Leo's and money
Are Leos Cheap or Self-Reliant When It Comes to Money
Leos may appear frugal or self-reliant because they value independence and control over their finances. Their confident and ambitious nature drives them to manage money carefully, but they also enjoy spending on things that boost their confidence and status. Understanding Leo’s personality helps clarify their approach to money and spending habits.
I can't speak for all Leos, but I'm a sucker for the most expensive price. That could be because I have sun in 2nd house though.
I think you've confused Leo with Capricorn
um, if they have Cancer venus, Virgo venus, and Taurus moon........
they WILL be cheap. lol
not kidding here.....experiencing this truly.
well, they are just very careful with their monies, counting every penny.... very FRUGAL.
but if they splurge, they will do so because they already calculated enough money before hand. lol
edit
ok, wait...the word CHEAP is bad...and not really terribly good to use.
but FRUGALITY is really in their DNA if they have these placements. And other frugal peeps will APPRECIATE this...
oh I forget...if they have Capricorn in their chart. it's a sure bet they will be FRUGAL too... so earth/water...

Not at all! Totally altruistic!
I don't think I know any cheap Leos. Frugal, sometimes, but the focus in on quality so they have nice things even if their budget is tight. Also, a lot of Leos I know have practical and creative skills that help them create what they want sometimes. Carpentry skills, for example.

UPS store?You can do better than that.
Loooolllll —. At the moment I think my cancer sun is attracted to the stability; he's worked there for years.

He probably has to be efficient for that job, at least, and possibly some creativity is involved, hard to say. All Leos I know are creative in some way, and/or they have a flair for design even if they don't create all parts of the design themselves.

I work at a health office but I'm youngish still we have a few years age difference.
Not cheap. I will get the best quality "x" that I can afford, or maybe a little more than I can afford and do without something else to make up for it. That could be my earth influence.
Not cheap.
Spend money to make money.
And save like there's another GFC just around the corner 😆

I'm a Leo Sun, Aries Asc and no we are not cheap. In fact Leos are not even close to being cheap. If we have Capricorn in out chart we may be a bit more frugal. For example I have a Capricorn Mars, so does another Leo friend of mine, ane we tend to save a bit more.
That being said, Leos do think we can do lot ourselves, but are completely fine letting other people do things for us as well.
I think you may be confusing us with Capricorns.

not only capricorns...cancer too. Cancer/Cap axis, even if you google lots on cancer energies, cancer man especially, they are known to be "tight" or rather, SAVERS of money.
so if he's got cancer venus, cancer mars, cancer moon, you can bet he is not a spendthrift.
i'll give you an example of the Leo sun who is staying with us on vacation,
he has Cancer Venus, Taurus moon. Leo mars.
I don't think it's his Leo sun or Leo mars...
but his Cancer venus and Taurus moon is FRUGAL.
he got a plane ticket looking out for cheaper deals online, and found something a city away, 2 - 3 hours away and his parents drove him there so he doesn't have to take a charter plane or drive there himself because parking is expensive..
so he flew from THAT city because the city is bigger, and therefore if the city is bigger, you can have MORE chances of flights that are cheaper...and his parents drove him so he doesn't have to waste the gas.
this is a 30 plus young man. Not an 18 year old or 20 year old. ( teens normally get super cheap student flights where they lay over 3 lay overs, 36 hour LONG ass flights)
and this guy got a long layover, lol
and then when we all go out on groups, with my other family members and friends, he will dutch it of course, but PREFERS to eat at home to save money. lol
this is FRUGAL. 😄 not kidding here..
this is a LEO Sun with cancer and Taurus in his chart in ACTION.
😆
it's cool though. you can tell the frugality.
but he likes nice things of course. he buys himself nice stuff and he loves good food.
edit
also above...that is a GOOD TIP for FRUGAL folks wanting to fly. lol
drive out to a BIGGER city to get cheaper flights. (also extra layovers, and LONG flights will get you cheap)
oh I nearly forgot.
my leo sun lady neighbor...
she always tells me, "go to that supermarket, it's CHEAPER, that one you go to....it's too expensive."
and she is with a Virgo sun partner for decades...
so.. guess what?? if youre with a virgo man, she definitely has FRUGAL placements.
see? easy to figure out.

Hmm... yeah, among the personal planets, Venus can be
two signs away, and Mars can be anywhere.
But Mercury can't be further than 30° away from the Sun.
That was my understanding--
The Mountain Astrologer says this:
Mercury is never more than 28° from the Sun,
and Venus never more than 48° .
Then again, it could all be bunk... but those are the 'rules.'

I think Leos, along with Virgos, are big spenders.As others have already mentioned, Leos love to buy the best quality... even though, in most cases, the 'best quality' is nothing but an illusion based on bullshit marketing. Yeah, Leos are complete suckers for that kind of thing...
Meh, I dunno. I bought a Coach purse that my mom freaked out over me spending the money for but that was almost 20 years ago and I still use it (it will soon need replacing because the strap is finally breaking). I have other cheaper purses but don't use them at all. I wouldn't say it's not the best quality that I could afford.
My mobile phone (Samsung Note 2) is at least 2 years old, and I don't plan on replacing it until it goes black.
Again maybe not "the best" quality but the best I can afford.
There are other examples but those will do.

I don't agree, when it comes to quality... time
and experience have taught me that.
Esp for things that are used daily or close to it,
like shoes, handbags, winter or weather gear
etc... and I use them until I can't.
You end up spending more having to replace
cheap things that fall apart.
Even makeup... the good stuff works better (no
comparison) and lasts much longer than the
drugstore variety.
If it didn't (and I have tried it more than once), it
wouldn't make sense to spend the extra money.

I hear you but I think Leos (especially the younger ones) rarely bother compromising unless they have to. While other signs are more selective, when to comes to this mindset, I find Leos apply this belief across the board.
Also, just because something is more expensive or prestigious, doesn't necessarily mean it's better (quality-wise) than the cheaper alternatives. Sometimes, trial and error is required, but I don't think many Leos have the patience for that (or are too fixed to step outside their mindframe).

'... just because something is more expensive or prestigious, doesn't necessarily mean it's better (quality-wise) than the cheaper alternatives.'
Yeah.. I don't disagree.
Prestige is useless without endurance.
By the same token, spending less doesn't
always mean you're getting the best deal.

I'll admit that if I had money to spend, I'd spend it. But I wouldn't say that I spend with abandon or if it's going to break me.
When I was 30 I wanted to go on a cruise but didn't want a tiny stateroom. I booked a penthouse suite year early, found another Leo coworker to go with me, and we paid $ 600 a month until the cruise date. I wouldn't have had it any other way, and I had the money to do it. It was an awesome room and a great cruise. Go big or go home.
I don't have that much disposable income anymore, so don't spend money like that anymore. But if my financial situation changes, yep, Imma do it again.

wow check you out. 600 dollars a night for a suite on a cruise? till the due date? you must have split it for 300 a night, but that's expensive for even a 2 week cruise or even one week.
most people wouldn't spend more than a 150 dollars a night even ...unless they really are rich.
rich people just spend a lot of money because they can.
they buy first class flights or business class it's nothing for them. lol
maybe someday you'll do the cruise again!
that sounds amazing.

It was $ 3000 pp for a 7 day cruise. Mostly inclusive; air fare to/from port, food, non alc. bev.
Really not much more than any other week long vacation that requires travel/hotel, and worth every penny.
