Famous Men and Women with Leo Ascendant
Selena Gomez

The most followed woman on Instagram would have this placement. As we mentioned, Leo Risings command attention with little to no effort, so everyone in Selener's loyal following is simply another recipient of Leo Rising radiance.
2Drake

Champagne Papi once said, "I might be too strung out on compliments/Overdosed on confidence," and I'd go so far as to say that line should be the official Leo Rising motto. Write it in stone!
3Justin Timberlake

Let's throw it back to JT's boy band days in *NSYNC and collectively appreciate his star power from the jump. Asking a Leo Rising to fade into the background is like asking a fish to walk. That sh*t's not natural.

4Catherine, Princess of Wales

If anybody's built for royal life, it's Leo placements. Their Sun-shiny demeanor (a given, because that's what planet rules their birth chart) is the perfect fit for handling photo calls, public engagements, and inspiring speeches.
5Jake Gyllenhaal

Leading men need leading man birth chart placements, and it looks like Jake is in luck. His Sagittarius Sun coupled with his Leo Rising gives him a fiery "can't-miss" energy that's perfect for the big screen.
6Demi Lovato

Triple Leo alert! This singer's a Leo Sun, Mercury, and Rising. If I had to guess, I'd assume that this combo would make them the best dinner party host ever, but hey, that's just my take based on the Leo M.O.

7Meryl Streep

The Queen of Hollywood holds the record number of Academy Award nominations of any actor. Hey, Leo Risings are natural winners, but extra gold trophies to prove that fact don't hurt.
8Robert Downey, Jr.

Please refer back to the "leader of the pack" energy that we ID'd for Leo Risings. Could any other placement be the Avengers' head honcho? I'd say maybe an Aries, but Rob's got that in his chart too.
9Blake Lively

Okay, like, just look at her. That's the Sun personified, people. Her portrayal of the Queen of the Upper East Side (don't fight me on this, Blair stans) was only right.

Yes, Cruella herself is another member of the Leo Rising league. Her Scorpio Sun (another fixed sign) makes her determined and hardworking as hell. Her filmography backs it up .

Vanessa's one of those forever "it" girls. Whether she's galavanting at a music festival or starring in an iconic movie franchise, it's all eyes on her.
12Reese Witherspoon

Just wanna take a quick poll and ask the question: Do we thing Elle Woods would also be a Leo Rising? The clues are all there.

Tyler is def an artist who blazes his own trail—musically, fashion-wise, and beyond. That's a Leo placement for ya.
14Aubrey Plaza

Audrey's dry, sardonic humor may not signal Leo energy immediately, but her ability to steal the show in every project she's in sure does.
15Alexa Demie

C'mon, everything this woman wears and says onscreen catches on like wildfire. That is a trendsetting Leo Rising just doing her thing.
