Leo is July 22 - August
22, depending on the year.
LEO AND ARIES
These two are the superstars of the zodiac. These well-matched partners
get along marvelously in the bedroom. They're an unbeatable combination
for deriving sheer joy and excitement from sex. They also share the same
likes and dislikes in other areas of life. However, they need all that
rapport to overcome one big problem-the head-on collision of two super
egos, each of whom wants to play the leading role. They have to learn to
share center stage. Otherwise, a glorious mating.
LEO AND TAURUS
Leo's sovereign right to rule runs smack up against Taurus's
determination to have its own way. Both are fixed signs, so neither will
give an inch .Leo merely becomes angrier and Taurus more obstinate.
Thrifty Taurus is also appalled at Leo's careless spending habits.
Taurus is cautious and deliberate; Leo expansive and extravagant. Taurus
stubbornly refuses to give Leo constant worship, and Leo is too
self-centered to give Taurus the devotion it needs. Leo is much more
exuberant than Taurus, both in and out of the bedroom. Too many
personality conflicts here.
LEO AND GEMINI
They strike it off immediately because they like so many of the same
things-glamorous social life, parties, theater, lots of friends. Lively,
independent Gemini brings out Leo's joie de vivre. Their affair is a
merry chase after variety and amusement. Leo finds Gemini's imaginative
sexual hi-jinks great fun, but Leo may also become jealous because of
Gemini's lighthearted approach to love. Leo is more intense than airy
Gemini. Life together will be stimulating and exasperating, but the
outlook is good if Gemini can stay faithful. Otherwise poof!
LEO AND CANCER
Both are romantics, though in different ways: Leo wants a relationship
to be glorious and exciting, Cancer wants it to be meaningful and
fulfilling. Leo doesn't get as overwrought as Cancer, who takes things
more seriously. Cancer needs security, tranquility, and is a
stay-at-home. Leo is boisterous and a gadabout who loves to be on
constant display. Cancer's dependency will please Leo-provided a little
adoration is thrown in. Leo is flamboyant in love, and Cancer is
responsive, loyal, and intense; Leo likes that. Mixed signals.
LEO AND LEO
When a king and queen are together, heads turn. This couple can have a
royal mating a grand passion conducted on a grand scale. Both are
romantic, colorful, exuberant about life, and highly sexed. The main
question is: Who's going to be in charge? It's difficult for one Leo to
make room for another ego as large as its own, but that's exactly what's
needed here. Each not only wants to sit on the throne, each wants to be
the power behind it as well. Grand lovers--and interesting rivals.
LEO AND VIRGO
Leo is drawn to Virgo's intellectualism, but Virgo doesn't understand
Leo's dramatic nature. Leo can't get from cool, reserved Virgo the
sexual responsiveness it demands. Virgo is practical and prudent; Leo is
extravagant and a spendthrift. Leo likes to live life in a really big
way, but Virgo is conservative, frugal and a nit-picker--which puts a
damper on Leo's high spirits. Virgo won't be dominated either. Leo needs
lots of flattery, but Virgo's tendency is to puncture inflated egos.
Both of them should look elsewhere.
LEO AND LIBRA
Leo's creative side meshes well with Libra's penchant for artistic and
esthetic pursuits. Leo is more interested in the strictly physical side
of love than Libra, but Leo's style and brio can win Libra over. Libra
is indecisive and Leo will naturally take charge. The checkbook may not
always balance because they're both extravagant and love a beautiful
setting in which to shine. Each will also try to outdo the other in
order to get attention. But in the bedroom, Leo is the master-and that's
what Leo likes.
LEO AND SCORPIO
There's immediate sexual fascination with each other. But Leo finds it
hard to cope with Scorpio's jealousy and possessiveness. Intense,
smoldering Scorpio is on a too short fuse, while Leo is much more
buoyant. Leo thinks Scorpio difficult and temperamental; Scorpio
considers Leo pretentious and a show-off. Scorpio doesn't understand
Leo's need to be continually surrounded by an admiring audience. Scorpio
would rather dominate than admire, and that doesn't suit Leo's kingly
state. Sex isn't everything.
LEO AND SAGITTARIUS
Leo is enthralled by optimistic, extroverted Sagittarius-and fun-loving
Sagittarius is enchanted with Leo's sunny openness to life. Together
they share a liking for freedom, adventure, and meeting new people. Both
are passionate and fiery sexual types, and if anyone can keep
Sagittarius faithful it's Leo. Leo's natural quality of leadership
brings out what loyalty Sagittarius can give. Leo is very proud, but
self-confident and expansive Sagittarius is perfectly happy to let Leo
strut.
LEO AND CAPRICORN
Leo's romantic, expansive nature is curbed by cautious, practical
Capricorn. Merry Leo likes to kick up its heels, but Capricorn
disapproves of too much self-indulgence. Both are highly sexed, but with
basic differences. Leo needs glamour in lovemaking and Capricorn can't
supply it. Leo will think Capricorn stingy with affection because
Capricorn's reserved, undemonstrative nature cannot give Leo the
adoration it needs. Neither will take a back seat or let the other
dominate. This affair will be on the rocks before it even leaves the
dock.
LEO AND AQUARIUS
There is initial physical attraction between these two, but Aquarius's
tendency to analyze and criticize will shake Leo's confidence and
deflate its ego. Leo views Aquarius's aloof emotions as a personal
rejection. Also, Aquarius's unconventional, experimental approach to
love may prove upsetting to Leo, who doesn't like to wander too far
afield. Both like socializing and meeting new people, but Leo always
needs to perform on center stage, which makes Aquarius impatient and
irritable. Aquarius is too independent to become Leo's devoted subject.
And that's where it ends.
LEO AND PISCES
Leo is flamboyant, domineering; Pisces is unworldly and mystical. They
intrigue each other because they are so different, but the differences
don't mesh well. Leo's active outgoing nature doesn't harmonize with
Pisces's dreamy introspection. Leo needs public acclaim, while Pisces
prefers the sheltered life. Both are more inclined to take than to give.
Leo can't tolerate Pisces's ultra-sensitivity, nor Pisces's inclination
toward exotic boudoir activity. Before long, the lion will start to
roam.
