Positive Leo Traits
Leos possess a contagious and strong vitality. Their lives and the lives of their loved ones are enriched by their "live life to its fullest" mentality. Leos are also honorable and dignified leaders who inspire others to be their best. Creativity is one of Leo's major traits as they are well suited for artistic pursuits. Leos also make great lovers and parents, generously giving more to a relationship than most of the other zodiac signs.
Negative Leo Traits
Leos tend to have large, heavy egos and can be arrogant, vain and extravagant. They can be too status conscious and need to develop their own self-identity to avoid the anguish of keeping up with pretenses. They can also be quite overbearing when they feel their leadership role is challenged.
Leo Compatibility
Since Leo is a fire sign people born under this zodiac sign are associated with action, passion and energy. When looking at romantic and spiritual compatibility, fire signs typically stay away from earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), which will smother them and water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), which will drown them. As a result, Leos are more compatible with air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) that will fan and enliven them.
Leo Reading
Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is known for having a large ego and a great fear of looking foolish in public. Leos have a love for life, often living life dangerously close to the edge. This vitality is infectious and tends to make the lives of Leos and those around them exciting. Still, Leos also need to learn to take care to not go overboard.
Leos are also very affectionate, but if their leadership role is challenged, they typically lose interest in love. Since Leos tend to be addicted to living life to its fullest, the lack of professional or personal fulfillment and control can be a huge setback. To avoid feeling out of control, Leos are advised to be well organized to achieve peace of mind. Leos are creative beings and are often painters, actors, sculptors or excellent cooks. A Leo without a creative outlet is not living to her full potential and thus is not fully happy.
While Leos have a tough exterior, they are surprisingly sensitive and easily hurt. Leos are natural leaders they are skilled at taking command of any situation and turning it into a success. Still, Leos have a tendency to dominate and a person born under this zodiac sign should learn to listen to other ideas. Only when Leos recognize that they are not always right, can their warmth, generosity and desire to truly understand others be fully realized.
