What are Leo's weaknesses?

Naïve
Leos tend to be too trusting, and since we live in a cruel world, they are often disappointed. Their big hearts are always open to help anyone, and this sometimes leads to their downfalls. People who are undeserving of Leos might see their generosity and open hearts as a weakness and take advantage of them.
When you’re a Leo, you should probably surround yourself with people who can always tell you when someone is taking advantage of you. Aries or Sagittarius are honest signs which are very wise and can help a Leo realize it when someone is taking advantage of them.
Arrogance

To most people, this looks like stubbornness. Even when they need help, a Leo can never admit it; this stubbornness comes from their independent spirit.
Inability to accept criticism
Since Leos love taking the lead, they find it hard to accept criticism. Their self-confidence doesn’t allow them to see that they could be wrong. Not being able to take criticism well can affect their leadership if they are leaders.
Who should Leo marry?
According to Compatible-Astrology.com, Leos are compatible with Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, and Libra.
Aries
Aries is attracted to Leo’s big heart, openness, and sincerity. Leos love that their personality and Aries marry each other, and they can understand each other without trying. Both signs are egotistical, passionate, aggressive, and when they come together, they are fun.
Since Aries are impulsive, their Leo partners balance them out since they love to plan and organize. These two may bump heads as they both love to control. But unlike with other signs, it leads to healthy rivalry.
The only way this relationship can go wrong is if you disclose to each other that you’ve had great past lovers. This won’t sit well with either party (especially your Aries partner) as you’re both trying to be the best either partner has ever had.
Gemini
A Gemini partner is light and fun bringing out that side of Leo. This companionship is perfect as both are sociable, love attention, and might find themselves fighting to be on the center stage. With an audience that appreciates this, you’ll both be happy.
Both signs are flirtatious, and you may need to draw boundaries on the matter early in the relationship, especially if you find yourself with a possessive Leo. When it comes to commitment, Leo will be quick to want a commitment while Geminis won’t.
The most significant difference is that Leos are very organized and structured, while Geminis love leaving projects halfway done.
Leo
Two Leos make a great relationship both sexually, socially, and creatively. Both are generous, affectionate, and enjoy turning heads. This relationship is one full of compliments and affection as both parties love being in love.
Leos tend to be competitive when dating each other. They both want to have a higher salary and be better than the other, which results in healthy competition and success in careers; it is a positive thing as you both enjoy the luxuries in life.
Both parties are energetic, loyal, optimistic, and ambitious. On the flip side, you both have huge egos, are very bossy and stubborn. There will be huge arguments followed up by making up that both of you enjoy. After such a relationship, most that follow may seem basic and boring as they won’t have such intensity.
Libra
A Leo will be attracted to the refined style, charm, and incredible mind of a libra. On the other hand, the libra will be drawn to Leo’s dominant, passionate, and flashy style. This relationship is fun as both signs love getting attention and love competition.
There will also be great debates, arguments, and discussions as Leos loves to take control while Libras love to analyze pros and cons for way too long and then decide. On the other hand, Leos make decisions on a whim.
The main difference is that Leo makes decisions by passion while Libras use analysis; persuading Leo to view things differently can be a significant challenge. It’s also nice to note that Leo can be possessive at times, but this match is excellent and will never have boring issues.
Sagittarius
Due to the similarities that you both have, this relationship will most likely be an energetic, explosive, and fun relationship. Both signs are very generous, optimistic, and carefree. You both will party hard, and since you both like playing with fire, you will make impulsive decisions here and there to keep the fun going.
Since Sagittarius loves exploring and traveling while Leo loves being impulsive, this relationship is enjoyable. It also has excellent conversations since Sagittarius tends to be philosophical. The Leo partner will be ready for commitment way before the Sagittarius is.
The only danger here is that Sagittarius tends to be blunt and honest. Leos hate criticism, and this could be the start of many arguments.

Scorpios need attention just as much as Leos do, and no sign will give up for the other until one is completely reduced. Being together means taking revenge on each other.

Conclusion
