Leo holding a grudge will be difficult but not impossible to claw back into their best interest if you injure their ego. However, you shouldn't consistently mistreat them and hope for forgiveness. You can tell they harbour a grudge when they immediately shut you out of their lives.
Leos don't like to be unhappy, and they are quick to forgive when the apology is done right. Offering a small, thoughtful gift along with your apology might also be effective.
Cancer: These extremely sensitive water signs tend to always want to revisit the past and due to this quality, Cancerians tend to hold on to grudges for a very long time. Because of their sensitivity they may find it hard to look past the mistake or flaws of other people.
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.
One of the weaknesses of the Leo star sign is the lack of self-awareness. A Leo often needs to be first and sometimes, they can't help but be first - even if it's at the expense of other people.
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 natives often run high fevers and are prone to accidents. You are prone to sudden violent illnesses and lingering diseases. Usually, you are immune to chronic. You are likely to suffer from back pain, pain in the spine, and ailments related to the lungs.
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.
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.
Never tell a Leo to 'Let go'
They keep their feelings and emotions hidden from others as they consider it a sign of weakness. They might not let go of certain things and would not like to talk about it in public.
Taurus: According to astrology, the people of this zodiac get very angry quickly. When Taurus people feel bad about something, then they are not able to control their anger. Not only this, it becomes difficult to calm them down.
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.
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.
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 are extremely loyal and trustworthy friends. Sometimes incorrectly described as self-obsessed, Leos are actually more interested in other people than they are in themselves. It's their people that keep them alive and motivated and once a Leo has let you into their fold, good luck ever leaving their side!
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.
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.
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.
"Leo needs to de-stress by having fun: going to a party, singing, dancing, going to comedy shows... just having a good time," says Gat.
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.
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 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.
Fire is also traditionally compatible with air, as the two elements share certain attributes, like being free-spirited, independent, speedy, and social. That said, a Leo often sparks with a fellow joie de vivre-filled Sagittarius, active Aries, or romantic Libra.
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.
