Leo! About Your Sign...

The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed, positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. Born leaders, either in support of, or in revolt against, the status quo. They are at their most effective when in a position of command, their personal magnetism and innate courtesy of mind bringing out the best of loyalty from subordinates. They are uncomplicated, knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies, creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will get whatever they are after. Their followers know where they are with Leonians. Leonians think and act bigger than others would normally dare; the ambitiousness of their schemes and idealism sometimes daunt their followers, their practical hardheadedness and ability to go straight to the heart of any problem reassures those who depend on them. If Leonians meet with setbacks they thrive on the adversity.



On the whole they are powers for good, for they are strongly idealistic, humane, and beneficent. They have powerful intelligence and are of a broad philosophical, sometimes religious, turn of mind. Those who are devout may become very obstinate in upholding traditional beliefs and will cling tenaciously, but with complete sincerity, to practices and doctrines which liberal thinkers regard as absurdly out-of-date. These will be found as the 'lions' of industries, and in the forefront of the cutting edge of technologies.



Their faults can be as large in scale as their virtues, and an excessively negative Leonian can be one of the most unpleasant human beings imaginable, displaying extreme arrogance, autocratic pride, haughtiness, and excessive hastiness of temper. If jealously suspicious of rivals, they will not hesitate to use cunning, lies and trickery to discredit them. Self-centeredness, greed for flattery, boastfulness, and bombast, pomposity, snobbish superiority, and overbearing, and intolerant disdain of underlings; to whom they will nevertheless delegate the carrying out of minor details in their grandiose schemes, and from whom they are not above borrowing immoderately if an occasion necessitates it. Any of these can be characteristic of Leo. Add to them a passion for luxury, a lust for power, unlimited sexual lust, and emotional indulgence, and a character emerges that no one would want to know either in public life or private. But their pride may go before a fall, as uncontrolled impetuosity is likely to bring them low. Fortunately it is rare that a Leo is so undisciplined as to give way thoroughly to this list of vices, and their tendencies to them are usually balanced by an innate wisdom. Those who are afflicted with them also have the intelligence it takes to consciously and actively overcome them.



In professional life they do well at any vocation at which there is room at the top. As politicians they are content with nothing less than a powerful position in government. In business they may be the chairman of their company's board, or at least directors or managers. They are excellent organizers and overseers, often laying the groundwork for new projects. If from the artisan ranks of society they will aspire to become the boss, partly because they are ambitious by nature, partly because they dislike manual labor, preferring to take charge of others doing it. If artistic, Leos can become stars of stage or screen (their bent is serious rather than light drama), maestros as musicians where they will gravitate toward the grand instruments or activities, such as the organ or conducting of orchestras and as painters; anything grand in conception and scale appeals to them. Leo women make exceptionally good welfare workers.



In his or her relations with others the Leo type is open, sincere, genuine and trusting. Outgoing, spontaneously warm hearted and plain spoken, though never lacking in kindliness, Leos are more disillusioned than the average if let down by those they trust. They are not good judges of character and are inclined to favoritism and an exaggerated faith in their followers which too often ends in disappointment. They have a strong sex drive and are so attracted to the opposite sex that they find it hard to be constant; they can be so intensely sexual as to become dissolute. They may have numerous love affairs for their love of pleasure and beauty is liable to drive them from one attractive partner to another. They are very much inclined to deceive. Their marriages may fail for the same reason, yet they are sincere and generous to their lovers while love lasts, and will remain attached to their homes so long as it is run for their benefit. They demand service but are incapable of giving it.



Possible Health Concerns...



Physiologically, Leo governs the upper back, forearms, wrist, spine and heart. Its natives are subject to a number of ailments: pain in the back and lungs, spinal complaints, diseases of the heart and blood, sickness in ribs and sides, convulsions, pleasantries, violent burning fevers including, in former days, when they were prevalent, plague, pestilence, jaundice, and some afflictions of the eyes.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS







As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities. When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics. As a Leo you may see things below that really strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below, it is because you are failing to express the positive.



Problem: Getting all upset and angry with others when things do not go the way you fully expected them too. This kind of reaction to a problem is what causes a lot of marital discord and unhappiness.

Solution: You should never base all of your expectations on what you should get, but rather base them on what you can give to, or do, for those who are in your sphere of influence. You will find you have a more peaceful and happy home if you do this.





Problem: You are sometimes your own worst enemy, especially so when you are striving for attention in such obvious ways that you turn off the very people you sought to impress.

Solution: The first place to start is to stop trying to gain attention; give people the chance to notice the real you. Decide what it is that impresses you and you will then know what to do to impress others.





Problem: Egotism, to the extent that you may be the Leo who thinks no one is quite as good at things as you are and the people around you are made to feel small through your habit of comparison.

Solution: What the higher minded Leo has is a sense of self worth and of greatness, this is corrupted when you let the ego get out of hand so you should learn to walk tall by looking up to those that are 'taller' than you are.



Problem: Losses in income from unwisely speculating which leads to financial ruin, as well as possible personal losses of family and friends due to a lack of concern for their financial welfare.

Solution: You should always investigate all investments well before they are made, then talk it over with your spouse as to how hard the budget can be hit, before you spend the first dime.







Your ruling planet is the SUN

.





The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. It is about 150 million km away (93 million miles), a distance which sunlight covers in 8 minutes, whereas the distance to the moon is only 1.3 light-seconds. The Sun is about 300,000 times heavier than Earth and rotates around its axis (as viewed from the orbiting Earth) in about 27 days.

















Some more interesting facts about your sign:











The male lions are not particularly good hunters, the main work is done by the females when the male drives the prey in the direction where they are hiding, although the males insist on eating their share before the females. Hunting occurs at night or cooler times of day, the hotter hours are spent resting in the shade. Only males grow a mane, which can take up to 5 years to fully develop.







The color of choice for Leo is GOLD





Your starstone is the rich red RUBY

Known as a stone of nobility. It can improve success in controversies and disputes, encouraging gentleness and discouraging violence. Excellent shielding stone to protect you from bodily harm. Encourages one to follow bliss.

RE: STARSTONE CONTROVERSY

There is, and always have been, a controversy over "starstones". Starstones are NOT birthstones. I give you here in these pages the stones that are called your starstones, (planet stones), which viberates the strongest to your planet or sign, NOT to the month that you were born. I would also like it if those who think they know precisely what their stone is to go to the library and reference some good Astrology books such as 'Parkers Astrology'. Sorry for the confusion, but confusion over this topic has raged for hundreds of years







Creative and enthusiastic

Broad-minded and expansive

Faithful and loving

Pompous and patronizing

Leos were born to lead and are most effective when in a position of command. Leos are straightforward, uncomplicated individuals who know what they want and pursue it with enthusiasm and a creative spirit. Leos possess a strong positive nature and don't shrink from adverse circumstances. They are not easily daunted, and will persist through the most formidable circumstances.



Leos are proud people, with an idealistic and humane nature. They are basically outgoing, happy, kind and generous. Self expressive, intelligent and broad minded, they are philosophically inclined. They tend to be stubborn, and will hold onto a belief, or stick to a course of action through thick or thin. They are direct and to the point and lead with their emotions. Because of their positive nature, they tend to expect the best, and when things don't turn out as they had expected, they react immediately and badly. Quick tempered, blunt and nasty when they have been affronted, they are deeply hurt by malice or hostility. Although, they may suffer from short bouts of depression when life doesn't meet their expectations, they bounce back quickly and move on with their normal cheerful and demonstrative nature. Leo walks forward always, head held proudly and face turned towards the sun.



Leos like to live on a grand scale. First class is the only way to go and luxury is comfort. In professional life, they do well in a career where there is room at the top. In the political arena, they keep going until they reach a powerful position in government. In business, you can find Leos in the president or chairman's office or on the Board of Directors. They always strive for a position of leadership. They are excellent organizers, managers and leaders. Many of them go into business for themselves. They are ambitious by nature, and prefer to take charge and delegate. Leos possess a strong creative and dramatic bend, and you will find many in the theater and film industry. They become stars of stage or screen, talented musicians, or well known painters. Whatever they choose, it will usually be in the lime lite, first row, center stage.



In personal relationships, Leo is open, sincere, genuine, trusting and generous. Although outgoing, spontaneous, warm- hearted and straight forward, a tragic flaw in Leo is gullibility. They are too trusting and generous to people they like and love. They are not good judges of character and are inclined to treat those close to them as if they were perfect beings incapable of wrongdoing. Because no one can possibly live up to this kind of expectation, Leo is often and devastatingly disappointed. They do recover quickly however, and may have numerous love affairs. Their love of pleasure and beauty, and their expectation of perfection drives them from one attractive partner to another.

I live with a leo, and I used to date one. Leo's are incredible lovers, and they are always willing to experiment in the bedroom! As far as personality, because they think they are king they let everyone else know it as well, and if you don't agree that they come from royalty, then off with your head! They are fun to be around, but you have to carefully choose what you say to them and tred lightly around politics and religion because they will always have an opinion that they will argue you into the ground over. Good luck with all of that.

This is usually a marvellous combination. With both sides being emotional in their make-up, Leo will "lionize" an Aries partner. This is particularly true if Aries will allow Leo to hold the center of the floor on occasions. However, sharing the limelight on the part of Leo is also important, since Aries too will feel the need to be "on stage" every once in a while. There is little doubt that within the "den of the lion," the Aries mate will find a welcome home. The sexual compatability here could be legendary and infidelity kept to a minimum...possibly even eliminated altogether. This is because each will probably strive find what he or she wants from the other and there will be no physical compulsion to stray. Leo admires the aggressive tendencies of fiery contemporaries and since this is exactly what Aries subjects are are made of, it can be an ideal union.



Both individuals here have egos to burn and both like to lead. Aggressive Aries would never dream of taking second place and kingly Leo requires constant admiration. However, this partnership can work if Leo is allowed to "play emperor" and Aries is allowed to "play general." The trick is for neither to take the other all that seriously.



In terms of sexual compatability, this is a fine combustible match since both are fiery and romantic individuals. Aries is optimistic and open to life...Leo is generous and good-hearted. If neither tries to deflate the other and, if each can give room for compromise in the area of domination, then this should be an extremely happy combination.







When Leo passion meets Taurus sensuality, there is often a volcanic physical attraction as each tests the strength of the other. Both signs are lovers of beauty and comfort, possessing high ideas, fidelity and a love of good food and music...in other words, both crave the best life has to offer. Given the money-management abilities inherent in the Taurus nature, this union could lead to a most royal lifestyle. However, tension between these two Fixed Signs is usually inevitable and Leo may play a dangerous game within this combination by denying his or her Taurus partner affection or sex. The focus in this match should concentrate on building emotional security and avoiding no-win emotional showdowns if it is to succeed. It is necessary for Leo to curb the tendency to give "regal commands" and learn to coax rather than order. The extravagance of the Leo nature and the possessiveness of the Taurus character often turn into bones of contention. All too often, Taurus quickly tires of the Leo craving for publicity, while Leo begins to wish that Taurus was not quite so conservative and uptight. Once arguments begin between Taurus and Leo, they can continue indefinitely since both will be stubborn and reluctant to give way. Nonehteless, both are serious workers and will probably have great respect for each other in that regard...but might not respect the way in which the other goes about his or her work.



In the long run, if this combination is to maintain, then the focus must be on similarities. As has been already mentioned, both of these signs are extraordinarily stubborn and need to cultivate flexibility. They must find something that both believe in together, so that each can stretch, grow and thrive. However, given that Taurus and Leo are intensely loyal and powerful signs, romance can follow suit, particularly when there is a common goal.







Since Leo loves first with the heart and Gemini with the mind, this combination will soon find out that they are probably totally unsuited to each other. On the surface, there is likely to be great deal of mutual attraction. However, before much time passes, the passionate Leo is sure to clash with the unreasonable Gemini, who will undoubtedly complain that the Leo nature is too material, too possessive and far too demanding. Nevertheless, despite these drawbacks, there is reason for optimism regarding this pairing. If Leo is able to understand that Gemini may not always be around to provide the attention upon which this sign thrives...and Gemini can understand Leo's need to run the world...then this mixture of air and fire can prove to be a good one.



Not altogether a bad blend, the Gemini/Leo combination can complement one another. Generous Leo is usually willing to bend in whatever direction is needed...provided flattery leads the way...and both individuals possess a somewhat childlike, playful and fun-loving side which surfaces easily when they are together. There is also a mutual appreciation of drama and color, and each finds the other to be delightful and interesting in many areas. Nevertheless, Leo will invariably have difficulty in completely comprehending Gemini's desire for novelty, since it is inherent in the Leo character to make a committment and keep to it. In addition, Leo is a very proud sign with a sensitive ego and Gemini can be a merciless teaser, frequently not taking Leo seriously enough. On the Gemini side, Leo will most probably demand more adoration than Gemini is willing to give. Thus, though not necessarily the best blend in a romantic sense, the Gemini/Leo combination usually makes for an excellent friendship and will be an affectionate pairing between two people who truly enjoy each other's company and have many wonderful times together.







In this combination, since Cancer desperately needs to be needed, Leo will find it easy to satisfy this need. In short, when a Leo native loves, then a Leo native cherishes. The Cancer individual's desire for sympathy, tenderness and emotional support can also be provided by the loving and warm-hearted Leo partner. However, Cancer's moodiness can present a problem in this pairing. Leo is positive and outgoing, generally an "up" personality...unless there has been a major affront to the inherent Leo pride. Thus, for this relationship to work, Leo must be given recognition, respect and appreciation. Since Cancer is not prone to be demonstrative, this could become a bone of contention between the two. That having been said, Cancer does have good intuition and will doubtless sense when things are not quite as they should be in the relationship. This will work well for Leo, since the Leo pride makes no allowances for weakness and tends to say nothing when matters are not going well.



Although this is a combination of vastly different temperaments, there is a good possibility for true caring within this mix. Both partners take life very personally...perhaps more personally than either might realize. This could be an unusually warm and loving bond. Leo is more dominant and will alsmost certainly take the lead in any relationship...which will be just fine with Cancer. When this is indeed a love match, then both partners will understand and know how to satisfy the basic emotional needs within one another. Each individual will require dedication and tender loving care, but while Cancer seeks stability and emotional harmony, Leo craves heartfelt compliments and sincere admiration. Both are fiercely loyal Signs, even to the point of possessiveness...Cancer for the sake of safety and Leo for the sake of self-confidence. However, each partner will be committed to an enduring and rewarding relationship and since the desires of both are similar, each could fill a very important void in the life of the other.



In short, this is rather favorable match, given that both are lovers of comfort and security, coupled with a mutual preference for the grand scale. In addition, both will enjoy having a lovely home and close-knit family. Leo is certain to bring flair and passion to this combination, while Cancer will undoubtedly display a sensitive and intense instinct to nurture. However, it is a "given" that the Leo partner will always be the bigger and bolder individual due to his or her vivid personality. Because both Signs here are so strong-minded, this pair must work constantly and attentively toward understanding and acceptance. Both of these individuals are inclined to take charge and many disputes may arise because of this. Nonetheless, as long as each is willing to reassure the other in practical and romantic ways of the importance of the relationship, then a happy medium can often be attained within this combination.







Since Leo is inherently a Sign with a strong and dominating character, this combination would probably not get along so well as others whose Signs are identical. Both partners here are rather inflexible which is almost sure to result in trouble. The male Leo will want to assume the role of leader, but will have to battle with the female Leo for this right since she will also wish to lead. In short, both partners will strive to be the "boss" in this relationship. It will be very difficult for this female to take orders from the male and vice versa. Thus, an already tense situation is certain to be aggravated even further. A career will also be very important to both and this could lead to competition between the pair. Since the male Leo tends to prefer his mate to be rather "girlie," this desire for a career could make him view the Leo female as being slightly unnatural.



Although there is no Sign of the Zodiac as warm-hearted and giving as Leo, these natives will always yearn to be the center of attention...but there can only be one center. Nonetheless, since a Leo individual tends to love with all of his or her heart, this trait could go far in overcoming some of the worse aspects associated with this Leo/Leo combination. The love of "show" will likely result in a home which is akin to a showplace for friends and family to admire, but since these natives generally gamble with life and enterprises, the monetary affairs of this union is apt to be unstable to say the least. Thus, perhaps the desire for both partners to have a career is a necessary component for a successful relationship...one partners standing a chance of continuing to pay the bills in the event the other partners fails.



This Sign is associated with a strong sex drive and thus, both partners here will be compatible. However, this could lead to an overactive sex life which may branch out into somewhat perverse directions...totally devoid of love unless checked and kept within bounds. In short, this combination can result in an intense relationship driven by lifelong love or lifelong hate.







In general, Virgo natives are not attracted to Leo subjects. There may well be an intial attraction on the part of Leo due to an unfilled need for constant flattery which caused the Leo individual in question a rare moment of feeling inferior. Virgo may have viewed the crestfallen expression of Leo as that of a soul in trouble and, since Virgo is the helpful Sign, would have been most eager to provide aid, not expecting to see a totally different person once the Leo native had regained his or her self-confidence. The Virgo partner will be thrifty with money, whereas Leo is much more generous and the differences here regarding finances will include a vast array of things...everything from planning a budget to putting money away for the future.



Leo individuals tend to live for the moment while Virgo exists in the mental world of the future. Thus, these two differing opinions is sure to be the cause of much tension. Critical Virgo is likely to make cutting remarks which will deeply wound the Leo partner, particularly if the Virgo individual is displeased regarding some type of extravagence on the part of the Leo native. Unlike Leo, Virgo subjects consider recreational pursuits to be a waste of time...time which could be much better spent in reviewing plans for the future...but Leo natives would rather be engaging in fun activities (hosting a party or going out with friends, for example). Thus, the attitude of both partners in this respect will go far in breaking up the relationship. The fiery sexuality of Leo here will fail to be matched by Virgo since Virgo is rather easily satisfied and has no need for games or fantasies. Approach to the earning power of each may also be a source of irritation to the Virgo partner, being a Sign which can work long and hard hours barely making a living while waiting for one of Leo's wild schemes to pay off. In short, the Leo/Virgo relationship will be a shaky one at best and unlikely to maintain unless tolerance is the main ingredient of the union.







Both Leo and Libra are exceptionally warm characters, but the compatibility here seems to be lacking. Leo enjoys a good fight and any arguing match will doubtless help this individual to "clear the air." However, such disputes are perceived threatening to the peace-loving and harmonious Libra native. Any attempts on the part of Libra to discuss differences in a calm manner will be met with Leo's fiery temper...something the Libra partner will find ugly, unbalanced and uncongenial. Leo subjects are prone to delay facing any decision-making unless it involves a pressing concern and the Libra native will likely perceive this attitude as being irresponsible and unloving. Thus, even more friction is provoked.



Those governed by Libra tend to worry about a loss of youth and personal attractiveness. Therefore, they are prone to flirt with members of the opposite sex...usually for reassurance when a positive response is received. Such behavior provokes a strongly possessive and jealous streak in the Leo partner, who will doubtless horrify the Libra native in question with violent outbursts of temper regarding what Libra considers to be "harmless" actions. Both partners are likely to be "on-again off-again" workers, each spending a great deal of time simply "lazing around" and doing nothing. However, since neither partner is likely to realize this as a personal trait, the end result is often a hurling of insults regarding the other's laziness.



In terms of sexual desire, the tastes here are rather similar. Libra needs glamor and fantasy, looking to his or her mate to supply such and, if this need is not met, then the Libra partner will probably go in search of someone new. The Leo approach to sex could be a straight-forward and direct one which, with a different partner, might well result in a trip within the realm of fantasy, but with Libra, this is unlikely to come to fruition given the many hours this couple will spend arguing and bickering. In short, this is not a promising combination of Signs in terms of a romantic union and indeed, may even produce the kind of situation which brings about spousal abuse.







Scorpio natives are prone to dissect everyone and everything which happens to fall under their watchful eyes. However, in this combination, the Scorpio subject is likely to be highly insulted should the Leo partner attempt to do the same thing. Leo individuals have an open manner of speaking but seldom reveal everything about themselves. They like to hold back certain things which results in the Scorpio partner becoming indignant...although he or she will be equally as secretive (or even more so) and refuse to fully open up under any circumstances. In essence, those ruled by Scorpio have a difficult time in finding a suitable partner from any Zodiac Sign due to the overly-demanding and overbearing ways which are inherent in these natives.



Scorpio expects total obedience and an absorbtion in his or her work and life...often to the suppression of Leo's personal desires. This leads to the Leo partner experiencing much unhappiness and bitterness. Scorpio will doubtless dictate to Leo how the money may be spent, but will have no qualms in spending for thing that are personally wanted. It is indeed true that Leo is somewhat notorious for being extravagent, but Scorpio will demand that any such spending first be "cleared" with him or her. The sexual appetites of Scorpio are somewhat infamous for being overactive, so this aspect of the relationship may compensate the Leo partner for many other things, but this is also an area where the Leo partner is likely to be expected to give way to the wishes of Scorpio and, when it is noticed by the Leo partner that Scorpio is reluctant to reciprocate, Leo will doubtless begin to feel hurt and rejected. In short, this will be a rather storm-tossed union at best.







Natives of both Leo and Sagittarius are blessed with the same warm, generous and loving characteristics, but Leo will need to learn that Sagittarius "gives" to everyone with no one person capturing his or her exclusive attention for very long. In short, the Leo partner could very easily end up with a broken heart from this union. Sagittarius is apt to come up with some wild ideas or huge gamble with a view to making a great deal of money and will doubtless entice Leo's support in this endeavor. However, should everything fall through or losses prevail, although the Sagittarius partner will be grateful for the love and support offered by Leo, it is inherent in the Sagittarius nature to make the Leo partner also share in the blame for such failure.



Sagittarius individuals must have "space" in order to exercise the personal freedom which is so loved by this Sign. These natives simply fail to understand why the Leo partner is prone to engage in fits of jealousy over what are personally perceived to be "harmless flirtations." However, paradoxically, the Sagittarius subject will be very possessive of the Leo partner. Despite being an individual who is fond of the outdoors and something of a sports enthusiast, the Sagittarius partner will not mind if Leo prefers to remain at home in comfort...provided they can come to an agreement on other recreational pursuits to be undertaken together. If the Leo partner here can refrain from trying to "tame" the Sagittarius native and does not condemn and/or argue over the sexual indiscretions that might be committed, then the Sagittarius partner may someday decide that there is no reason to look elsewhere for the satisfaction that can be found at home. The Leo/Sagittarius union does have the potential to be a rewarding relationship...as long as the love and desire is there.







In areas of everyday life, there could not be two different personalities than those of Leo and Capricorn. Leo loves clothes, the very best furniture and is constantly seeking the status symbols of life. Capricorn could truly not care less about such things, finding the simple life much more attractive and believing that to save for the future is of paramount importance. The style of "show" inherent in the Leo character will make the simplest of outings appear to the more thrifty Capricon partner as though it cost a fortune...and this will likely be the major source of woes associated with this union.



Natives of Capricorn experience periods of wanting to be alone, particularly when he or she feels under too much pressure, or the arguments become too intense. Under such circumstances, it is not unusual for these subjects to disappear for days, leaving the Leo partner to conduct a panicked and worried search. Meanwhile, the Capricorn individual will likely be totally unconcerned regarding the furor he or she has caused and too many of such vanishing episodes will doubtless eventually wreck the nerves of the highly-strung Leo individual. Capricorn individuals find it difficult to ever see the "brighter side" of life, whereas Leo natives are basically "cock-eyed optimists." Thus, this combination of Signs could well be at odds over even the most minor of things. In terms of sexual compatibility, Leo approaches sex in a rather light-hearted and fun-loving manner, whereas Capricorn is straightlaced and serious. Over time, the Capricorn partner may loosen up somewhat in this area, but that is by no means a certainty. Capricorn consider the Leo desire for intimacy to be rather overindulgent...something such natives may find irritating since it is inherent in this Sign to believe in moderation of all things.







The inherent aloof nature of Aquarius will probably present a challenge to the Leo native here, and may possibly be the "drawing card" which first brings this couple together since Leo is sure to believe that the Aquarius individual is truly quite warm-hearted despite that "frosty" exterior. In truth, for this relationship to work, Leo will have to learn and accept that the Aquarius partner will never be as warm-hearted and generous with self as Leo would like or expect. Both of these subjects are proud individuals with fixed opinions. Thus, there are likely to be many arguments. Being a humanitarian, Aquarius subjects are not overly interested in material gain, whereas Leo natives strive for success in financial matters and have little patience for Aquarius ideals...ideals which Leo considers to be unrealistic.



The lower type of Aquarius native is apt to be rather cowardly in life and will never confront anything, excepting violent quarrels with his or her spouse. The second this cowardice is noticed by the Leo partner, there is sure to be a loss of respect which will send the Leo partner out of the relationship in search of a mate he or she can respect. In terms of sexual compatability, this is likely to be rather unsatisfactory for the Leo partner. Aquarius natives can...and will...find others who capture their interests, leaving Leo frustrated, regarding the Aquarius partner as an inhuman and uncaring soul.







Pisces natives tend to give the impression that they need to be protected or "mothered" and this could be the initial attraction for Leo individuals. However, Leo is sure to get a big surprise when the Pisces partner suddenly becomes positive and takes any actions necessary on his or her own behalf. If Leo should persist with the union and become involved in a long-term relationship, this can lead to drastic effects on the Leo partner since Leo natives always like to know exactly where they stand in any situation. Both partners here will be vain individuals and share in the love of extravagant clothing...but that is about as far as the sharing will go.



Those governed by Pisces are generous with love and affection but, on occasion, may tune-out the Leo partner and retreat into a small and quiet world where personal problems can be resolved and solitary decisions be made. Under such circumstances, the Leo partner is likely to feel puzzled, hurt, left out and frustrated at such treatment. Thus, it is inherent in the Leo nature to indulge wholeheartedly in a round of parties and friends in an effort to combat such feelings. This may result in a Pisces partner who is perplexed and irritated at the Leo reaction. However, at the end of day, it is the Leo native who will be deeply hurt and possibly even a nervous wreck, since the ability of Pisces to employ this Sign's infamous intuition can disconcert the Leo partner and Leo will have no personal secrets he or she has not shared with this Pisces partner. The sexual relationship here could be the thing to make or break this union. Both partners will be highly-sexed and enjoy the romantic times spent together. In order to keep Leo happy, the Pisces partner must learn to control the inherent changeable moods and keep such moods separate from the lovelife. If the Leo native is able to accept an individual governed by a somewhat weaker Sign as a partner, then this relationship could work out rather well...but the Leo/Pisces combination will never be one of the strongest unions.







When it comes to matrimony, Leo individuals are probably most in tune with those

signs which also fall under the jurisdiction of the Element of Fire...namely Aries and

Sagittarius. Sagittarius would provide humanity and understanding to the partnership

coupled with a restless and go-ahead quality which strongly appeals to Leo. This is a

combination which would probably engage in many fights but the individual tastes are

truly not very far apart and the Sagittarius view of life in general conincides to a

high degree with that of Leo. Aries could provide much "go" and ambition to a

partnership with Leo...qualities which Leo greatly admires. The aims in life here are

likely to be exceedingly compatible, as are the methods for achieving those goals. On

the whole, the Leo/Aries combination would be a happy one...although two such

strong-minded types are sure to fight on occasion. Other suitable but less favorable

matches include Gemini and Libra.
