Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is the sign of generosity and nobility. It stands for self-_expression and the unfolding of the internal power principle. Generous and self-aware, you are truly king of the jungle. The Sun defines the dominant traits of your personality and your basic character. This makes you a self-assured, magnanimous, and buoyant person who enjoys being the center of attention, and others often see you as invincible, because your courage and charisma are so impressive.
You are the second of the fire signs, which makes you a strong-willed and courageous individual, with great leadership qualities. Your aura radiates magnetism and dignity like the rays around the sun.
You rule the fifth house of the horoscope, which is the area associated with pleasure, creativity, and play. Your desire to live out your emotions is powerful, and you constantly seek new ways of self-_expression. The mode of a Leo is fixed, which means that you are passive in your need for admiration, expecting others to naturally notice and approach you. You enjoy stability and comfort, and are generous in sharing it with others.
Virgo Rising, your mental acuteness is expressed in practical matters. You rather observe things, instead of talking about it. You are systematic and well organized in developing ideas and executing them. You also tend to deftly analyze situations until you have crystal clear results in front of you. No detail is too small for you to notice or explain, sivananthi, because perfection is your goal!
Professionally speaking, you excel in any kind of partnerships and associations, sivananthi, because you are an excellent mediator and diplomat, who has an innate sense of justice. This naturally inspires the respect, and the trust of the people you are in contact with. Since you detest conflict, you are always able to find a common ground that satisfies all parties involved, and are likely to work out compromises to save personal relationships.
You are not very communicative, because your inner life is vast, virgin territory for purity and truth that you idealize. You don’t let anyone enter this very carefully guarded “Garden of Eden”, sivananthi, unless you have invited them. You are very ambitious to make the world a better place. You have a lot of respect for the environment and for your fellow humans, and with a spiritual and universal approach, you try to make your best contributions. This is what pushes a Virgo Rising ahead in life.
Your Life-Path number is probably the most influential numerological aspect to be considered, sivananthi, and represents who you are at the time of birth. It indicates specific traits and will likely be active and influential throughout your lifetime. It is the overall number that determines much of what will be important to you and how you will handle things as they come.
If your Life-Path number is SIX, a sense of responsibility will likely be prominent for you. SIXES are considered to be the most domestic of numbers and live a path related to leadership through example. This assumption of responsibility generally means that as a SIX, you’re always there to help others in any way you can. In fact, you must need to feel useful in order to be truly happy.
Those with a SIX Life-Path are usually very versatile and can communicate across any generation gap. SIXES are idealistic and usually recognize that wisdom, understanding, and balance are the cornerstones to assume responsibility in the best possible way.
It is common for SIXES to be devoted to their families and homes. This is usually the first priority for a SIX with helping the community coming a close second. Key words for a SIX Life-Path are responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, empathy, and family.
It can be challenging for some SIXES to take on the responsibility for what’s around them in a healthy balance. Careful planning and consideration for the self as well as others will alleviate feelings of overwhelm or guilt. Be careful not to be too critical or hard on yourself if you can’t do it all. Your path is one of assuming only what you are able.
Like the Snake that enchanted Eve, you know how to make more than one person lose their head! Refined, funny, and gifted in seduction, you shine in society with your intelligence and vivacious spirit. The snake is admired in China for his wisdom and you have a philosophy in life that is all your own.
Intuitive and lucid in all situations, you become reserved when conversing and are silent most of the time, preferring to let your thoughts make their way in silence rather than through chatter. However, if the subject is abstract, you don't hesitate expressing yourself while your audience looks up to you in admiration, seduced by your knowledge. A cold-blooded animal, you love intrigue and playfulness in life, but preserve large periods of time for idleness.
You have the capacity to realize your projects in a few hours while others would take days to complete them. When you start out, your efficiency is terrifying and all the more so as you often work alone and at your own rhythm. You are faster than the average person, as you slide over obstacles like a snake in the grass. With your venom, you willingly attack your enemies with acerbic comments, leaving them only when your thirst for revenge has been satisfied. It's better being your friend...
