Interesting - I'm a Leo w/ Scorp Ascendant as well.
I was talking to my mom a while ago and it came up that one of my teachers from grade 1 or 2 thought that I was arrogant as a child. Admittedly, I was a quiet kid, but this revelation was pretty surprising, as I never felt that I came across that way.
Seems like a pretty accurate description overall, sometimes I have problems with authority at work too haha.
