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.
