Leo and Scorpio

Music and passion was always the fashion.

This is a passionate and dramatic combination of star signs, and I feel this offers a soulmate connection and a fulfilling relationship, fuelled by powerful sexual attraction and emotional depth. I’m very confident that this astrological relationship will deliver great dividends for each sign, but that doesn’t mean it’s without its hurdles. 

In Leo and Scorpio, we have two fixed signs. Fixed signs really appreciate the tenacity, determination, and loyalty they both offer. However, being very stubborn, they are often uncompromising, and they stick to their guns, which means when they lock horns with each other, the difficulties can be quite distressing in the short term. 

Both of them have to learn to put their egos on the shelf and embrace more rational communication to make sure that they don’t get drawn into drama at the expense of understanding. 

Leo is ruled by the Sun; Scorpio’s ruled by Pluto. These are the most powerful planets, they have immense energy and creativity, and can also be incredibly self-expressive. Leo has flair; Scorpio has charisma. Both of them have well-defined personalities, and they are drawn to each other because they are both characters who like to be experimental and dramatic. 

If I were to attribute colours to this relationship, I’d be seeing orange, yellow, and red. Despite the relationship being represented by orange, yellow, and red, I give this cosmic match the green light, and it has an 80% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility 

Leo is a Zodiac sign for whom romance is an essential part of life. For Leo, romance is all about life itself, it’s about creativity, spark, and the beauty that life can offer. It’s something they enjoy getting caught up in as a way of keeping the youthful spark of their character alive. 

Scorpios fall wonderfully, passionately, and deeply in love. Obviously, everyone knows Scorpio is the sign of sexuality and passion, and they want someone who reflects that really colourful, vibrant approach to life. In Leo, they see a partner they can be daring with. They see someone with leadership and courage and that excites Scorpio. They also see a sign capable of loyalty, which assuages the fears they often have going into a relationship. 

While Scorpio can be happy single, once they meet a Leo, they begin to think that being with the Leo could be better than being alone. Leo enjoys personality types that are intriguing. Leo likes rebels, people who have an edge to their character and we know Scorpio has that enigmatic side, with The Sting and that hint of danger about them, which kind of appeals to Leo.

All this creates a thrilling mix of energies that make the romance exciting. 

Sexuality Between Leo and Scorpio

Their sex life is sweet because both these star signs have a protective instinct. They are both essentially vulnerable zodiac signs who use either their creativity and leadership, or their charisma and sting, to keep harm at bay. Underneath their sometimes dramatic or flamboyant exteriors are very soft hearts, people who are actually deeply insecure. 

These two signs have a mask that they wear to deal with the world. The mask says, “I’m untouchable,” but really, they are quite vulnerable. When they come together sexually, they are both able to protect each other. In fact, both these Sun signs want to protect each other and have each other’s backs, which is why sex becomes so awesome between them. 

In sex, Scorpio likes fire, excitement, someone a bit daring, whimsical, and fairly playful as well, someone who can perhaps make them laugh and Leo can really fulfil the high expectations Scorpio has in bed. 

When it comes to Leo, they need a deeply emotional partner, someone who continues to surprise them and create a sense of mystery. Leo loves to have their imagination stimulated, and when there’s a little bit of mystery, that’s exciting for Leo – Scorpio can create that. 

So this is a very good sexual mix astrologically. 

Friendship Factor Between Leo and Scorpio

These two zodiac signs make great friends, they tend to be confidants. They enjoy sharing secrets, they trust each other to keep confidences, and they are always strong supporters of each other. 

Why they are good friends is that Leo has a positive, outgoing aspect to their character that can give Scorpio confidence. Leo is happy to cheerlead and help Scorpio do well in their career. 

Scorpio, on the other hand, has greater intuition and depth of understanding, and is very often more incisive in their approach to life. They can help Leo to be less naïve, because Leo does have a naïve side, and Scorpio is always there with their intuition, giving Leo warnings, and that’s why they make good friends. 

However, Scorpio needs time alone, and Leo can be more socially urgent. Leo needs to express their performative, outgoing side, and Scorpio doesn’t want to feel bombarded or exposed. Scorpio need their privacy and time to be reclusive.

Leo needs to be careful what they do on social media so they don’t disrupt Scorpio’s privacy, because Leo is not a private sign, they are an open book. Scorpio is very private. Leo wears their heart on their sleeve; Scorpio conceals. They’ve got to make sure that they keep each other’s secrets, that Scorpio isn’t left exposed, and Leo isn’t held back. 

Long-Term Potential Between Leo and Scorpio 

Ruled by the Sun and Pluto, both planets that like to create stable relationships, there’s a good chance that a long-term relationship can be successful. As they expand into the relationship, they grow stronger together. 

However, there are some pitfalls. Both of these zodiac signs are stubborn and have tempers. There are times when they will clash explosively. Both have high levels of ego involvement (in terms of their opinions and ideas) and neither likes to be second-guessed or criticised. Maintaining respect and calm is so important in this match. 

There are many good things going for this astrology combination. Both are gritty, steadfast, and determined to make it work. Sexually and romantically, it can be incredibly exciting. However, what they need to improve is communication, because their communication styles are vastly different. They need to develop an awareness of what communication works — because what they often do is just the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. 

They really have to understand how each best receives information. Passive-aggressive tendencies appear when either is hurt and they can retreat and be sulky or uncooperative. It’s so important that both of them keep their emotions in check and remain objective. 

One disadvantage is that this relationship can become codependent, so they have to be sure to maintain their respective careers, friendship groups, and hobbies and to avoid being thoroughly immersed in each other. 

Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship 

This is a love bubble of emotional contentment. Both star signs can fulfill each other sexually and romantically in a way that is utterly compelling and keeps the relationship strong. 

They are loyal and likely to have each other’s backs. They will never knowingly try to hurt each other, and when they have problems to face externally, they are a remarkably powerful force that can overcome any obstacle, it’s just a matter of working together, not against each other. 

They can be extremely successful as a career couple or power couple, particularly in politics and business. They complement each other’s personalities very well. Scorpio is more organised, strategic, and purposeful; Leo is more vibrant, confident, and go-getting. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with and can create the life of their dreams. 

However, both are deeply sensitive and can be very defensive. They don’t enjoy being criticised, and they both don’t react well to angry or hurtful words. It’s so important that they learn not to escalate situations. They are both inclined to go headlong into arguments rather than knowing when to walk away and let things simmer down. 

Leo needs to realise that Scorpio cannot be reasoned with when upset, and Scorpio needs to realise that they shouldn’t really use their sting with Leo, because Leo doesn’t get over it, and it won’t work. 

Their communication styles are totally different, and one of the problems is they always jump to conclusions. It’s vital that they listen properly to one another and make allowances for the fact that they both express themselves very differently. Weak communication can lead to misunderstandings and arguments. 

Both need to put their egos aside and understand how ego involvement fuels many of their disputes. Although the match is close, they both need to guard against the tendency to be possessive over each other. Both are jealous signs who want full custody of each other, lock, stock, and barrel — and this can be a recipe for disaster. As they’re so different, they really do need space. 

Final Verdict 

This astrology match has great potential to fulfil both zodiac signs and propel them to success. It is a relationship that’s exciting emotionally and creatively and that’s why the sexual side is so powerful and it has an 80% chance of success. 

They both hide behind masks of strength and courage, yet they are deeply vulnerable, and that’s why they have the power to protect each other. However, both are stubborn and egotistical, and when they lose their tempers, neither wants to back down or walk away. They both like winning, but winning at all costs can mean the cost of love and the relationship itself. 

They can become deeply emotionally dependent on one another, which is why the relationship is stable and enduring, but they need to watch out for codependency and trying to monopolise each other. These star signs tend to be possessive and controlling, which can actually limit their scope. They can almost spend too much time together. 

Second decan Leo is best with Scorpio, third decan Scorpio is 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.
