Take Exam (Pay Later)Leo (Simha): The Monarch
The Essence
Leo is the terrifying realization that if you are not seen, you do not exist. Ruled by the Sun, it is the center of gravity for the entire zodiac. It is not merely 'ego'; it is the solar engine that keeps the system alive. Leo understands that leadership is a performance art, and power is a function of visibility. It demands worship not out of arrogance, but out of the biological necessity to shine.
