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.
They are not satisfied with life even when things are going spectacularly well for them. It is because they are thinking that life can always be better. Also, Leos love being the center of attention, and what better way to grab it than to start wailing.
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.
Leos are confident and self-assured individuals, but they can also be sensitive when it comes to rejection. They have a deep need for validation and attention, and when they experience rejection, it can shatter their confidence. They may take it as a personal attack on their worth and abilities.
Leos are dominant personalities. However, when it comes to anxiety, there is no limit to how stressful situations can get for a Leo. Whenever you feel things are moving out of your control and that you're not getting the attention you deserve, you're deemed to feel stress.
A Leo that encounters stress will cry. You'll probably wait until you're alone, but tears will flow for sure. You need to deal with tension immediately and intensely — but once that initial overflow of emotion has passed, you're good at putting on a brave face.
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.
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.
Leos are strong, confident personalities. If they like you, they wont shy away from their feelings and can sometimes come off a bit too strong. They don't believe in beating around the bush and can be quite blunt about their opinions.
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.
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.
They love making friends and are natural-born leaders. However, Leos have a tendency to believe that they are never wrong, which makes them really difficult to be around in general, let alone be friends with. Although fiercely loyal and generous, Leo is also known to be self-involved and jealous.
Leos are probably one of the meanest signs on the list. They love to give people a taste of their own medicine and can often catch you off guard. 'Savage' could be their middle name more so because Leos enjoy having that power to tick people off whenever they want.
