How to handle a Leo who’s …

Your House guest: Forget the futon; first-class accommodations are a lion’s birthright, and her itinerary must include designer shopping by day and the hottest hot spots by night. What you should say: “So excited for your visit! I’m throwing a huge party to celebrate.”

Your Boss: It’s hard to figure out where she stands: she’s incredibly demanding one minute, cracking jokes the next. But appealing to her ego always, always works. What you should say: “I’m sorry I was late for the meeting. Your hair looks amazing, by the way. Did you get a blowout?”

Your New Bestie: She’s the star of the show and causes a stir everywhere she goes (but do remind her that it’s not always all about her). Behind the diva antics lie genuine warmth and loyalty. What you should say: “Great plan, but maybe we should see what everyone else feels like doing tonight.”
