Leo Compatibility: Your Most Suited Zodiac Signs, Ranked Worst to Best

Loving oneself is what thezodiac’s liondoes best. Big head much?Au contraire. Attention-seeking and prideful as they may be, once in love, these fire signs are fiercely loyal, passionate and will keep you on your toes with all their antics (dramatic or otherwise). But who will they share all that gustowith? Our lion friends know thattheirs is the greatest love of all (yep,Whitney Houstonwas a Leo) and they may be wondering他们最好的爸爸rtner would be. So, here’s our definitive Leo compatibility ranking, from worst to best.

Their reputation for beingdrama queensmay precede them, but Leos can't be reduced to tantrums and shenanigans. Like their fellow fire signs of Aries and Sagittarius, Leos want to bring light to everyone around them. They're one of the most generous signs in the zodiac and are very protective and territorial over their inner circle. Though they may come off as prideful and self-righteous, lions actually have big hearts and may put up a wall until they know you're trustworthy.

That said, they're staunch approval-seekers and revel in any and all the praise and appreciation that may come their way. Catch these lions showing up to acasual brunchdressed to the nines, at afancy spagetting the latest skin clarifying facial or chilling at home in a lux loungewear set, just because. It's the best of the best or nothing at all for our beloved Leos—especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Piscesare highly sensitive, withintuitionthat attunes them to the world and vibratory patterns we mere non-Piscean mortals can’t even see (no surprise if they identify asempaths). Leos, meanwhile, are very much rooted in reality and looking for someone to share it with. Picture the two of them, on the couch, after a long night of dreamy, half-conscious conversation. Leo is like, “This has been great, can we go outside now?” And Pisces is like, “Outside is a state of mind.” That’s a lot for a Leo to process.

WhileCancersappreciate a strong, dominant personality—especially one as dashing and charming as Leo—they need layers upon layers of emotional depth to feel like they can really trust a partner. Leos mean what they say and say what they mean, sometimes without the additional sensitivity check that a Cancer needs. They might start in a romantic place, but for these two to get past the honeymoon phase, it won't be as much about what they say but thetone.

Capricornsand Leos are both ambitious signs. But Leo is all, “If I stay true to myself, good things will fall into place,” and Capricorn is like, “Yeah, but we need a spreadsheet, five-year projections and you need to zip up that fly.” It really comes down to a conflict of managerial style: Leos are kings and Capricorns are presidents. But if Capricorns can remember that sometimes working hardmeansplaying hard, and if a Leo can appreciate the work ethic it takes to enjoy the accolades they rightfully deserve, these two alphas can come together.

Virgosmay tend to be moreintrovertedthan the zodiac’s lion, but as perfectionists, they will go the extra mile to show their partners how devoted they are. Meanwhile, Leos love being proud of their significant others (after all, they are a reflection of their own good taste), and while Virgos can be shy about self-promotion, Leos will shout to the heavens about how accomplished and brilliant and perfect and beautiful and supportive they are (and so on). Sure, Virgos may act all embarrassed by this flattery, but if they know it’s sincere, they secretly love it.

WhileAquariuscan be a little coolheaded for the effusive Leo, what they share is their passion for ideas. Both Aquarians and Leos arequiteopinionated,thankyouverymuch,他们tend to enjoy a spirited exchange of ideas—especially when it comes to politics. The danger is when they both know they are right (um, always), the battle of the egos can be epic. Luckily, Aquarians tend not to take things too personally, which will help them navigate their personal politics while they get on the same page about theiractual政治。如果他们能做到这一点,他们永远不会运行out of things to talk about—or stand for.

The glue that binds aLibraand a Leo together is good taste, honey. Together, theirlove languageis the finer things in life. That’s not just about spending a lot of money; it’s about indulging their natural appreciation for art, beauty and luxury. Whether it’s taking a cooking class together or nerding out about knowing every lyric inHamilton, there’s no corner of culture these two won’t devour together. And while Libras have a reputation for being indecisive (they can’t choose between the ravioli and the grilled salmon), Leos are happy to step up and steer the ship. (They know you really want the ravioli.)

They’re a headstrong duo, but they’re usually on the same wavelength. As fire signs,Ariesand Leo both favor grand displays of affection, and they respect the other’s go-getter approach to romance. Don’t expect 72 hours of vague texting before a second date is on the calendar or any “orbiting” with no real ending. Aries move fast when they like someone, and let’s just say Leos are not turned on by subtlety....

This is a bit of a bold pick, since zodiac compatibility is usually determined by element first (fire signs are always No. 1 for other fire signs, and so on). But do not sleep on the magic of the combination of air signGeminiand fire sign Leo. Geminis are adorable, flirty and intelligent. Plus, they don’t mind letting their partners take the lead. A Leo’s natural charisma and energy can hold the flighty twin’s gaze. These two are young at heart and adventurous, so expectdates that range fromexploring an abandoned amusement park to a night at the Met.
