Leo calms down when Leo wants to calm down. In other words, being hyped and overwrought is part and parcel to being Leo, so it's all part of the act; calm them down by applauding them, no matter how awful they get.
Leo: Lavish attention on them
Being treated as important gives their sense of self a boost, taking their mind off whatever worried them. To be reminded that they matter makes them feel significant, and like the kings and queens they are. The best part is that they give back the love they receive.
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.
07/13Leo. 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.
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 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. What is this?
She'll become more guarded. 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.
"Leos will often pretend that things don't stress them out, but they totally do," says Gat. "They're kind of similar to Aries in that once they become irritated, anything can throw them over the edge, but they're also kind of similar to Cancers in that they really like to nurture people.
02/6Leo. 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. They can use verbal slangs, accusations or even cross boundaries.
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.
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.
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.
"The way to a Leo's heart is through their ego. Flatter them, make bold advances towards them, show them off proudly and let them show you off," says Comet. Be sure to give a few compliments and let them be dominant, taking the lead in situations (especially in bed).
Leo. Actions often speak louder than words to you, Leo. And you're bound to approach apologies with the same fervor for doing, rather than saying: "Leos often apologize through a grand or romantic gesture or by showing extra affection," says Murphy.
According to Comet, Leos would be hurt most by a partner who wounds their ego. "Leo is a proud sign," she says. "If their partner does something to make them look dumb, especially publicly, this is unforgivable for them." As a fixed sign, Leo also values loyalty.
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.
When there's a fight going on, Leo processes things in their head before speaking them out with other people, says Holmes. “They also try to anticipate people's needs so they don't have to have conflict,” she adds. Plus, when Leos know they've done something wrong, they're usually quick to apologize.
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.
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.
They are very decisive, so it is hard to change their mind if they are set on seeking revenge. If someone takes a person or thing that is dear to them, Leos will not stop at anything until they get their things back and will also stab you by drawing you towards their trap.
So, if your Leo guy does not pay any attention to your needs and wants, it's a red flag on his commitment to the relationship. He's least bothered if you fall sick. He might feign some concern over a call but wouldn't bother doing anything to make you comfortable.
Those with a Leo sun sign are driven by their ego and are deeply hurt when it is wounded. They frequently develop an unjustified sense of entitlement due to their pride and they enjoying flaunting a sense of privilege. As a result, these individuals frequently struggle when required to obey directions from others.
Leos are recognised for being active, inventive, positive, and eager to take leadership in work interactions. Leos are well-suited to leadership jobs in the workplace, especially when they are allowed a lot of flexibility and their talents are a good match for the job.
Generally, the most compatible signs for Leo friendships and romantic relationships are fellow fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) as they'll match their passion and heat. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) also have dynamic, fast-paced energy and could work well for a Leo.
