Leo: The Amorous Nature
YOU AND THE LEO WOMAN
What she wants most is praise. A lover has to ignore her shortcomings (she doesn't really think she has any) and dwell on her virtues. If you hope to get anywhere with her, you had better begin by accepting her inalienable right to be marvelous. You may go on from there to a sounder, more realistic relationship, but that's the foundation stone on which to build.
You would be wise not to let her know if you have an eye for other women. As far as she's concerned, she's a cosmology of one. The mere suggestion that she's in competition with other women turns her off completely. She's above that sort of rivalry, and is actually a little afraid of it. She can't be a loser—and one way to avoid being a loser is not to get into the race.
However, she has to be free to rack up male conquests. You'll hardly ever see her without a man in tow, and often several. There is something about her flamboyance, her queen like assurance, that dazzles and attracts. She wears men as other women wear jewelry—to enhance her image—and rarely lacks for admirers.
Most descriptions of Leo woman make her sound hopelessly self-centered. It would be more accurate to say that she has an intensive drive toward self-realization. Leo woman feels she was born to be someone special, and she must express this feeling. Happily, she finds enormous self-expression in love.
A Leo woman in love gives her heart without reservations. She doesn't hold anything back. Her romantic nature is intensive, and she expects her chosen mate to be just as fervid as she is. Although Leo is a marvelously sensual creature, kinky variations are not her game. She prefers to heighten and dramatize the familiar by her passionate involvement.
Leo woman thrives in marriage, but her partner may find living with her a bit overwhelming at times. It isn't easy being attendant to a queen, and Leo woman can be tyrannical. The worst scenario is when a Leo woman marries a man she can dominate completely. In this relationship she may get total submission, but that is too little compensation for the full, deep, robust kind of love she needs. When she feels shortchanged in love, Leo woman will turn bitter and carping.
On the other hand, with a genuine prince consort, a queen can bestow her truly royal gifts—and Leo female certainly has them to bestow. If you give her the affection and admiration her nature requires, you will waken a tender passion in this extraordinary woman. And you will have a mate who is truly fit for a king.
HOW TO ATTRACT LEO
You can always win over anyone born under this sign if you show by your actions, your attention, and your unceasing compliments that you are completely and hopelessly lost in admiration. If you really feel that way, you're in clover. If you don't, fake it. Leos won't suspect your sincerity because they think they're fully as wonderful as you tell them they are. Leos almost never think compliments go too far. There is another way to make an impression on Leo: be funny. They have a fine sense of humor and love to be entertained. (Didn't every monarch have a court jester?)
You can't go wrong attending a cultural event, especially a preview of some kind. Accompany Leo to a cocktail party that marks the opening of a new art gallery, an advance movie screening, or a lecture by an author about his or her forthcoming book.
Pet Peeve for Leo men: Heavy makeup on women.
Pet Peeve for Leo woman: A tightwad date.
Bear in mind that both male and female Leos think the best is none to good for them. Leo travels first class. If you're trying to impress a Leo woman, take the rubber band off your bankroll, never wince at a restaurant check, get the best orchestra seats, don't overlook the flowers, champagne, and telephone calls.
Keep the ambience posh.
LEO AND TAURUS: Leo's sovereign right to rule runs smack up against Taurus's determination to have its own way. Both are fixed signs, so neither will give an inch. Leo merely becomes angrier and Taurus more obstinate. Thrifty Taurus is also appalled at Leo's careless spending habits. Taurus is cautious and deliberate; Leo expensive and extravagant. Taurus stubbornly refuses to give Leo constant worship, and Leo is too self-centered to give Taurus the devotion it needs. Leo is much more exuberant than Taurus, both in and out of the bedroom. Too many personality conflicts here.
