You can always spot a Leo in the wild — not just by the scarf (okay, sometimes), but by the language they speak. A mix of official terms, chaotic phrases, last-minute optimism, and a whole lot of inside jokes.
So for all the new Leos trying to make sense of the chaos, and the old ones who now speak Leo like their mother tongue — here’s your survival guide.
📖 The Leo Dictionary
(Proceed with laughter, memories, and a dash of trauma)

Welcome to the madness — we’re so glad you’re here. 💛
