How far does this go? or should I ask - how long does it go for, once it starts?
I don't want to label signs with the traditional astrological dogma and I do realize there is a lot more to the sign of Leo (wherever it may be in a chart) - but today I've had a not so pleasant experience with someone who is Leo influenced.. which makes me wonder about - jealousy issues.Is it just jealousy? Is it possessiveness? Why do you feel this way?
If it is an ego thing, does it lead to revenge or trying to hurt the other person - even if nothing they did was intentional? IP: Logged |

Is this someone youre in a relationship with? then that makes sense...Depends on what kind of jealously youre speaking of. To me, I dont see Leos as the type to be jealous of others, but to be jealous when it comes to relationships, their mate around the opposite sex, etc sort of thing. Does that make sense?IP: Logged |

well, sun moon merc in leo here..checking in on this one....Yes, we try to hide it, we try not to show it, but we are possessive by nature. we (I) conmsider our significant other as ours nad definately have those feelings whether we act on it, verbalize it or not. Territorial I guess would be the word. My first husband was a leo also and very jealous and possessive. I try not to show it, but If I love someone I will scratch some eyes out (or want to anyway) when I feel like competition is preying on my man. Hate to say this, but it is true, saggies in my life have shown it too. ALthough they are not so well known for it, I have seen it over and again. They like the leo, try to hide it as best they can, but it is there. I seem to attract fire signs throught my life as friends and lovers and yes it is true. There is no man more jealous than an insecure leo. Even a secure leo is extremely territorial and wants no one pawing what is mine. did I just say that? it can get out of hand if we let it, I try to rise above it, but it is there. Sorry. IP: Logged |

but if you are speaking of being jealous of others possessions, or house, clothes etc.... not so much....more of a "whats mine is mine" and don't you screw with what is mine.. mentality.If we want possessions, we just work harder make more money and buy them. but back off my man or this lion will roar load nuff to be heard in three counties.

Envy ~ being jealous of possessions, wanting what someone else has got etc, sounds like a Leo of my acquaintance, but she has some serious T-Square action including Moon in the 2nd (and a strong need for personal security). My mother is a Leo and sounds more like sunshine-lion. If she wants something she will work for it and really isn't the envious type. Territorial sounds more like it, and she could probably get jealous if she felt threatened. Her Sun is Conjunct Pluto and Mercury. So really, you know, don't mess. Never a good idea to poke the lion with a sharp stick. IP: Logged |

Moon in Leo here ... I am not really an envious person. If someone is rich because he/she worked really hard for their money, then I have absolutely no problem with that. But if they have more than I do simply because they broke a couple of rules, then, yes, I do have problem with that. So it's really more a matter of justice than envy. I also get jealous in close relationships. Well, actually, it's not so much jealousy ... it's just that I don't take it all too well when I don't feel appreciated enough by someone. I mean, it's definitely not like I always need to be the center of attention ... far from, actually ... it's just that it makes really mad when someone gets more attention than I do without actually deserving it or just because they are more outgoing and direct than I am.

Well, I actually have had probs on and off with Leos (both male and female) for the past year - but this mainly because they need s/o to acknowledge them constantly/boost their ego etc., and are very needy in that way (whereas I, as an Aries, think, "welcome to the real world, dearie"). I had a problem yesterday with a Leo regarding jealousy - but was actually s/o ELSE's jealousy (in a work situation). I think it's to do with perception by others of the power this particular Leo holds and their wanting to be "in" with this person and fawn over them, where I don't really care so much about that, and boss them around when I want to  Love, Xena IP: Logged |

I think, it's opposite. Many people are jealous towards Leos, because Leos seem to have an easy life. I know personally many Leo Ascendants and Suns, who were blackened behind their back. IP: Logged |

Jan_A = Makes sense I believe Leos are jealous but their jealousy is so different from Scorpio, Cancer or Taurus's jealousy. They are jealous when someone else is center of attention and they are possessive when you don't give them attention.. IP: Logged |

Hey Coral, In my personal experience, there's been a difference between the male/female Leos. The females maybe supress the public displays of jealousy? The males, on the other hand...I dated one in college and when we broke up, he went to our local hangout and sobbed. Literally. He did the same thing with his last girlfriend. I lost all respect for what I thought was a "please feel sorry for me and give me attention" display. There were 3 following that were interested in me. The first one, I went out with once...ONCE.  I met him the night before I left for vacation, thought he was nice and gave him a kiss goodnight. (That's what I mean by "going out with him.") He basically found out where I was staying, sent flowers there, called constantly, had flowers waiting for me when I got home...started calling my mother and trying to win her over...as well as my friends. I thought he was basically a stalker. So, I left him a message when I knew he wasn't home thanking him for the flowers. He called repeatedly and I didn't call back. Did he get the hint? NO...he came to my place of work and yelled "What? Are your fingers broken?" OMG...I vowed that would be my last Leo experience. No offense, just not my type! So...another Leo I worked with and I became friends. He decided to ask me out. I told him I didn't date guys I work with. He cried to everyone at work and teared up each time I had to come in contact with him. But wait...there's more...I ran into a guy that I knew in highschool. He was always very handsome...became a firefighter...hubba hubba. Found out his birthdate...red flag. He asked me out and I said I'd rather just be friends. He ranted and raved and made a big scene asking why I wouldn't go out with him. I wanted to say "Um...listen to yourself...you're kidding, right?" But I didn't. However, I will say that I usually find them physically attractive. I've noticed they age very well too! One more...a Sag/Pisces moon/Leo rising decided after 5 years of friendship that he and I should date. He wasn't my type (gorgeous, but I'm never really attracted to Sag men...Brad Pitt doesn't even do it for me, although I can appreciate the fact that he's handsome). I'm still blissfully unaware that he's made this decision and he begins to start telling me these... um...rather graphic details of his relationship with his last girlfriend who was a Pisces. (My sun.) I kept trying to politely excuse myself cause he was going overboard. After a few weeks of this...he says "So you can see how compatible I am with Pisces. I'm GOING to take you to dinner." HUH? Then he went through his long speech about the hows and whys of our being together. Ummmm....no thanks. It was like a legal battle where I had to continually counterpoint his determination and facts that he'd been gathering about us dating. So, he wouldn't speak to me for months and I saw him almost every morning. Finally one day I asked him why he wouldn't talk to me and he said I wounded his pride and give him time to get over it. I did and we became friends again. However, my nephew, aka surrogate son is a Leo and we're SO close. Same with my Leo cousin and female friends. I think as long as there's no attraction factor, that's the key to a mellow Leo. My Pisces sun/Libra rising couldn't handle that kind of public display. Horrifying! 8th IP: Logged |

hey, I just thought I'de say I like the name, coralfrequency. And I'm also a pisces sun (conjunct mercury), libra moon (conjunct jupiter), but my chart holds a whole cardinal grand cross including cancer mars and aries venus. along with a scorpio rising, I keep my thoughts to myself.
Anyway I know a leo who I play D&D with, (he also has a gemini rising, and taurus moon) who tends to get jealous of the general appreciation of my fun making actions within the game. The DM (my sister - aries) writes down really funny quotes from us in game, and this leo has bugged her to write down his lame antics in clear jealousy.IP: Logged |

I've got a Leo Mars and I can tell ya I am extremely possessive of what is "mine" and along with that comes a mean jealous streak. Typically this plays out with love interests and friends. Btw, my Mars is in my Leo ruled 11th house.  IP: Logged |

cfi have dated a few sun leo men and i have found them to be consistently jealous and possessive. one told me that we would never have children together as he could not share me with anyone else. i know that not all leo men will be like that - but that's my dynamic and experience with them. i think they are very territorial if they're not secure in who they are. my belief from my experiences is that their actions are very conscious and driven by their ego.

I believe Leos can be jealous of the success of others, if they are insecure.
-They certainly can display signs of jealousy in their romantic relationships!
I have Mars in Leo, Venus in Scorpio---I can definitely be jealous in my relationships if I feel I'm sharing my lover with SOMETHING or SOMEONE else. I need to feel that I am #1---& I reciprocate. IP: Logged |

Yep, but their conscious, at least in my experience, is very simple.IP: Logged |

yes very hard to fight against the sense of king and queen-ness of both male and female leos............they just need regular ego-stroking but i dont find these peopleīs jealousy trigger any big frustration...or backlash attack as in scorpio...they just need to be center, thatīs all! this means acknowledgement but they are not usually jealous of anything else...
