Disadvantages of the Group
Courage and boldness may degenerate, resulting int the individual becoming something of a despot or tyrant. These become arrogant, boastful and quite ruthless. Being born leaders, the subjects will attempt to be 'boss' whether they have the ability or not. At the same time they may attempt to take the credit for something that a subordinate may deserve. Ostentation, overindulgence , sheer vanity, and pompousness are apt to be in evidence. Their vanity is so great that they dislike anyone who does not wish to flatter them. They cling to established tradition, are very snobbish and patronising and may incline to meanness.

The Ideal for Success
A generous, tolerant kind of mind that always commands attention and great respect is the gift of the Leo personality. He is a very open minded person who is against any kind of secrecy. He is courageous and bold but inclined to be domineering and even tyrranical when the sign is badly placed. Thus, what is he needs wider expansion, without thrusting his dominant, aggressive will on subordinates or competitors. It would be desirable to preserve a careful equilibrium between the ambitions of the individual and the means he employs to achieve them.
