She is regal, lion-hearted, bright, shiny, radiant, illuminating, effervescent, charismatic & sometimes even famous! She loves fun, play, pleasure, entertainment, revelry, costumes, performances, speculations, drama, passion, lust, fire & fierceness. She purrs. She roars. She most certainly loves her hair!
“She is warm, fiery, passionate, courageous. When she dresses, she aims to make an unforgettable impression & does, every time. Eyes turn when she enters a room. When she speaks, people lean forward to listen. She likes the finer things. Style matters. She is exquisite & graceful, loving luxurious, expensive, exclusive, tasteful items for herself & her home. She desires the best & believes she is worth it. She is self-assured, has an easy confidence. She loves timeless fashion classics & can also carry off dramatic pieces. She loves the sensual feel of silk & cashmere, perfectly tailored suits, floor-length dresses dripping with jewels, shimmering necklaces. Her hair is her mane & she is proud of it. A daughter of the Sun, she loves a tan. She is not into plastic surgery. Her pride balks at this. She believes she is fabulous just as she is. She loves the spa, pampering, luxury & adorning herself regally.” - Astro Twins
She can sometimes be egotistical, domineering, stubborn, vain, childish & a temperamental diva who likes to perpetually be the center of attention, but run on her highest vibration, She has a heart of gold & as the Lioness rules as Queen of the Jungle & the Plains. Enough said.
