Leos have a bad reputation and lots of people shudder when they find out the person they are dating is born under this zodiac sign. Leo is represented by the lion, and people of this sign tend to be just as proud as the creature, so they probably have no idea why people don’t feel the same way about their sign. Express.co.uk chatted to astrologer Francesca Oddie (@francescaoddieastrology on Instagram) to find out why Leos are so hated.

If you’re a Leo wondering why people dislike you purely based on your vibe or star sign, there is a simple reason.

Francesca explained it's all down to envy… quite simply, everyone wants to be you!

She said: “Leos are hated because it’s all about them and also they are the most attractive.

Jealousy is an ugly trait but unfortunately, you bring it out in a lot of people, Leo.

Leo is a hot fire sign and ruled by the Sun, which represents the ego and self-expression.

Francesca said: “You’re so hot and special, there’s a slight amount of jealousy towards you.

“The Sun and ego are strongest in the sign of Leo and bright stars attract the most attention and jealous eyes.”
