Leo · second decan · The generous lion who overplays the hand
The second decan of Leo takes the Sun's need for recognition and runs Jupiter's expansion through it. You're the warmest, most generous, most genuinely magnanimous of the Leos — the one who doesn't just want the spotlight but wants everyone at the party to feel lit up by it. There's a bigness to you that's real, not performance.
Jupiter, by way of Sagittarius, pushes Leo's natural confidence toward something more philosophical and outward-facing — you believe in people, in the grand gesture, in the vision that's bigger than the ego. That's the gift. The trap is that Jupiter inflates everything, and Leo's pride doesn't need inflating — so you can tip from generous into grandiose, from confident into convinced you're the most important person in any room, and from warm into performatively generous in ways that are quietly about your own image.
Your gift
A lion-sized heart backed by real vision — you uplift and you mean it.
Your watch-out
Jupiter turns the volume up on the pride; the grand gesture starts becoming about how giving you look.
