I'm a Leo Sun (8th house) with my Moon, Venus and Saturn in the 7th. I used to have good luck in love and attract tons of people who adored me. It's really, really getting me down not to have that. It's not that I don't enjoy being alone, because I really do, and I don't want some weighty relationship right now. But as a Leo, I miss all the validation and excitement!! I don't think it's natural for a Leo woman to have no one attracted to her except for very drunk bums and other street harrassers.

Sure, maybe all the wonderful qualities I think I have are in my imagination...but even then, I know many people who not everyone would find appealing and they have a few people who are attracted to them and want to touch them.

Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone else out there in my situation. I honestly find it WEIRD. I feel like I'm having bad luck in one of the areas in life I have always cared about most.

Like, my Scorpio friend? I want him to call me, invite me somewhere, and try to seduce me. And yeah, I could try to initiate something myself, but if he were interested he would've, and I feel too burnt from the last time, and I miss having lots of gorgeous boys/men competing to attract me. Or, even just wanting to hang out with me. I miss college when having beer and pizza with me would've been the highlight of most guy's week. I know that feeling is something some people are critical of, but it's how I feel, and surely other Leos can understand? Although probably this hasn't happened to any other Leos.

I also don't really have friends. I mean, I do, but not the way I used to. I guess I could say I have friends, but not activity buddies. I keep inviting people to exciting events with me and they say no and then don't offer a counter-invitation, but yet they invite me to their exclusive parties and seem really happy to see me, which is so very confusing. I mean, it's just all so weird. I even have FANS for some of my work, but every time I approach someone they just don't have any space in their life for me.

And from this perspective I dare to say: This is one of the MOST LEO-nian message I ever read!!! ;-)

Please don't feel offended - I don't want to hurt your feelings - not at all! Your post just made me smile ... because it tells a lot about the LEO-personality, about the fuel your LEO-kind is running on ...

You LEOs need attention so much! This is charming and cute, if kept in proportions. And it also might turn out as a certain "weakness" of this regal sign of LEO - and I feel with you: You Leos are quite dependent (on other people's reactions to you). But hardly any LEO I know would admit this as openly as you did.

I hope you're feeling better soon!

This is a bit off topic but if we look at our transits, we can also kind of tell when certain difficulties happen. I've got Venus squaring Uranus and Saturn, plus a Venus - Pluto opposition, so there is definitely some tension going on, but transits are like life, you can either give up and condemn them as malefic or think of them as a test that can be surpassed!

I often see you mention water and earth sun sign men. I think you mentioned a Gemini guy once, but that was about it.

Have you ever dated or attracted fire signs? Your description of what you want, sounds fire-ish. But you are looking for these traits in Scorpio men.

I've noticed on astrology sites that sometimes people are very critical about attention-craving or seeking any kind of external validation, and that's why sometimes people will downplay that or pretend it isn't something they seek out. But just as it's healthy for a Taurus to eat a big pile of potatoes dug out of her own garden, for a Sag to get out into the forest (in some distant country, after learning the language), for an Aries to go skydiving, and for a Virgo to get everything in order, it's HEALTHY for a Leo to have thrilling romance.

Missneptune, I hope you find love soon! Leos do need the Leo things--creativity, romance, fun, play and true love--to enjoy the sign's full potential.

Coral, I have always been most attracted to Libras and Geminis. My two long-term relationships, including the 14-year one I ended last year, were with Libras. I've had it bad for an Aries before. Recently, I had my first unrequited crush, on a Scorpio, which was devastating, and my friend I'm vaguely attracted to now is a Scorpio. The Scorpio thing is a fluke, but right now there are NO men from any of the other 11 sun signs attracted to me either. And in the past, I attracted guys from all 12 sun signs, and the ones I liked back were usually air, or the Aries.
