How does Leo get along with every other zodiac sign? Explore all 12 compatibility reports below — ranked from most harmonious to most challenging.
Leo loves with the intensity of the sun — warmly, generously, and with a flair for the dramatic. As a Fixed Fire sign ruled by the Sun itself, Leo needs to feel adored, admired, and central to their partner's world. In return, they offer fierce loyalty, grand romantic gestures, and a protective devotion that makes their partner feel like royalty.
Compatibility for Leo hinges on whether their partner can genuinely appreciate their radiance without competing for the spotlight. Leo is generous and warm-hearted but requires regular acknowledgment. Partners who are stingy with compliments, emotionally cold, or overly critical will dim Leo's natural glow.
Leo pairs most powerfully with fellow Fire signs (Aries, Sagittarius) who share their passion and zest for life, and Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) who provide the social stimulation and intellectual admiration Leo enjoys. Earth and Water signs can offer grounding depth but must appreciate Leo's need to shine.
