July 23 to August 22. Fire sign. Confident players whose showy attitude can quietly cost them the game.
Leo players want control of every game they play, and though they will not admit it, they want the attention that comes with it. If you make a mistake that would cost you a piece, a Leo may suggest you take it back. That generosity is really control, and it can backfire and cost them the game. Afterward they may feel they let you win.
Temper is the other risk. Leos who lose patience make impulsive moves and will sacrifice a good piece for a small gain.
Leo players typically start in their early twenties and continue into their thirties, playing around two games a week. They prefer a slow game and are strongest in the middle game. They also play postal chess.
They start out preferring the queen, then gain confidence and use rooks and knights more. They fear an opponent bishop and queen used together, and fear losing their own queen.
Admit your own mistakes and refuse the takeback, because letting them play benefactor hands them the upper hand. Make a Leo doubt their control of the game and they start to worry, and a worried Leo makes more errors. Against a Leo who is also Leo rising, the move is to rob them of their pride.
Two Leo players are not the same player. The rising sign changes the piece preferences, the temperament, and the way the game is lost. AstroChess breaks Leo down across all twelve Sun and Ascendant combinations, which is where the reading gets specific enough to use against someone.
