Wants to be seen properly, not merely noticed.
Leo is the sign of self-expression and presence, ruled by the Sun and operating on the assumption that showing up matters. The reputation for vanity misses what is actually happening: Leo needs recognition the way other signs need reassurance, and given it, becomes the most generous and steady presence in the room. Withheld, the same person becomes brittle in ways that surprise everyone including themselves.
Leo loves demonstratively and expects the same energy returned. What they need is not admiration but genuine attention - being seen accurately rather than flattered - and they can usually tell the difference. A partner who is warm in private and indifferent in public will not hold a Leo, however good the private part is.
Leo wants work with visible authorship, where the result carries their name and the effort is legible. They lead well and manage warmly, and they struggle in roles that require anonymous contribution to somebody else's outcome. Being passed over for recognition damages a Leo's performance far more than being given a difficult task.
Leo spends generously, on other people as readily as on themselves, and treats money partly as a way of creating occasions. The earning capacity is usually strong; the pattern to watch is spending to sustain an image that has become more expensive than the life underneath it.
