Leo and Scorpio compatibility
Leo and Scorpio: an intense, loyal match with real power struggles.
This reading uses your Sun signs only: their elements, modes and the angle between them. Here's why.
Why: Leo is fixed fire and Scorpio is fixed water, 90° apart (a square), so you're both loyal and determined, but fire wants to shine openly while water keeps its depths private.

Your share card
What works
- Commitment on both sides. Neither of you gives up easily on a person.
- A strong pull, with a lot of passion and very little indifference.
- You protect each other fiercely from anyone who causes trouble.
Where you may rub
- Two fixed signs: when you disagree, both dig in, and a small spat can become a long cold war.
- Leo's public, social style can trigger Scorpio's jealousy, and Scorpio's secrecy can hurt Leo.
Tips for getting along
- Leo, tell Scorpio 'I trust you' and mean it. Scorpio, tell Leo 'I'm proud of you'.
- Pick a word that means 'pause this fight'. Both of you hate losing, so make stopping a draw.
- Balance public and private time: one evening out with friends, one evening that's only yours.
As friends or family
