Leo is the zodiac lion, so they consider themselves the kings and queens of the jungle. Born between July 23 and August 22, Leo’s are the warmest, kindest, and most generous of all the star signs. They also happen to be extremely popular, sociable, and always want to be the center of attention. With their strong personality, stubborn streak, and short temper, they’re not the best match for everyone. But if you’re up for a challenge and plenty of fire and passion, being in love with a Leo will be an experience you’ll never forget. You just need to take a back seat.

A between Libra and Leo is full of fun and passion. These signs are both crazy about being in love. They know how to spoil each other, and in turn, they love to be spoiled. Libra is a natural at making others feel special, which is what Leo lives for. And a romantic like Libra will love being swept off their feet like only Leo can. This is Leo’s best match, hands down.

2. Leo + Sagittarius

Sagittarius is a fire sign, just like Leo. These two have the same outlook on life and like many of the same things. So they’re naturally super compatible as romantic partners. Both signs are fiery and passionate (which means they can come to blows at times). But they’ll understand each other on a deep level. Their hearts are in the same place.

3. Leo + Cancer

Cancer and Leo don’t seem like a likely couple, but there’s plenty of compatibility between them. While Cancer is a sensitive water sign, Leo is an impulsive fire sign, and misunderstandings can occur. But these two magically rise above their differences to fulfill each other’s needs. Their differing energies complement each other perfectly. Cancer may take some time to come out of its shell, but it’s a good match when it does.

4. Leo + Aquarius

Aquarius and Leo know how to make each other happy. These two signs find each other interesting, and their relationship is usually playful and fun. Their differences mean that they can teach each other things, too. Aquarius learns to be more ambitious, while Leo learns not to care so much about other people’s thoughts.

5. Leo + Gemini

A flighty air sign, Gemini makes a pretty good match for Leo. The love these two signs have together will sometimes be intense but still passionate and fun. Leo craves commitment, while Gemini values their freedom; they are versatile enough to make it work. Gemini can be held down when their partner keeps things interesting, which Leo knows how to do. Leo loves socializing, switching up environments, and life in the fast lane, with which Gemini is on board.

6. Leo + Taurus

Taurus and Leo love differently. An earth sign, Taurus tends to have a careful and logical approach to everything, including relationships. Leo, on the other hand, jumps right in and asks questions later. But despite their different personalities, these two signs still crave many of the same things. They both value commitment and are looking for a partner they can open up to. A relationship between them is often positive, even though there may be a few misunderstandings.

7. Leo + Aries

Aries and Leo are two very similar signs. Both fire signs are passionate, loyal, stubborn, and can often get carried away. Their similarities mean that they do understand each other. But, likely, they’re just too similar to make it work. Both want to be the leader in the relationship, and they’ll probably end up butting heads.

8. Leo + Scorpio

The relationship between Scorpio and Leo will be full of passion. These two signs may find each other captivating, and like other signs, Leo will likely be attracted by Scorpio’s charm. However, given that Leo is such a popular and sociable sign, Scorpio may get jealous. Leo is a crowd-pleaser, so they’re better off with a sign that is a little less possessive.

9. Leo + Pisces

Pisces isn’t the best match in the zodiac for Leo, and their compatibility levels are low. This water sign is so different from Leo that the two will probably confuse each other. They love differently, and while they’re both passionate, they tend to have different priorities. Leo’s fiery nature can easily upset Pisces, who Leo may find to be all talk and no action. When they make it work, both signs must put in a lot of time and effort to understand each other.

10. Leo + Virgo

Virgo and Leo sit next to each other in the zodiac, but they’re still one of the worst matches. These two signs are starkly different. They want different things and have different ways of dealing with life. Virgo is a cautious earth sign, while Leo is bold and fiery. They will probably struggle to communicate and constantly misunderstand each other.

11. Leo + Capricorn

Never say never, but Capricorn is the least compatible romantic sign for Leo. These two tend to irritate each other just by being themselves. While they value status and success, Leo doesn’t have the patience for Capricorn’s slow and steady approach. Likewise, Capricorn will likely resent Leo for the time that’s spent playing instead of working. Capricorn may find Leo too fiery, while Leo will find this earth sign too cold.

12. Leo + Leo

When two Leos come together in love, it’s like fireworks from the start. Both crave attention and thrive in the spotlight, leading to a relationship full of passion and excitement or a power struggle (hello, Bennifer). On the positive side, they deeply understand each other’s need for admiration and loyalty, but their desire to be the show’s star can cause a massive ego clash. If they can learn to share the stage, this fiery duo has the potential to create a love that’s as fierce as it is unforgettable.
