Simha (Leo)

Simha (Leo) rising

With Simha rising you are tall and well built, broad in the shoulders and forehead, with strong bones and a dignified, commanding presence, and you are seldom pot-bellied. Surya (the Sun) rules your lagna: you are noble, generous and large-hearted, happiest at the head of things, and you inspire loyalty in colleagues and subordinates; you listen patiently, judge wisely, and forgive and forget. You want honour but not false prestige, you are at your best against obstacles, and your will is fixed once set. The weak points are pride, a soft spot for flattery, generosity that leaves you short and haste in forcing conclusions, so keep a bank balance and beware of flatterers. Fortune is kind in youth, and you tend to hold high positions long.

The Moon in Simha (Leo)

Chandra in Simha gives a proud, warm and generous heart that needs respect and likes to be seen: you feel grandly, stand by your own and carry yourself with dignity. The mind is steady once set and bold in company; hurt pride is what upsets it most.

The Sun in Simha (Leo)

Surya in its own sign Simha, its moolatrikona in the first twenty degrees: the self is strong, dignified and made to lead, and authority, the favour of the state and a father of standing come naturally, as long as pride does not outrun judgement.
