Leos (born between July 23 and August 22) tend to have some of the strongest personalities among the other zodiac signs.
Proud, bold, and often irresistible, they approach their relationships with just as much passion and intensity as they do the rest of their lives. But like every other sign, they have their glorious sides and their slightly darker ones. If you're in a relationship with a Leo (or thinking about being in one), here are some essential things to keep in mind:
1. Loyal, when they want to be
If you can overcome their ego and offer yourself to them with dedication, a Leo will stand by you no matter what. They are supportive and encouraging partners, and when they love, they do it with all their heart. Remember: the love and attention they give you, they want you to return in equal measure.
2. Safe and straightforward
Leos don't hide what they feel. If they like someone, they will show it without hesitation. They are often 'brutal' in their honesty. They tell you their opinion straight to your face, even if it hurts.
3. Born romantics
Love for them is an art form. With their proud nature, they will try to make you feel like you're in a romantic movie. What they want in return? Attention, appreciation, and the feeling that they are special to you.
4. Drama Kings
Yes, they love attention... and yes, sometimes drama. If you're in a relationship with a Leo, be prepared for strong emotions and theatrical moments.
5. Constantly seeking attention
If they are not in the spotlight, they do not feel good. Leos feel unappreciated when the spotlight falls on someone else. They are convinced that they deserve the best and need to have this constantly proven. Be careful with harsh criticism, it affects them a lot.
6. Ambitious and competitive
Leos are driven by a strong desire for success and power. In a relationship, they want someone who supports them in their dreams and who doesn't hold them back. If you try to stop them, they become ruthless and aggressive. Give them the space they need to pursue their vision.
7. Insecure and possessive
Behind all that confidence, there's an emotional insecurity. Leos fear betrayal and manipulation, so they often become jealous and controlling. They want to feel like your priority and can't stand you playing with their feelings. Jealousy games? Better avoid them, they don't end well.
8. Fiery temperament
Beyond being a fire sign, they have an explosive nature. If the situation gets heated, the best thing you can do is step back and give them space to reflect. They need time to calm down and think clearly.
9. The masters in debate
Leos are intelligent and articulate. In a discussion, they will always know how to position themselves and rarely back down from their stance. If you start an argument with a Leo, be prepared for a long and well-argued battle.
10. Born leaders
Independent and visionary, Leos are natural leaders. They love to take charge and hate being controlled. If you're in a relationship with them, give them the space to lead and let them make decisions, it makes them feel valued and useful.
