Confidence is a great thing to have, and it’s one of Leo’s biggest strengths. The trick is for Leo to maintain their confidence while controlling their ego. The best way for Leos to control their ego is to own up to mistakes and acknowledge their weaknesses.
Leo can learn to deal with criticism by thinking before jumping to conclusions and asking questions to clarify the situation. It’s important to remember that constructive criticism is rarely personal. Instead, Leos should take it as helpful advice—and a chance to learn and grow.
Leo should work on looking out for other people just as much as they look out for themselves, which shouldn’t be hard, as generosity is one of their strengths. If Leo can empathize and treat the people they love with compassion, they can learn to be a little less focused on themselves.
Zodiac elements affect each sign’s energy and spirit. Leo’s fire sign energy makes them bold, driven, and full of passion—which are all great strengths! However, that drive and passion are also the sources of Leo’s dominant nature. Being a leader isn’t bad, but good leaders consider other people too. To do this, Leo should ask for input and ideas from the people around them more often. If they are interested in you, they will constantly compliment you, buy you things, show off and brag.
When someone else voices an opinion, Leo should try not to ignore it just because it’s different from theirs and be open-minded instead. In astrology, fixed signs (like Leo) are the hard workers of the zodiac. They’re strong-willed and finish the things they start—but they’re also more rigid than other modalities, which is why Leo can be so stubborn.
To stop being overly dramatic, Leo can be more aware of their actions. It’s important to remember that whatever the problem is, it’s not the end of the world! An overdramatic Leo should also avoid other people’s drama and find something else to keep them busy, like a new hobby or spending time with different friends.
When you feel like you aren’t getting enough attention, appreciation, and compliments, take a step back and remind yourself how great you are. A Leo that craves attention can practice self-love so they don’t have to rely on other people for validation so much!
Leos who struggle with vanity should try to limit the number of times they stop and check their appearance throughout the day. Do it once or twice for reassurance, then move on. It’s also important for Leo to give other people their full attention and make eye contact rather than looking at themselves. It’s polite, and it’ll help them connect with more people. Like the big cat they are, it’s not unusual to see a Leo twirling their hair, flexing, puffing out their chest, etc.
If you get upset and start holding a grudge, remember that pride isn’t going to make things better—but communicating will. A prideful Leo should try to talk things out with the person who upset them instead of bottling their feelings up. More often than not, it’ll feel much better to clear the air and let whatever happened go.
That’s no reason to start being mistrustful or closed-off. Leo’s warmth is admirable! Instead, Leo should surround themselves with trustworthy friends who can protect them from unhealthy relationships.
Leo’s creativity is a huge strength, and this sign is happiest when they embrace their individuality and focus on being themselves. In other people’s eyes, authenticity is way more appealing than trendiness!
