A Leo man is attracted to a woman a cut above the rest. Leos are ruled by the Sun and love to be the center of attention. It's likely he's always surrounded by a sea of admirers, but he's attracted to someone who seems "too good" for that. As a Capricorn woman, you're a strong leader in your own right. Present yourself as an equal, not as someone who believes you're inferior to him.
- If you find yourself in the same room as him, hold your own and let others come to you rather than flitting about. He'll see that regal confidence that he's so attracted to.
- If you give off the impression that you're too good to simply bow to him, he'll definitely be interested in learning more about you.
- This doesn't mean he doesn't want admiration from you, because of course he does. But he wants to truly feel that he's earned that admiration.

Share leadership to avoid conflict.
