But at the end of the day, we wouldn’t have them any other way. Leo has a big heart and, yes, a lot of its energy is directed inward (self-care for days!). But they definitely try to help their friends shine, too—they want you to feel just as confident as they do.

Like Scorpio loves mystery and Cap loves success, Leo loves to be at center stage. They can’t help it! And Leo doesn’t mean to be competitive about it, If they accidentally steal your moment, they’ll regret it. Talk to Leo about how you feel, and they’ll probably work hard to show you they’re sorry.

And as frustrating as this might be at times, Leo is a great person to have on your side of a fight. This sign is the definition of a ride or die: if you make it into their inner circle, Leo won’t let anyone cross you.

But let’s face it: Leo’s energy can be super fun, too! A lot of the time, Leo’s willingness to turn a boring story into an epic saga is actually super entertaining to be around. Plus, if they weren’t so theatrical, we’d miss out on amazing work made by famous Leos, like JLo, Viola Davis, and Steve Carrel.

To lots of people, Leo’s leadership is comforting. Someone’s got to be in charge, and Leo’s happy to comb through tons of logistics to make sure everyone’s happy. In short, they may not give up control, but they’re great at taking the lead!

However, Leo doesn’t stay down for long. In general, waves of jealousy roll by quickly, and Leo will be able to get back to being their fabulous, fun self.
