Sun in Leo
Leo - I rule

Noble, humour, affectionate. Leoian energy - motivated by inspiration and aspiration is ready for encounter! The fire energy of Leo can be warm, vital, vivacious, cheerful, and loyal to whatever happens to hold its interest. Fire energy craves freedom and opportunity. Fire energy can be assertive, competitive, ambitious and full of confidence for the future. Fire energy learns best when actively engaging in and grabbing hold of life. Fire loves adventure and hates routine! Leo babies are buoyant right from the start, attracting attention and loving it. However, being excessively praised can make Leo Sun claim being the center of attention (and of the universe ) as their exclusive right. Tantrums can result when Leo is then deprived of the devoted attention to which they've grown accustomed.

I suppose you’ve heard the phrase, "Fake it, till you make it!" Well, the young roaring energy of Leo builds self-confidence, by putting on demonstrations and shows of bravado. By acting self-confident, Leoian energy becomes self-confident in truth as well as deed. However, as fixed fire, Leoian energy is much more self-reflective and inner-directed than the average person might ever suspect. Over time Leo learns that, first and foremost, they have to be able to live with and please themselves. Leo feels a strong, burning inner-desire for self-authenticity. So, "to thine own self be true" could be another really good Leoian motto.

Ruled the Sun, creative Leoian energy is colored by an overall strong sense of drama and "bigness." Leo sees the "big picture" of possibilities for the future and for success. Playful, creative, warm-hearted, risk taking are all characteristics common to Leonians who are living out the fullest potential of their birth sun placement. With the Sun in Leo, this fiery, energetic attitude may have been the way they perceived the image of their father (or another significant male figure) when young and still in the early stages of childhood.

Sharing The Same Element

You and your child share the same basic core Element. This beneficial placement means the two of you share in many of the same styles of thinking, communicating, relating, and feeling. Sharing the same Element will help out a lot in the two of you truly having a mutual empathy and mutual understanding of the other person's needs. Of course, having this same element doesn't guarantee smooth sailing all the time - because it also means the two of you understand each other well enough to effectively "push each other's buttons." Resist the temptation whenever possible.

Sharing A Complementary Element

You and your child share what's called a Complementary Element. What this beneficial placement means is that while the two you don't share of the same styles of thinking, communicating, and relating - the two of you do have the great benefit of understanding another and respecting the different ways in which the other person thinks, communicates, and relates. Sharing a complementary Element will help out in the two of you truly having mutual empathy for one another and a mutual understanding of the other person

Sharing A Challenging Element

You and your child share what's called a Challenging Element. This means the two of you may be very different and at cross purposes in your individual styles of thinking, communicating, and relating. The bond of love shared between a parent and their child is, of course, a given. That bond will naturally help in smoothing out many of the rough spots. However, at times, the two of you may have to be prepared to put out extra effort in working toward truly understanding one another and developing mutual appreciation of the other person's differences.

Sharing An Unrelated Aspect

You and your child share what's sometimes called an elementally unrelated or Quincunx Aspect. This means the two you will have times when both of you can "read each other like a book" and understand one another perfectly - but then there will be equally many other times when the two of you are at a complete impasse. The bond of love shared between a parent and their child is, of course, a given. That natural bond will go a long way toward smoothing out the rough spots. However, swinging back and forth between "perfect understanding" and "not having a clue" can end up having the effect of keeping your relationship slightly uneasy and on edge. So... as your child grows older, the two of you may have to be prepared to put out some extra effort in working toward truly understanding one another and developing mutual appreciation of the other person's differences.

Sharing A Semi-sextile Aspect

You and your child share what's sometimes called a Semi-sextile Aspect. This beneficial aspect means the two you will usually enjoy each other and and have empathy for how the person thinks and acts - even though the two of you will seldom "have a clue" about why the other persons thinks the way they do or why they do the things they do. Relax and enjoy it. Not everything in this world is logical.
