Why are people so jealous of Leos?

They really think they have us all figured out.
Of course, this whole site is Scorpio-worshipping (I ??? me some Scorpees... but this site is in awe of them) and any collective in a sign that's not falling over for the sacrifice at the Scorpio tabernacle is put through hell because we're able to do 'us' without them.

WTF is this shit?
No one here is in awe of Scorpios LOL.
Especially not us Scorpios ourselves.

+1
but i think she's talking about herself.

I happen to like Leos, Love your loyalty more.
I like that you're standing up for woundedlion.

as it stands now we are the joke of the zodaic and it is because we are too big hearted and the actually arrogant signs like capricorn and scorpios are getting off "scott free" from criticism simply because they are less open.
trust me in all of the elite type of clubs you find these power hungry Capricorn and Scorpio types who get no criticism. in a way these two signs are very cowardly but also wise. leos ends up getting bashed due to the type of open ego when in reality we are just big goofballs who really don't have much ego.
we actually have a weak ego but a big heart because we are trying to find a identity. remember we are the teenager of the zodaic.
you should be resentful that the actual egomaniacs who are being lusted after and admired while we are being hit by the target.
we are not cunning and they are. that is our curse. we are kind and they are ruthless. it is not jealousy but very very bad marketing leos have suffered due to all this ego being associated with us without understanding why and what our role is. notice how no one mentions pour good traits and even in astrology sites ego is always associated with leo. leo actually rules the heart which is conveniently brushed aside in favor of ego.

i don't really feel like going to war with the leos on the board. so if anyone else quotes and responds to me and they're a leo i'm just going to ignore it. i said what i had to say. i don't particularly care what some leo thinks about my opinions.

Law of Jante
"The Law of Jante or the "Who-do-you-think-you-are" -law, is the idea that there is a pattern of group behaviour towards individuals within Scandinavian communities that negatively portrays and criticises individual success and achievement as unworthy and inappropriate.
Generally used colloquially as a sociological term to negatively describe an attitude towards individuality and success common in Sweden and the rest of the Nordic countries, the term refers to a mentality that de-emphasizes individual effort and places all emphasis on the collective, while discouraging those who stand out as achievers."

^^ meaning you don't have to be this "in the box" niche of working a 9 to 5 job and being successful at it. Sure, they can do that. Anyone can. But success in marriage? (CHECKED BOX) Hell yeah. Do you know how many people in this world cannot achieve that? Or success in managing a big household, even if it's a HUGE farm? (CHECK BOX) Or if they want, living in the fast-lane, success like Madonna, always re-inventing herself.

you may not accept the faults of your sign, and have convinced yourself that you're super powerful (which i've seen you say plenty of times) and humble but look at your posts. it's all ego.

And I remember exactly where I've said Lionesses are Very dangerous not super powerful. What power is it, the ability to fly? lol
Anyways,
I can't find the article (Even though Linda Goodman alludes to this, I read an article on lionesses else where that is more concise), but think about it - there are only two signs that are hunters in the zodiac.
The Scorpio man is said to be the most dangerous hunter because he'll turn on his own children for
food. The lioness is the second most dangerous hunter. Scorpio women come in a close third because they are more compassionate than their male counterparts.
Humble and powerful all still sound like praises to me personally though..
Again, I love to be called Leo!

i'm sure that there are leos out there with a shit ton of virgo placements that doubt themselves and that are humble. i'm sure they exist. i just have never met one and i've been around plenty of leos since i was a little kid. even when they're children and know nothing about astrology or how they're being perceived they have enormous egos and act like they're the center of the universe. i used to watch one in particular in horror because it seemed like she thought she was lost royalty or something.
they have a lot of positive qualities. loyal. loving. confident. expressive. big hearted. theatrical. charming. a million other things. but along with those positive things comes that thing where it seem like they think the whole worlds a stage and that they're performing/being watched and it makes them puff up and get arrogant.
