LEO (♌)

The brave heart of the zodiacs, Leos are born between July 22 and August 23. Like their symbol Lion, Leos are born leaders who command power and respect. They are sweet talkers with a charming sense of humor. Incredibly loving, they have the biggest hearts which they hide under a tough exterior. They're the ones with the most ostentatious style and oodles of sex appeal. It's hard not to spot the Lion in a crowd. However, Leos are proud beings and seem to believe that the world revolves around them. Like the element Fire, Leos are wild, defiant and difficult to subjugate.

Characteristics Of Leo Women

 The Leo woman is as warm, kind and compassionate as she is majestic. She demands attention and gets it too. Men drop like flies around the sexy lioness. A Leo woman needs to be wooed and pursued. She likes the finer things in life. She has the loudest laughter and a great sense of style. She can be a bit of a narcissist and entitled. Born under the hottest suns of summer, a Leo woman is hot-headed and arrogant. If you hurt her pride, you might have to face her, claws out. However, once you get to know her, you will realize she is soft like cotton under that tough exterior she puts on to avoid getting hurt. Getting her to open up and put down her walls may seem like a Herculean's task, but it is worth it. A Leo female is smart in the head, elegant in her gait, and brave in the heart.
