Putting a Spotlight on Leo Men: Everything You Need to Know About This Fire Sign
Read the below for anyone with a Leo sun or Leo rising sign, and find even more information on Leo compatibility here.
Look who’s making a grand entrance! He’s got a signature style that turns heads and a personality that contains multitudes. There’s no overlooking a Leo man when he struts into the room.
True, he might spend the, ahem, lion’s share of his time lounging in bed while he intermittently watches and films his own YouTube videos. He might even start looking like a wild man! Finneas—Billie Eilish’s Leo brother/co-writer/producer—has enraged his sibling by showing up to work barefoot or in dirty shoes and propping them up inches from her face during recording sessions.
Nevertheless, don’t underestimate this king. He’s the pride male in the Sahara. Lazing about is part of his energy conservation program. When it’s time for the hunt, he cleans up beautifully, and he’ll make sure you get a front-row view—or a front seat, like theatrical Leo James Corden, who turned every road into a stage by playing “Carpool Karaoke” with A-list celebs.
Simply roll out a red carpet, and you’ll see this side of him emerge. Invite him to a lavish party, VIP event, or awards show. (See: Leo Austin Butler.) He’s the ultimate arm candy and plus one, drawing attention like a street performer waking up a quiet subway car with jaw-dropping dance moves.
So never, ever ask the Leo man to hide his light. Nope, not even if you find his bids for attention glaringly obvious. He is ruled by the sun and knows that his shine provides an energy source for us all. And as one of the three fire signs (along with Aries and Sagittarius), he naturally sparks up any room.
Fortunately, he does it with heart, the organ that Leo rules. Speaking of his heart, passion flows out of this guy, making him one of the zodiac’s most romantic signs. Like Leo Joe Jonas, he’ll invite you to eat cake by the ocean, and you simply won’t be able to turn down the offer.
It’s generally love at first sight with the Leo man, but be fair warned: Leo is jungle royalty. He is 100 percent expecting you to step up and be part of his personal monarchy. A Cinderella story come true? Sure, but that inflated level of pressure is not for everyone.
The wise Leo man will mix in humility with his nobility. He will put his lion(ess) up on a pedestal and take time for regular worship hours. Leo Barack Obama has always been liberal with his public praise of Capricorn wife, Michelle. In his final speech when leaving the White House, he teared up while acknowledging her: “You took on a role you didn’t ask for...you made the White House a place that belongs to everybody.”
And while a Leo might present as a player, don’t make assumptions. As one of the zodiac’s four fixed signs (along with Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius), he has a stable, traditional streak. He loves to be the hero for the people in his realm and, like the former president, can be a generous provider and unwavering protector.
What Sir Leo needs more than anything is a financial planner. With the sun as his guardian, he generally doesn’t believe in saving for rainy days—which is probably fine if you’re Lil Uzi Vert, a Leo whose budget is more “Bugatti” than “beer.”
Yet most Leo men don’t have funds to, say, implant a $24 million, 10-carat pink diamond in their foreheads, like Uzi famously did. Nor can most Leo men buy a pink diamond as an ill-fated engagement ring, like Leo Ben Affleck did for J.Lo in 2002.
Best to give King Leo an exciting goal to save up for. Ideally this will be an asset that appreciates in value over time, like an apartment in New York City or an art collection. If he’s not the outwardly materialistic type, he might be motivated by purchasing his toys of choice or donating to charity, like modest Leo Daniel Radcliffe.
But to get the most out of your big cat, he’s going to need lots of praise and petting. In addition to the heart, Leo also rules the back. Stroke him often, give him massages. Heck, maybe even administer chiropractic adjustments, like Dr. Jocelyne Miranda, who is rumored to be dating Leo Shawn Mendes.
Mr. Leo can be tireless, boundless, and a whole lot to handle. With his leonine fierceness in tow, he’s both a lover and a fighter. (Case in point: brawny Leo demigod Jason Momoa.) He’s the complete package for anyone hoping to find a sweep-you-off-your feet, fairy-tale fella.
Along the way, he might exhaust you, but don’t expect him to stop while you snooze. The fastest man in the world is a Leo: Jamaican sprinter and eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt. This dude would rather keep it moving than turn down his force field to cater to those who cannot handle his might!
Best Match: Aries
Proud Leos love themselves more than anyone, and Aries might be the only sign that can match that sky-high sense of self-worth. But both entitled signs want to be worshiped and spoiled, which can turn into a battle for dominance. As long as they take turns letting each other be a star, this could be a production for the ages.
Worst Match: Pisces
At first it’s all champagne and roses for these two romance junkies, but the stars can quickly fade from their eyes when Leo’s demands for attention pull Pisces away from their dream time. When egos get triggered and Leo asks Pisces to make one too many sacrifices, the lion and the barracuda can rip each other to shreds.
