She gets a little jealous sometimes.

A Leo in love can be pretty possessive. She’s too confident, combative, and fiery to let anyone make a move on you without consequence. As one of the three fire signs, a Leo’s fearlessness and energy make her a pretty intimidating person to compete against for your affection. If she likes you and knows there are other interested parties, she’ll definitely want to do something about it.
- If you know that the Leo in your life is trying to keep other romantic interests away, then it’s super likely that she likes you.

She’s confident, direct, and self-aware, so women of this sign aren’t likely to spend too much time waiting around for you to make the first move.

- If a Leo tells you she likes you, trust that she’s being honest and not playing any games.
- If a Leo hasn’t explicitly told you how she feels, it’s less likely that she’s interested, but still definitely possible. Look out for other signs that she's interested.

What's your opinion on Leo women?

Mechila Blake
Astrologer and Tarot Reader

I find Leos to be naturally talented. That’s always the first thing that stands out to me. They have an artistic side—whether it’s singing, writing, or expressing themselves through fashion. They are very expressive, entertaining, and charismatic.

Leos are also great at bringing people together and forming connections. However, one challenge they may face is balancing their need for attention in relationships while also being willing to share the spotlight. I wouldn’t say they’re superficial, but they do enjoy having control. They love bringing people together, but they also prefer to be the leader of the group. They don’t mind working in a team, as long as they’re at the front of the line.

So, they are amazing social butterflies and great at maintaining relationships. But at times, they might struggle with always wanting to be right or in charge. Still, they’re incredibly fun to be around.
