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.
This sign doesn't appreciate their partner's concern when it comes to pointing their mistakes out. Leos hate it when they are faced with criticism, even though it may be for their good.
Leo's biggest weakness is their selfish nature. They only think about their own needs and put themselves forward in all situations.
Leos can get very insecure at times when they are unsure about something. They also get very possessive and jealous of someone, if the latter tries to take away something or someone close. At this point, their insecurities can get the best of them.
Leos want someone who can't shut up about how happy they are to be together. You are rarely able to spend time with them. Leos understand if you're busy, but they aren't going to be treated like second best or a backup plan. If they feel like they're the only person putting in effort, they are going to lose interest.
A Leo man loves being caressed, touched and he expresses his emotions freely and without inhibitions. He will not at all hesitate to shower you with affection when you are together. So, it may be a casual peck on your cheek or hugs and cuddles; you can expect a lot of PDA from your Leo man.
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 (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.
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.
Leos are totally angered by not getting what they want, especially after they have planned and worked hard at something. Leos are very caring when it comes to their self-image, meaning they're most of the time composed, no matter how angry they may be feeling.
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."
Cons: Leos aren't known for their sensitivity regarding other people's feelings, and without meaning to, they can be kind of a jerk. When they hurt you, it's hard to get them to take responsibility for it.
Leo is all fire, while Aquarius is known for being cold and detached. “Leo, a sign that runs off of passion and lots of affection, will be heartbroken at Aquarius' independence and coolness,” Comet says. Aquarius is also the humanitarian of the zodiac and is very passionate about changing the world.
Leos don't feel threatened by other people's success and are pretty secure and content with their lives. They only get jealous, when their loved ones, particularly their partner, don't pay attention to them and instead devote their energies on someone else.
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.
They hate feeling left out or staying on the sidelines, preferring to be the center of attention and the action. This can sometimes make Leos seem bossy or pushy, but it's just their way of trying to stay involved. In general, Leos dislike idleness and will always try to find something to keep themselves busy.
Good Marriage Prospects for a Leo
Traditional astrological wisdom holds that Leos are most compatible with Aries, Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius, and least compatible Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
"Ruled by the radiant Sun, Leos know exactly what it takes to make themselves the center of attention," says Kirsten. "Although they often believe they bring life to the party, they don't realize they can come off as arrogant, egotistical and a bit obnoxious."
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.
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.
If you have a Leo man in your life and he genuinely loves you, he will make you feel special in a number of ways. He will let you as well as the world around him know that you are the center of his universe. It will be his gestures and surprises and small thoughtful acts that will make you feel wanted.
Leo men are attracted to women who are confident, independent, and down to earth. If you want to make him chase you, be yourself and don't try to be someone you're not. He will appreciate your authenticity and he will love you for who you are. Leo men also appreciate women who are supportive and understanding.
