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.
Leo's pride and confidence can cause them to develop a big ego; they can be self-centered, vain, dramatic, and domineering. A Leo can also be naïve, sharing their generosity and kindness with people who take advantage of it, and they worry over people's opinions of them.
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.
Number 1 — Jealous/possessive
Leos can be very jealous and possessive during relationships. Usually, a Leo can be distant from others — but when it comes to a loved one it's a completely different story. I'll admit that I can get a little jealous and possessive occasionally, but I'm not that bad.
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.
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. 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.
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 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.
One of Leo's biggest negative personality traits is that they are extremely opinionated. Once they've made a decision about something, it's tough to convince them otherwise. You'll also probably never hear the end of it when they have something to say.
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's Most Toxic Match: Scorpio
Is there a worse match for a Leo than a Scorpio? Probably not. While Scorpios like to spend their days focusing on life's big questions, Leos want a partner who is going to focus on one thing and one thing only: them.
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.
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 best compatibility: Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius.
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.
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.
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.
(F) Leo (July 23-August 22) – Telekinesis: Leos already know they have the power to accomplish anything. They have full control of their life, surroundings, and happiness. However, this power may go to their head as they would no longer have a need to move, and would likely become too lazy to fight crime.
If you've upset a Leo, be prepared to give them your complete attention. Allow them the chance to fully explain their thoughts and feelings about the matter. Don't interrupt them. If they clam up at first, encourage them to open up.
Leo is the most confident zodiac sign. But, when it comes to relationships it isn't true. They have major trust issues. The reason behind these issues is simple.
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.
Leos are territorial and will hate it if someone else steps in. A Leo wants to take care of all of your needs, no matter what—this is a deeply ingrained personality trait. If you ask another guy to help you with something, even a small task, your man will be jealous and wonder why you didn't ask him for help instead.
Leos can get quite egoistic when they face rejection in love and might retire into their cocoon for days. They have this go-getter attitude and feel emotionally bruised when they don't get what they wished for.
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.
