Leo Under Stress: Leo’s Dark Side
Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)
Leo is ruled by the Sun, the biggest star that shines in our galaxy. Leo is the element fire, and just like fire and the sun, you love to shine. Leo, you feel the need to have the spotlight on you and to be recognized for your talents. You are known for being very loyal and for your pride. Leo, you manifest your feelings in such a passionate way.
You are known for being very protective of the ones you love, and you’re the soul of the party.
However, just like any other sign, you have a bad side to you as well.
Leos’s Dark Side:
1. “They said that I was loyal. That doesn’t mean that I don’t lie.”
Oh yes, that’s true. You have a hard time admitting it, but you sometimes lie just to show off. Leo, you will dramatize things that weren’t so bad and will make things up to show how glorious you are in the middle of chaos. You’re also capable of lying just to impress. You’ll buy that imitation Louis Vuitton purse and act as if it were real. That’s just an example of how you’re capable of lying, just to be the one on “stage”.
2. “It wasn’t me; it was her (or him)…”
When ending any kind of relationship, you will not admit to what you’ve done, and it was never your fault. You will blame others and talk trash just to show that they weren’t worth your time. You are royalty, and you need someone worthy of your love. You’ll do everything to show everyone that.
3. “How Dare You Speak to The King of The Jungle Like That?”
Leo, you will have no problem giving people an attitude. However, you don’t receive getting an attitude back very well. You will very quickly create a dramatic scene when you feel that you have been disrespected. You didn’t expect it to escalate it this way, but what else can you expect when you can sometimes resemble a Drama Queen?
4. “Me, Me, Me and. who else? ME”
Leo, you are so tied up in your ego, that sometimes you may not care for anyone else. You turn everything into being all about you. As an example, if a friend looks for you to receive some advice, suddenly you can turn the discussion to it being all about you, how you did it, and how you were smart. You might forget to give a damn about how he or she is feeling at that moment. You just want to show how you’ve overcome everything.
5. “Move, Get out of my way… The spotlight belongs to me.”
Leo, you have a hard time accepting others being in the spotlight instead of you. Sometimes, you will do anything to push the attention all to yourself, even if that means humiliating the person that’s on stage. You don’t care about how other people feel. You’re the one who’s already on stage, how dare them?
6. A Moment of Silence, Please
When you’re speaking, all you want is all eyes and ears to be on you. It is forbidden to interrupt Leo while they’re speaking. Leo, that may make you furious because that’s a sign that they’re not listening to what you have to say. Of course, you will speak your mind and let people know how disrespectful that was. The only problem is that you won’t shut up about it. You’ll go on for hours on how mad you are for them doing that to you.
7. “I’m the boss around here, not you…”
There is no use in trying to boss you around, Leo. It will drive you crazy. You don’t take orders very well, even if it’s asked in a very kind way. You feel like you’re being taken advantage of, and how dare people treat the king of the jungle as a servant, right?
8. “I see the big picture, not the details.”
Leo, you have a hard time having the patience of looking into details because you’re so focused on the big picture and how fancy it looks. To you, it’s all about the appearance. It doesn’t matter if there’s a bad side to it. If you look good in the picture, you could care less about the rest.
9. “I live mostly to show off on social media.”
Leo, you love to brag about everything that belongs to you. You are the kind of person that will be posting everything on social media. You might start your day by posting pictures of the awesome food you’re eating and bragging about how healthy it is. You may post pictures of your partner’s awesome body and brag about how sexy it is. You will post pictures on almost everything, looking to seek admiration. Your main drive might be to show how everything you do in life is the best, and that you are the best.
10. EGO
Finally, the Ego. You have a big ego that is easily wounded when you feel rejected. Some people live off food, water, and emotions. Don’t get me wrong, you do too, but as part of the list of basic needs, attention is number one. If you didn’t receive much attention as a child, you can suffer major trauma and feel consistently unworthy of attention.
Overall, Leo, you’re a heart full of passion and you love to share with others what you have to offer. Not everyone can understand you, but that’s not your fault. You’re the Queen/King of the jungle and everyone shall respect that.
