Leo's are known for their individuality and flair, but we're all born with a little Leo
somewhere in our souls. The place where Leo falls in your chart indicates the area of your life where you must express your own personal style. It shows where you radiate confidence, and are a bit of a diva.
In your own birth chart, look for the Leo symbol in the outer
ring, where the numbers on a clock would go. It looks like an upside
down U with a curlicue thingy, reminiscent of the Lion's mane.![]()

Now, notice how your birth chart is divided into 12 pie pieces, or
"houses". The twelve o'clock position on the wheel corresponds to the
tenth house. (Confusingly, the houses actually begin at 9:00, and
progress counter clockwise, but don't worry about that.)
At what "time" does Leo fall in your chart?
Leo at 1:00 (Ninth House): Travel, education and study feed your need for excitement and mental challenge.
Leo at 2:00 (Eighth House): You seek a passionate, fiery bond with a lover, with lots of fireworks and drama.
Leo at 3:00 (Seventh House): You're drawn to a Leo
type of lover: flamboyant, extroverted, the life of the party and the
king or queen of all he or she surveys. Don't let the bluster fool you
- inside, there's a baby lion cub who just wants to be loved.
Leo at 4:00 (Sixth House): You are supremely healthy
and strong, although you have bouts of laziness. You'd rather be a
boss - and a successful and beloved one - than an employee.
Leo at 5:00 (Fifth House): You've got Leo (and
probably many other signs as well) in its natural home. You bring just
the right attitude to romance and fun. You are light-hearted, playful,
and optimistic.
Leo at 6:00 (Fourth House): Lucky you - your parents
emphasized play, spontaneity and creative self-expression when you were
a child. While one or more parent may have been a bit of a force,
there was no shortage of love in your home.
Leo at 7:00 (Third House): While you may be somewhat set in your opinions, you learn with gusto, eating up news and facts with zest.
Leo at 8:00 (Second House): You prefer to live like a king - with the surroundings to show for it. You are lavishly generous with your possessions.
Leo at 9:00 (First House): You're
a "Leo Rising". Your outward, social style is like Leo - see our
10 favorite qualities above! While this isn't the "real" you, you've
got a strong Leo influence. Use it and love it.
Leo at 10:00 (Twelfth House): Whatever your
spiritual leanings, your beliefs are trusting and childlike - no
depressing nihilism for you. Your self-undoing may be over confidence.
Leo at 11:00 (Eleventh House): Your friends are Leo types: divas, artistes, stars. You like to associate with groups of creative, artsy friends. Or, in friendships, you may be a bit of a diva yourself.
Leo at 12:00 (Tenth House): Leo is on your
"midheaven", the most public point in your chart. Natural career fields: sports, acting, fashion, and anything creative.
