Astrology~ Descendant
By finding out your descendant -- or the sign that lays on the cusp of the seventh house on your birth chart -- you can reveal the motivations behind your attitudes toward marriage and partnership and better understand your instinctual attractions toward a particular kind of love mate. Since the descendant lies directly opposite your rising sign -- the sign that indicates the way the world perceives you -- it, in a way, represents the sort of person you feel will complete you, fill in the gaps in your life and help you to realize your full potential. It can also be thought of as sort of your alter ego, as the you that you show only to your most intimate partner.
Leo Descendant
If Leo lies on your Descendant, you're hunting for a mate who is as gregarious and sociable as you, but who possesses the sort of resolute confidence and emotional expressiveness that you sometimes feel you lack. Since you have Aquarius Rising -- a Sign associated with aloof intellectuality and humanitarian interests -- you need a mate who will counter your self-deprecating pride with their own brand of pride -- of a more effervescent, positive variety. You hold your own in the spotlight, assured and well-spoken. When the attention turns to your love life, though, to sharing your most intimate emotions with another person, you run and hide, fearful of being pinned down or caged; and yet you instinctually seek out romantic partners who are steadfast and loyal and who will worship you and spoil you with unconditional support and affection.
