Leo and Aquarius

 Working my way back to you babe, with a burning love inside. 

This is a highly rated partnership in astrology. These two Sun signs are technically opposite each other on the zodiac, but they are extremely compatible romantically and when it comes to long-term relationships. Leo is a fire sign, and this gels very nicely with the air element Aquarius. Fire and air are naturally great companions who don’t restrict or confine each other, but who can fuel the energy in one another. 

We have two fixed signs in Aquarius and Leo, both intent on building stability into their lives. They want long-lasting emotional connections, they are loyal, and both pursue a high degree of trust in relationships. They are also zodiac signs that have a fair degree of tenacity, which creates relationship resilience. 

Now, Leo is ruled by the Sun, and Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and also Saturn. These represent very masculine energies, indicating that when Leo and Aquarius come together, good things are going to happen because they can work hard, play hard, and will always have a strong desire to overcome obstacles and to live their best lives. 

Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is all about leadership, having a personality, and a distinct flavor to their character. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, who is the rebel and the eccentric of the zodiac, who always wants to do things in their own inimitable style. What we have here is a couple whose theme tune may well be “We did it our way.”. 

This relationship has an 85% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility 

Leo and Aquarius are romantics. Actually, Aquarius is not known as a great romantic, but they really do enjoy the process of falling in love. Aquarius and Leo both have something in common: they could fall in love at first sight, and they really want to fall deeply in love. They both have a romanticized idea of dating and the process of falling in love, and therefore they can create something quite magical between the two of them. 

What’s amazing in a relationship between these two star signs is that they can fall in love even if they are separated by time and space. They may fall in love online, having never even met each other, and they can also be successful in age-gap relationships or same-sex relationships because perceived boundaries just don’t bother them. When they come together, boundaries dissolve, and they are both capable of an unorthodox and beautiful love affair. 

Leo is enchanted by free spirits. They love a rebel ie someone who represents something controversial and a little bit out there and that’s why they love Aquarius. Aquarius responds to characters that are effervescent and excitable. Aquarius loves people who are enthusiastic, gregarious, and socially confident. So, a big appeal of Leo to the Aquarius is their confidence. 

Aquarius are people-people, and they love to be around others, but they’re not necessarily always that confident, and they enjoy being with a positive spirit like Leo, who is quite daring and optimistic. 

Sexual Compatibility 

This pair has great chemistry. Part of their sex life is stimulating each other’s imagination, and so romantic communication is very important. Knowing how to use images, memes, poetry, and words to create romantic curiosity and to attain intimate arousal through that mode is very, very important. 

What Leo craves in terms of sex is something a little bit exotic or inspiring, and they feel that being with Aquarius is almost an otherworldly experience, something totally different, and that is something that’s vital to the bedroom experience for Leo. 

For Aquarius, Leo is sometimes too obvious or predictable, thus Leo needs to learn to be verbally stimulating or to embrace some sexual games and to generate surprises to keep Aquarius amused in the bedroom. Aquarius has to have their curiosity aroused in the bedroom, and that’s something for Leo to bear in mind. For Aquarius it’s not just about affection as intimate arousal has an intellectual element too. 

Friendship Factor 

Both these zodiac signs want to be unique, and they feel best about themselves and life when they are pursuing something that has significance, that is special, or that is something brand new. So, the more their friendship revolves around discovery, innovation, or some form of pioneering activity, the better. 

If their friendship becomes trivial and dull, with a focus on mundane matters of no importance, the friendship can begin to feel irrelevant and may fail. So, the friendship is most powerful where they engage in creative, meaningful hobbies together where they both express their unique talents. 

They must always foster within each other what is most unique and special, because when they do that, they both elevate their energy and succeed beyond their wildest expectations. If either becomes bogged down in negativity or purely pragmatic matters, that can lead to the friendship drifting apart.

These two both have very firm opinions, and often their attitudes towards politics or social matters are very different and therefore there can be many heated arguments. Aquarius and Leo are both intellectually competitive, and so there will be vigorous debate, but they should agree to disagree. Why not? 

They both have a need to improve on things, to perfect things or to invent new ways of doing things, this innovative streak means they take an interest in each other’s career or goals. 

Marriage and Long-Term Potential 

What makes this zodiac match delicious is that Leo and Aquarius are natural compliments, they are different enough not to threaten each other and yet they enjoy the qualities the other has and there is friendship and camaraderie. They make a good team and marriage can be very successful. 

However, they do have different values and priorities and these can cause not only arguments, but lingering hostility. Both have ways of seeing the world which are often opposed and they may clash on how to bring up the children. Leo has to work hard not to take the disagreements too personally as Leo can be too defensive. Aquarius may occasionally enjoy stoking the Leo fire as they get off on drama. 

Both must remember that each shows care in different ways and so they may have to spell out their needs to each other, so that they both understand what the other most wants and needs. 

If either does walk away, that may not be the end of it, there’s always a way back. Aquarius usually offers an olive branch after a long time as he misses Leo terribly. Leo may wish the Aquarius had come forward sooner, but to be honest both may want the other to suffer a little first, before the “showstopping” reunion. 

This marriage can survive breaks, bust ups or even divorce as they are always working their way back to each other. 

Strengths and Challenges 

Leo and Aquarius don’t necessarily agree on everything or anything, but that’s what makes this relationship quite stimulating, they have different perspectives, but these are what contributes to the chemistry. They are quite tolerant of each other’s quirks and moods and tend to accept most aspects of each other even if they do rub each other up the wrong way occasionally.

Aquarius rather likes Leo’s passionate nature and gets turned on when Leo gets angry and animated. Leo rather like the fact that Aquarius is rather zen and rational, a perfect anecdote to the more emotional Leo personality which tends to overreact Leo is outspoken, opinionated and full of ideas and Aquarius loves that, being an intellectual sign who enjoys communication and who likes an expressive partner. Leo values what’s unique and special and Aquarius, being a maverick, has that eccentric air that excites Leo. 

Leo tends to get more angry or animated than Aquarius, who tends to be cold and dismissive, which can drive Leo mad. Aquarius really gets under the Lion’s skin, which may make them go on the attack. Both can end up hurting each other quite badly simply because they perceive each other as thick skinned and their insults never seem to hit home, but believe me they do. 

These zodiac signs often don’t have constructive conversations and while compromise is possible, it’s hard to find those compromises as they don’t go about discussing issues in the right way. 

They can both be pig-headed, when they dig in they dig in. Both Leo and Aquarius are slow to forgive when they get hurt, the wounds take a long time to heal. Each star sign is proud and so making up is hard work. 

Leo needs attention, when they aren’t getting it they can become dramatic and may exaggerate, this can alienate Aquarius. Aquarius can be cold or aloof and could withhold affection as a tactic to punish Leo. 

Final Verdict 

This match had an 85% success rate. 

There’s mutual respect and fascination, these zodiac signs are drawn to each other’s personality and they want to be a little more like the other. They can learn to be more balanced personally by observing how the other reacts to situations. 

The awesome thing about this astrology combination is that both star signs think big. They are imaginative signs who never cease to generate ideas and each has a desire to discuss both personal and universal matters. They gain a lot from being together and the marriage relationship can be the catalyst to personal development. 

The astrology match can be even more successful when they learn to say sorry without strings attached and agree to disagree. They don’t have to think alike to love each other. 

Leo and Aquarius show care in different ways and so they may have to spell out their needs to each other, so that you both understand what the other most wants and needs.

Sex is the solution! This match must improve on their sex life, fine tune sexual flirtation and sexual communication. Sex is a great route back to understanding and love if they have become estranged. 

Second decan Leo is the best match for Aquarius. Second decan Aquarius is the best match for Leo. 

Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
