Leo and Leo: Your compatibility clicks and clashes

Where you click:
An exciting royal matchup! When the zodiac’s King of the Jungle meets his Lion Queen, there’s a primal, soulmate recognition. At last—a creative, glamorous, visionary partner to fill the empty throne by your side. Plus, the sex is H-O-T! Mirrors on the ceiling, anyone? Call in the set designers, rent out the stadium! When you merge your larger-than-life plans, nothing short of supersized will fulfill you. Your shared love of history, family celebrations, and endless education can bond you more permanently over time.

Where you clash:
This is all well and good as long as you’ve secured funding. Your lusty appetites often trump your practical planning abilities, and you’ll need some outside support with setting up a solid foundation for your future. Check those egos at the door. If one Leo’s star rises higher than the other, the competition can get fierce…and ugly. Make sure your connection runs beyond the superficial. While you love being the enviable power couple, image alone won’t keep you together, especially on a bad hair day.

Love and compatibility by element

Leo and Leo are both fire signs

The heat is on! Your Sun signs are both in the element of fire. This exothermic combination can move from zero to soulmate in mere seconds, as you recognize a kindred spirit in this compatible astrology love match. But as quickly as your lusty wildfire blazes up, it can also sweep out of control…or go from sizzle to fizzle. Your tempers can be as scorching as your sex, so while you might set off an inferno in the sheets, your arguments can also be legendary.

This relationship must leave room for individuality, exploration and autonomy within safe boundaries.

Remember: Civilization began when man learned to make, tend and control fire. It cooks our meals, keeps us warm, powers everything. But by nature, fire does not WANT to be controlled, and neither do fire signs. This relationship must leave room for individuality, exploration and autonomy within safe boundaries. Making and keeping a commitment has to be handled delicately, so as not to lose the spark or smother the flame.

There are four elements in astrology: fire, earth, air and water. Each one plays an important role in the greater whole of humankind. A love match with someone from the same astrological element offers the comfort of familiarity. At last, you don’t have to explain yourself all the time! You both operate at similar speeds to a certain degree. As lovely as that is, it can also be “too much of a good thing,” causing your relationship to feel like a single track on continuous replay. After all, differences can be challenging in a good way because they push you both to grow.

As a same-element couple, you may need to make a conscious effort to not get stuck in a rut or even a competitive dynamic. Spending time with friends, coworkers or relatives of another element can introduce a more balancing energy. For example, a grounded earth sign can help two hotheaded fire signs look before leaping. An objective air sign reminds you to step back from your heated emotions and knee-jerk reactions. And a sensitive water sign can help you tune into your nostalgic side instead of glossing over your feelings.

divider-graylove and compatibility by quality or triplicity
Leo and Leo are both fixed signs

In astrology, the “qualities” or “triplicities” reveal the role you play in a relationship or collaboration. Are you a starter, a doer or a finisher? Do you like to take charge and have a plan, or do you prefer to go with the flow? As fixed signs, you are guardians of your “turf.” You like to plant a flag and set up your base, building an empire from there. If the two of you share an agenda, you can be an indomitable duo. Hello, power couple! But if you’re fighting for different causes, things can get ugly fast. You’ll both dig in your heels and stubbornly defend your territory. When you turn on each other, it can be an endless war, with blame and judgment, defending your point of view just to protect your ego. Your best bet is to channel this urge into creating a shared legacy—running a business together, starting a family, hosting all the holidays. Since fixed signs have a traditional side, you might both enjoy having everyone gather at your stately home for summer barbecues or New Year’s Eve parties. Just be careful not to get SO set in your ways that you insist on doing the same things year in and year out. Fixed signs can be allergic to change, so as a duo, you’ll need to actively invite new experiences into your world to prevent from getting stagnant.

divider-graylove and compatibility by polarity

Leo and Leo are both yang, or masculine signs

In astrology, every sign has a “polarity”: you’re either yin (feminine) or yang (masculine). You are both yang signs: aggressive, action-oriented and driven. In this astrology love match, you can motivate each other…or you can find yourself in a power struggle. Two yang signs must be careful not to bulldoze or tread on each other’s turf. Sharing the power and taking turns having the upper hand will be the key to your happiness.

divider-graylove and compatibility: your aspects

Leo and Leo are conjunct (the same sign)

In astrology love matches, we also measure compatibility by the aspect, or distance, between the two signs. Your signs are conjunct, or the same sign (zero signs apart). As they say, how can you love somebody else unless you love yourself? If you date or get into a relationship with someone of the same sign, congratulations. You’ve probably embraced your quirks and accepted your humanity. Now, you can celebrate that with a kindred spirit! If you haven’t learned to love yourself, warts and all, this relationship can inspire some crucial self-acceptance. Remember, though: #twinning might be comfortable, but autonomy is important to keep that frisky friction. Maintain some separation between your lives, even if it’s easy to hang out together. Otherwise, passion may cool to a brother-sister vibe.
