The Leo man in love

The Leo man is warm, generous and theatrical in love. He wants to be admired and gives lavishly in return — attention, gifts, public affection.

What attracts a Leo man

Confidence, style and genuine appreciation. He notices people who laugh at his jokes and hold their own in company.

Signs a Leo man likes you

Grand gestures, showing you off to friends, and a lot of attention in public as well as private.

What puts a Leo man off

Indifference, public criticism and a partner who never acknowledges what he does for them.

The Leo man in a long relationship

In a long relationship he is warm, protective and generous, and he likes to make the relationship feel special long after the start.

In an argument, and after a breakup

His pride is bruised easily and he can be dramatic in an argument, but he forgives when he feels respected. After a breakup he wants to leave with dignity and may hide how much it hurt.

A birth chart is the same whoever holds it; these are the traditional readings of how Leo traits tend to be described in a man. Work, money and friendship for the sign are on the Leo page.

How many men are Leo at all

31.3 days the Sun spends in Leo this year — the 3rd longest of the twelve. The signs are not equal.
33.5 days of the year fall under it once births are weighted by month — July is the peak.
8.3% is what an even split would give. Because sign lengths differ, the real share does not land there — and it is the same for both sexes.

These figures are identical for the woman — nothing in the chart responds to gender.
