The dynamic
How Leo and Scorpio get on
Leo and Scorpio are 90° apart. Astrologers call this a square, an angle of tension. You are both fixed signs, so you want things with the same strength. Your elements, fire and water, want different things. This creates disagreements, but it also helps you both change and improve.
Love · Tense
In love
The attraction is strong, and so are the arguments. Leo’s pride meets Scorpio’s need for control. With humour and patience, this can be a very lively couple. In a relationship, Leo looks for warmth, admiration and a partner who is proud of them. Scorpio looks for depth, complete loyalty and no secrets.
Friendship · Tense
As friends
As friends, Leo is the one who makes every plan feel like a celebration. Scorpio is the one who you call with a secret you cannot tell anyone else. You argue, you laugh about it afterwards, and you help each other improve.
Work · Tense
At work
At work, Leo gets results by leading openly and building everyone’s confidence. Scorpio gets results by studying problems in depth and not giving up. Leo and Scorpio are both fixed signs, the signs in the middle of each season. You are both loyal and slow to change your mind. You finish what you start. You also find it hard to give in during an argument.
Making it work
Three things to try
- When you argue, discuss the problem, not the person. Agree in advance who decides what.
- Watch for pride from Leo and need for control from Scorpio.
- For a fuller answer, compare your whole birth charts, starting with your Moon and Venus signs.
