Leo's Elemental Nature A Leo needs compliments, words of praise, and undivided attention for its fire to radiate brightly.
They want to be loved for who they are. They want genuine connections, but take a long time to learn how to initiate them. They're always searching for meaning. Leos make a lot of friends, but they're not so good at keeping them or deepening these relationships.
As with all fire signs, Leos need relationships to feel hot, passionate, and exciting. Keeping things spicy in the bedroom is nonnegotiable. Even though they may be known for public displays of love and attention, Leos also possess tenderness and loyalty behind the scenes.
Leos love to lead, perform, talk, be admired and receive the praise and respect of others. They are naturally regal, and always assume a boss-like stance in any relationship or group dynamic. They are confident, bright and sexy people, though they can be jealous, controlling and possessive at their worst.
The proud Lion wants a woman who's not afraid to be herself.
When you walk into a room like you own the place, you'll be sure to grab a Leo's attention. His ideal woman knows and values herself and isn't afraid to take up space. If you're also a Leo or fellow fire sign Aries, you have confidence to spare.
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. Scorpio is very black and white about who they want to get to know and let into their life, and Leo usually feels the same.
Born Romantics. Leos love being in love, and when they are, they are not afraid to show it. Known for their pride, flamboyance and chivalry, Leos will go out of their way to show you a good time. All they want in return is tons of appreciation and attention.
Leos hate to be left out and to feel ignored. Their craving for complements is ever evolving. They like to be in the limelight, become the decision-maker. It is better to make them the party planner to keep things sweet and sugary.
Leo's best soulmates are usually Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius. Aries and Sag are fellow fire signs, while Libra and Gemini are clever air signs.
Leos don't often need much sleep due to their active nature. However, it's important they leave time aside to recharge. Leo signs should try to clock in around 7 hours of sleep each night but could most likely get by on less. Because of their social nature, Leos may find it difficult to sleep alone.
"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."
YOUR ZODIAC SIGN: LEO
You can't call them flirts, but yes, they love to take the lead. If they have a crush, the other person will know before anyone else does. They are communicative and they hate to beat around the bush. They don't out their heart out there easily, but definitely go all out fawning over their beau.
Leo is represented by the lion, and these spirited fire signs are the kings and queens of the celestial jungle. They're delighted to embrace their royal status: Vivacious, theatrical, and passionate, Leos love to bask in the spotlight and celebrate themselves.
Leo. People associated with the sign of Leo are egotistical, assertive and vibrant in nature. You can easily tick them off if you become envious of others. They feel that one can shape their own destiny and reality and if you envy people, they will surely roar back like a lion.
If a Leo doesn't get the attention or the approval they want, it could send them spiraling. 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.
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. When this happens, they lose their regal composure, become dramatically ferocious, and metaphorically go for the kill.
Leo. Because of your extroverted, attention-seeing nature, Leo, your biggest fear is being forgotten by your loved ones. It's unlikely (because of your huge personality), but the thought keeps you up at night nonetheless. Remember that the right people will stick around—don't cling too hard.
Leos can be stubborn and headstrong. Their need to do things their way or the highway can make them absolutely difficult and dominating. The more stubborn they get, the more unbearable they make it for others around them. Their ego pushes them to believe that they are always right.
Leo: Lavish attention on them
Attention is like catnip for the Big Cat of the zodiac, Leo. 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.
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and a cardinal fire sign trines with Leo, which means it's four signs apart and can make for one of the most organic, passionate, well-matched pairings in the zodiac. Both fire signs are adventurers who are driven to make big moves to ensure their ambitious visions become a reality.
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.
Leo. 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.
