Leo & Its Relationship to the Sun
In order to understand why Leo seeks attention, it is important to consider Leo’s association with the Sun. When we consider the sun in our solar system, it is the main luminary that all of the planetary bodies orbit. It is the center. Being the center, the sun has a special place as a fixed anchor that provides energy to the orbiting planetary bodies. Those planets that are closer to the Sun such as Mercury, Venus, and Mars get the most warmth while planets further away from the Sun such as Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are less likely to experience the warmth of the Sun’s rays. Nevertheless, the Sun is the center just like Leo considers itself to be the center of its own environment.
