Ruling planet: The Sun

Element: Fire

Symbol: The Lion

Leos are most often fun-loving, friendly, charismatic, and optimistic. A Leo is a natural leader, and one who is most often found setting the trend, rather than following it. If a Leo encounters hardship in life, they often survive with their good humor and positive outlook intact. Once a Leo decides to commit to a powerful love, they are completely faithful to the relationship. They will give their heart, body, and soul to their partner. This is perhaps their greatest strength and also their greatest weakness: The will love completely and utterly, but if their trust is betrayed they will be unable to forgive, and unable to forget. If a Leo feels that a relationship has finished, then it is finished. They will leave, and they will not return. Their pride will not let them.

The Ruling planet for Leos is the Sun. This makes a Leo loving, big-hearted and giving. Leos are at their best when they are part of a caring and warm relationship. Completely loyal to their chosen partner, a Leo will be very protective of their relationship. Leos are born under a Fire sign, and therefore the physical aspect of their relationship is very important to them.

Leos often require partner who can accept and embrace their optimism and adventurous spirit. A Leo is a firm believer that life is here to be enjoyed, and a lover who doesn’t want to have fun isn’t going to suit a Leo very well.

Often a Leo’s perfect companion will be an Aquarius. It’s a Leo’s opposite in terms of the zodiac, which means that the two signs will rarely be in conflict. Both signs have love and respect for people, and hold similar ideals, but you won’t get in each others way vying for leadership.

Other compatible signs would be Aries and Sagittarius, as they match your Fire element. They’re used to being the leaders too however, so there may be clashes at times. As long as you each allow the other to be in charge in their chosen area of expertise, a relationship should be very effective.
