They’re sure to help lift others up even in the darkest of times.
5 | Leo

They’re one of the more optimistic signs because they believe in the natural goodness of all people. “Leo is like that singer on American Idol who is terribly tone deaf, and they get rejected by the judges, but they don't give up on their dream of being a famous singer,” Ryan Marquardt, astrologer and founder of Ryan’s Astrology tells Best Life. Even being in this sign’s orbit for a small amount of time will be an immediate mood booster.
