Like a crackling fire, Leos tend to be warm, passionate, and dynamic. They delight in opportunities to let their charismatic, inclusive personality shine. And like the lion that represents them, Leos are also strong, brave, and ready to dominate everything they set out to do.
The star of the zodiac
Typical sun in Leo traits include being confident, comfortable being the center of attention, drama-adoring, ambitious, loyal, fiercely protective of their nearest and dearest, generous, luxury-loving, sunny, and big-hearted.
Leos tend to be attracted to signs of obvious strength. They want someone who isn't just confident, but sophisticated. Their ideal partners are people who can not only formulate an intelligent argument, but can also present it in a smoothly and articulately.
They're delighted to embrace their royal status: Vivacious, theatrical, and passionate, Leos love to bask in the spotlight and celebrate themselves. These lions are natural leaders and they enjoy cultivating friendships and romances that are artistically and creatively inspired.
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. One can be taken aback by the way Leo fights and can get extremely hurt but they must know that Leos don't mean what they say when they are angry.
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.
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.
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.
Astrologically speaking, Leo are not usually compatible with water signs Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. They can often dampen Leo's fire, and conversely, Leo might come off as harsh for the emotional water signs.
So when you know who can be your Leo soulmate, you must also be aware of your Leo worst match. They are the people who belong to either Capricorn, Virgo, or Cancer zodiac sign. Their distinct characteristics make them good in their own unique way.
Warm and bright, Leo babies love hugs and cuddles. They love showing you how much they love you by hugging you, kissing you, laying down on the couch with you, and making their presence felt. In return, all they want is your attention, so be generous with the praise and encouragement!
As the fifth sign of the zodiac, fiery Leo is known for their ferocious and passionate attitude. Always one to embrace life to its fullest, the regal lion has a gregarious and jovial personality that others are often drawn to. Their self-assured, easy confidence comes down to their ruling planet.
A Leo likes being the center of attention.
It is important for Leo that their partner finds them funny and enjoys their ability to work the room (when they want to).
Arrogant, Pompous, and Patronizing
A Leo can act as if they're better than everyone else. They can be scornfully arrogant, disdainfully pompous, and speak or behave towards others in a way that seems friendly but also lets others know they are superior.
Leo woman traits will remind you of a lioness, the powerhouse of the zodiac. Women with this sign radiate loyalty, boldness, creativity, and courage. A queen powered by the Sun, the Leo woman is confident, assertive, and at times domineering.
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.
Leo = Not getting attention
Leos are used to standing out, so when they are not at the center of attention or getting any attention at all — it's devastating to them.
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.
The natives of Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, and Aries are believed to be the Leo zodiac soulmates.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Leo: Aquarius and Leo are opposite signs and are both known for being fiercely independent. They work as BFFs because they know how to simultaneously build each other up and give each other space.
Janelle is Leo's crush, girlfriend, and future wife in alternate timeline (Back From the Future). She sometimes appears to be charmed by his intentions, but most of the time, Leo makes her puzzled by his actions, and is often controlling of him. She is portrayed by Madison Pettis.
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.
Leos crave physical touch and get affectionate with their crushes. You might notice your Leo will go in for a longer hug or playfully swat you on the arm to make a point. Physical touch is his way of connecting with you and letting you know how he feels. Match your Leo's level of attention and affection.
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.
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.
