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?
Leos are known to be prone to jealousy and possessiveness. The Lion doesn't like when something belonging to him is eyed by anyone else. If you are dating a Leo, chances are that they will act jealous but that will only be because they love you! A Leo's pride is something that is better left unchallenged.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Leos, when at their worst, can become arrogant. Self-confident Leos aren't afraid to show that they love and value themselves and are proud of their gifts and abilities. But Leos are known for being "all-in" people...and when you go all-in on yourself, you can become egotistical.
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.
According to Montúfar, Leos are very generous with their time and energy in relationships. When they're not feeling seen, or if they feel like they're not receiving the same amount of effort as they put in, they may suddenly stop talking to you. A lot of groveling is in order if you want to get back on their good side.
If you ever get in an argument with a Leo, don't expect an apology. Much like a lion, they are built on pride, and are as stubborn as they come. Just as you wouldn't mess with a lion, don't mess with Leos because they will always forgive, but will never forget.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
Leos believe that they know best and people will only gain if they pay heed to their words. The zodiac's tendency to be controlling is more apparent when they want to love and attention (which is always, really). If they find that people are not being attentive to them, they are likely to let their bossy self shine.
Who's Leo Soulmate? The natives of Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, and Aries are believed to be the Leo zodiac soulmates.
Leo and Libra — Ideal Match
Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac, and the cardinal air sign are sextile, or two signs apart from Leo, which sets up a sweet, harmonious bond. Both are head over heels for romance and seeing and being seen.
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."
