Strong Debaters Leos tend to develop a real fire in their belly when it comes to having their way. They can be extremely stubborn and dominating. They love a good argument and tend to be really good at it too.
Beware of getting too worked up with a Leo—you simply won't win the argument that way. They are passionate and creative, which means they have no issues thinking up rebuttals on the fly. The best way to argue with a Leo is to learn how to say less and get them talking more. Ask them questions and watch their responses.
Leo, being ruled by the Sun, and being a fire sign, is loud and clear when they're angry. They can be even more aggressive than Aries. They could use words that could cut you deep and will take things very personally. It could take some time for Leo to ground their anger.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
"Leos tend to argue about those things that personally affect them, as they [might not] really have much interest outside of themselves," MacGuire says. "They argue when their will is thwarted ... [and] they tend to strong-arm people into their way of thinking."
Ego, Anger, and Revenge
A Leo has a super fragile ego, takes everything personally, and can become hurt and angry at the smallest sign of disrespect.
They are not satisfied with life even when things are going spectacularly well for them. It is because they are thinking that life can always be better. Also, Leos love being the center of attention, and what better way to grab it than to start wailing.
Leo's tend to be very emotionally insecure in relationships. They live in constant fear of being taken advantage of or being cheated on. They can also be very jealous and possessive and demand constant attention and priority over other things in your life.
Leos can hold a grudge forever. They will definitely let you know that they don't want you in their life. However, if you can't take the hint or if you hurt them really bad, they will straight away push you out of their lives.
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.
Fortunately, Leos usually aren't trying to be rude—it typically occurs by accident. "Leos are proud and confident, which can certainly come across as rude in the right circumstances," says celebrity psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman.
Not the most patient with being told what to do or others' opinions about their lives, Leos have a notorious reputation for being short-tempered.
Leos are fierce, dramatic and can be your biggest opponents when it comes to a disagreement. Even if the matter can be resolved calmly, Leos will look for a way to glorify and intensify it, especially if you've hit a soft or vulnerable spot.
Leo is all fire, while Aquarius is known for being cold and detached. “Leo, a sign that runs off of passion and lots of affection, will be heartbroken at Aquarius' independence and coolness,” Comet says. Aquarius is also the humanitarian of the zodiac and is very passionate about changing the world.
A Leo can forgive anything but being ignored is not one of them. They like to be acknowledged and appreciated. Ignoring a lion is like asking to be mauled. Don't do it – even in spite – they will never forgive you.
Allow them to vent.
They'll burn off some of their initial anger and reduce a lot of their frustration this way. After venting their frustration, Leos will become more receptive to rational thought. Avoid interrupting a Leo who is venting. Give them the spotlight and allow them to say what they need to say.
Leos are the most controlling out of all the zodiac signs simply because they believe that it is "my way or the highway." They appreciate beautiful people and things and wish to be admired for possessing them. Leo is always eager to brag about their acquisitions, and they manage to make being a show-off endearing.
If you hurt a Leo woman, she's likely to become more guarded around you. She may start to keep her true feelings and thoughts hidden from you and may even start to put up a wall between you two. When a Leo woman is hurt, she often feels like she can't trust the person who hurt her.
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 turn ons
The sound of applause. I say this literally, because to be applauded is the ultimate in terms of positive attention, but, really, any compliments, flattery, or positive attention makes Leo happy. You're a big proud lion at heart, and you love to be loved.
Leo: Sorry, Not Sorry
Since Leos are known for being larger than life, they have a tendency to step on people's toes or forget to consider other people's feelings. However, a Leo feels it's unfair to ask them to apologize for simply being who they are. In their minds, you can either love them or hate them.
A Leo's initial reaction to an unexpected split is often complete shock that someone could lose interest in them, followed by devastating anguish. During a breakup, Leos feel as if their sun has been eclipsed. It's a totally heart-wrenching experience, and these lions aren't afraid to showcase their suffering.
06/7Leo. Leos are very confident about themselves and know exactly what they are worth. So, when their ex mentions about a possible breakup, they will immediately move on right then and there, because to Leos, their self-worth is much more important than bowing down to hurt and past grudges.
Who are Leos most compatible with? Leos tend to gravitate towards fellow fixed signs, Scorpio and Aquarius. Scorpios understand Leo's need for loyalty, and they both crave a lot of intensity when they're dating someone.
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."
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.
