Dark Leo. Leos believe the world revolves around only them, and when they don't get respect, attention, praise, applause, and adulation from others, their self-esteem suffers, their darker side emerges, and they morph into a person no one wants to be around either in public or private.
They have seemingly endless courage ambition, and love games (in the sports and gambling sort of way, not metaphorically). Leo's Healthy Habit: As a Leo, you'll probably do well to turn your fitness routine into more of a game or a contest.
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.
If a Leo doesn't get the attention or the approval they want, it could send them spiraling. 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.
In general, Leos dislike idleness and will always try to find something to keep themselves busy. Even when taking a break, they need to feel like they're doing something productive. This can be frustrating for those who prefer a more relaxed lifestyle, but it's just how Leo likes to operate.
Leos have strong emotional and physical ties to their hearts. They are sensitive because they tend to take grief and unpleasant feelings quite seriously. Their pride means everything to them, so when it is wounded, they are powerless to contain their tears.
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.
Leo best compatibility: Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius.
Leo-born people can continue to live under terror until they get back on the appropriate pathway. Also known as the perfectionists, for them, their trigger point is mess and chaos. Once they figure out they are in clutter, they create unnecessary stress in their mind and hustle hard to sort things out.
Leos can be stubborn and headstrong. Their need to do things their way or the highway can make them absolutely difficult and dominating. The more stubborn they get, the more unbearable they make it for others around them. Their ego pushes them to believe that they are always right.
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 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.
You can actually trust a Leo to keep your secrets, but beware, they can let them out if it compromises their own position and threatens their near and dear ones. You can't count on them to be there for you all the time, because they prefer to be in situations that excites them.
From wild tricking to relentless shrieks, Leos not only believe in thriving on the attention of their partner but they love to intensify the bedroom experience.
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.
Geminis are attracted to the confidence and outspokenness of Leos. They like the fact that Leos like being the centre of attention and are self-assured and secure individuals. Geminis too are just as outgoing and social as Leos and go very well with them.
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.
Who's Leo Soulmate? The natives of Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra, and Aries are believed to be the Leo zodiac soulmates.
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.
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.
If you hurt a Leo woman, she may start to distance herself from you. She may stop talking to you as much and may even start avoiding you altogether. When a Leo woman is hurting, she often needs time to herself to heal. By distancing herself from you, she's giving herself the space and time she needs to heal her wounds.
Leo: Fear of being found out
The heady rush of power dials into something primitive for this fierce sign, and the prospect of having this power taken away or not being admired and loved by everyone is what keeps them up at night.
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.
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.
