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

Fire is your sign’s paired element and as a Leo, you are the only zodiac sign with a cardinal relationship to the element. Fire’s influence is obvious when your passion and enthusiasm emerge. Whenever confronted with a challenge, no matter how great, your flame burns with fortitude as you reach your goals. These qualities of fire should be highly valued, but you should be aware of the dangers of impatience and impulsiveness that are amongst fire’s negative qualities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
