Leo 23rd July to August 22nd

Personality of the Leo

Just like real Lions, people with Leo as a zodiac sign have quite a regal appearance. They are able to bring warmth, light and life into the lives of people in their environment. They like to surround themselves with a large social circle that appreciates them. Leos like to be the centre of attention. They thrive on flattering compliments. In addition, Leos love luxury and material things. They are eager to accumulate wealth and therefore choose high-salary jobs that enable them to lead. They are often the cornerstone of social groups and guide planning processes and decisions. In situations where they have to take orders from others, they often do less well.

The Leo in a relationship

Love is the most important thing in the life of Leos. They should feel valued and loved, and if they do, they will generously return that love. They love all the theatrical aspects of love: the flashy dates, grand gestures and romantic dinners. They are passionate partners and bring fire to all their relationships. Their great sense of pride can make them struggle to admit when they are wrong or to say sorry. On the other hand, if their partners have wronged them, they forgive quite easily, as long as the apologies are genuine. Leos are not the type to hold a grudge.

The Leo in friendship

Leos love a sense of community. They are very protective of their friends and do not take threats well. They are deeply affected by any family breakdown, as their top priority is often to keep friends close, strong and healthy. People with the zodiac sign of Leo have long-term relationships with their friends. That means they rarely get out of sync with people or lose friendships.

The Leo at work

When it comes to careers, a Leo usually chooses jobs with a high wage level. They like luxury and material things, so money is certainly important when choosing a job. They often thrive in leadership roles, and sometimes have difficulty taking decisions from higher-ranking people. But when they take the initiative and decisions, they will inspire others to be strong and decisive. Their pride can make it difficult for them to go with others, but this also means that they are extremely passionate about their work and will always get the best out of themselves.

Male Leo

A Leo man wants to be treated like a king. Plans with a male Leo are always grand and dramatic, and he will show admiration, dedication and attention to the other. He loves to receive compliments, and while he seems confident, he needs a lot of praise to feel safe too. Male Leos easily assume the role of an eternal bachelor; he is always on the hunt and he celebrates love and life.

Female Leo

Female Leos are very affectionate and are driven by the desire to be loved and admired. They like to be in the spotlight. They can also enjoy a visit to the theatre, art museum or a chic restaurant. They want to be showered with flowers and gifts, provided it is given from love and not from luxury. Female Leos can also be a bit dominant and want to keep control over their own lives.

The best partners for the Leo

Sagittarius, Aries and Gemini are considered the best partners for a Leo. Sagittarius as well as Leo have a great love for adventure, drama and freedom. That leads to a lot of fun and a harmonious relationship. Like Leo, Aries is passionate, energetic and somewhat selfish, but as long as they respect each other, it can actually strengthen the relationship. Both Leos and Gemini approach life with enthusiasm. Although they do this from different angles (Leo with the heart and Gemini with the head), their differences complement each other instead of causing problems.
