3 Rude Misconceptions About Leos

As of this Sunday, July 23, Leo season will officially be upon us — is it already heating up in here, or is it just us? This fiery sign is said to stoke our passions and bring out the drama queen in all of us. But, is that all there is to the sign of the Lion?

As bold and open as people under this sign can be, one must take a closer look to know them as they truly are. Ahead, we’re correcting three of the worst first impressions people tend to get of Leos.
