Leo is the fixed fire sign. Think contained flames. Like a campfire that needs constant attention to keep alive and warm. There is a deep love for life and all of its possibilities...including its luxuries and that love transfers over beautifully into how a Leo expresses their feelings. Love with a Leo is like a magnificent encounter with the sun. They are warm and supportive when their heart is given and their affections grow stronger the more they feel that their partners care about them and adore them in return. Leo's are dramatically romantic and not afraid to show it. They enjoy pulling their loved ones out into their world and radiate when they feel their partners compliment some quality about themselves. Love becomes a thing of luxury and the partner receives the abundance of their personal Leo's attention,. lust and emotions. Because Leo's judge themselves on what they have around them (hence their love of luxury) they can be too appearance conscious at times and too critical of a mates qualities, appearance or talents. Because they truly need constant input to maintain their vitality they can sometimes become self-serving...occasionally to a point that it becomes egotistical.

You'll find that love with a Leo is like no other love...and when they decide to give you their heart....they also give you every inch of their soul. In this lies the Leo vulnerability....when their trust is broken they crumble. They, again, base their own self judgements on those they adore. Take away the loved one...and you've taken away their own identity in many ways. When Leos feel let down (and it usually takes a great deal) they either fall into an abyss of pain and depression.. or they get utterly cold and without feeling. The lion....in protective mode.

Leo Sexuality: Leo's sexuality is as light filled and life filled as their ruling planet, The Sun. They are usually full of showmanship and expressive displays of attention. They enjoy the height of all feelings in life and sexual pleasure is just another glorious field to explore the luxuries of the body through. Leo's can be aggressive, passionate and encompassing lovers with exotic tastes...remember it is is the love of life that inspires Leo and they can be wonderfully creative and experimental, especially when they feel secure. They are as proud in passion as they are in any other area of life and perhaps more so. The more appreciated and cherished they feel the more expressive and passionate they become.

The long term story: Leos being fire signs are rather high maintenance partners. They require attention, nurturing and pampering. A mate has to be personally strong in themselves to enhance the partnership but also willing to step occasionally into their Leo's shadow. Leos are protective to the death for those they love and they are generous and expressive in a long term union that is constantly stoked and fed. Keep the campfire metaphor in mind. Unattended it dies out...mistreated it flares into unpredictable life and burns...but kept constant and tended it turns into a life giving warmth that is undying.

Leo In Love:
When in love, Leo's love of fun is only outdone by the romantic in them. They are faithful lovers with a passion that may seem too hot to handle! Leos may not always be willing to try new things which did not spring from their own fantasies, but a clever lover may slowly introduce new methods of expressing love to their relationship. Once the Leo realizes they are fun they will be won over. Leos sometimes cling to bad relationships because their egos will not allow them to admit they may have made a mistake. Also, being forever optimistic, it is impossible for a Leo to see any problem as insurmountable. Overall, the Leo will prove to be a wonderful mate. Their love of children makes them a natural parent. They are generous, warm and truly want the best for everyone. Their loyalty and sense of honor makes it unlikely they will be indiscrete.
