Leo compatibility with every zodiac sign
Leo compatibility is about how this sign's fire gets on with each of the twelve. In love Leo is bright and lavish: it courts with flair, loves out loud, and gives from the heart. It expects admiration in return, and nothing wounds it like coldness. Below is Leo paired with every sign: the angle they sit at on the zodiac circle and what that angle usually means. The angle is real, not made up.
How to read Leo compatibility
The signs sit on the circle every thirty degrees, and the angle between two is a classic aspect: trine, sextile, square, opposition. The same one astrologers measure between planets. One element gives a trine, the softest angle. A shared cross with different elements gives a square, the angle of friction. Opposite on the circle sits the opposition, pull and clash at once. Behind it is the geometry of the circle, checkable against the ephemeris.
And plainly: sign compatibility is a couple's climate, a verdict it is not. In astrology there are no bad matches, only hard ones, and the liveliest bond often holds on the hard ones. The angle tells you where the effort will be. Who you can be with is yours to decide.

FAQ
Who is Leo most compatible with?
Leo gets on most easily with the signs of its own element and the friendly one: between them sits a trine or sextile, the softest angles. But easier is not firmer: on the easy angles a couple can drift off, while a hard angle keeps it awake.
Who does Leo struggle with?
Friction comes from the square and the opposition: different elements on one cross, or signs face to face on the circle. A verdict it is not: square and opposition hold many couples better than the smooth ones, because they grow on the difference.
