Lions and Leos

Beauty, elegance, and bold strided are the chief physical characteristics of the lion (P. Leo).
But in comparison the lion pride (group) has such a much greater meaning in it's intellectual denotation. Astrologers have traced a figure in the skies, which when combined with a little imagination and creativity, the stars form the figure of a lion. This constellation (group) of stars is known as Leo, whose name is applied the those born between July 23 and August 22. The important fact I'd like to bring forth in the next paragraph or two is the characteristics it designates to those who carry the nickname of 'Leo'.

Those who are born within the time period of July23 to August 22, are assigned the reputation and considered to hold the attributes of the Leo (lion). Leo's are most commonly known to be very generous, affectionate, noble, loyal, energetic, passionate, and strong-willed. Leo's are known (carry a reputation) of being spectacular leaders, and desiring immensely to be the center of attention, and importance. While Leo's are commonly very proud people, they are often heeded as being too proud (no offense intended)!

Now take what I've told you about the Leo reputation and apply and compare it to lions. The lion is greatly known as 'The King of The Jungle', this is where Leo's get their pride, center of attention and importance, and great leadership from.
The strength they portray in their appearance as well as the royal aspect, contributes to the perspective of the lion being a loyal, passionate, affectionate, and noble creature. There are in fact a great many number of astrologers or, at least those who know a decent amount about astrology, who would honestly tell you that if you where to argue or debate with a Leo, your chances of winning would seem very faint to that of your chances debating with someone other than a Leo. Wild lions can be compared to this Leo's trait very easily in that lions are proud and uneasy to subject to the dominance of another creature. A great deal of leadership MUST be displayed before lions, universally, will submit. As for passion and affection, it really should be up to others them selves to realize the, in a sense, love, that lions display.

The lion is one 'big kitty'! It is assumed that they are the most commonly known member of the cat (Felidae) family. They are comparably and almost non-debatably the most powerful of all cats, and personally one of the most beautiful. Lions inhabit the jungle's of Africa, south of the Sahara, as well as the Gir Forest of India, where they feed in their carnivorous manner upon large prey, such as zebra, antelope, buffalo, and warthog. The are very subject to diseases carried by the animals the hunt, as well as the prey they steal from the cheetahs after their catch. To give you an idea of how strong these animals are, they have the capability to tow a 600 pound animal with them to wherever they would like to feast. Lions average life span is approximately 15 to 20 years, however is increased by about 5 years, when in captivity. The lioness's gestation period is about 3 ½ months in which she can bear 1 to 6 cubs, but usually 2 or 3.
