I'm a 22 year old Scorpio male. My father died when I was 14 and I often wanted to talk about him with my Leo mother and Leo older sister, but even though he died a long time ago they never open up and sort of try and change the subject all the time. Because he died when I was still basically a child I didn't quite know him as well as those two, but they are little help when I was to ask a question or share my feelings.

HOWEVER, my other older sister who is a Pisces recently came back home after being away for several years and I was delighted to find out we're extremely similar and finally I could ask all the questions I like and share all my thoughts with somebody and she would do the same. It's great to finally have someone I can talk to.  

Now I know some people just like to shut down as it's their way of dealing with a death, but I've noticed this Leo fear of opening up in many other instances too and also with a friend who's a Leo. Heaven forbid they say something which might contradict their bubbly and ego centric persona.

I don't want to offend any Leo's here, but I'm starting to think they only want to have a giggle and talk about the most normal and banal subjects out there. Leo's - very friendly, but no depth?

Maybe Scorpio and Leo's just aren't that compatible.  

i am leo too. and i'll tell you what dont think its about emotions. i think it more about ego and pride. how can the king of jungle rule if he shows his weakness? i must tell you its much more complicated than what i said above but thats a better than good way to sum it up. now i guess the degree to which they keep shut also depends on various other factors but again... leos generally are the way they are - born with an ego.

they dont know how to share thier joys and pains (i am talking about me being leo here), they are extremely poor at it. but leos are still the best. when they do commit something, you can consider it done! they are born leaders, they have thier own set of rules for playing the game which they not only preach but pratice too.

i dont know... lets just say leos to tend to avoid things which are painful and hurts.

I don't know wether this is ture or not. my cousin is leo but we don't have such problems. We are very good friends and share each and every moment that we spend alone.

hi there,
I am Leo too... and i guess act very cold towards pain:( it just doesnt seem to affect me. maybe thats the way we deal wit it. i feel...if something has happened and u cant do anything about it, then no point thinking about it. maybe thats being defensive... but then thats the way it is.

shifting this thread to Leo section.

Hi, Another Leo here.
It's not that we are shallow, well, maybe when we are young we are, but not as we mature.  I think Abishek's point is very valid. It is an ego thing. But more. Leo's come into this world knowing they are leaders. We think we always have to be the "strong one" and keep everything running smoothly. So we stuff our feelings a lot.

Hopefully as we grow older we learn to be more open, to allow others in and learn to share our feelings, and to risk being vulnerable. That is a huge challenge for us.  And, I think, maybe one of our Karmic Lessons.

Just my opinion, and as you know, Leo's are full of opinions.
