Leo decan 2: the decan lords of both systems
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Leo decan 2 · ราศีสิงห์ เดแคนที่ 2
Chaldean decans
Leo decan 2 covers 10°00′–19°59′ of Leo, the middle ten degrees. In the Chaldean system each ten-degree slice has a lord called the face, and here it is Jupiter.
Jupiter as face lord makes the middle of Leo generous and large in scale. Warmth turns into hosting, teaching, encouraging and handing out credit. Confidence runs high, and plans get bigger than the calendar can hold. The pride of the sign shows up as loyalty to people and ideals you believe in, and you are quick to say so in public. You tend to be the one who makes an occasion feel like an occasion, and the one who offers more than was asked.
A planet here tends to emphasise generosity and confidence in the big picture. In practice, you host the birthday, tell the team how well they did in front of everyone, and propose a trip that is a little too large for the time you have.

Triplicity decans
Leo decan 2 covers 10°00′–19°59′ of Leo, the middle ten degrees. In the triplicity system its sub-sign is Sagittarius, and its lord is Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Sagittarius.
Leo coloured by Sagittarius adds scope, humour and belief to the warmth of the sign. Confidence is open and optimistic, and the performance is meant to inspire. Plans are bigger than usual. Honest speech, loud enthusiasm and a love of travel and teaching fit here. Where plain Leo wants to be admired, this part also wants to be a good example, so generosity tends to arrive with a message attached.
A planet here tends to emphasise enthusiasm and teaching by example. In practice, you give a talk that leaves people encouraged, plan a group outing with a theme, and tell the story of the trip with plenty of humour.

Note
The two systems count in different ways, so their results can differ; they do not contradict each other.
