Leo Personality Spotlight
Leos are born between July 23 and August 22, ruled by the Sun. They carry a natural magnetism, charisma, and a love for the spotlight. Confident, generous, and passionate, Leos often become leaders and entertainers.
However, that very confidence can sometimes cross into egotistical territory. When unchecked, a Leo's need for admiration can turn them into a self-centered "douchebag" who believes the universe revolves around them.
Warning: A Leo in full egotistical mode may dominate conversations, dismiss others' achievements, and expect constant praise—often without realizing how obnoxious they're being.

How to Handle a Leo
If you have a Leo in your life who's leaning into their egotistical side, remember: they often respond better to flattery than confrontation. Acknowledge their strengths, but gently remind them that others have value too.
Leos are fiercely loyal and incredibly warm-hearted when their ego is balanced. Encourage their generosity and leadership without feeding their narcissism.
