Leo Characteristics

Charismatic, strong-willed, and fun-loving are just a few adjectives that Leos are often associated with. And "adorned" is exactly the right word, because people with the Leo star sign or ascendant are perceived as style-conscious and extravagant. Leos enjoy being admired and thrive when they are the focus of attention. Their energy and charisma can be quite captivating. However, despite their natural magnetism, Leos are not typically narcissistic. As a fixed sign, Leos have a steady personality and are secure and self-assured.

While Leos are extroverts who enjoy freedom and flirtation, they are also very family-oriented. This devoted star sign would go to any length to protect those they care about. They see themselves as a leader and protector from external threats.Their sunny disposition can quickly turn into rage if someone dares to violate their honour — even if it is irrational. So it's no surprise that Leos don't take criticism well.

In fact, Leos have some weaknesses. They care deeply for those they love, but Leos aren't particularly empathetic or attentive — they may end up focusing on themselves. Deep-thinking water signs such as Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces may be bothered by Leos' apparent superficiality. Furthermore, both male and female Leos can appear dominant at times. This is most likely due to the strong sense of responsibility that this zodiac sign has. Leos have stamina, but patience is not their strong suit. Unlike the intellectually driven Geminis,Leos are known for trusting their instincts. As a fire sign ruled by the sun, they are too energetic to spend much time contemplating things.
