Do you know any Leo personalities? Check out these 13 best and worst traits of this fiery Zodiac Sign!

• 

If your birthday falls somewhere between July 23 - August 22, start practising your royal wave, because people born between these dates belong to the Leo Sun sign.

Known as the most regal zodiac sign in astrology, the Lion is a Fire sign that is ruled by the Sun. This would explain why Leo shines so bright in the spotlight. And as a Fixed sign modality, they are hesitant to change, preferring tradition instead.

What is a Leo?

• 

Leo is one of three Fire signs, along with Aries and Sagittarius. The Fire element has an energy that is colourful, passionate, and creative, helping Leo be the centre of attention, and shine bright no matter where they are or what they are doing.

Their presence is impossible to ignore, as their fiery energy lights up every room they walk into.

However, fire energy doesn't come without its downsides, which includes a tendency to occasionally burn everything and anything that seems to be its way.

Because of this, the Leo zodiac sign doesn't make the best team player. This often leads to upstaging others or not allowing anyone else to have their chance center-stage.

Fortunately, the Leo personality and their energy are so magnetic that it leaves anyone who comes in contact with them feeling empowered and stimulated.

The lion is the king of the jungle, just like Leo, so it's not difficult to see why this suits them so perfectly. Just like these big cats, Leos are powerful, dominating, and dignified. Leo is also known for being an adventurer and natural leader. In addition, they are naturally confident, which translates to a glamorous, outgoing personality that makes them naturally attractive.

The Leo sign is often referred to as the ruler of the Zodiac. They rule the roost! Whether it's for work or play, you can expect that a Leo will be the one in charge.

Like the true royalty of the Zodiac, Leo is driven by their desire to be admired and loved by all. They feel most at home in the limelight, and want others to remember them for their helpfulness and kindness.

8 Positive Leo Traits:

• 

1. Loyal:

Leos value loyalty, and, in return, they expect loyalty from the people around them. This also makes them trustworthy, meaning they will keep your secrets and be true to you. Leo will always have your back and you will never doubt their trust.

2. Wise:

If you seek guidance from Leo, be prepared to get exactly what you asked for. They are one of the most straightforward zodiac signs and won't hold back on telling it like it is. While their words of wisdom may seem harsh, they just want to be honest with you.

3. Confident:

Leo traits manifest a little differently in women than they do in men. While a Leo woman has confidence that makes her outgoing and fearless, she can sometimes be sensitive, especially when it comes to the things she believes in wholeheartedly.

Like the Leo woman, the Leo man is extremely self-confident, passionate, and flirtatious. As Leo, they are powerful and commanding because of their confidence and aren't scared to show it.

4. Passionate:

Leos are passionate and expressive, so you'll have no problem trying to figure out their interests. This is especially helpful in a relationship, as Leo has a tendency to express themselves with their body language, or even vocally.

5. Strong:

One of the most prominent Leo male traits is their strength, both mental and physical. Because they strive to be the best, it's no wonder they are so strong.

6. Generous:

Leos will give you the shirt off their back if you need it, and always come up with the best gifts. Leos have a lot of love to give, so they tend to be generous with their affection, attention, time, and money.

7. Natural Leader:

Leos are natural-born leaders. Because of their other traits, people are attracted to them. Their spirit and confidence make people trust Leo and, most importantly, their generosity and optimism give others a reason to trust them.

8. Determined:

Leos are determined and won't stop until they achieve what they set out to do. Once they get something in their mind, there's no stopping them. Their determination is guided by their positive outlook, which keeps them going even when they run into obstacles.

5 Negative Leo Traits:

9. Opinionated:

One of Leo's biggest negative personality traits is that they are extremely opinionated. Once they've made a decision about something, it's tough to convince them otherwise. You'll also probably never hear the end of it when they have something to say.

10. Attention-seeking:

Leo s also known for wanting all eyes on them. They don't mind being the centre of attention; in fact, they crave it. This means they often come across as self-centred.

11. Naive:

Because Leos have a big heart and are always open to helping others, they are frequently disappointed. Leos are easily taken advantage of because of their generosity and trusting nature.

12. Arrogant:

Leos are arrogant because of their self-confidence. They make things all about themselves and sometimes dismiss others who don't have the same goals as them.

13. Stubborn:

A Leo's determination can sometimes come across as being stubborn. They don't like asking for help because they have such a strong drive to do things by themselves. But their inability to ask for help can be seen as headstrong.
