All eyes turn
to Leo! A natural born leader, you learn early to enjoy the attention that comes
your way. Criticism deeply wounds you and the thought of it may cause you to
avoid owning your mistakes. In love, an adoring partner might tire of one-way
conversations, so learn to be attentive. The Lion who listens to a lover is the
happiest beast in the jungle.
Leos dislike
being bored and enjoy being around many people as they are at home playing the
role of a leader. Leos can quickly revert to becoming lazy if they are not
careful. A Leo will tell it like it is - always. They have difficulty holding
their tongues whether they are right or not. Leos will mean what they say and
say what they mean. They speak their opinion whether you want to hear it or not
so be prepared.
A Leo is similar to his sign
the Lion, as he believes he is the leader of all.
Don't tell him he doesn't, it will break his big, loving, proud heart. Leos can
easily go from being vigorously outgoing to plain lazy. If you want to find a
Leo, go to the most dazzling places in the town. You will find him there,
surrounded by people and playing his role in the limelight beautifully. He likes
to live in style and hates boredom. There is hardly any introvert Leos, only
those who pretend to be introverts.
They are in love with their pride and
ego and fiercely protect what they believe to be theirs. The lion loves to give
advice on how you should manage your life and feels himself to be superior to
others. However, his ego is very vulnerable and he will get deeply hurt if you
don't respect his wisdom. It is difficult to ignore the lion for too long, he
will be the center of attraction sooner or later. The best way to tame him is to
flatter him and shower him with all the praises.
Praising the intellect will work as much as admiring the appearance will
do the trick and you will leo wagging his tail.
He is pretty clever and
will never ever bother to waste his energy on something insignificant. Leo holds
back nothing, not even his approval and compliments. Infact, he is so generous
with compliments that he can make you embarrassed and self-conscious. At the
same time, he is equally vocal about the things he does not like. However, one
thing you can be sure of - he means what he says. You may or may not like it,
but it is his true opinion. Leo plays the perfect host, treating you to the best
of everything, right from ambience to the dessert.
A Leo is never the one to be dependent on someone. Rather, he loves to lead and
be leaned upon. He may complain every now and then about the responsibilities,
but in his heart he loves to have them. He dislikes taking help, especially of a
financial nature. On the other hand, he will gives loan to almost everyone. A
Leo may run out of cash easily, since he is not prudent with it. However, he
will always be the best-dressed person at the party. His behavior always borders
on the extreme. A Leo will either be extremely careless and sloppy or
meticulously neat and orderly. He is also extremely fixed with his ideas and it
is very hard to convince him against his opinions. He likes to do one thing at a
time. When he is working, you can be sure, he will forget to have his lunch too.
He has a forgiving nature and is full of sympathy. Even in his love life, he
easily reconciles after a split up. Leos are passionate in every aspect of their
life, be it love or career or any other thing. They are rarely without a partner
and life without love is a big no-no for them. They practically thrive on
romance.
When he's partying, he will put the dance floor on fire. Leos
turn out to be the bravest ones in a group, especially in the face of an
emergency. They are very loyal, extremely possessive and highly jealous. The
lion fiercely defends what he believes to be his. He is a powerful enemy, but
one with morals. Creativity and originality are his fortes. Even though he has
an ego, is arrogant and overflows with pride, he is extremely good at heart.
Being with a Leo will mean that you always have someone to care for, though you
may have to flatter him every now and then.
Leo men are very easy to figure out. They wear their big hearts on their
expensive sleeves! This guy is larger than life. You can’t be dating a Leo and
not be having a grand time. That’s their ultimate goal! These men are the most
charming in the entire zodiac. Leo men are lovers by nature and fighters by
instinct. He will win you over if he wants to, using his warm sunny smile and
honest sparkling eyes!
Leo men are usually never hurting for money.. Unless they spend too much on
overstuffed leather club chair or lose in a poker game. They will work
themselves to limits to get what they want. The whole kingdom is theirs for the
taking car a house, glorious food, fine wine, lavish vacations, a yacht, The
list is never ending.
Their motto is I WILL.. and they do. They are
natural performers, singers, dancers, speakers, actors. They expect you to take
notice or they will move on! If you find yourself dating a man ruled by our
planets magnetic and charismatic Sun, flatter him. That’s it. Oh, and buy him
stuff, especially eatable stuff. That’s the secret to a Leo mans heart.
Flatter his outfit, his smile, his shiny car, his job, his Ray Bans, and his
terrible radio singing.. Tell him how extraordinary he is, fill him with love,
and buy him very expensive whiskey. Leo men are so simple, they only want the
very best. His favorite films will be the box office hits and his music
collection will be a who’s who of all genres.
Oh by the way, Leo guys are total kinky freaks. They love all things wild,
animal print lingerie, whips, bondage cuffs, oils, potions, candles, whatever..
He’s down with it. They’re also givers, not takers.. so they are good on bed.
If you keep your Leo man happy, he will
make you his queen. If you don’t, he’ll wander away confused, lonely, and sad.
He’ll sleep around with hotter chicks before he bounces back to being his
fantastic independent sunny single self, Leo men are the charmers of the masses!
Like
the heart they are ruled by, these honest and charismatic individuals are
generous often to a fault. Affectionate and often theatrical in their behavior,
the Lions’ gregarious personalities easily stand out in a crowd. Plus, such is
their persona that they rarely fail to make an impression! In fact, leaving a
lasting impression on people’s minds is a task they handle only too well, given
the charisma they radiate..
In the first two weeks a loopy Leo will send relentless text messages and very
inappropriately timed admittances like, you’re the girls he’s been dreaming of
forever. He will date you for a month, then propose. He will buy you flowers
expecting it to be the second date ticket.
they are also decisive,
intensely proud and wonderfully romantic. Lions are status conscious, but at the
same time, they are warm-hearted and want everyone to be happy. Like I said, they never give up trying to get what they want.
Leo women are fierce, patient, and caring just like their male counterparts, but have a deep nurturing love for this earth and all it’s people, just as a Queen. The female Leo is a stunning, beautiful master peice of passion. The Leo woman is strong and full of pride which makes her very attractive not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. Leo women will stand next to their family and friends through good times and bad. She loves compliments and people who genuinely care for her, and in return she will give her all to those who love her. Remember this girl is protective so do not come in between her and the things she admires, like family, because she will fight against you if pushed her to point.
Leos are extremely sensitive but they hide that very well. Leos love praise and
flattery, their egos demand respect and adoration. Leo is all about pride.
This can cause them to be self-centered but the warmth of the Leo heart keeps it
under control. If Leo's audience (otherwise known as their friends) do not
provide the needed appreciation, Leo is too proud to ask for it and they will
suffer a hurt ego, but no one will ever know and they will suffer in silence.
The secret of the Leo is that they need to be needed.
Admiration is key. Admire them and they will be yours. Leo is a fairly easy sign
to attract they are very receptive to advances. Give them compliments, dish them
out in handfuls because Leos never think a compliment can go too far. Even if
you are faking it, they don't care, the simply love the attention.
Be funny, Leos love to be entertained and they love to laugh. If you can make
them laugh, you're good! Leos like the grand things in life, treat them to a
lavish dinner or a cultural upscale event. Always have the best of the best and
never try to offer them second rate. They think nothing is too good for them;
they like everything posh so dress classy and nice, and have a good night on the
town with the charming Leo!
