You like things a certain way and often take charge in situations in order to orchestrate things based on your preferences. Immense amounts of creativity allow you to share your talents with the world. You enjoy being appreciated for the things that you do, being yourself, and the gifts that you share. 

Many things come naturally to you, therefore, you have a wide range of different abilities and skills you can play within life. You were born under the fixed modality, which means you are determined and prefer situations that allow you to feel stable, secure, and alert to what might happen next.

Leo in Love

A Leo falling in love is a beautiful thing. You are a warm and generous lover, tending to be romantic in how you approach affection. You are a fire sign and with this often comes a high sex drive or desire for consistent physical closeness. Rushing into a relationship is not really your thing, instead, you prefer to date for a while or date around. 

You do enjoy long-term commitment once you connect to someone you feel compatible with. Over time you may come to recognize that emotionally opening up or expressing vulnerability is a bit of a challenge for you. Whereas intellectual and other physical connections may be easily had, finding a way to trust someone enough to be able to reveal what is on your heart, can only happen after some time. 

Relationships for you need to have a good blending of both excitement and consistency. You don’t want to get bored, but you don’t want to feel unstable either. Leo really needs both in order to feel satisfied in a partnership.

Meeting someone that is able to match you in dominance and communication skills is great for your sign and creates more fulfillment and mutual attraction in a connection. When you and another person are able to give each other the compliments, gifts, and attention each of you wants, things tend to be more harmonious for you in love.
