Personality
Bright, loyal and expressive, Leo likes to create, perform and lift other people's spirits. The shadow side is a need for recognition that can sting when it is not met.
Love and relationships
You love grandly and openly, with romance, affection and loyalty. Someone who admires you and is proud to stand beside you brings out your best. Indifference hurts you more than disagreement.
