July 23 – August 22
Leo's ruling planet: ☼ Sun.
Some people have a dog's devoted nature; others have a cat's independence. The Leo woman belongs firmly to the feline camp, and she's its most regal, dazzling representative. A lioness is a queen among her subjects. Even a normally confident man can feel shy in her presence.
How to Win a Leo Woman's Heart
Most men will understand why you've fallen for her. Her sophistication, style, and presence invite admiration without any effort. Winning that proud heart, however, is quite an undertaking.
This queen expects a king beside her: courteous, attentive, and above all generous. Think fine dining instead of fast food, a dress from a boutique, a Tiffany necklace, opening-night seats at the ballet. Courtship can be an expensive business when you're in love with a Leo woman. None of it comes with guarantees. She considers accepting your gifts and occasionally allowing you into her company an honor in itself.
Then there's the competition. She loves attention and admiration and usually has admirers to spare. Standing out means proving, over time, that you're the best person for her. Money and generosity are only part of the argument. Match her good taste in clothes and her conversational skill, so she never has to be embarrassed by you in company. Offer thoughtful, sincere compliments, show your admiration often, and be considerate and tactful. Then you have a chance.
Life with a Leo Woman
Being her husband has its rewards: you're marrying royalty, with the privileges that go with it. For a start, she's a magnificent hostess. She can furnish a home with taste and luxury and welcome guests like nobody else. You may find your career suddenly taking off after the wedding, while all she did was invite your boss over for a couple of evenings.
At home, she looks as polished as she would on a runway. You won't catch her in a scruffy robe with a homemade face mask smeared on her cheeks. She has clothes for home, too. Her carefully tended skin, hair, and nails look so natural that you'd think she was simply born that way. She understands that the best beauty care doesn't sit visibly on the surface covering flaws; it works beneath it. You probably don't want to know what that “effortless” freshness costs.
She doesn't spend most of her time at home. An active woman, she's unlikely to abandon her career after marrying. Even with an immensely wealthy husband, she may keep working. Or her social and public life will become so busy that it amounts to a job itself. She needs to be in the spotlight. A quiet, self-effacing domestic existence belongs in her nightmares.
Noble, intelligent, and graceful she may be, but don't give her reason for anger, especially jealousy. An enraged Leo woman is like fire: beautiful to watch and dangerous to approach.
Marriage won't tame her completely. Nothing will. Even when she curls up in your lap like a purring kitten, remember that she's still the proud queen of the jungle. Love her and sincerely admire her many gifts. She's someone you could happily admire for a lifetime.
The Leo Woman as a Mother
Despite her love of outings and social occasions, Leo makes a wonderful mother. A nanny can handle a fussy baby at night, after all, sparing Leo those dark circles. Her own gift is finding that delicate balance between adoration and firmness, one of the finest skills a parent can have.
