Stereotypes In Astrology

Up in the twinkling night sky of the cosmos marvels a constellation of a Nemean Lion that I wholeheartedly relate to. In astrology, the fifth zodiac sign, Leo, originates from this constellation. During my youth, while buried under blankets, I fervently read horoscopes and zodiac personality descriptions in magazines. On a similar note, many children struggle to decipher their own identity and luckily, exploring astrological stereotypes tremendously helped me comprehend the inner workings of my mind.
