The one who, when they love you, makes you feel like the only person in the room, and expects to feel the same in return....

You may get louder, warmer, funnier, more impressive, or suddenly cold because the room stopped reflecting you back. That is the part of Leo shadow work most generic astrology skips. The issue is not simple vanity. It is the emotional pattern of tying your right to be here to whether someone is witnessing your light....
