Some typical and not-so-typical behaviors of a Leo man expressing his feelings. Leos are known for being aggressive and straightforward people who don't hide their emotions; but, if they are in love with someone, they may act contrary to their regular demeanor.
Leos are emotional
While most Leos you know may pretend to be tough and rigid, they are emotional from the inside. A bad argument with their loved ones, and their heart will pound. They will act strong in front of the world but deep down they are extremely emotional people.
Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius and Pisces are ardent believers in expressing their emotions to their close ones. They believe if they do not communicate their feelings freely, their relationships will suffer a lot.
Leos are known to be generous, but they're also very competitive. A dark side Leo trait is schadenfreude —smiling inside when others are down on their luck. It's worse when they act like they're sorry, and it's over-the-top insincere. Leos throw temper tantrums, especially if they feel dissed.
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 (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.
Leo. "Fiery, passionate Leo's love language is definitely physical touch—these lovers need affection to be showered with affection," says Kavanagh. "They also appreciate quality time with their loved ones and words of affirmation, as Leos love to be loved in all ways."
Fire is also traditionally compatible with air, as the two elements share certain attributes, like being free-spirited, independent, speedy, and social. That said, a Leo often sparks with a fellow joie de vivre-filled Sagittarius, active Aries, or romantic Libra.
Leo's Favorite Body Part: The Heart And Spine
The back just might be where it's at for this fire sign. Next time you go in for a hug with your loved-up Leo, linger a while, running your fingers up and down their spine or in little circles.
Another sign that a Leo woman is hurt is that she'll become more critical of you. She may start picking apart your words and actions and may even find fault in things that she never did before. This is because when a Leo woman is hurting, she often starts to see the person who hurt her in a negative light.
Leo's emotions are dependent on their partners. They don't like being the one who puts in more effort, making them a little emotionally distant.
A Leo in love is very bold and will leave no doubt in the mind of their loved one about their feelings. Extremely forward and self-assured in nature, they can come across as aggressive in personal relationships. However, the positive in this is that there are no games played by Leos.
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.
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.
Leo. No sign is more theatrical about their sadness than Leo. They tend to lean so deeply into their emotions until they're about to burst, and will likely spend time overanalyzing exactly why they're sad and what they can learn from their sadness.
A Leo may get offended over minor things. His or her anger may scare off people but it's usually for some time. Their anger melts away within a few minutes, however, while they are angry, they might turn extremely nasty and rude. They may even stab you with their harsh words.
Believe it or not, Leo's biggest turn-on is feeling desired. Leos are so terrific in bed because they're enchanted by seduction—both giving and receiving. Leos purr at the idea of being wanted, which is why sexy tension is so important to this ferocious fire sign.
It's all about the back. A Leo loves having hands wrapped around them, back massages, and soft touches up the spine. Any back action will get a Leo's endorphins going, including around the shoulders.
Attention Seekers
Leos can be huge attention seekers and have a constant need for appreciation. They are self-proclaimed superstars and love to be in the limelight. They believe that they deserve nothing but the best and can be quite egoistic.
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.
Leos are known for being possessive and territorial.
Even small stuff, like you smiling at another guy or innocently chatting up someone he doesn't know at the bar, can make a Leo feel jealous. Leos can be aggressive if they feel threatened, so tread lightly. They aren't afraid to cause a scene!
It's no surprise that Leo cranks up the tone of huffing and panting in the bedroom as they adore to steal every eye while putting on a show. This sign even enjoys passionate verbal talks and can get all seduced hearing their partner.
Ruled by the Sun, Leos enjoy being the center of attention and it becomes rather easy for them to fall in love with a person who gives them what they want—undivided attention. They often fall in love too quickly, which makes it quite common for a Leo to fall in love with the wrong person.
05/6Leo. They are the biggest chatterboxes out there. If they start talking, they aren't going to stop. They love to be under the limelight the whole day, so they're under the impression that people love listening to them.
