The Sun is the Leo's ruling planet and because you were born in the first Decan, or part, of the sign, you have a double dose of the Sun's power. The Sun is the planet of integration and is directly linked to your vitality, creativity, willpower and ego. This may connect to the fact that you love to be praised and noticed by those around you. You do not shy away from being the center of attention, instead you are quite comfortable with it. The Sun's strong influence in your personality also explains why you seem to push yourself to be active constantly; you find no pleasure in being stagnant. This will drive you to great success in life.
