Leo Physical Characteristics

I have been posting these on all of the sign forums, this website that i go on all the time has everything you could possibly want to know on the zodiac signs and there is a section on each one for "Physical Appearance" and it's crazy how accurate this was for me.. i got is from http://www.novareinna.com/constellation/leo.html so if anyone wants to go there and check it out. read this and tell me if it describes you or not.

Those who are born under the jurisdiction of Leo tend to retain their youth and exuberance of spirit until well toward the end of their lives. Indeed, in many cases, these natives give the illusion of appearing to grow younger as they actually become older. As a general rule, Leo subjects are of average to slightly above average height with strong, excellently-proportioned and well-sculpted bodies. They are also blessed with broad shoulders and finely-shaped heads, which may be rather large and roundish. They possess strong and pleasant voices and walk with a quick and buoyant step...although the movement itself may be somewhat slow and deliberate, as is their speech. The overall stature here is altogether rather distinguished, being regal and dignified in bearing. The skin of Leo individuals will customarily be healthy, the complexion ruddy, rosy or flushed in many instances, although it can occasionally be light in color. In short, natives of this Sign easily attract the attention of others in a physical sense.

In many respects, Leo natives very much resemble their animal counterparts, tending to be broad at the shoulders and trim at the hips...rather like the anatomy of a lion. There is often something of a "strut" to the walk here with a tendency to puff out the chest and hold in the stomach. One unmistakable trademark will be the very erect and upright bearing of the upper torso, neck and head. The hair, fine of texture and usually wavy, is customarily somewhat light, being either blond or reddish in color. Regardless, it almost always distinctive in some manner...perhaps sweeping gracefully up-and-out, away from the face in mane-like fashion, or laying close to the head, scooping decidedly across the forehead. The eyes, commanding and fearless with a sometimes trace of haughtiness, are usually quite beautiful with a soft and friendly expression. Normally brownish in color, they can also be blue or hazel and customarily possess a slight tilt at the corners. The eyebrows may be thick and rather well-formed while the teeth are usually white, somewhat large and evenly-spaced. The Leo nose is generally straight with a tendency to aquilinity (or a slight hook). The whole expression of these subjects is known to be leonine, combining a regal self-assuredness with an almost disdainful nonchalance. The Leo voice is full-toned and the speech pattern somewhat decisve and often quite commanding. In short, others tend to listen to Leo individuals and obey...partciularly when they "roar" like a lion. Often handsome creatures who take great pride in their good looks, there is a tendency for the Leo native to put on weight after a rather streamlined youth. The smile of Leo is customarily broad and beaming, the walk and carriage being rather regal...full of pride, dignity and, on occasion, somewhat pompous in character. Leo mannerisms are often described as catlike, and its subjects may be inclined to knead cushions and pillows or stroke such materials as velvet while licking the lips in abject satisfaction. Such natives may also unconsciously rub or scratch their necks and heads when upset or nervous.

To some extent, the above descriptions are influenced and affected by the qualities associated with the Decan into which the Leo individual falls. (To read more about the qualities associated with the Decans of Aries, please click on the link given below.)
A subject born within the First Decan (July 23 to August 1...also known as the Leo Decante of Leo), is likely to have a medium-tall to tall body which will tend toward being somewhat slim and wiry. An aquiline or hooked nose is common in these natives with a face that is often thin or narrow. The hair is usually combed back, flat at the sides with a greater length at the back and rarely possesses the customary lion's mane appearance usually associated with this Sign. The personality and appearance of this native is likely to exude a certain brightness and sparkle and there is an accented personal pride which is easily discernable by the erect walk and upward tilt to the head.

A subject born within the Second Decan (August 2 to August 11...also known as the Sagittarius Decante of Leo), is likely to be taller and /or larger than natives of either the First or Third Decans. Indeed, it would not be unusal for a male to be over six feet with an extremely broad body and a weight which is often well upward of 200 pounds. Natives of this Decan are impressive for their sheer size and even the females may well be as tall as five foot ten inches and husky in build. The face here is frequently described as rosy-cheeked and fair hair is exceedingly common, with the head being quite large. The smile is broad and beaming, revealing very large white teeth. These natives will need to watch their diets if they would avoid what could become a bothersome or even serious weight problem.

A subject born within the Third Decan (August 12 to August 22...also known as the Aries Decante of Leo), is likely to be rather short and stocky in terms of body shape. The nose is customarily either aquiline (or hooked) or what is described as button. Indeed, the short body and nose shape are the key physical elements in identifying the Third Decan Leo individual. Quick-moving, it is difficult for these natives to remain idle for even a short period of time and thus, they seldom need to be concerned about becoming overweight. While the features here tend to largeness, they are probably more angular than those of the other Leo Decans.

Short body and button nose sounds accurate.

WOW...that was deep as for the most part I really can see that as being me especially the part about the weight. I love food but I fear being fat as I have no problem with healthy size people but to be larger than a 14 at 5'9 would really bother me. From this post I am a second decan so it would appear wieght is something I really have to worry about not just because of family history but astrological as well

for the most part, i'd agree. there is reason to call bullshit too, however, because genes play a far greater role in what one ends up looking like.

i'm a 3rd decan. i'm slightly above average height, a little thick in (the right) areas, and i do have rather angular features. i mostly blame my mixed ethnicities.

The first part is more accurate for me than the decans - I wear a larger size shirt than pants size so dress-shopping is a nightmare. My hips are swimming in anything that fits my ribcage... I also still look young enough to get carded buying wine at the grocery store (I'm 37!) LOL... But I'm first decan and I have never been wiry by any means. I have a medium build tending toward athletic, and big "Jersey hair" - nothing like the "typical" first decan Leo apparently.

Holy crap I needed to bump this.

1. I'm 5' on a lucky day
2. My curves are immediate and dramatic - as with many petite frames
3. See that m*****f***ing button nose?
4. I've always felt like I had some Aries facial features (my jaw is so angled I could probably figure out the degree of angle it is!)
5. I'm ADHD.. so yeah I'm always running around everywhere.

The Leo I was/am/sometimes seeing, has shoulder length blonde hair, he's short, skinny, but nice arms from working construction. And his nose is a little big, but not wide, just long...biggest bluest most beautiful eyes you've ever seen

WOW, just wow! This couldn't be anymore spot on!

Most of the general mannerisms fit, but I think my physical appearance is closer to the 1st decan description more than 2nd (and I'm a 2nd by birthdate).

Isn't the ascendant supposed to have more impact on appearance than the sun sign?

Ive read that your Ascendant plays more into how you present yourself in a room; how you hold yourself, your expressive traits, your smile.. etc..

Either way for me, I'm a Leo through and through with my Sun and Rising.

Wow, this is mainly accurate, though I think 12/8-22/8 part is a bit off, I fit in that period, but compared to general population I am very thin and lengthy lol ... the main part is almost spot on, especially the shoulder/hip relationship bit... The "Roar" bit is funny but true ... when I have to roar I generally get what I want lol

Well, what about your Rising Sign? That definitely comes largely into play.

The decan states 'largeness with features' and 'always on the go, so low risk for obesity', not fat. I'm also very thin, but I have large features (eyes, smile, hips). I think that the description of the features can be taken too literally by some - including myself before rereading it a few times 🙂
