Leo's most striking quality is warmth. When Leo laughs, the room warms up; when Leo speaks, people listen. Leos give their time, attention and gifts generously to those around them. They see life as a stage and want to play a good role on it, but that role is usually sincere. Family, their word and honesty are among the values they hold with the greatest sense of honor.
