Leo and Scorpio: an overview

Leo and Scorpio bring together fire and water energy. Fire and water are a study in contrasts: passion meets sensitivity. Handled carelessly, fire scorches and water drowns. Handled with care, water gives fire depth and fire gives water warmth and courage. Leo is confident and generous, while Scorpio is intense and passionate, and that contrast is exactly where both the attraction and the work live.

Love & romance

Romantically, the Leo need for confident meets the Scorpio gift for intense. Honour both and affection deepens naturally.

Communication & emotional style

You are both fixed signs, loyal, determined and gloriously stubborn. Once committed you are rock-solid, but neither bends easily, so learning to yield is the whole lesson here.
