Nice
Love your videos
Love you Jon!
JONNN I HAVE A REQUESTTT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT OLLY OLLY OXEYN FREE?
Can you do Native American myths?! Please?!
Me: Doesn't believe in astrology
Also Me: Excited it's my sign's turn for a video
Relatable, lol😆
Lol me too
Me also 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same lol.
I think it's interesting to know and learn about but I don't believe in it. But also this is my sign and I'm here for it lool
Lol... same
A Leo here. You know how we apparently love hearing about ourselves so naturally I loved this video. Lol!
Can't lie. I was like UHHHH HE DOING ME NOW, LEZZZ GO!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YESSSSSS♌️🌻
@@lanestratarots Tried it with a Libra once. He couldn't even decide where to go out.
Now I'm butting heads with an Aries. That's a challenge worthy of a Leo.
Leo's for life.
@@Senzeni I'm a Libra and I'm still waiting for my sign! Also I can confirm that its hard for me to make decisions! Especally when it comes to what to eat.
Leo is my favorite Constellation.
In Africa, the lion is a symbol of royalty, unrivaled bravery, colossal strength and the great guardian. But it also represents destruction and wrath or vengeance.
sound just like me hehe
I'm sensitive to the people around me i love, but cross me and I'll take you down in the worse way I can.
@@canningscharles6392 that's a leo
Very cool, thanks for the info 👍
So me HAHAHA i would agree some leos out there might be the same WHAHAHA
I would appreciate an episode about the Epic of Gilgamesh; it’s an archetypal story…
The archetypal story.
Yeah, Jon is such a tease.
Do messed up origins of sweeney todd
Yes this is a must.
Yes please!
Being a Leo I clicked as fast as possible
SAME SAME 😩😩🤞🏼😭
Cus that's how we role
ong bro
@@24muneca3 fr
SAAAAAME
As a Leo myself, I find it concerning that most of the myths about Leo end in them being slain haha
That shit really do be doomingly unpleasant
Yhh ikrrr... Leo here as well. I mean like cheese trying to tell me we tht great. Damn
Trying to kill that pride and ego. 😂🦁💕
@@Yikes200 well thats not entirely wrong 😅
Cause we assholes
Demi-god: Repeatedly shows his strength by doing the impossible.
King: "You scare me! I forbid you to come into the city any longer!"
Demi-god: "Seriously?"
And really the Demigod in question was supposed to be king if said city but Hera made the cousin get born a bit prematurely. This caused him to fulfill the decree Zeus had made about the next of his descendants to be born would become king of said city.
Dude got jipped out of a kingdom.
I’ve never been so offended by something I 100% agree with
As a lion alpha main I don't agree with this at all its like calling us lions weak who even made these? I'd like the part better where lion rip this guy who "killed " head off
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm a Leo, born dead center of the sign. I've been waiting so patiently for this.
I think the sigil is supposed to look like the head and mane of the lion as seen from the side and at the most basic of stickman levels of talent.
A lot of my family are Leos with just enough other signs mixed in to keep family reunions somewhat civil.
🤣
Pfff, I’m also a Leo and my sister is an Aquarius. She hates all Leo’s and I have no idea why.
Woooow i finally see it ...it really does look like a lion's mane thank you so much for the explanation XD
@@lumity6269 my mom is an Aquarius, we're actually best friends.
Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
Though what kind of Leo you are and what kind of Aquarius she is could have something to do with it, I'm more likely to believe it's just sibling tension.
@@ladykoiwolfe nah she’s joking around. We have an amazing relationship
I've always thought I was an odd Leo because I never had the confidence or a leadership skill in me, years later when I found out what I wanted to do in life, I felt like needing to prove myself and make myself stand out more in my workplace and at college. I definitely feel that all of us Leos, have something in us that connects. Proud to be a leo! Also just earned a new subcriber! :D
Check your rising and moon ....it's not that simple
Why do that my lion friend when we can all be alphas to these weak zodiacs around us? I'm pretty sure we won them somewhere in the world
The only time I watch adverts, is when Jon does them.
Dude would make a killer ad exec.
So true, he makes them interesting... like a friend describing something really great that makes you see how great it is.
True that... I thought I'm the only one who watches his adverts!
@@ramakrishnanmanikandan4018 we should tell him he should charge the advertisers more.
"Leo's have a burning passion to prove themselves"
Damn, I feel severely called out. Lol
This video also explains why I have Daddy issues 😅
Love it.
Thanks, Jon :)
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I can agree, sis 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Same sameeee
I got a masters and become a therapist 1) because of my dream and 2) because I was always told I would never be able to do it. I feel attacked lol
My older brother is a Leo. Interestingly, me and and my older brothers are Gemini(June), Cancer(July) and Leo(August).
Astrology was a big thing in the 1970's when I was a preteen and a teen. Asking a potential boyfriend or girlfriend, "What's your sign?" was definitely a big deal.
Now I know the behind story of the scene in Disney's Hercules where Herc is posing for a portrait wearing Scar's skin. So, did he like just ask the hyenas from Lion King for it?😉
My older brother is also a Leo
Leo is also the 28th of July
Which is mine
I'm a Leo! My birthday was yesterday!
My best friend is a Leo and I'm an Aquarius
I’m a Leo and my two sisters are a Gemini and Cancer lol
Wait, are you willing to do a gilgamesh episode? I’d watch that three times!
I second that
I third!
4th ❤☘❤
100% yes! I've abosolutely loved everything I've read from the story. I would just need to decide on the format - like one BIG episode or several 15-20 minute ones?
@@JonSolo I feel an epic as literally coined the term should have an epic episode, but longer videos seem like they dont perform as well. So multiple parts helps you, and besides, if a tale can be told in a single sitting, it cant be _that_ epic can it?
Finally as a leo I was waiting for this forever Also I only care cuz lions are cool lol
I'm a leo and my birthday was on the 9th so I was anxiously waiting for you to do the origins of leo and thank you for the belated birthday present.
I was bron on the 9th too
Aug 1st here.
Mine was too!! So happy birthday birthday twin!!
August 9th here too! happy birthday, birthday twins!! 💕
6th here! Happy birthday fellow Leos!
YAAY☀️♌️
After the video: Yes, all things true. I wouldn’t say we have the need to please everyone, more so just wanting to protect everyone and make sure everyone is okay. It is said that we are boastful but honesty I love to make other feel the same. Guess it is practically the same in a way. I remember being a kid and always having a reoccurring dream of packing entire family up on a bus trying to save them from the end times or doomsday😆😭 Still to this day I always feel the need to protect and take care of everyone even strangers. It’s hurts to see someone down or doing bad. I never really understood the whole saying that we like the spotlight because most of us are introverted but people just naturally gravitate to us. I think the spotlight comes from just having good energy, generous, good heart, being loyal and people knowing that they can count on us at the end of the day whether it be money advise a clear mind etc! Good video bro 😎
I totally agree, being a Leo also. An introvert, some how I always end up with people wanting to hang out with me and I just don’t get it. Just want other people to feel good about themselves, try to be there when someone needs support. I have 2 biological children, but at least 4 others who call me mom. Boastful, yeah, but doesn’t make it any less true. 😉😂😂😂
@@ohthehorror6402 yes my peace is silence, admiring nature, things that are mentally stimulating. I consider myself very visual both mentally and physically.
As a Leo , we count every single moment like it’s a receipt from god , almost like a way to navigate thru good and bad times. We keep a level headed unbiased opinion on everything but ourselves because our love is 100% down to earth love. Our dreams could save the world because their so beautiful but we constantly remind ourselves to stay focused on what ever task we have so that we never get caught up in other peoples flaws. We groom and treat ourselves in ways “we” could only understand but our emotions are also a reminder we have to be careful
Description of the Leo sign was on point, I take immense pride in my struggles. The battles that count are not the ones that are rewarded with medals and gold. The ones that truly matter are the ones that are on the inside- that everybody has-those are the ones that matter.
Jon Solo: *posts a astrology explained*
Me: *sees it's about leo* Oh don't worry about Capricorns at all we can wait for the entire astrology wheel to end till we get to ours.
yeah we'll just wait, we're an earth sign after all
Capricorn gang!
He's got to save the best for last, after all!
Capricorn is the father of zodiac, not Leo 😂
He is going in order so don’t worry u will have YOUR turn soon enough
Hercules using the lion’s claw to skin the lion is today’s equivalent of someone saying “no u”
So we aren't going to talk about that Billie Eyelash burn. I laughed so mch I forgot what the ideo was about for a min
I was literally looking for a comment about this! 😂💯🔥 Ikr
I can’t wait until Jon does Assyrian/Babylonian/Sumerian myths.
Everyone wants to overlook the Middle East expect for when it comes to oil and trips to Dubai 😩
Yes!
100% agree. Our very oldest stories come from the middle east, the "cradle of civilization"
"That'd be like if I died to a overdose of bad music, and someone carved billie eyelash in my tombstone" this genuinely made me laugh 😂😂
I didn’t know anything about the history behind Leo in astrology until I clicked on this and it goes really well with the interaction I have in my head of what it represents and if a Scorpio were to meet Leo energy. I can’t wait to see Libra and scorpio history! Nice video! 👏✨
Hmmmm…… A winged beast with the face of a lion, bull horns, claws, talons, a serpentine tail, and a body covered in thorny scales that breathes fire? Sound familiar?
Btw could you do an episode about the Epic of Gilgamesh to introduce Sumerian mythology?
sounds like Karen ;)
A manticore?
@@yosojinuchiha9549 a dragon.
@@shawn980 no wait, but didn’t Asian dragons have the horns of a stag? And the head of a camel?
@@yosojinuchiha9549 not all dragons look the same.
I have always loved cats of all sizes and variety. My high school mascot is the lion. I am a Leo. (My birthday is in 3 days). This video was enlightening. When you described what Leo's are supposed to be like, I realized that mostly describes me. I never believed in the zodiac or horoscopes, so it was shocking that that part seemed spot on.
Ah, the one I was waiting for. - Leo
Me too
Here is one tried and true Leo, BUT what I have to say, you mentioned the darker aspects of being a Leo, yet there are many wonderful qualities as well, such as... Leos are warm and loving. We have captivating personalities, and have a way with words, and can speak eloquently on just about any topic. We are ruled by the heart and our actions are natural, effortless and genuine. When we are hurting, it shows, but admittedly we use our anger as a protective wall to shield our vulnerabilities and because we're scared of admitting vulnerability, needing things from other people, being incomplete... FULLY admitting there are some not so great qualities, but there are some really really beautiful qualities about us that you seemed to have overlooked... Jon, you did a FABULOUS job as always and I thoroughly enjoy your videos, I just wanted people to know there are some very loving and endearing qualities too!!! Bisous, Bisous
you are so right leo has good qualities but can be defensive at times.
Thanks 😊 so true
As a Leo, I LOVE that he described the darker and more forceful aspects of the sign!! I HATE modern astrologers for overly softening the sign with "warm, generous, attention-seeking, creative" cuddly crap. Those traits make Leo seem closer to some domestic cuddly cat or show kitty rather than the powerful, fierce, courageous LION it is.
So I really appreciated the more accurate description of Leo in the video. 👏👏👏👏👏💪😏♌️
I always thought that the circle was Leo's head and the wavy-line represented a-part of it's mane. ^^;
Me too, that's exactly what I see
You should talk the messed up origin of the 13th zodiac Ophiuchus.
I still dont get that one tho
I just finished binging through most of your back catalog and your presentation has gotten so much cleaner over the years. Not just from better equipment but you really seem to be having more fun with these videos than you did in the past. I had to come back and watch this one again because my wife is a Leo and I just love your content so much.
It’s amazing how the lion is featured in so many ancient stories and myths. But I think the snakedick lion is king lol.
I’ve been waiting for this one! As an August Leo I’d like to thank you for the birthday present
I'm really looking forward to Virgo!
Very well done sir. I am a Leo and I find this to be very accurate. And also I would definitely enjoy you covering Gilgamesh. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you for the episode John! Your content is always so entertaining and well made.
I enjoyed this. I'm a Leo and I feel like it represents me very well. I love to prove what I can do and how well I can do it.
Being a fan of all things mythology this channel has become one of my favorites. Great job!
This Leo is very happy today. I've been looking forward to this one since the series started. Loved it.
Yes do the story of Gilgamesh I think you would do a good job on him. I've got several of my family to start watching your videos my brothers really dig them and their kids do to. The funniest is my niece seeing where here favorite princess stories came from.
Love it Jon! Would love some dives into Gilgamesh! And star lore from other cultures too. I often wonder what other patterns can be made by humans looking into the universe...
I've been waiting for you to do this video like the conceded Leo that I am. Loved it❤
I'm a Leo. I never felt like the explanation of Leo fit me... but then I had my whole astrological chart done (for free online) and was blown away at how accurate it was.
I don’t really care about these but had to watch this one since I’m a Leo♌️ 🦁
Let’s goooooo Leo is my astrology sign. (I think astrology is fake but I also find it interesting. Just my opinion tho.)
Omg, thanks so much Jon Solo! I have been waiting for an Explained video about my sign! And you uploaded it on my birthday! Aw, such a great b-day present ☺️
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
As someone who has a leo bestie, I needed this to understand why she’s so messed up 😌
That's interesting. I always learned that Herc used the lion's claws to kill the lion, not just skin it!
You posted this on my birthday! Thanks. This is just the boost I needed. Also I was in Barnes & Nobel today and saw a table full of books on Greek myths and my first thought was Messed Up Mythology.
Thank you for uploading this video. I'm a Leo, so I've been eagerly anticipating this video. And it was uploaded on my birthday, even better!
Definitely do the Epic of Gilgamesh!
Virgo’s next- literally can’t wait 😂
Funny since Virgos are kinda known for their patience. Hmm...
@@CieJe.Alexander XD always thought the patient ones were libra
My 7 year old is a Leo and ya, I’d say the assessment is pretty spot on lol
I'm a Leo thru & thru. I believe in astrology big time!! I'm a true Leo who likes being in charge. Loves being spoiled & pampered with attention. Leos are fiercely loyal & protective. We do things in a big way & are very passionate about our beliefs. I love being a Leo.
LEO NATION ♌ 🦁
Can you talk about Geryon form Greek Mythology next! 🙃
I was waiting for this episode for so long!!! 🤦🏻♀️ I love it so much!! ❤️♌️
I've been waiting for this one!
I cant wait for next month YOU"LL BE DOING Virgo!!! :D
Maniac virgos
@@mountzion3562 Today is my bday 28 years old!!!! sooo yasss rise my VIRGOS!!!!!
The first leo lol
Love these videos!
YEAH! I've been waiting for this
I would definitely watch videos about Gilgamesh but, to do it justice, I think you will have to split it into two videos. Thanks
Yes!, please do the epic of gilgamesh!!
I really enjoyed that Jon Solo i feel like doing some tarot cards and a signs reading now :) cheers and thankyou as always:)
I have been waiting patiently for this video
Jon: "Making Humbaba a perma-virgin"
Me: Maybe I am a Humbaba
"leos are dominant, prove ppl wrong, kingly, firey, indemendad and highly skilled"
and im just sitting here
thinking about my 1.69m breedable ass
b1 in league
literally getting told what do to
and being fed everyday
I'm a Leo and I've been waiting for this vid. Loved it! Would love to see that Gilamesh vid too.
I've been waiting for this one man. I'm also a Leo and this is great.
I WANT THE ORIGINS OF OLLY OLLY OXEYN FREE. NENDJDJDJSND SCREAMSS
Omg shut up
here because am a Leo, today is my 30th birthday
I think your description of Leo was very accurate! Great job! Interesting video! 👍👌
I BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THISSS
While my sun sign is libra my moon sign is actually Leo. It really explains my fiery passions about certain things ((paranormal and horror movies)) as well as why I have a lot of trouble keeping my emotions in check sometimes.
So there is something that's been bugging me since you started the astrology videos. Not too be THAT girl but I feel like you're missing some things about the practice of Astrology. Astrology has a lot more to it than what's portrayed in mainstream. Astrology is when planets are in retrograde, it's moon phases and their impact on behavior and nature, and even eclipses effect astrology. But even better astrology isn't just about personality or seeing the future. Yeah there's a lot of voodoo humbah in it but I'm a nerd and like to learn about religion and wiccans use astrology for all kinds of things 🤷
Ok, so, like... I believe in astrology but I feel like you're just proving Jon's point about it all being mumbo jumbo. You think the guy who doesn't believe in astrology cares that wiccans and pagans believe it or use it? Guy talks about the nonsense of the Greek and Roman religions all the time, like, that's his thing. He's not going to give two shits about what the wiccans are doing when Mercury is in retrograde during an eclipse.
All is there to astrology is fake "science" and delusional people who blindly believe it
This one is my favorite so far. I’m always open to hearing about Gilgamesh.
I love watching your videos!! Do you have any videos of the Aztec Mythology? If not, will you be making any of those in the future?
This was very interesting, thx for the facts!
I've been waiting for this
I'm a leo and yes I think your assessments were pretty good and I especially like the story of Heracles.
Thanks for the info
You been doing you research bro this is so introspective 🦁
I have been very impatiently waiting for this video
As a Leo I must say this was very cool Video! I knew about the Greek Myth but I didn´t knew much about Umbaba, THANKS!
Yes! The full episode on the Epic of Gilgamesh would be awesome!
As a Leo, I LOVE that you described the darker and more forceful aspects of the sign!! I HATE modern astrologers for overly softening the sign with "warm, generous, attention-seeking, creative" cuddly crap. Those traits make Leo seem closer to some domestic cuddly cat or show kitty rather than the powerful, fierce, courageous LION it is.
It's the only sign in the Zodiac symbolized by an Apex predator and the only one ruled by the almighty Sun.
It combines the physical energy of a fire sign with the strength and determination of a fixed sign.
And THANK YOU for remembering about the obscure myth about the Nemean Lion biting off Hercules' finger! The Nemean Lion was the ONLY being (out of several gods, monsters, warriors) to ever significantly wound Hercules.
So I really appreciated the more accurate description of Leo in the video. 👏👏👏👏👏💪😏♌️
I'm not a pro, but the circle is the mane and the wrap around line is the loin's back to the tip of it's tail. So it's laying down, that's how I looked at it anyway lol.
Watching this reminded me that the first monster of The Epic of Gilgamesh isn't a monster at all, but the wild human Enkidu and the second was just a creature trying to guard its forest home.
Right! It's like civilization was the real evil.
Thank you for another grate video
2:49 never have I ever heard a description of myself so perfectly in reverse, wow
Really shows how accurately these stuff can be
I love your videos' I cant wait for the next oneeee!!!!
Enjoyable and humorous thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video:)
Bro I swear I love these vids 😭😭😭
About time I’ve been waiting for this one🦁♌️👹
Please do a full episode on Gilg please it’s so good!!
I've been waiting for this sign!
