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.
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.
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.
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.
Leos love to protect the vulnerable and stick up for others, and they are the patron saint of underdogs! This makes them come off as proud, strong and kind all at the same time - it's adorable.
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.
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.
Once a Leo decides they like someone though, they are in it for the long haul. They're extremely loyal in their relationships and may shower the other person with attention. At times, they may even be a bit possessive, and they will expect the same amount of effort from their partner in return.
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.
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 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.
"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.
Loyal to a fault
Once committed, they will stick by your side no matter what. They make for extremely encouraging and supportive partners. While dating Leos, make sure to reciprocate the love and enjoy romantic attention they shower you with.
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!
Leo. 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. While it is true that you are easily forgiving of others' behaviour, it helps to assume responsibility for your own actions as well.
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 best compatibility: Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius.
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."
