A Little About Leo

Leos are unforgettable people. When you first meet them, you will only notice their good traits like being loyal, but they have bad traits like being demanding too.

Their Best Traits

Leos are extremely loyal individuals who will stand by you. They have a take charge personality and they're excellent leaders. They are also some of the funniest people you could ever hope to meet.

Loyal

If you want a loyal friend or lover, set your sights on a Leo. Once they decide they love you, they will love you forever. They will build their lives around you instead of letting you know when they have free time in their schedule. You are the schedule. Leos don’t devote themselves to just anybody, but to a few very special people who they love like family. A lot of people actually get on Leo's nerves, and if you don't, that means that you are a very special individual with a lot of good traits. At least in their opinion. They won't let anybody speak against you, they won't have any tolerance for anyone mistreating you, and in their eyes, you can do no wrong. The best thing you can do for yourself is be in a relationship with a Leo. Read more about Leo here: Leo Traits and Love Compatibility

Take Charge

Leos don't plan on taking over when they go places. It just happens. They can naturally see what kind of things need done, who has the best abilities, and who would be best on which team. They can see the best solutions for problems, and that makes it convenient for them to talk to people who are upset, resolve conflicts, and make everybody feel good about things. They walk in with an air of confidence which immediately makes people feel like they know what they're doing. To be in charge, you have to make people feel comfortable with your capabilities, and Leo just naturally does that. They don't mean to be the boss, but they're pretty darn good at it.

Funny

If anyone can make you laugh, it's a Leo. They can see the humor in even the most dismal of situations. Their sense of humor can be dark or biting at times, and some especially sensitive people find this quite disturbing. Leos don't let that bother them, because they're so busy laughing about what people find disturbing. They keep a running commentary during outings, at home watching movies, and sitting on the front porch watching the neighbors go by. Scorpios have a reputation for being people watchers, but Leos are just as observant. If you want the scoop on the funniest things going on, sit by a Leo.

Their Worst Traits

Before you decide that a Leo is your dream come true, there are a few things you should know about them. They can be very demanding and domineering. They can also hold a major grudge.

Demanding

Because of their sense of humor and focus on being loyal to people, Leos make people think that they're not demanding people. Nothing could be farther from the truth. They have very high expectations of the people who they are involved with. They don't seem to have those high expectations of strangers who they have no connection to. Whether they are a patient, a customer, a neighbor, or in a personal relationship with you, lives expect you to be on your toes at all times. They don't have a problem setting you straight if you don't live up to their expectations. To be fair, they hold themselves to standards that are just as high, so they would never ask you to treat them any better than they plan on treating you.

Domineering

Being somebody who walks in the room like they own the place can make Leos steamroll right over people sometimes. They're not trying to dominate everybody, but it just happens on its own sometimes. They have a large presence, a large voice, and huge expectations. They are not shy about expressing any of this, and some people feel so overwhelmed by this, they just want to run from Leos. That is a mistake. If your Leo is coming on too strong, respectfully pull them aside and point that out. If you are a stranger who they find to be weak, they're not going to care. If they care about you, they will be happy to tone it down a bit. Read about negative Leo traits and how to cope here: The Dark Side of Leos and How to Deal with It

Grudge Holders

God help you if you wrong a Leo and don't make up for it. They will never forget it. Don't put it past them to get revenge if they're terribly upset. They won't feel guilty about that either. The way they look at it is you screwed around and you found out how powerful the wrath of a Leo who is wronged can be. Just to be on the safe side, if you know your Leo is upset, sit down, talk it out, and ask them what you can do to make it up to them. They might let you live.

What it Takes to Make it Work

If the dark side of Leo hasn't scared you off, and you are determined to make things work with a lovely Leo, you might be wondering just what it does take. First, you have to catch their eye. Leos need to be passionate about people who they are involved with, and if they're not, they won't bother with you. You have to be confident, hardworking, and you have to look them in the eye instead of acting intimidated. Leos will not have any respect for someone who is afraid of them, and they shouldn't. Leo wants a partner who can look them in the eye, not an adult child who they have to take care of.

Don't think that they're not nurturing or they don't want to help you. They just want someone who they can respect and trust to conduct themselves well in the world. What a Leo wants more than anything, is a true partner who is on an even level with them, who can make decisions with them, and who makes a powerful team with them. If they have to make all the decisions, pay all the bills, or make all the effort, they will lose interest in you almost immediately. If you are respectful to them, have self respect, and work with them, they will love that. Leos understand that relationships are two-way streets. They are very happy to hold up their end, but they're not going to hold up yours. Read about one of the Leo cusps, the Cancer Leo one here: What Does it Mean to be a Cancer and Leo Cusp?

Leo’s Best Matches

Leos are great people and some people are very lucky that they match well with Leos. Three of those lucky Zodiac Signs are Libra, Sagittarius, and Gemini.

Libra

At the top of the list is Libra, a Sign that can be best besties and forever lovers for Leos. These two support… and enable one another. Leos love to have a relationship with an independent, smart Libra who they can respect as much as they dote on. Libras are great at soothing Leos when they are upset, and Libras are the ultimate listeners when their Leo wants to vent. Both of these Signs love to laugh, and there is rarely anybody who can make a Libra laugh like a Leo. They both love to collect things and shop, so they need to be careful they don’t make each other go broke!

Sagittarius

As funny as Leos are, Sagittarians can be even funnier. Sagittarians have a light hearted approach to things and when Leos have an emotional breakdown, their Sag can pick them up by getting them to laugh about even the most tragic of situations. One thing Sagittarians need to be careful of though, is not to invalidate their Leo’s feelings. Leos are also going to have to be understanding of what Sagittarians are absolutely famous for- the need to feel radically free of all things. Somehow, these two seem to be able to effortlessly work through these differences. Sagittarians love to have someone worth returning to from their adventures and Leos love a partner who enjoys life with them.

Gemini

Social butterfly Gemini flits from one relationship to another like a lovely pollinator drifting from flower to flower. When they land on, or catch feelings for a Leo, they like to stay put. If anybody can ground the socially proficient flirt that Gemini can be, it’s charismatic Leo. Leos have the style, confidence, and personality to make a Gemini stick around. Geminis are very popular and they have a lot of options in romance that plenty of other Signs don't. Leos are so special and fun that Geminis won't look at anyone else twice. Leo devotes themselves to relationships completely and when a Gemini falls for a Leo, Gemini devotes themselves just as much. This is a match made in heaven.

Leo’s Worst Matches

Leo seems like someone who could be in a long-term romance with anybody, but they aren’t. They have their limits, and some people have limitations on how much they can tolerate Leos. The worst love matches for Leo are Scorpio, Cancer, and Virgo.

Scorpio

One Sign you do not want to anger is Scorpio, and Leo just seems to be very good at that. Leo isn’t trying to target and attack, but Scorpio takes it that way. Scorpio finds Leo’s outward communication terrifying. Scorpio is the mysterious, quiet creature who keeps a lot to themselves, whereas Leo is going to come in loud and proud and just say EVERYTHING. Scorpio has to accept that what you ate for breakfast is not a top government secret, and Leo will have to keep some private things private if these two want to work things out.

Cancer

Cancer and Leo can make a relationship work, but it doesn’t always happen. They both devote themselves to long-term serious relationships and if they decide to devote to one another, they can be together forever. Cancer finds Leo’s outspokenness jarring, and Leo thinks Cancer needs to be less intolerant of how strong they come on. The trick is for Leo to continue being completely honest with their Cancer but to sugarcoat things with the highest level of finesse that they can muster. Cancer will have to be forgiving if Leo doesn’t do that their very best each time.

Virgo

Few people go out of their way to try and dominate a Leo, but you can bet your life that almost any Virgo will. You can also win a bet that it won’t benefit Virgo to do it. Virgo feels a deep need to tell other people what to do because they believe their way is best. Leos naturally instill confidence in people who ask Leos to lead. Virgos are amazing organizers and workers. These two can have a great partnership but they both have to want it, or else they will lock horns and fight for dominance.

A Last Word

Life with a Leo can be confusing. Leo’s warmth, humor, and loyalty all tied into one beautiful bundle. However, they are temperamental and pushy. You never know which qualities will shine in your Leo. A famous saying states if you can’t tolerate someone’s worst side, you don’t deserve the best of them. Leo believes this deep down in their soul. That’s not them acting entitled. That’s them expecting reciprocity, because they will put up with a lot if they decide to devote themselves to you. 

Dating a Leo is a full-time job, but it’s one you can’t imagine not having if you are head over heels for them. They will shower you with attention and gifts, and they are truthful about their intentions from day one. The biggest mistake Leos make in romance is to devote themselves to someone who’s just worth it. They are so focused on adoring the apple of their eye, they don’t notice right away if that apple is a dirty rotten taker who couldn’t give back to save their life. Tread lightly if you are one that rotten- because Leo’s are love blind, not stupid. Eventually they will see the bad behavior, and ditch your rotted stinking carcass. They love deeply and need to be loved just as deeply.

Leos are the charming, charismatic, confident people who walk in the room like royalty. People are instantly attracted to them, but it takes a lot to attract a Leo. They want someone who will be just as loyal and prideful as they are. You will have to put up with their temper, sometimes, but they make it worth it. If a Leo loves you, you will be loved by them for life!
