HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your sign’s paired element is fire and as a Leo, you are the only zodiac sign with a cardinal relationship to the element. The influence of fire is strong with you, as you take to new tasks with a burning passion and energy. Even in the face of great challenges, your flame never falters, instead only motivating you to work with more determination to meet your goals. Embracing the positive qualities of fire can become one of your greatest assets, but be aware of fire’s negative influences, which include impulsiveness and impatience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
