Friendship profile: Leo

The Lion can never be accused of hiding behind their mane. They're happiest when people surround them, especially as they're centre of attention. Leo has loads of friends. After all, anyone who thinks so highly of them selves must have something good to offer. The Lion makes a great friend. They can be as playful as a kitten and are always ready to spread their sunshine around. Beware of their competitive side. As your friend, Leo wants to be proud of you and will do everything in their power to ensure your success – as long as you don't outshine them. While you're the underdog, you'll have a loyal friend. Everyone can be friends with a Leo. They don't really discriminate, preferring to have a big mix of people to play with. Leo always wants the best and might take you out for fancy dinners. Don't worry if you can't afford it though - the generous Lion is always willing to chip in. Make sure you remind them again and again how grateful you are for their help. A friend who is not appreciative of the Leo's charms and generosity now may not get the chance to show it later.
