Leo's ruling planet: ☼ Sun.
Beside a Leo man in love, any woman can feel like a lioness. He's ready to lay the world at your feet, though he'll expect the same devotion in return. As a single man looking for love, he can actually seem easier to catch than his king-of-the-jungle image suggests. Feminine charm has a powerful effect on him. Turn yours on and he may soon be at your feet.
He'll be especially pleased if you notice his many fine qualities, appreciate them, and remember to tell him so.
In return, Leo knows how to make the woman he loves happy. Flowers, presents, expensive restaurants: he'll spare neither effort nor money to fulfill your wishes.
How to Win a Leo Man's Heart
He often doesn't wait long to propose. So what if this isn't his first marriage? You're the one true love he's been waiting for all his life.
Don't assume the wedding means you can stop making an effort. A marriage certificate offers no guarantee of a long life together with Leo. He loves you sincerely and passionately, just as sincerely and passionately as he loved his previous partners, but expects a great deal from his wife. Unmet expectations disappoint him deeply.
What does he want? In his opinion, hardly anything: simply for you to live in the shadow of his magnificent ego. At work and at home, he needs to feel first, adored, and irreplaceable. If your dream is an equal partnership, right down to an equal division of housework, he won't be your ideal husband.
Life with a Leo Man
Leo is possessive and proud of it. He's ready to care for you like nobody else, buy you jewelry, and take you to luxurious resorts. In return, he wants all of you. Every last bit. He wants to know not only what you're doing at any given moment but what you're thinking. If the answer isn't him, he'll be very disappointed.
Such a traditional arrangement can make a career difficult, even an ordinary job. That's why many Leo wives eventually become homemakers.
Yet life beside him is rarely monotonous or dull. With a loving, supportive wife behind him, Leo is ready to move mountains to make her happy. However easily he falls in love, he won't indulge in an affair if you're his muse and inspiration. And despite his jealousy, he'll happily take you to parties, the theater, and all manner of events, where you can shine like the social lioness you are.
If you value your relationship, tenderness and affection are reliable ways to reach that proud heart. Love him, let him head your little kingdom, and life can look wonderfully generous from the comfort of that great lion's mane.
The Leo Man as a Father
Surprisingly, for someone so drawn to marriage, Leo usually isn't in a rush to become a father. Give a child more tenderness and attention than you give him and he may show unmistakable jealousy. He's the center and head of this family, after all! If you manage to keep that rivalry from taking hold, though, he can be a loving father whose very arrival makes the children light up.
