Leo Sun Sign Compatibility Matches
Matches With Leo
The following are sun sign comparisons for Leo the Lion. Which signs match with Leo? Who does Leo get along with, and why? These interpretations are written with romantic relationships in mind and are from the Romantic Compatibility Report.
Note that other chart factors, especially the Moon sign, will modify these compatibility readings. For example, a Leo with an Aries Moon will interact differently with a Taurus than a Leo with a Taurus Moon!
SUN LEO-ARIES
Both of you are independent, self-motivated individuals, very much concerned with your own creative work and interests, and you prefer not to feel like you “own” each other. ARIES, however, often acts in a manner that is socially inappropriate while LEO is more aware of appearances and is more concerned with the response of others. ARIES is somewhat indifferent to other people’s opinions, while LEO craves approval and affirmation from others.
You are both immensely proud and neither of you wants to take the back seat in this relationship. There is a great deal of harmony between you, but being two spirited and somewhat volatile people, when you clash your fights are likely to be dramatic and boisterous.
Compatibility Rating: (See color codes below)
SUN LEO-TAURUS
Both of you are strong-willed and stubborn, and once you dedicate yourselves (to a person or a project), you will stay with it in good times and bad. Longevity, stability, and loyalty characterize your relationship.
Both of you can be infuriatingly obstinate and inflexible at times, and your personal styles and tastes often conflict. For instance, LEO is a more social creature, wants to go out more often, and is more daring and colorful than TAURUS is. LEO will spend or gamble more freely than TAURUS.
But even though you thoroughly disagree sometimes, your commitment is always strong and rarely questioned. You KNOW you can depend on one another. Both of you are so resistant to change that even if you hated each other, it would be hard to disengage yourselves and move on!
Also, you need to guard against becoming so self-satisfied and comfortable in your relationship that you take one another for granted.

SUN LEO-GEMINI
You both have a very childlike, playful, fun-loving side that is brought out when you are together. You both love drama and color, and you find one another to be delightful and interesting. GEMINI is more intellectual than LEO, however, and needs a variety of people, activities, and interests in order to be happy. LEO wants to be the most important person in GEMINI’s life, and may not appreciate all of GEMINI’s other interests and friendships.
LEO makes commitments and keeps them better than GEMINI does because LEO is less restless. Once having found something good, LEO sticks with it, and doesn’t completely understand GEMINI’s desire for novelty. Also, LEO is very proud and has a sensitive ego, while GEMINI can be a merciless teaser and doesn’t always take LEO seriously. For the most part, however, you are great friends and can be very compatible lovers.

SUN LEO-CANCER
Both of you take life very personally, probably more personally than you realize. Your feelings and your pride are easily wounded by criticism or lack of appreciation from the people you care about. There can be an unusually warm loving bond between you, though your temperaments are quite different.
LEO is very proud and wants recognition, appreciation, respect, and love from a partner. CANCER wants to be needed and desires sympathy, tenderness, and emotional support from a partner. LEO has difficulty accepting and expressing needs, sadness, or weakness, and is uncomfortable when CANCER expresses doubts, insecurities, weaknesses, or moodiness.
LEO is the more dominant of the two of you and is likely to take the lead in your relationship – which is fine with CANCER, who has no need to be on top.
Compatibility Rating: (See color codes below)
SUN LEO-LEO
You are both proud, vibrant, warm, but rather self-centered individuals. You both want to be the center of attention, and you may not want to share the starring role with your partner. Neither of you can dominate in this relationship – you must cooperate, which isn’t something that comes naturally to either of you.
Although it may not be obvious to others, both of you are very self-conscious individuals, and you are very concerned with your own personal creativity, personal recognition, and personal performance. Both of you are best suited to work that is very personal and creative – being one inconspicuous part of a large corporation is not for you.
Your relationship is likely to be either extraordinarily happy and fulfilling or else disastrous – with no middle ground. You tend to either adore each other or despise each other. You are both very loyal, but you must respect and believe in your partner. If you ever feel that your partner lacks integrity or honesty, or is competing with you, or does not appreciate or understand your creative work and motivations, then the love and admiration that you have for each other turns sour quickly.

SUN LEO-VIRGO
You two are very different! VIRGO is more modest, self-effacing, shy, and unobtrusive than LEO, who craves social approval, recognition, love, and applause. LEO tends to step into the limelight and outshine or overpower VIRGO. VIRGO is more emotionally self-sufficient than LEO is, and may not give LEO all of the “strokes” and appreciation LEO wants.
VIRGO also has a tendency to become fussy and particular, and these fits of perfectionism can have disastrous consequences when the target of VIRGO’s critical eye is LEO. LEO is particularly sensitive to criticism and tends to interpret VIRGO’s “constructive criticism” as a personal attack.
VIRGO is more analytical and psychologically astute than LEO, who may not appreciate being “picked apart” or psychologically analyzed by VIRGO! Another problem in this relationship is that LEO may take for granted much of the work and assistance that VIRGO provides.

SUN LEO-LIBRA
This can be a very warm and mutually fulfilling relationship. Both of you are romantics at heart and tend to be “in love with love”. You both need and love romantic gestures, the giving and receiving of gifts, etc. Personal appearances and attractiveness is important to both of you as well, and you both are somewhat vain.
LEO is more decisive and very clear about personal preferences and desires, while LIBRA is more flexible and will compromise graciously in order to please LEO. LEO is more self-absorbed or self-centered than LIBRA. Of the two of you, LEO is the stronger individual, and the balance of power in your relationship may be somewhat lopsided. However, LIBRA has a highly developed sense of fairness and equality, and will protest sooner or later if LEO begins to expect obeisance all of the time.

SUN LEO-SCORPIO
Both of you are very proud, stubborn, strong-willed individuals and you are attracted to the strength of character that you sense in each other. There is a feeling of conquest between you that may serve to intensify the excitement of your attraction to each other.
However, your strong wills may also prove to be a problem in a long-term relationship. You face the possibility that your combined inflexibility will make it difficult for the two of you to reach mutually satisfying decisions and both of you tend to stubbornly resist compromising when your preferences are different. A battle of wills is likely to ensue!
Another potential problem is jealousy or lop-sided bonding. SCORPIO bonds very intensely in romantic relationships and is inclined towards monogamy. LEO is also very loyal, but not nearly as intense, emotional, or obsessive as SCORPIO is.

SUN LEO-SAGITTARIUS
Warmth, enthusiasm, vitality, and joy are kindled when the two of you are together, and there is great magnetism between you. SAGITTARIUS draws LEO out, evoking the more light-hearted, fun-loving side of LEO. SAGITTARIUS also keeps LEO from getting stuck in a rut, introducing new ideas and experiences that LEO enjoys. This is a mutually beneficial relationship which promises lots of good times and a very active life together.
SAGITTARIUS’s frequent indifference or obliviousness to others’ personal feelings can result in blunt comments that wound LEO’s easily hurt pride. LEO is also more loyal than SAGITTARIUS is, who tends to wander (in actuality and fantasy) more than LEO does.

SUN LEO-CAPRICORN
CAPRICORN’s more emotionally detached, reserved, down-to-earth and somewhat cynical or skeptical attitude contrasts with LEO’s warm enthusiasm and basically cheerful temperament. In your personal style and tastes, also, this difference is very apparent: CAPRICORN prefers the classics, simple elegance, and either a very conservative, traditional style or an austere less-is-more, keep-it-simple style. LEO has a generous, lavish hand and loves rich color, warmth, and brilliance that borders on gaudiness. Sometimes, this translates into emotional terms also.
CAPRICORN is more careful, cooler, less inclined to gamble, wants a sure thing. LEO is more open and expressive and warm, and needs an abundance of appreciation and affection – more than CAPRICORN is inclined to give sometimes. One thing you do have in common: you both take your commitments to heart, and you prize fidelity and loyalty.

SUN LEO-AQUARIUS
AQUARIUS is drawn to LEO’s warmth and vitality, and LEO is drawn to AQUARIUS’s uniqueness, intelligence, and savvy. There are significant differences between you though. AQUARIUS’s colleagues, associates, and large social circle of friends and acquaintances are a very important part of AQUARIUS’s life, while AQUARIUS’s need for close, personal relationships is not as great as LEO’s. This characteristic is also reflected in your relationship!
AQUARIUS may seem cool and aloof to LEO. From AQUARIUS’s perspective, LEO takes life too personally and seems to dramatize events, idolize individuals, and, in general, be too self-absorbed. You are truly opposites in many ways and can certainly benefit from one another’s attitudes and insights.

SUN LEO-PISCES
A major difference between you is that PISCES lacks LEO’s natural egocentricity, personal pride and ambition, and the need to feel important and special. PISCES will not compete with LEO, and is perfectly comfortable not being the one in the limelight. In fact, PISCES has a passive streak and tends to recede into the background, avoiding intensely competitive situations where decisiveness and aggressiveness are required. Personal recognition is not that important to PISCES. LEO, on the other hand, loves to be noticed and appreciated, to be the center of attention, and tends to have an inflated sense of self-importance.
PISCES is gentle, receptive, compassionate, and very sensitive to the emotional tone in any relationship. PISCES is attuned to the subtle signals, unspoken feelings and needs of a partner, while LEO is a bit vague when it comes to such things. If you want or need something from LEO, you must clearly say so.
PISCES’s changeability, fluidity, elusiveness, sensitivity and awareness of subtlety fascinates or frustrates LEO, who is a much more straightforward, uncomplicated creature.
Also, LEO can easily dominate or trample over PISCES’s feelings, and this can be the source of considerable unhappiness.
