Leo compatibility
Leo is a Fixed Fire sign ruled by the Sun. It shares its element with Aries and Sagittarius (trine), a compatible element with Gemini and Libra (sextile), and its Fixed modality with Taurus and Scorpio (square) and Aquarius (opposition).
Leo gets along most easily with the other fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, which sit in a trine and share Leo's warmth and appetite for life. Gemini and Libra, the air signs in sextile, feed Leo's fire with talk, fun and charm, and those matches tend to be easy with a little effort. Taurus and Scorpio, in square, share Leo's fixed modality, so expect stubborn standoffs but also deep loyalty. Aquarius, the opposite sign, mirrors Leo with friction, attraction and a lot to learn. Cancer and Virgo, the neighbours, and Capricorn and Pisces, in quincunx, ask for more adjustment. Another Leo understands the need to be seen. Your Sun sign is only one line of your chart, so compare full charts too.

Past the Sun sign
A Sun sign sets the angle between two people. The rest lives in two whole charts: Venus and Mars, the Moon, Mercury and the houses.
