I know more libras than leos.

this might sound like a typical stereotype , and i mght be totally wrong but that's just my perspective.

I think leos are more of "I gotta look my best" and once they do or think they do look their best, they get all confident. I don't think they care much about people' opinions once they are satisfied themselves

Libra, are more of "do I look good?" and people' opinions would effect them. I also think Libra seek beauty in their surroundings not like leos where its focused on people.

anyway, I don't think all the libras and leos are like that, one-two of the ones I know are concerned about their appearance but the others aren't.

I've noticed that Libras are more chilled than Leos when it comes to criticism
Very nice.

Esp...


I don't think they care much about people' opinions

I don't think Leo's are very concerned about their appearance, well not the one's that I've met. I think their confidence comes from their attitude and aggressiveness in getting what they want and being respected. And they hate to lose. That's what I've noticed. I know many Leo Ascendants and they are the one's who I noticed that are very concerned with their physical appearance and take good care of themselves and dress well.

Libra on the other hand IS a sign that cares about their physical appearance, and they tend to have amazing taste and have really beautiful facial features. I also notice this with Taurus, but it depends on the Taurus... Some don't care at all, but the one's that do are very superficial and love to look good.
I was tempted to add Taurus to the question initially, it's kind of a runner-up for what I've noticed.

this has been my experience also


My lover cancer has a leo moon and venus. He is SOOO DRAMATIC when he blow dries his hair, he does a show blowing me kisses, winking and tossing his mane around like hes in a pantene commercial!

He also buys the most expensive suits out and only buys THE BEST labels, dresses impeccably and has the color coordination skills of an artist! He can seamlessly put plaids, stripes, colors, stripes etc. together in a way Ive NEVER seen a straight man do, not ever!

If you agree, what are the differences and similarities between Leo & Libra, if any, with this?
*nods*

Libras are inherently superficial, and gravitate towards anything beautiful and flawless (on the exterior).

Leos are simply egocentric and want everyone to perceive (and treat) them as royalty.
click to expand

that's pretty good, "general" description wise.

libra is about the "other" so they look for a mirror of someone beautiful, and depending on their charts. someone they can be represented to look good for them too. Also to make them feel proud of themselves. It is a way of their "self" to feel proud, when one looks for the "other".

Leo is ego, the sun shines brightly in Leo, Dignified here. So leo has a strong sense of self. very very strong. They can stand alone, and people will gravitate around them, just like you see the sun and planets, circling around the sun. That is the representation of SUN = leo rules there.

haha, that's fun with the dramatics.

Does he want you to focus on your appearance in a similar way, wearing expensive clothes with designer labels?

some sites say that taurus is weak in the sun too because of "venus" ruled. Venus is not a strong area for the sun placement.

Saturn is also weak in the sun, and i've read capricorn is weak there as well, and aquarius is detriment there because it is not egocentric due to the the notion of looking out for "humanity". Of course you meet humble Leos and arrogant aquas, and not Always the other way around due to the placements in charts.

I honestly see Taurus as having better taste than both of us.
I've wondered about this. One of the best dressed people I know, wearing clothes that are a combination of very attractive & high quality (with materials) is a Taurus with Leo moon. I wasn't sure which part of them factored in more, though. She was very appearance conscious as a child too, taking more time than most to dress her dolls well.

No, not at all.

He always tells me I look beautiful and he truly sees me that way. I am 20 pounds overweight and he never even notices.

As long as I'm doing my fair share of admiring (which I don't mind), he is very happy. They really need to feel adored.

He is extraordinarily good looking man and needs women to be "checking him out" I guess, but I have my fair share of

admirers in addition to another partner (polyamorous relationship) so I'm Ok with it now. If he where my only partner the dynamics

might be different in terms of me being a bit more jealous and possessive, though I am a bit.. he is slightly more jealous.. Cancer w

Leo moon. He already wants to claim me and have me drop my other relationship of 13 years, he would do the same with his partner

but I'm not in a position to emotionally. I enjoy the variety in this phase of my life. TMI but my point is when someone truly loves you, you

are beautiful to them they don't feel the need to be picky (unless virgo or 6th house afflictions).

LOL!

My ex has those placements as well, he has this clothes obsession and rings obsession too! his wardrobe is almost all black but he got a style. he's better than me in hair straightening 😆 !
click to expand

Wow. he STRAIGHTENED his hair. That IS pretty extreme! LOL

As much as I adore my sweetness, if I ever see him pulling out a hair straightener I'll be running for the hills.

On a side note... my leo venus/moon asked me to punch him in the arm so he tell everyone at the office he was in a fight. I was like WHAAAAAA.................

He wanted his subordinates (employees) to have a vision of him as a pillar of strength and fortitude.

Sometimes I find myself laughing so hard at the sheer absurdity and in combination with the adorable big cat personality I rarely find myself getting angry.

Im not sure really. Im a pretty reserved looking virgo.. though Ive been told I look scorpio (my progressed sun and a lot of 8 house planets).

One thing I did notice was when we met his progressed venus at 24 degress virgo. My natal sun is 22 degrees virgo and in the natal his cancer sun is opposite my cap ascendant conjunct his north node exact and his ascendant is conjunct my south node by 2 degrees (double whammy).. We also have natal mars/pluto synastry (double whammy) and saturn contacts so there is a lot of magnetism between us, but I don't think its his leo moon, though the leo moon does fall into my 8th house and that seems quite magnetic. IDK, but my brother was also a leo moon and he passed away in late January. I met this guy 2 months after that. They do have a lot of similar qualities I admire.

When I dated a Libra he would always complement me on how I looked and would say he appreciated that I always looked nice for him. I think Libras and Leo's both appreciate beauty and that's part of the reason we make good matches. I don't think it's a vain thing on either side.
That's been my experience as well, with Libras and Leos that I've been close to (family members, dating, friendship). Very appreciative of beauty, and likely to compliment me for making an effort to look attractive.

Yes, Libras are more concerned about 'fitting in'. I think many tend to jump onto whatever fashionable bandwagon is rolling through town. But it's based more on instinct than self-doubt.

Leos are more concerned with having their egos stroked, whether by others or themselves, in order to suppress their own insecurities.

Leos love to feel like they're in charge, while Libras just love to be led.

Noo... LEOs love to be loved.

There's a difference.

@CocoKat That's great that he's not critical of you. 🙂 Hopefully any jealousy won't be strong enough to hurt what you have with each other and others.
Thanks Copperdove for the good will! He was the one who persued me pretty fiercely, he always tells me I look beautiful to him. Ive never been with a critical man, I stay with him because he is good to me and adores me. Just because I am a few pounds overweight doesn't mean that I would ever settle for less than the best kind of treatment. I could lose the weight but I don't really care, I enjoy eating what I want, he takes me to the best restaurants, we have extraordinary passion in bed and out, great chemistry and a lot of fun that would not change one bit if I where 20 pounds lighter or 20 pounds heavier than I am now.

I think this is true! Leos love to be loved and adored. But I do think Leos many leos (not all) like to feel like they fit in and that extends out to their partners, their children, their friends etc. I always try and look "corporate" to fit in when Im with my leo moon and his colleagues. Im pretty casual chic other times but he does like the people around him conforming to what his peers, friends etc. think is normal or even better...higher class, smarter, better looking, better fashion etc. Its more about approval from others, less about his personal taste. Many leos are just like that.

Leo and Libra influenced people I've known have often been more aware/concerned about their appearance than other signs.

They are also more likely to be accused of being vain about how they look compared to other signs.

Agree or not?

If you agree, what are the differences and similarities between Leo & Libra, if any, with this?
I don't know about Libras, but I am like that alot. It is a bit anal at times. I never want to be in dirty looking clothes (unless there is a good reason, like working with something messy) or worn out clothes. It is more to please myself than others. I want to feel like I look nice, whether anyone else agrees doesn't matter as much.

Attractive people(me) attract many people who can't even provide me with the intellectual conversation that I need. Neither can most of you on here with your elementary level assertions.
I have much self-awareness which is the result of my ego. My arrogance is relative to my intellect and not my appearance. But I do believe I am quite attractive.




Self awareness? Are you aware you come across like an ass. First you insult us, then you tell us we have elementary level assertions. You're "self awareness" and your intellect doesn't appear to be so developed if you think you think you can insult us not only with your words but also with your unfounded narcissistic tendencies.

Me too. I also enjoy it when others appreciate the care I take and compliment clothes I wear. But I do it for myself when alone, for sure, even when working with mucky things like gardening. For example, I bought very good quality rubber boots but they have a limited edition pretty pattern on them, lol.

I should mention that I don't care too much about name brands or fashion per-say, but what I like and what I think looks good on me. I love getting dressed up, but I prefer being more casual,
I don't either. There are a lot of very good quality attractive clothes that aren't by well known designers. I buy a lot of my clothes from designers who have small businesses and aren't well known, and don't charge a fortune, and I have them customized for my measurements when possible so they fit well (I'm quite small so this is often needed).

I also buy vintage clothes, in like-new condition, or dead stock, for reasonable prices.

Compliments are always nice to hear. I love cute rain boots! I used to buy them, but always destroy them so I stooped to getting the ugly black muck boots. Function over fashion at this point lol. Must be some secret to keeping the cute one functional that I don't know about lol.

I love little boutiques! That must be spend getting them sized. I can't do second hand of I don't know who the owner was. A part of me hates myself for it, but it is something I haven't overcome yet.

I should mention that I don't care too much about name brands or fashion per-say, but what I like and what I think looks good on me. I love getting dressed up, but I prefer being more casual,
I don't either. There are a lot of very good quality attractive clothes that aren't by well known designers. I buy a lot of my clothes from designers who have small businesses and aren't well known, and don't charge a fortune, and I have them customized for my measurements when possible so they fit well (I'm quite small so this is often needed).

I also buy vintage clothes, in like-new condition, or dead stock, for reasonable prices.
I love little boutiques! That must be spend getting them sized. I can't do second hand of I don't know who the owner was. A part of me hates myself for it, but it is something I haven't overcome yet.

Me too with little boutiques! I find a lot of very good designers on Etsy.com (designers all over the world) and usually customizations don't cost more. It's, of course, a bit of a risk to not be able to try something on before purchasing, but a good designer using accurate measurements can do a surprisingly good job. I rarely am unhappy with the fit.

I understand how you feel about second hand. I sometimes feel nervous about that too. Deadstock is a good option (items that were never sold, just sat in a warehouse somewhere).

Leo and Libra influenced people I've known have often been more aware/concerned about their appearance than other signs.

They are also more likely to be accused of being vain about how they look compared to other signs.

Agree or not?

If you agree, what are the differences and similarities between Leo & Libra, if any, with this?
I don't know about Libras, but I am like that alot. It is a bit anal at times. I never want to be in dirty looking clothes (unless there is a good reason, like working with something messy) or worn out clothes. It is more to please myself than others. I want to feel like I look nice, whether anyone else agrees doesn't matter as much.
Me too. I also enjoy it when others appreciate the care I take and compliment clothes I wear. But I do it for myself when alone, for sure, even when working with mucky things like gardening. For example, I bought very good quality rubber boots but they have a limited edition pretty pattern on them, lol.
Compliments are always nice to hear. I love cute rain boots! I used to buy them, but always destroy them so I stooped to getting the ugly black muck boots. Function over fashion at this point lol. Must be some secret to keeping the cute one functional that I don't know about lol.

Me too with cute rain boots! Mine are a bit scuffed now, but that's because I moved dirt with my feet that I probably shouldn't have. The boots are made by a French boot company that has been around a long time - Aigle. They are expensive, but I'm willing to pay more if the quality justifies it and I wait for sales.

I know more libras than leos.

this might sound like a typical stereotype , and i mght be totally wrong but that's just my perspective.

I think leos are more of "I gotta look my best" and once they do or think they do look their best, they get all confident. I don't think they care much about people' opinions once they are satisfied themselves

Libra, are more of "do I look good?" and people' opinions would effect them. I also think Libra seek beauty in their surroundings not like leos where its focused on people.

anyway, I don't think all the libras and leos are like that, one-two of the ones I know are concerned about their appearance but the others aren't.

I've noticed that Libras are more chilled than Leos when it comes to criticism
Yes, Libras are more concerned about 'fitting in'. I think many tend to jump onto whatever fashionable bandwagon is rolling through town. But it's based more on instinct than self-doubt.

Leos are more concerned with having their egos stroked, whether by others or themselves, in order to suppress their own insecurities.

Leos love to feel like they're in charge, while Libras just love to be led.
Noo... LEOs love to be loved.

There's a difference.

I think this is true! Leos love to be loved and adored. But I do think Leos many leos (not all) like to feel like they fit in and that extends out to their partners, their children, their friends etc. I always try and look "corporate" to fit in when Im with my leo moon and his colleagues. Im pretty casual chic other times but he does like the people around him conforming to what his peers, friends etc. think is normal or even better...higher class, smarter, better looking, better fashion etc. Its more about approval from others, less about his personal taste. Many leos are just like that.

Hmm... where is his moon and Mars?

But the end result is that they feel more in control... 😛

This, from a Capricorn.

I guess it's to be expected.

self-awareness...lol

el tigre, it is quite apparent within that lack, you are confusing stupidity for arrogance, and you're right its not your fault.
No. You are also spending too much time worried about me. Find someone else who cares.
click to expand

worried? don't overestimate yourself. You run around this forum insulting people, calling people names without the insight or intellect to back up your accusations. Just because you post a photo of a tiger and call yourself one does not make up for your lack of credibility. Your words are in desperate need of self reflection and self awareness if you are looking for the kind of respect that you are hoping your little tiger photo will bring you. Your a fake.

this has been my experience also


My lover cancer has a leo moon and venus. He is SOOO DRAMATIC when he blow dries his hair, he does a show blowing me kisses, winking and tossing his mane around like hes in a pantene commercial!

He also buys the most expensive suits out and only buys THE BEST labels, dresses impeccably and has the color coordination skills of an artist! He can seamlessly put plaids, stripes, colors, stripes etc. together in a way Ive NEVER seen a straight man do, not ever!
LOL!

My ex has those placements as well, he has this clothes obsession and rings obsession too! his wardrobe is almost all black but he got a style. he's better than me in hair straightening 😆 !
Wow. he STRAIGHTENED his hair. That IS pretty extreme! LOL

As much as I adore my sweetness, if I ever see him pulling out a hair straightener I'll be running for the hills.

On a side note... my leo venus/moon asked me to punch him in the arm so he tell everyone at the office he was in a fight. I was like WHAAAAAA.................

He wanted his subordinates (employees) to have a vision of him as a pillar of strength and fortitude.

Sometimes I find myself laughing so hard at the sheer absurdity and in combination with the adorable big cat personality I rarely find myself getting angry.

whaaaaaat? hahaha!! he's so fun! did you punish him though?

he does, how else the freaking quiff is going to look good? he used to tell his friends that its my straightener and that I

Mine has a cancer sun but his moon and venus are in leo and his progressed sun in leo. His leo dominates his personality most of the time. Ive known a few people with the traits I spoke of above who are leo suns or leo dominant but its only been within my experience. Im sure there are other types, I would love to know.

You're welcome. I didn't know about deadstock until a couple of years ago.
