Leo Zodiac Sign: Personality, Love, Career & Compatibility

Leo (July 23 – August 22) is the fifth sign of the zodiac — a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. Warm, confident and impossible to ignore, Leo is the natural performer and leader of the zodiac.

Leo personality

Leos shine. They are generous, warm-hearted and radiate a confidence that draws people in. Ruled by the Sun, they love to be seen, to celebrate life, and to lift others up with them. Beneath the drama is a genuinely big, loyal heart.

Strengths: confident, generous, loyal, charismatic, courageous and encouraging.

Weaknesses: proud, stubborn, attention-seeking and sensitive to criticism. Their ego can bruise easily.

Leo in love

In love, Leo is passionate, romantic and devoted. They love grand gestures and being adored — but they give the same warmth back tenfold. Loyalty and appreciation keep a Leo happy; feeling ignored is their fastest turn-off.

Leo career

Leos thrive in the spotlight: leadership, entertainment, creative fields, teaching and anything that rewards charisma and vision. They inspire teams and lead from the front.

Leo compatibility

Leo pairs beautifully with fellow fire signs (Aries, Sagittarius) and air signs (Gemini, Libra) who fan their flame. See the full ranking of which signs match Leo best, or test any pair on our compatibility tool.
