Leo (July 23 -August 21) Characteristics
Leo has the sign of the lion and is often claimed as having the heart of a lion. Leo characteristics
include: confidence, warm-hearted, generous, ambitions, and slightly arrogant. Leos love the spotlight
and use their ability to entertain in order to make sure they are the center of attention. Leos have
strong magnetic personalities that people are drawn to. They are very generous and giving to those
around them; however, they need constant attention and reassurance or they become bossy and
difficult. They are intelligent, but motivated by their need for attention and may come off as being
arrogant and self-centered. Leo’s demand respect in the form of flattery and will work hard to get this
reaction from all they come in contact with.
In the workforce, those with true Leo characteristics are powerful motivators. They are very loyal and
demand a certain amount of loyalty from their co-workers. They do well in management positions
because they demand hard work from their subordinates. They have a desire for prestigious positions
and tend to work for companies that will give them some sort of title. Leos also do well in positions
where they are able to make decisions or be a part of the decision making team.
Leos are fun friends to have, as they will also throw lavish parties and gatherings. They require a
somewhat lavish lifestyle, one that will make them stand out in the crowd. Be it designer suits or
something extravagant for the more frugal, the Leo loves making a grand entrance. In relationships,
they require a certain amount of attention and appreciation from their partner. As long as the Leo’s
needs are being met, they will return the loyalty and attention. The Leo needs to be the more
dominant in the partnership and therefore need someone who is willing to take a back seat.
Leo’s best matches are the Aries and the Sagittarius. The Leo and the Aries may struggle with their
love for the spotlight. However, if Aries can cater to Leo’s ego, Leo in turn may give up his love the
spotlight every once in awhile. They are both strong and confident individuals and complement each
other’s personality traits nicely. Sagittarius and Leo share a love for freedom and adventure. They
love to entertain themselves as well as other people. Sagittarius has the ability to inspire Leo which is
exactly what this proud lion needs.
