A Leo man is mostly quite spiritual in nature, and believes in enjoying life as it happens. He is not very amused when he is left out of things that he feels he should be a part of.

More than monetary rewards, they prefer job satisfaction and appreciation. A Leo man is quite a romantic, to say the least, always is looking for a loyal partner, is very attentive, and has the tendency to spend a lot of gifts for his partner. In return, he loves being pampered and getting all the attention he could. They are known to be very intense lovers, and want their love life to be very passionate and dramatic.

A Leo woman is very sensitive and can get upset or hurt easily. She won’t go around showing how sensitive she is to everyone. Only her close one’s will know, and when they do, it must be that she is really hurt or upset. A Leo woman is never mean and will not hurt anyone knowingly. She will also never hold a grudge against someone for long, and is very forgiving. She is also known to spend quite a lot of money, and also let people know about it. Like the Leo man, she too loves being appreciated for the work that she does. Overall, she is very cheerful, charismatic, fearless, affectionate and caring. With regards to the love aspect, a Leo woman always has high expectations from her partner. She doesn’t quite enjoy a routine love life, and always likes surprising romantic gestures. She is very warm at heart and also quite passionate. But mind you, she can also be a little bit over-demanding, dominating, stubborn at times, and also impulsive. These are some things that her partner will have to learn how to handle, if he wants a steady and long relationship with her.
