Leo is a fire sign and therefore has a powerful individuality and a strong need for creative expression. The Leo woman enjoys radiating love much as the sun radiates heat and light. It is not so much that she loves her partner as that she enjoys how she feels when she loves another. There is a tremendous sense of self-confidence and self-appreciation in the Leo woman. Out of this feeling she is able to shine her affection on her partner.
Leo is concerned with self-expression. The Leo woman enjoys being the center of the relationship and playing the leading role. She has a tremendous sense of pride and dignity. The Leo woman is capable of completely cutting someone off if she experiences a rebuff, or if she feels humiliated, but this effect usually wears off quickly. The Leo woman is soft, but she has to be in charge of her own life even if she can't be in charge of others. She has a powerful will power and fears rejection. Obviously, many Leo women have to learn to compromise in order to get along with other women, especially lovers.
In a love relationship, the Leo woman is willing to give love generously, but she needs to have a lot of affection and appreciation returned. This woman has a tendancy to want things on her own terms, even though she is prepared to give tremendously. Her partner will enjoy the warmth, passion, and humor of this Leo woman, but she may at times feel pushed by her as well. As the Leo woman learns to see things from her partner's point of view, she will grow into a woman able to love more selflessly. The Leo woman wants to love selflessly, but her strong ego needs to be humbled first.
If a love relationship ends, she can be devastated, at least for awhile. But this sign has tremendous rebounding energy and once the hurt has healed, the Leo woman finds that her powerful individuality enables her to do well alone. In fact, it can be a great growth opportunity since she must realize the strength she has within herself, and not depend on the appreciation of a partner for self-esteem.
