Their natural charisma and dignity will often draw other signs to them, falling under Leo’s magnetic pull. Like our Sun in the solar system, Leo zodiac signs love being the center of attention. They thrive on flattery compliments - which often come to them easily. Most of them will have an innocent quality to them, their happy and outgoing nature makes them a joy to be around. A Leo will love luxury and material things. They like to amass wealth and choose jobs that have a great salary and allow them to lead. They make for great leaders and protectors. Because of this, they are often cornerstone of social groups and will lead in planning processes and decisions. Conversely, they often don't do well in situations where they have to take orders from other people.

negatives of leo zodiac sign
Weaknesses: Egotistical, Dominating, Stubborn, Controlling, A Show-off, Vain
Those born under the Leo zodiac sign are driven by their egos, and do not do well when that ego is damaged. Their pride can often get them into a lot of trouble. This can happen when they are not in control of a situation. The love of being in charge and the driving their social groups can lead them to seem smothering to friends and family. This can also lead to them being left alone and ignored, which is just about the worst thing that can happen to a Leo. They are often quite easily hurt and do not deal with their insecurities well. Some Leos can be downright fragile when it comes to their pride, meaning they do not react well to criticism. When they feel snubbed they can start to childishly demand attention. Deep down inside, though their pride will never let them admit it, many Leos search for the approval of others. It helps them feel important and loved. Leo people can come across to other signs as being very arrogant and selfish, distancing them from those that they consider a waste of their time. An insecure Leo can sometimes be found showing off, desiring to prove that they are what they want to be perceived as.
