Astrological compatibility
Aries and Leo
♈ Aries (Fire, Cardinal) · ♌ Leo (Fire, Fixed)

Aries and Leo in love
An intense, fun couple, with lots of initiative and little patience. They light up quickly; the work is not competing over who leads.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work they divide things up well: one opens the way and the other sustains it to the end.
Why they get along this way
Element — Natural resonance. Both are Fire: they understand each other by instinct, share motivations and don't need to translate what they feel.
Rhythm. Aries is cardinal — inicia — and Leo is fixed — sostiene. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. They share Yang polarity (outward, expressive energy): they go in the same direction.
Rulers. Aries is ruled by Mars (action and desire); Leo, by Sun (identity and radiance).
What each one brings
Aries: initiative and leadership, courage and energy and enthusiasm.
Leo: creativity, natural leadership and generosity.
Where they can clash
Aries: impatience, impulsiveness and a tendency toward confrontation.
Leo: perceived arrogance, a need for attention and pride.
How to look after the bond
Don't take the harmony for granted: set yourselves challenges, because the risk of the trine is settling in.
