Leo Decan 1 Rising ( 0º to 10º )
According to the fixed star interpretations, this ascendant is not very positive, and there can be violence present. The majority of the time, it occurs in relationships where there is ‘violent lust’. However, is apparent that there are two sides of the same coin in a list of natives that include both both Aleister Crowley and Edgar Cayce. Out of pain and addiction can come the healer! Out of struggle comes strength.So then it is common for Leo 1 to have very challenging, obsessive, dramatic relationships. They can sometimes inspire art. Talent and prophetic ability are here, usually passed down from their ancestors.
Leo Decan 2 Rising ( 10º to 20º )
These individuals are either extremely confident in relationships or suffer from a total lack of ego. Sometimes they are attracted to extremely egotistical and larger than life characters. However, even the most insecure of these will be perceived as bossy, since they feel confident only if they have complete control over their partner. With this mother bear energy, Leo 2 rising will easily become the parent and caretaker of the relationship. Their appearance is very often glamorous or theatrical, and some of them may have golden hair or be known for their wild locks.
Leo Decan 3 Rising ( 20º to 30º )
Without a doubt, this must be the most authoritarian ascendant you can have. This is the boss no question. Not everyone born with this decan rising has to be typically bossy or domineering, but they are natural born leaders. This decan demands loyalty and 200% devotion. Their demeanour will be very upright and regal too and they will be the sort to carry ‘airs and graces’. The daring, impulsive leaps and courage are most pronounced in their love relationships. A pouncing action will be one of their bedroom tricks! Be prepared to be hunted and stalked relentlessly. This decan is the typical man-eater.
