Leo and Pisces

Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of? 

When I think of this particular cosmic connection, something always makes me think of glitz and glamour, as these two zodiac signs have a penchant for entertaining, a love of Hollywood movies, and a great romantic imagination. Now, although these star signs are very, very different in so many ways, what they have in common is a taste for beauty and style and a desire to have a dreamy, romantic experience in love. 

They’re signs that, when in love, love wholeheartedly and experience escapism through the emotions of love and romance. So, this is really a colorful combination, it’s one that sparkles and pops a little bit like a fine champagne. I picture these two getting together at a glitzy cocktail party and immediately being curious about each other. Even though they have no idea where the romance is going, they’re willing to give it a try. 

Leo is, of course, a fixed fire sign, and Pisces is mutable water. What we have in Leo is a nature full of desire, optimism, and also a need to be involved in powerful, transformative relationships through which they express both their creativity and their desire to have children and a prosperous future. What we have in Pisces is mutable water, it is a Sun sign that’s quite subtle, mysterious, highly intuitive, and very adaptable. Pisces is a curious and open minded lover who loves unconditionally. 

Pisces is a chameleon, a person who can feel at home with many eclectic groups of people and in a variety of different situations. The Piscean personality is far more versatile than Leo but often less assertive. Pisces can be a lot more passive; they draw things to them, whereas Leo goes out and grabs what they want. 

This is a terrific astrology combination for Pisces because Leo, being a fixed fire sign, can create opportunities, make things happen, and take leadership so the relationship gathers momentum. Pisces, as the mutable water sign, is able to use their powers of empathy, perception, and creative awareness to ensure things come to a successful conclusion and that the spiritual side of life is never neglected. 

Leo is ruled by the Sun. Pisces is ruled by Neptune. These planets are mutually sympathetic in many ways, yet they are similar in terms of being creative and very artistic. What they both have is a connection to the higher realm, a desire to experience something beyond pragmatic reality. In other words, they both have a certain visionary power, and they can grasp the grander themes of life beyond the mundane. 

The relationship is high on romance, it’s rewarding sexually, communication may not be fantastic, and whether they will stay married is reliant on other horoscope factors, but overall, this is a promising match.

This particular relationship has a 70% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility 

This cosmic match is very strong when it comes to romance. We have in Pisces and Leo two very artistic zodiac signs who have flair, who can be quite flamboyant, glamorous, and even if they aren’t those things, they certainly have an eye for beauty and a desire to escape. 

They enjoy going to see films and perhaps even carrying the characters in their head and role-playing. They love going out on the town. Both of them are pretty social creatures who love to experience new venues, new activities, and may even enjoy going to festivals or traveling together. Travel is certainly something that inspires both of them. 

Both have a sensitive, intuitive awareness of each other’s deeper nature. They can perceive the hidden emotions within each other, which means that their initial meeting will leave a bigger impression on both than one might imagine. They really affect each other and that can be quite surprising, because it’s not obvious why they’ve been attracted. However, once they’ve met, they can’t stop thinking about each other, it’s almost like there’s a powerful psychic force drawing them together. 

Often, when these two star signs come together, their romance inspires them not only to fulfill their potential in terms of better use of imagination and creative talents, but also to be better people. Together, they often experience a heightened emotional state where they have access to divine inspiration. 

There can sometimes be deception or self delusion in this match. Perhaps they both see reflected in the other some hidden aspect of their own character that they want to run away from. So, are they truly in love with each other, or are they in love with something of themselves that they’ve lost? Can they discover it while they are together? 

Sexual Compatibility between Leo and Pisces 

For Leo, Pisces is an excellent sexual companion, someone who makes them feel totally accepted, needed, and loved. Pisces have a way of relaxing Leo. They are extremely versatile and have a lot of tools that can help Leo fire have a thrilling sexual experience. 

Pisces happen to give great massages. They are able to stimulate Leo sensually through what they wear, how they look, and the fragrances they use. They really do have a great repertoire of romantic tricks of the trade that can inspire Leo, and Leo feels consoled by the charming, non-aggressive nature of Pisces. 

What Leo wants most in bed is to feel relaxed, and Pisces are certainly able to do that.

But how is the sexual arena for Pisces? Are they going to feel fulfilled? Well, what Pisces wants in the bedroom is someone who is extremely charming, warm, and can make the intimate experience soothing. 

Now, the problem is Leo can be a little bit lazy in the bedroom, they don’t always work as hard as they need to. They need to do more to be able to relax Pisces and put them at ease. Pisces can be very indecisive in terms of their sexual nature; they often suffer with identity issues, so they need someone who can truly bring out the very essence of them and bypass some of their insecurities. 

Leo needs to learn how to put Pisces at ease, so it’s important for Leo to be assertive and take leadership in the bedroom, but it’s also very important that Leo shouldn’t be pushy. The biggest danger is that Leo will absorb the benefits of Pisces without truly ever understanding what Pisces wants. 

Pisces can be quite sacrificing in the bedroom and may not make it clear to Leo what they want or need, which means Pisces could end up feeling unfulfilled. It’s up to Pisces to make their claim in the bedroom and push things in the direction they really want. 

Friendship Factor Between Leo and Pisces 

Where the friendship is powerful is in the mutual empathy and the willingness to do things for each other. This is a helpful pair, willing to step in to help, organize, console, or be there as a shoulder to cry on. 

Both zodiac signs are actually quite emotional. They can both be drama queens in a way; as they both like to overshare, and they want their feelings indulged. This is what makes them really good friends as they understand that heart-on-sleeve side of both of them. 

Now, Leo is a lot more direct. Leos don’t tend to be very private and love to talk about their emotions, they’re either happy or they’re sad, but they want someone to share that with them. Pisces are more than willing to do that, which is great for the friendship. 

However, Pisces are a little bit more private, they don’t always want to share when they feel hurt or vulnerable, but if they do, Leo will be there as a warm supporter to give them a big bear hug and make them feel better. 

These are friends that are certainly great at helping each other release emotions. They’re not really the sort of friends who, after marriage, are going to hang out all the time doing stuff, because Pisces need a little bit of privacy, and their mutual hobbies are not always each other’s cup of tea. So, a little bit of space is really important once they are in a relationship.

Marriage and Long-Term Potential 

As much as this pair can achieve romantic and sexual satisfaction, and as enchanted as they are with each other, this is not necessarily going to be an easy marriage. 

Leo is quite a demanding partner, they set the bar high. They’re quite perfectionistic with relationships; they want a partner who can bring them certainty and stability, and with whom they never feel in doubt. However, Pisces is a bit of a dark horse. Leo are never truly satisfied that Pisces are devoted to them or they have an inkling that Pisces have itchy feet or might just think the grass is greener elsewhere. 

Leo is not 100% sure of Pisces’ feelings, and that doubt can undermine the relationship, because a Leo with doubt in their mind is sometimes cranky, defensive, and touchy. 

For Pisces, Leo’s energy can feel too intense. There are times when Leo is quite dramatic, pushy, and they lose their temper. Plus Leo is a sign that likes to get their own way. Now, a problem for Pisces is that they are very cooperative and often highly compromising and over the long term, they may feel that they are compromising too much, and resentment may build. They may really want a slightly more matter-of-fact partner – someone who brings more earthy stability – and they may want a partner who’s not always pushing forward. 

Pisces could feel Leo is a little bit materialistic, and that their ultimate destiny isn’t aligned. So Pisces will always have doubts, and Leo will have fears, and that can undermine a long-term relationship. 

Strengths and Challenges of This Match 

It’s an inspiring and exciting romance between two creative and often flamboyant star signs who want to live a life that is far from ordinary. They both have a certain sparkle and pizzazz about their character, which means they make an indelible impression upon each other and are compelled to discover more together. 

It’s a sexually very fulfilling relationship. Pisces brings to the bedroom that little touch of magic, drama, and mystery that Leo loves. Leo feels like they can truly escape with Pisces. Pisces enjoy the warmth and the assertive nature of Leo, which makes them feel really, really special and loved. So sexually, it really can work as long as Leo always puts in the effort. 

They’re a very sympathetic pair. Together, they are happy to indulge each other’s emotions and be that mutual shoulder to cry on. They welcome the kind of moody, more sensitive side in each other; they like to see the vulnerability in each other as that makes the relationship stronger. They’re both happy to give each other a little bit of nurturing.

Fire and water can be a bit of a damp squib, and the problem with this astrology match is that, over time, Leo struggles to comprehend Pisces. Pisces may be a little too vague, and their intentions may remain a conundrum. Leo doesn’t tend to like what they can’t understand as it makes them insecure. They may feel Pisces doesn’t bring enough certainty to their life when they really need stability. They may even feel Pisces are unreliable and to Leo, unreliable is very close to untrustworthy. 

Ultimately, Pisces wants a witty partner who is better at analyzing their own emotions and not constantly needing validation. Pisces could find Leo hard work. In some cases, they both find that they have both inflated the image of the other in their mind. The relationship may be like a mirage, something that promised so much, but were they ever seeing each other clearly? 

This relationship can suffer from illusion, delusion, and self-deception, which is ultimately why it may fizzle out. 

Ultimately, as a fixed Sun sign, Leo wants something that is definite, well-defined, and gives them a sense of certainty. Pisces are restless and ever-changeable; they seek not to be fully known or fully understood. When the going gets tough, Pisces often like to retreat and see how things play out, whereas Leo likes to tackle things head-on. They have very different approaches to life and problems, so when problems hit in a relationship, they will both struggle to have the necessary faith in each other to help them muddle through. 

Final Verdict 

This is not a match you’ll find many astrologers waxing lyrical about, because they are so very different in terms of element, modality, and their natures. A lion and a fish — well, what more do you have to say? They are totally different. 

However, I feel that romantically and sexually, it is an intriguing and very often spiritually beautiful relationship. In both, they can find escapism and one of the most important things in a relationship is being able to totally escape, let go, and fly away to another realm with your partner. So there are many things that make this relationship quite beautiful, plus the fact that there’s a lot of empathy and emotional honesty. 

Why I feel this relationship is slightly difficult in the long term is because Pisces navigate their life very differently to Leo. Leo has a lot of strength and courage, and they want to be with a partner who shows determination and some stoicism. Pisces can seem a little bit weak in times of crisis to Leo, which Leo finds difficult to deal with. 

Pisces use their intuition to navigate situations, and they find it easier to adapt and go with the flow rather than tackle things head-on, and that’s what works for them. They may find Leo always keeps up the pressure and makes them feel constantly stressed out.

This zodiac match has a 70% chance of success, but, this relationship could be even better if there’s a Taurus Moon, a Sagittarius Rising, or maybe even a Capricorn Rising. Second decan Leo gets on best with Pisces, and third decan Pisces get on best with 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.
