How 'bout those Leos?
Im obviously not a scorp but i couldnt resist this one. Leos are my new fave pets, love them! I had some preconcieved ideas about u guys before but boy was i wrong. I have recently befriended a leo male, he is the funniest person i have ever met, we giggle together like 2 school girls. Leos are also very generous ppl, like aries and sadge- i think this is a trait of the fire family. What i hate thou is their focus on material things, eg. refusing to be seen or buy things at a certain place bcoz its +low class+ and their love of compliments. The guy has style but i just cant compliment him 24/7, sorry. Other than that, u guys are fabulous..next to aquas that is, lol.
i love a lot of things about leos. they're a fascinating species and i particularly like to probe the males....for research purposes of course 😛
i have a few leo gf's and what i like about them is they are FEISTY with the cap lock on but inside they're kinda gooey and so unbelievably nice it's hard to reconcile what you see with what you get. great friends. loyal to the death although not loyal to the detriment of their miu mius, lol. one leo gf of mine got really pissy with me for not noticing her shoes when we went out. proper sulky. a scorp would just sulk and say nothing but leos put it all out there which i LOVE. she just said...'why haven't you told me how great my shoes are already—?' i told her it's cos i tend to look at peoples' faces more than their feet but OMG....are they miu miu—? they are totally AWESOME gf!!!.....and everything was fine 😄
the men are very different imo. i still like 'em a whole bunch though cos the one thing about leo men is that they damn well charm the pants off people and when they're talking to you, it's like you're the only person in the world but then a second later, if someone else enters the room....POOF!!! they're off and engaged in animated conversation with someone else in the bat of an eyelid.
when i went on a business trip with a leo, i had just popped up to my room to change for dinner. when i came down, he was in the bar surrounded by women and they were all giggling like schoolgirls. he did introduce me but was obviously anxious to resume regaling them with his witty stories....leo men can NOT resist a captive audience. especially if they're female, lol.
the men also expect you to be at their beck and call. they may not need anything from you for weeks but when they do, they expect an instant pickup if they call. i like to not do that cos they get all pissy and start throwing their toys out of the pram but you have to establish firm boundaries with the men cos they WILL take the piss.
by and large though, i love lions very much. they're the greatest to stroke and please cos when they feel good, they make everyone around them feel good too. they spread their sunshine unselfishly cos that's their buzz.
and that's your lot for nice things to say about the men. one thing i do know is to use compliments sparingly but make 'em sincere. shame they can't be like that too, lol.

LoL @ Rigormotis. Cracked me up.
If I get compliments all the time I feel they start to loose their meaning, even if they are sincere. I perfer mine to be delivered, as you say "sparingly". 😉 Must be my Cancer moon, it mellows me out, everything from my ego to the sulking when people don't notice my shoes ,lol.

yeah but what about you enfant? do you compliment others sparingly and mean them or do you use tactical compliments as part of your charm offensive. EH—
Hmmm... I use "tactical compliments" only out of fear, like fearing not being liked by someone I like and respect. Then I usually use compliments to attract them. I call it "tactical" only because the compliments are delivered in a more straight-forward fashion than what's usually my style .
But having said that, there are very few people that I need 'validation' from so I never sprinkle compliments around me in order to get some back from people I don't care about to begin with. Most of the time I just want to isolate myself from the world, and surround myself only with the people that I genuinly care for.

Hahahahaha! This. So somehow I seem to find great shoes at great bargains, and my Aqua aunt (I don't get along with Aquas at all) always has something to say about my shoes. She praises them, but with scathing undertones (Yes, my Cancer Ascension knows these things) or some kind of jealous implication. It has become so frustrating that when someone else compliments my shoes, I get suspicious. lol

Interesting about Aqua women and Leo women in "general", because Linda Goodman says these two usually dont want to interact with eachother or stay away from eachother - unless they have other planetary influences.
Posted by Jynja
Well, it's not just the women. I don't gel with Aquas and I stay as many miles as I can from them. My Leo nephew walked out on his Aqua mom when he was 15, too. Maybe it's just my family Lions and the Aquas.
i honestly never really took notice before, until i started reading linda goodman. i'm fine with leos, they don't bother me. So maybe there is an "opposite" attract and definitely a hate attraction in some family and friends. Something to read further into.
Wait... how did this become about Leos and Aquas? Oh wait it's DXP, nevermind.
😉
don't be fooled with leos, they're the sweetest people.
(the ones i know at least)

The guy I dated before the Scorp was a Leo. Handsome, super hot body (Six pack? Please. This guy had like a 10 or 12 pack.), friendly, with a very charismatic smile. He definitely came off as a "guy's guy", masculine, but was aware enough of his looks that he paid attention to how he dressed, was well groomed, but not overly so (a little metrosexual). Very physically sexual behind closed doors (in a very good way, haha). At the same time, he was one of the most insecure people I had ever met. By outward appearances, he gave off a confident vibe, but anyone who is halfway observant could see through that if you spent any length of time with him. If he said something that could be interpreted as complimentary to himself, if you watched his mannerisms, you would wonder who he was really trying to convince of his greatness: you or himself? HUGE attention whore, and a very strong need to be liked by everyone. So much so that his schedule was overloaded to the point of exhaustion because he didn't want to say no to anyone who invited him to an event, or wanted to go play tennis with him, or go have coffee, etc etc etc. A "holier than thou" attitude always seemed to be lurking just under the surface of the friendly exterior too.
Needless to say, we only dated for a little over a month before I was out the door. We were friends for about 6 months after, but I eventually dropped that as well. Couldn't stand the constant subtle fishing for compliments. Even though he said he missed hanging out with me, it always felt more like he missed HOW I MADE HIM FEEL when he was hanging out with me. Of course you want to build your friends up, but when it's rarely or never reciprocated, it gets old fast. No one-sided relationships of any kind for me, thank you very much.

So what's *his* side of the story, Pisces? 😉
Haha, you'd have to ask him. He is the only Leo I've dated though, so your mileage may vary.

It's a shame you had a bad experience. 😢
Some Leos take the "holding court" thing a little too far.click to expand
He's not a bad person (as far as I could tell). Just not the type of personality that meshes with mine very well. I think sometimes our natures/upbringing/astrological makeup cause us to act in ways that seem completely normal to us, and we have no clue how they can be perceived by others in a negative way (happened to me more than once). If you're not aware of it, there'd be no reason to consider whether or not you want change that behavior. I think a lot of times, he was unaware of how his actions were perceived.

I'm curious. Do you know what else was in his chart? Specifically how much Air?
Not sure. I *think* his birthdate is 8/2/78, no idea on the time or location.

In and through Leo, there is a connection to the Divine, the Godhead. You'll typically feel that energy in a Leo's presence.

The process of individuation is the Leo phase of psychological development. The deepest desire to return to the creative source prompts an inner quest for self-knowledge, higher consciousness and self-realization. The myth of Parcifal in search of the Holy Grail is an archetypal Leo story. Because Leo symbolizes the first phase of the process, there is a peculiar blend of the mortal, human, and elemental nature spirit: the divine and the aboriginal. Leo understands the value of integrating the primitive and the primordial with the intellectual and the cultural. He wrestles with the collective unconscious, the raw material of consciousness, in order to redeem it through creative expression. Spirit needs to accommodate or incorporate matter in some way. George Bernard Shaw used the term "Supermen?? to describe those individuals who were prepared to dissociate themselves from the herd of humanity and from the hypnotic pull of mass consciousness.

Sign of Leo
Leo, the Lion, symbolizes Jesus Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who will return at the Second Advent, conquer the enemies of Israel (Num 24:8-9, 17; Isa 13:1-16; Jer 25:30-38; Joel 1-3; Zech 14:3; Rev 5:5; 19:11-21), and rule as King (Psa 145:10-13; Isa 11; Isa 33-35; Isa 65:17-25; Dan 7:27; Zeph 3:15; Zech 14:9; Rev 2:27; 12:5; 15:3; 19:16). Leo is symbolized by the Tribe of Judah (Gen 49:9-10).
Leo symbolizes:
The King and royalty (1 Ti 6:15; Rev 17:14; 19:16)
Sovereign power and authority (Matt 28:18; 26:64; Eph 1:20-22; Phil 2:9-11; Col 2:10; 1 Pet 3:22)
Military might (2 Chron 32:21; Jude 14-15; Rev 19:11-21)

did i miss something—??

for a while, he changed his fb name to jacques cousteau.
In this life time, it's the sign that I gel best with, they're expressive and I'm calm. They have a need to be heard and I am more a listener and adviser. We're very supportive in our own way. We balance each other out. They show me things that I probably would have never seen if it wasn't for them.
The ones I have in my life, always mean to do right, no matter how it actually comes out and I can respect that. Their honesty is what I appreciate the most, they're very prideful and can easily be blinded defending it but when in trust they'll express honestly and that's a beautiful thing.
My best friend and the brother I'm closest to are Leos. The women around my way seem to always be Leos. On the not so good side, they can be fanatics, so if they like you, they'll listen to you and if they don't, they'll take nothing from you. So someone that they don't like can say something good and they wont take it unless it's said by someone they believe in. As for the problem I have with the women is their need for attention, it often puts me in a bad position when attempting at building something more fruitful and I have met a few who were vulgar.
