I agree with a lot of what you said, and have had a lot of similar experiences
There was some weird sexual stuff growing up for me. Not gonna get into it just saying it because it's relevant to your post lol
Never really had any major sicknesses, just flus and stuff like that sometimes, but I've noticed the vitality and energy that I think comes with this ascendant too. I think that may also somewhat be tied to stubbornness...but in a good way lol. Just like "nah fuck you I'm gonna keep at it and keep coming at you because I can". That stubbornness can be a negative when we don't know when to quit but when applied to the right areas and causes it's great
I've got the Leo ascendant hair too lol, one of the main things I get comments and compliments on. It used to be kind of light brown but has turned dark brown as I've gotten older. It's really thick hair and I have this huge natural cowlick in front that everyone thought was me styling it like that, but that's just how my hair is lol. My dad used to shave my head in elementary sometimes or keep it very short, especially in the summer but sometimes at other times of the year too. Which I kind of hated because I thought it looked like shit but I was too un-confrontational to complain and say I didn't want it. Looking back on it maybe my Leo ascendant felt out of whack without my mane lol. So of course having your head attracts attention from kids, some positive some negative. Some people would give me shit for it sometimes, but not really. Sometimes girls would want to feel it because it felt prickly and weird and they were curious lol
"But yet we come around just being ourselves and people turn their nose up at us or want to size us up.."
This 100% It was always a subconscious thing but I felt it. I got into a fair amount of fights in elementary school. I wasn't always completely innocent in the situation, but sometimes I was. This one kid got jealous I guess because we were playing football at recess and I guess we won or something. Things got kinda heated at times when we were playing but it was nothing serious, or so I thought. That's just how it goes when you're competing. Anyways this kid tried to sucker punch me out of nowhere and I slipped everything and landed everything and that was that lmao. And then growing up through my teen years people always thought I was trying to puff myself up or something and I seriously never was. Like I'm a Leo ascendant but I'm also a shy Pisces sun/Virgo moon deep down and usually like to keep things pretty low key. I've had "friends" who think I'm like trying to hit on their girl or something just because I'm being me and being friendly. It was frustrating. So sometimes I'd try to kind of shrink myself down out of the spotlight as much as possible, but it never really works lol
I've had some great friends in my life, and I have this one friend who is seriously like a brother to me. But most of my friends or people I hang out with come and go. Idk how much of that is due to my Leo ascendant in my case though, I think I might just be too easy come easy go, go with the flow
Also All Eyez on Me is one of my favorite Tupac songs lol, probably because that's life as a Leo ascendant. And even when eyes aren't on you it feels like it

I had wrote this in much detail, but then I accidentally deleted like 70% of what I typed and had to retype it..
So I was meaning to type about the hair being cut maybe over and over... And you just said it. Yeah, a Leo rising may find themselves having to cut the hair more often than others, or if your parents aren't into long hair.. They keep it up. Like man, it's thick and healthy, why would your dad want to cut it? Plus it might grow low onto the neck..
But yeah, kids are hella threatened by a Leo Rising child thriving in competition.
I know a Gemini dude, Leo rising that's like 17 or 18 and he plays football.. He's cool as hell, comfortable in his skin .. But he let's the haters get to him.
He has no reason to be insecure at all, but you can see all the hate is just starting to mold into his young brain.. He's been gang stalked and everything. He's a good dude, I don't see why somebody would wanna jump him for...
Shit pisses me off..
But friends come and go for me too.. I don't keep friends for long.
Also check out Kat Williams who is this Leo rising black guy.
Super flashy and charismatic.. Such a swaggering soul.
A lot of mothafuckers hate on that man. He's just doing him.. He got a skit about haters and that's that Leo Rising getting pissed off all over ...
So you dress real flashy, or have nice fabrics you like to wear? Just not like the average man, but unintentionally?
Idk if I'd say I've ever dressed particularly flashy. I do occasionally break out like a nicer dress shirt made out of some cool, weird fabric, but not a whole lot. I do kind of enjoy dressing up a bit when situations call for it but just in general I keep it pretty basic. That probably partly comes from that feeling I talked about earlier of not wanting or caring to attract more attention than I already do. But I have always been pretty conscious of what I'm wearing and do like to add some kind of unique twist or something different even if it's still pretty basic, if that makes sense lol
This reminded me of something I was going to say earlier but I forgot, back in the early 00's when I was in elementary I got a pair of blue old school vans. Nobody was wearing these at the time around my age group, and at least not in the small town I was going to school in at the time. It wasn't the original plain vans, but the ones with the white flowing v on the sides. I had had a pair a few years back when I was reeeally young and remembered them and liked them so I got another pair the next time I was able to get a new pair of shoes, I got the blue ones. I was the only one wearing them at my school and I wasn't really seeing them around anywhere, though granted I was just a kid. Then one of my friends got a pair. Then another kid...And I shit you not, within a few weeks at most there were too many pairs on campus to count. Coincidence? Idk man...vans in general got really popular everywhere from there on out and that obviously wasn't because of me lol, but the timing sure was strange. And either way, I found it kind of lame that so many people just copy catted each other's style s, whether it was me originally or not. I don't trip on any of that stuff anymore really because there's way bigger shit to worry about lol, but as a kid I just found it lame
But yeah anyways, I used to kind of run into some trouble because of my Leo ascendant and try to kind of tamper it down (without really knowing I was consciously) but within the past couple years I've just kind of said fuck it and know I might possibly ruffle some feathers and there's really I can do about it. As long as I know I'm coming from as warm, caring, and sincere a place as I can, then whatever, there's nothing else I can really doclick to expand

But you make it seem deeper then it is. Way deeper. Although everyone has a different experience, depending on their chart, Leo Rising is not a sign that gets to see the abusive side of life. Just saying.

I always thought i was inadequate until i realized the motivations of others.
Cancerian at work always tries to find flaws with how i use my mind and openly laughs at me. I am very straight forward though and call it how it is with him and he soon backs down.
I am CanBull by the way. I once mentioned my story here and a 50-50 of people here either tried to just acknowledge it or others would try to tear me down. Due to how painful and disturbing it is people assume attention seeker or "he is a Cancer" Fact is i never fail. I fall but i never stay down. They cannot fathom this because they are truly insecure. Scorpio's here await people with strength to target, they pull in people who are susceptible to being under someones wing. This is their false power which is built around insecurity. But as a water Sun they can't remove the basic imprint of stereotypical Cancerian energy to see who i really am. I see them all for who they are. Some Scorps are blissful though. Had the same experience with them in real life too.
Scorpio anything ends up in my 4th house so they are fucked if they think they go unnoticed.
I was utterly destroyed as a child and only last christmas i ended the purportrator for good.

To finish my testimonial i would like to gave an advice, mainly for leo sun rising leos out there..
Did you find somewhere in your life that are certain regions of the globe that we get along very well or we adapt very quick? I think there is. Since i born in south europe, in a mediterrain sun mid high temperature, i couldn t produce like i do know where i am. We leos like the animal are lazy, and in high temperatures and high humidity locations we tend to ve lazy as fk.. i moved to north 10 years ago always in my country, to a more
Cold environment and it was perfect for me. Professionally i made a jump lile crazy. Do not forget this. We ruled by the sun and in a cold location you wiil be the light 😉 would like to hear some toughts about this, and if someone moved during some point of life, and share.
I graduated in Central Florida and wouldn't move back unless it were for a job or a partner. The humidity was hell on my hair and the people there were more outgoing and into social networking/group selfies etc than here where I grew up in Missouri, where it's easy to be left alone (my preference)click to expand

Most Leo Risings often have a rough early life in the home; due to the 4th House being in Scorpio.
Pluto may also end up in the 4th house with this particular Ascendant - bringing Plutonian vibes at home or in other people's home they are accompanying.
A Leo rising may experience sexualization in the household at an early age.
Seeing their first penis or vagina, whether on purpose/maliciously or not, before understanding themselves sexually. Witnessing sexual organs of others at a shy age may have been predatory or not - but either way, a Leo rising is flashed and familiar with sexual body parts of either sexes as early as the age of 5 or 6.
Verbal abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, molestation, physical abuse, absent parent, sexual abuse, and bullying.. A general pain coming from the home.
As a child they can experience trauma and mortal wounds at home, dealing with the head. Even sickness.
Lips, eyes, nose, teeth, throat, scalp and brain.
A Leo rising child may even catch Meningitis.
As a kid, I had Scalp Ringworm at about 8 years-old. It was all over my body but it was diagnosed from the scalp. It was discovered after my mom was attempting to do my hair one night.
I had a crunchy, scabby scalp due to a parasite and had to use a special soap and shampoo for a month - a nightmare you don't want your kid to experience.
I also experienced a sickness in the head that didn't allow me to stand up for long or play. It was like I was retaining fluid in my head, I was dizzy and always sleeping.
My head would hurt as soon as I sat up from the bed. I was still about 8 years-old..
But I mysteriously just healed on my own..
Leo rising is gifted with great vitality and athleticism, overcoming most sicknesses all on our own.
I also busted my lip a lot as a kid, or had a scratch on my face..
**
The main thing about the Leo Rising child's hair is a the mane.
Black kids of the ghetto ENVY a child in class with DARK, THICK, WAVY AND HEALTHY hair.
I had the barettes, bom-boms, braids, and ponytails as a shorty..
I don't know if I wore my hair like Snoop Dogg, or Snoop Dogg wore his hair like a child.. They world may never know.
Your mom may have always brushed/combed it, style d it, braided it, washed it for you, or permed/pressed it.
Her friends and family may have always fawned over your hair as well.. It doesn't necessarily have to be "good hair", but the hair is thick and prominent out in some way. A very well-shaped head and beautiful facial structure as a child.
Your hair might have rewarded you so much attention - that the attention wasn't always positive. A Leo rising child may often find themselves having to constantly fend off bullies.. Kids are cruel sometimes.
For example, my hair earned me bullies growing up.. Really just haters.
A kid had put gum in my hair one time, others tried to quietly cut it with scissors at school, and I have also had about 8-10 dunk chocolate milk on my head at lunch one afternoon - all in 2nd grade.
I went through a lot that year in 2004, as a kid. The bullying, the injuries, the sickness, the sexualization.
**
Anyways, it's a lot of unexplained abuse, haterism and envy with Leo rising people..
And I hate to be a victim, but I honestly don't think we deserve it. This rising sign is generous, approachable, inviting and has integrity.
But yet we come around just being ourselves and people turn their nose up at us or want to size us up..
We we're destined to be these people of flamboyancy.. People look at us like "who the fuck that motherfucka think they is?", but as a Leo rising I was gonna do this ANYWAY..
I was not TRYING..
The bling, the charm, the charisma, the flashy clothes, colors and patterns.. Came NATURALLY to us.
Leo Rising at it's best is described as-
proud, determined, wilful, loyal, solemn, generous, ambitious, courageous, heroic, full of vitality, creative, confident, seductive, happy, daring, majestic, honest, magnanimous, charismatic, responsible, noble, brilliant, radiant, dramatic, affectionate, full of humour, demonstrative, swaggering and self-confident.
Leo Rising at it's worst is described as -
domineering, conceited, touchy, authoritarian, stubborn, intolerant, self-centered, irascible, violent, and nonchalant.
According to ASTROTHEME.
But you never ever see that Leo Rising is described as JEALOUS, HATEFUL, AND ENVIOUS. Never.
I can admit to being jealous in relationships, over shared attention from my lover.. But I have never been jealous of who someone is, or out to get a person because I think they are better than me. I am happy in my skin and I don't believe in people being better than myself or others..
I never understood that shit.. People have died at the hands of envy. It's a dangerous trait to have, I hope y'all out there get some fuckin help and security within yourselves.
Leo Rising presses the most insecure people.
It is said over and over in traditional astrology that Leo Rising can't go anywhere without being noticed.. Wouldn't that press someone that's insecure? You just simply walked into an establishment, a party or house and everyone in there has given you attention
It is no doubt that I constantly have all eyez on me
As a Cancer sun, I require more alone time because of this Ahaa.. It's a gift and a curse.
A Leo rising may never truly have friends.. Those friends might secretly don't even like you, or wish they were you. Trust me.
I proudly don't have friends.
I have certain people I kick it with, but I do not have a best friend.. I don't have a ride or die that I'm always with everyday. I simply can't trust others because I see how they look at me..
I've been a victim of jealousy too many times.
I'm sure any Leo rising has.
If a Leo Rising does have friends, they are either more successful or just as successful but overall happy within themselves and with their lives.
That's the type of friends a Leo Rising requires. They need equals and awesome beings for friends.. Anyone else will eventually spite them.
It's not easy for us.
A Leo rising should stay away from fat people, broke people, alcoholics, unattractive people, basic and trend following people, and COPY-CATS.. Every Leo Rising has a copy-cat.
I think that's where that term comes from.. A person that knows a Cat rising, also trying to BE a Cat Rising.. AHA.
Leo ascendants astrologically should also stay away from DARK-SIDED;
Scorpio Rising, Capricorn Rising, Scorpio energy, Capricorn energy, Taurus energy, Libra suns, Cancer energy, and possibly Aquarius energy.
-Leo rising makes these people feel very threatened, insecure and hateful.
May have a fair-deal with Aries energy.. But beware of Aries competition.
