Your approach to life
Your approach to life is generous and wholehearted. You meet the world as if it might be a stage, and you often end up leading, hosting or representing a group. You may feel pressure to always be “on”, so it helps to have people around you who like you just as much when you are quiet.
Your chart ruler
Leo is ruled by the Sun, so the Sun becomes your chart ruler. This links your Rising sign closely to your Sun sign. The house your Sun falls in shows the area of life where you most want to shine.
Your Rising sign is also known as the Ascendant, the point of the zodiac on the eastern horizon at your birth.
