About This Quiz

Prideful, loving and always the center of attention, Leos are known as the pride of the signs. Do you actually live and think like a Leo, though? Look to the stars during this quiz, and you'll find out if you embody most of Leo's traits or if you lean toward another sign. 

Sometimes, our environment and experiences supersede the date we were born. Sometimes, we're less like our birth sign and more like the signs around it. If you've ever checked your horoscope and thought that it seemed a little generic, you might have more in common with another of the signs. Once you answer these questions designed to draw out your inner lion, we'll be able to tell you if you're really a Leo or if you should have been born at another time of the year. 

An average horoscope site can tell you what you are supposed to be like, but they don't take your personality into account. They simply look at the day you were born and lump you in with all the other August babies. As a Leo, you know you are far more unique than that, and here's your chance to prove it. 

Are you actually a Leo, or are you getting the wrong readings for you? Take this quiz, and find out!
