarch is somehow larger than life. This is how Leo desires to be. A Leo is the king (or queen) of his or her domain. Subordinates, friends, and family are loyal and trusted subjects. Leos exercise their power with compassionate grace and for the benefit of others. They are strong individuals and have a strong presence. In any social setting, they tend to draw attention. While others wait in the wings, Leo basks in the spotlight. Whatever they do, they do it with a flair for the dramatic- everything about them is theatrical. Leos don't have to look for a role to play in life. They've found it. They are the monarch of all they survey.
The Sunshine:
This sign is ruled by the Sun, and it is quite difficult to feel unwell or unhappy when you think of the sun. The Sun's light somehow functions as the exact opposite of disease and indifference. Leos delight in life. They also enjoy having a good time; they enjoy drama, music, the theatre, and various forms of entertainment. These are what makes life enjoyable. You run the major risk of robbing Leos of their enjoyment, fine food, drink, and entertainment if you try to deny them those things—even if it's in their best interests. To them, life without joy is no life at all. Because Leo's nature is flamboyant and expansive, they despise the humdrum, the ordinary, and the dull. When real life does not supply all the excitement they need, they try to create their own. Hyperbole is second nature to Leo. You are born to do things in an r-r-really big way.
Larger-than-Life:
Leos have larger-than-life emotions; whether they're experiencing joy, despair, excitement, or love, they might as well be playing on a giant movie screen. They feel they have an important role to play in life and they're going to find it. Leos need to be involved in the world; in fact, they tend to think of any plan or project that they're part of as an extension of who they are. You believe in taking action. Leos's immediate reaction to any problem is to do something about it rather than sit around pondering it. What makes Leo special, though, is that despite all their inner qualms, they jut out their chin and walk head-on into any challenge. Leos have a deep-seated need to prove their worth—not to others but to themselves. They'll tackle any job just so they can say, "I wasn't afraid to try!".
The Shadow Qualities of the Leo Sign
Leos have a reputation for being possessive and jealously prone. The Lion dislikes it when someone else shows interest in something that belongs to him. You should avoid challenging Leo's sense of pride. They don't take criticism well, and they'll go to any lengths to protect their ego.
Their Ego occasionally prevents them from mending a damaged relationship. The Lion desires it right away. Leos are not patient people and if they have their heart set on something, they will want it immediately. They don't like 'waiting around. Dominance is another negative trait of a Leo. They prefer to do things their way and won't submit to you unless there is a compelling cause to. A Leo likes taking decisions as per his/her own will and they always want to have the last word in an argument. So, the next time you try to dominate a Leo, be prepared for a tough argument. Before thinking about anything else, they think about themselves. They can be very selfish and self-centered at the same time when they are at a competitive level.
