Sure, Leos have big dreams and are ambitious. But they don't want to go out of their way to achieve their goals. They want things to simply come to them, without them having to push their limits. Leos have a superiority complex and feel that they deserve success and fame, and are not willing to work hard for it.
Virgo is a "hard-working, data-driven, and analytical Earth sign," according to Kirsten, who calls them "the true busy-bees of the zodiac." And while these intellectuals accomplish a lot, they don't need recognition like other proud signs (ahem, Leo).
Working with a Leo
You can always count on a Leo to bring abundant warmth and generous creative energy to the office. They love to feel as though their shine is creating warmth in someone else's day. Leos often excel at—and enjoy—giving presentations, so they don't shy away from public-speaking opportunities.
Leo (23rd July to 22nd August)
Leos top the list of workaholic zodiac signs. Governed by the energy of the mighty Sun, Leos spend their entire life acquiring authority and building legacy. Their prime concern is their family.
One of the weaknesses of the Leo star sign is the lack of self-awareness. A Leo often needs to be first and sometimes, they can't help but be first - even if it's at the expense of other people.
Leo being headstrong can be a toxic trait as well as a vulnerability. It could get them manipulated into doing something they don't want to do. That's why Leo needs to surround themselves with good people and also take constructive advice with an open mind.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
This sign's worst fears are to under-perform and to let people (including themselves) down. Their personal identity, including their confidence level, tends to be located entirely outside themselves. They take in other people's opinions as their own. But this can be a valuable lesson for Leo.
Leos can have an exaggerated sense of their own importance and entitlement – meaning they may feel that it is their right to partake to excess in every imaginable vice – alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling, and especially infidelity.
Actor. Given this star sign's love of the spotlight, it's no surprise that acting sits at the top of the list in our Leo career horoscope. With the confidence and charisma to engage an audience, taking center stage and being publicly recognized for their work will appease a Leo's need to be adored. What is this?
Leo by nature are deep thinkers as they try to seek a solution to each and every problem and they hate asking for help. Because of this they try to introspect and analyse situations by themselves and thus, indulge into overthinking.
Leos frequently perform really well at their jobs—and enjoy making keynote speeches they don't avoid speaking in front of groups of people. They typically want their co-workers and superiors to recognize the effort they consistently put in, as well as their skills and competence.
Leo is still certain her stress far outweighs yours. At her fiery core, Leo needs validation. And in times of mounting anxiety, she needs assurance that she is, in fact, the most stressed-out person earth.
Leo: Being the most dramatic in any group, they are constantly looking for attention. In the thirst for the attention, they might also do something really embarrassing. A little about them actually make situations enjoyable and colourful.
Taurus: According to astrology, the people of this zodiac get very angry quickly. When Taurus people feel bad about something, then they are not able to control their anger. Not only this, it becomes difficult to calm them down.
Aries. Aries is probably the bossiest zodiac sign you will ever cross paths with.
Gemini tops the list of the most stressed sun signs. Your stress can rise so much that even your body often feels the effects of your nervousness. You could find yourself over-communicating or intellectualizing your stressful emotions.
In professional relationships, Leos are known for being energetic, creative, optimistic, and ready to take charge. Leos are well-suited for leadership roles in professional environments, especially when they're given a lot of freedom and their skills match up to the task at hand.
As the sign ruled by the sun, Leos' traits include all the solar qualities of being warm, charitable, and luminous — so it makes sense that these opulent fire signs are gifted when it comes to gifting. Leos love to be loved, so they instinctively know how to make others feel celebrated.
These lions are natural leaders and they enjoy cultivating friendships and romances that are artistically and creatively inspired. Playful Leos have no problem leaning into drama-fueled romances that are perfectly suited for the tabloids. (In fact, they may even prefer them.)
Being the fieriest of the fire signs, Leos are a more flared version of Aries. They will express their anger in the loudest ways, will throw tantrums, call you names and say things that they know will hit you the worst.
Toxic trait: Undue drama
Leo is ruled by the sun and thus adept at commanding attention and shining a powerful light on causes and conditions close to their hearts.
Leo is the representative of the mental age group 28-35. They showcase their real personality. Leo has grown the mark they put up in childhood to hide their true identity.
Leos don't feel threatened by other people's success and are pretty secure and content with their lives. They only get jealous, when their loved ones, particularly their partner, don't pay attention to them and instead devote their energies on someone else.
If you're a Leo, it's likely that you don't often struggle with self-esteem issues. For others, however, the innate confidence of a Leo may be intimidating. "The core of Leo's trait to intimidate is their confidence," Mckean says.
Incompatible signs
Water signs (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio) and earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) might be more difficult for this sign to relate to, as their down-to-earth nature doesn't lend itself to the glitz and drama Leos crave.
