9 Astrology Insights Into Leo

Leo is the sign that celebrates the joy of living in a body on planet Earth. The sign of royalty, everyone with Leo in their charts has a strong sense of pride and a need for admiration.

Leo is generous and loyal and fiercely protective of those he or she loves, and even the extroverted Leo will typically be a great story-teller and love a good joke. Read on to learn more about Leo, and what they need to be most happy and content.

Leo in Love

Like all fire signs, there is an innocence and idealism that accompanies Leo in love. Love for Leo is a mythic tale of passion and redemption that offers an opportunity to express the power of the Self and have that Self be reflected back to them. Leo is romantic and generous in spirit, prone to grand gestures and proclamations of love and passion. Leo tends to be loyal to a fault, and typically find it easy to remain committed in relationships as long as they are fed by the love and passion they receive in return. Ruled by the Sun, Leo needs the warmth of the admiration of others in order to really shine. Playing hard to get or other games will not win you the attention of your Leo lover; shower them with love and admiration and you will win the great prize of Leo in love.

Leo at Work

With their powerful nature, Leo is a natural leader and extremely ambitious. They have an inborn competitive streak that drives them to be successful, and for this reason they are very hard workers. The Leo employee needs plenty of praise and positive reinforcement for the work they are doing, and they like to feel that no one else can do things as well as they can. Leo will always believe in their hearts that they could do the boss's job better than anyone, and are perhaps more deserving of that plum position. But they are magnanimous with their co-workers and generally entertaining to have around. As a boss, Leo is generous and fair as long as the employee respects the natural order, which is to say that Leo belongs on top. Your Leo boss will be the first one to hand out raises, but be sure to offer plenty of thanks.

The Leo Friend

No one is a more loyal and true friend than Leo. Their naturally affectionate nature and open heart spills over into every relationship in their life. Charismatic and inspiring, Leo tends to be spontaneous and extroverted and enjoy an active social life. They typically enjoy spending time with their friends in activities where their natural competitiveness can find expression, such as sports or games. They are brave and will not shrink from difficult situations, especially if their friends need protection. Sadly, their idealism often causes them to embrace new friendships too easily and they will not easily admit disappointment. However, they are easily hurt if they do not feel valued, and once offended they will, like other fixed signs, remember the slight for a very long time.
