　　Individuals born under the sign of Leo are known for their natural leadership abilities. They possess qualities such as creativity, self confidence, dominance and a strong presence that is hard to resist. Leos are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to in all aspects of their lives. The strength of a Leo lies in their "king of the jungle" status. They are typically generous and loyal, which enables them to have many friends. Their self confidence and attractiveness make them capable of bringing different groups of people together and leading them towards a common goal. Additionally Leos have a healthy sense of humor which makes it easier for them to collaborate with others.

　　Leos are associated with the element of Fire, along with Aries and Sagittarius. This makes them warm hearted, and they love to enjoy life and have fun. They are able to use their intellect to solve even the most challenging problems and will often take the initiative to resolve complicated situations. Ruled by the Sun, Leos revere this fiery entity both literally and metaphorically. They are constantly in search of self awareness and personal growth. They are aware of their desires and personalities, and they are comfortable asking for what they need. However in their pursuit of personal gain or status, they may unconsciously neglect the needs of others. If a Leo becomes too attached to their achievements and how others perceive them, they may become vulnerable and easily taken down.

　　The Lion in the Cave -The story of the lion has always been associated with bravery. As an animal, it is fearless and almost impossible to challenge, hurt, or destroy. The only weaknesses of a lion are fear and aggression towards those they confront. Like a lion living in a cave a Leo needs a place to retreat to and find comfort during difficult times. However they should not remain in their safe space for too long. With their heads held high they must face others with dignity and respect, never resorting to violence or aggression, and walk bravely through the forest that they rule.

Leo Love, Sex & Compatibility

　　Individuals born under the Fire sign of Leo are passionate and sincere, and they have no trouble expressing their feelings with ease and clarity. In love, they are fun, loyal, respectful, and very generous towards their partner. They tend to take on a leadership role in their relationships and strongly value their need for independence and initiative. However, their desire to take control can be exhausting for their partner, particularly if they start organizing and imposing their will on matters that do not concern them. A Leo needs a partner who is self-aware, reasonable, and on the same intellectual level as them. The partner should also feel free to express themselves and assert their needs, as too much focus on the Leo's desires and needs can be overwhelming and overshadow the partner's personality.

　　When it comes to sex, each Leo approaches it as an adventure and seeks to bring energy and excitement into the bedroom. They have a clear understanding of the distinction between sex and love, but may overlook the importance of intimacy and emotional connection in their sexual encounters. To experience true satisfaction in a meaningful relationship, every Leo needs a partner who is willing to break through their awareness and reach their sensitive, subconscious core.
