Are leos, in general, strong, but non confrontive and a little passive?!
Question: Of course that's until extremely angry.
Answers: Of course that's until extremely angry.
i'll give u a description of a leo.
All Leos are born between July 24 and August 23
The best side of Leo comes out when he or she is called upon to be noble, philanthropic, powerful, warm-hearted, loyal, protective and logical.
The not-so-pleasant underbelly of the Leo character appears when we notice Leo waxing arrogant, show-offy, vain, tyrannical, promiscuous, imperious and overbearingly self-congratulatory.
Leos are magnificent people with tons of panache who always insist on being the hosts of their own outstanding shows. It's a well known fact - no Leo ever goes placidly un-noticed. Wherever a Leo lives, works or interacts, there is always instant, visible evidence of his or her personality. Leos put their stamp on everything they touch. They decorate the house their way. They dress themselves (and their mates and kids) their way. They create projects which are undeniably theirs and they drive their kind of vehicle and buy their favorite DVD. In short, Leo rules. Hence the Leo trademark appears on every tangible item in his or her immediate vicinity.
Branding, as they do, their every act and possession with their personal seal, Leos show the world who they are and what they mean to convey. If little Lisa goes to school wearing flowered lederhosen, it's because her Leo mother adores those Austrian duds that she found on her trip to Europe last year and wants others to notice them. Never mind if Lisa prefers tattered jeans and skimpy t-shirts. Momma Lion rules. If Leo's Aries wife wears Armani suits and Charles Jourdan shoes to match, it is very likely that she sought her Leo husband's seal of approval before buying them. Leo men who want to seem tough and powerful will drive tough, powerful cars and Leo women who prefer to appear poetic, will ride spiffy Italian scooters and wear long flowing scarves and jaunty berets on their furry heads. For Leos, marking their territory with their own identity is foremost among priorities.
No matter what they do for a living or how they choose to appear to others, Leos are always on some sort of self-constructed stage where they (and only they) perform. Maybe they merely tell stupid jokes or recount silly stories about their co-workers. Or perhaps they gently tease their family and friends at table or hold steamily forth on some political view or other or cook expertly,turning pancakes in the air or whipping up exotic sauces, in front of all their guests. But whatever the performance may be, when you are in the presence of a true Leo person, you are supposed to notice them first, to acknowledge their superior presence and (if possible) to applaud and laugh at even the dumbest of their jokes.
When I say that Leos are noble, I really mean that. Leos may rule with an iron hand but they do so good-heartedly and with the best of intentions. Leos are fast and willing friends. They will help you out, lend a hand or money, stay up all night with your squalling baby or give you the shirt off their back - as long as you remember to recognize their favors and never forget to clap loudly, squeal with delight and pat them on the back when the good deed is accomplished.
Leos also like drama. Not that they create neurotic scenes or stage temper tantrums. Rather, Leos enjoy exhibiting themselves in positive ways. They may be actors or dancers or singers or painters or writers, but they won't act or dance or sing, paint or write in some secret ivory tower. If a Leo creates, he or she also shows the work; and the purpose of the presentation is to be seen or heard or read aloud and then complimented on the excellent work they have accomplished. Leos live for attention. They are all about ego definition and about spreading that unique personal identity to their public.
Most Leos cultivate an entourage. They enjoy the company of the herd and cherish their place among those who belong to, appreciate and admire them. For this reason, Leos are family-oriented and will be the first to organize the giant barbecue for Grandpa's 75th birthday or spend more money than is decent on a daughter's marriage reception or blow their life savings on a son's graduation party. Part of this desire to entertain casts of thousands is to impress, but the other part is designed by Leo so that he or she can play.
There is something of the grownup child in Leo. He or she will always try to be where there is fun to be had. Leo loves to exist in the present, to leave the past in the dust and experience the joy of the moment.
If you're looking for a steady partner who holds his or her own in a marriage, you can count on a Leo. Leos (with the occasional slip up in the bedroom dep't.) usually prove to be steady spouses and make excellent, caring parents. Although sex and passion are important to Leo, longevity is moreso. Leo wants to create a family - a unit of devoted people who respect, admire and most all - applaud him or her for every generous, proud Leonine gesture that he or she performs. Leos get on best with Aries and sometimes with Gemini too. They make interesting mates for ethereal Aquarians and are especially drawn to Capricorns whose diligence and industry they admire. Some advise the lustier Leo to marry sexy Scorpios. I don't.
Professionally, most properly-appreciated Leos will succeed. They need to be employed in leadership positions and given lots of room to expand, evolve and create. Leos can do well in business, are entrepreneurial, make superlative artists of all sorts and excel at law, medicine and other socially prestigious (and visible) careers
YES ,i am a leo male and can go along with that as a generalisation of my personality.
Yes, my man is a Leo. He's a little passive at times but you know what lines not to cross with him...he's strong.
I find they are passive agressive in the way they deal with things they want in life.They are also kind but controling
yes know a leo, she's like that.
Leo's are passionate and love attention. I know I don't like conflict but as you said.... make me mad... and I am all over it. Mess with my kid, and you will get swatted with the big Leo paw! I am however, not passive. I can not afford to be. If something needs to get done, I feel I have to do it. I am more of a take charge personality.
No. You can't even consider strength to be "strength" without something to contrast it to, or compare it to, or distinguish it in relationship to confrontation. Leo's have a natural characteristic of strength because they ARE confrontational, victorious, decisive; impulsive but deliberate, dynamic and intentional, they are almost the born-leaders Aries are, but not quite. They are not at all passive by nature unless their sun sign is heavily afflicted (especially by the moon in Capricorn or Scorpio with hard square or opposition aspects) making their natural disposition towards extroversion and displays of their fiery personality a problem for others around them.
One astrological commentary re: Sun in Leo makes these observations; read it for what it's worth: "The Sun in Leo gives a masterful nature with a large measure of self-control, a keen sense of honor and a never-failing integrity. The person aspires to rule others but would scorn to take a mean advantage or to do anything to others that would not be in strict accord with the golden rule; the affections are deep and lasting. People with the Sun in Leo are staunch defenders of those they love, but equally strong in their aversions. Leo is the sign which rules the heart. Whatever people with the Sun in Leo do is done with a concentration of purpose which compels success. They make true friends and if one must have an enemy, a Leo will prove more honorable and magnanimous than any other."
I don't believe the things said about people born under specific zodiac signs. For instance, I'm an Aries, but not a natural born leader, so that part is wrong. The only thing it says right about me is that I get really mad sometimes.
I agree with pearl on this one. I live with a Leo.
