Why are they so protective?

My Leo brother is extremely protective of me, even though he's younger than me.lol
I love Leos...they're so warm, caring and funny...also they give you the most wonderful gifts.

Ive not noticed Leos before as warm and caring, maybe the protective bit in your brother is because hes your brother, its natural for most brothers to want to prtect thier sisters, i have a Leo female cousin and shes anything but protective, she thinks shes the best thing since sliced bread, she cant quite understand how anyone could not like her (seriously)

On the plus side, she is very funny, very entertaining, she talks till she cant breath, but shes a pain in the arse sometimes and very sneaky.

You have a point there moloko, I think it's b/c my brother has a pisces Asc. and that makes him a bit different from other Leos.He doesn't like to boast as much as other leos I have met so far either.And YES, they do have the gift of gab.lol.
