The Leo man
The Leo man looks composed and a little aloof, but he is gentle and kind-hearted. His natural authority means people sometimes feel he is giving orders. He respects his elders, looks on the bright side and will never let himself be pushed around. Friends and colleagues often come to him for advice, though he finds it harder to solve his own problems.
His calm confidence makes him attractive, he is loved by many and he cannot live without love. He works hard and seeks progress, so money is rarely short, but saving it is another matter: he enjoys going out as much as he enjoys working.
In a relationship he wants admiration and encouragement. He can be very jealous; even seeing his partner chat with someone else may upset him, and he does not always hide his displeasure.
The Leo woman
The Leo woman is striking and self-assured. Her confidence makes her shine, and she cares about fashionable clothes and beautiful accessories. Because she likes to lead and to be in charge, some people see her as headstrong or quick to anger, yet she can be surprisingly tender. She treasures gifts and keepsakes that hold memories.
She enjoys luxury and comfort and is not especially sentimental: handmade gifts and overly sweet gestures are not her style. She is cheerful and generous with friends, but she does not open up to everyone, and getting close to her takes patience. Capable, intelligent and stylish, she attracts many admirers.
Leo in love and relationships
Dating a Leo man: appreciate him and tell him so. Do not try to outshine him or give him orders, and never criticize him or make him lose face in front of friends or family. When he is angry, stay calm and wait for his mood to improve; it will pass.
Dating a Leo woman: she looks for a partner who is well prepared in life, with stability and ambition, and who does not try to dominate her. Treat her to quality experiences; a thoughtful, well-chosen evening out will impress her far more than something careless.
