The fiery Lion is our 5th sign of the zodiac and is ruled by the Sun. People born from July 23 to August 22 are born under the star of Leo and the element of Fire. Just like any other sign, Leo exhibits its own set of specific traits. What are these traits will be the topic for today’s write-up. That and the compatibility factor of Leos with other signs. Also, we will take a look at some famous people born under the sign of the Lion. See the source image

General Features

Confident, ambitious and domineering are the most commonly used keywords for the fierce lion. These are the people who are generous and loyal but can be vain and stubborn to a degree too. Though sometimes they can come off as pretentious and arrogant, but they can be quite light-hearted and encouraging as well.

Expressive and explosive, flamboyance and creativity- more often than not they are the centre of attention wherever they may be. They may burn like fire, but they are warm like it too. Independence, passion, pride and a great sense of humor- hardly you will find a person so determined with eyes on the prize, well if they really put their mind to it, that is.
A natural born leader good at keeping it real, no matter the challenge or circumstances, you can count on them. Optimistic people who love connecting to others, they are kind and protective, but make sure never to take advantage of their kindness and generosity- Leos don’t forgive easily and are far from pushovers.
Charming, adventurous, playful, spontaneous and bold- they can swipe anyone off their feet.

Compatibility

Passionate and unpredictable lovers, Leos are best compatible with fellow Fire signs Aries and Sagittarius. Cancer is considered one of the most compatible with Leo as well since they both are loyal to the bone. Libra and Gemini may share a harmonious relationship with Leo while it can go either way with Aquarius since they are literal opposites.
The least compatible signs with Leo are considered to be Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn and Scorpio, given their water and earth attributes. But after all is said and done, it really depends on the people involved as compared to some general consensus. See the source image

Because each one of us, at the end of the day, is unique in our own right, and we don’t know who we might get along well with unless we actually get to know the person, so even if you are a Virgo who has a crush on a Leo or vice-versa- go for it!
