Leo Traits & Personality

Represented by the Lion and ruled by the brightest star in the sky, when these people enter the room, others feel it. They want to shine the light of the soul to the world. They’re leaders, entrepreneurs, and actors. But more often than not, the majority of Leos don’t work in a creative field. 

They’re great at working in any field where there are repeatable, fixed systems they can operate in. Stable government jobs or administrative and executive roles are the perfect fit. It’s a fixed sign. Once they stick to something, they do it over and over again. This can often be the sign of an addictive personality. Watch out for gambling.

Leos want to shine bright, make their mark, and consistently strive towards their purpose. 

Typically, there’s a lot of sacrifice that has to occur in the realm of relationships, simply because they are so independent and focused on building a kingdom. This can come in the form of a career, lifestyle, or home. 

Leo Destiny & Soul Purpose

Leos are on this earth to work on their personalities, their sense of self, and to establish a stronger, healthier version of individuality (the ego).

What is Leo Like in Love & Relationships? 

It’s life on the red carpet. Dating a Leo is a full experience. Romantic and generous, Leos love grandiose displays of affection. They go to great lengths to show their partner how much they appreciate them. Their confidence is admirable and they instill it in their romantic partners. They can be jealous and possessive, however. They may even try to control their partner a little too much

Leo Soulmate 

A Leo’s soulmate is someone who can appreciate them for their strengths and helps to support their goals. Fun-loving, Leos need someone similar in turn. They need a partner who is independent, who has their own sense of identity, as well as their own passions and interests. 

Remember this: Compatibility is never solely determined by signs, let alone sun signs. There are plenty of amazing relationships that have discordant signs, and terrible relationships that have harmonious signs.
