Scorpio and Leo Love Compatibility
When you combine the solar fire of Leo with the enigmatic depths of Scorpio, you get the conventional definition of "power couple" turned completely on its head. Both of these signs are born to be the center of attention. They all have their own distinct distinctive style and outstanding levels of self-determination, strength, and boldness. Where they differ, however, is that Leo and Scorpio show their natural vitality in very different ways, specifically their volatility. Because both signs frequently feel singled out, they will both experience feelings of misunderstanding. While everyone handles loneliness differently, those terrible emotions of solitude may be what first brings them together.
Leo, ruled by the sun, is much more at ease in public, displaying authority in an outward manner. As the sign of the Lion, Leos have a naturally regal air about them, and like kings, they seek to claim what is theirs by right. When people fail to recognize that they have firmly held views and a distinct point of view, and that they ultimately exist to serve, Leo's pride is harmed. Scorpios, ruled by Mars (and, in contemporary astrology, Pluto), express their will in far more subtle and hidden ways. They know how to obtain what they want, but they don't see being direct and brash about it as wise or strategic. Being overly blatant is unpleasant for Scorpio. Others may be hesitant to approach the Scorpion, fearing that their piercing gaze and penetrating ability to see past people's facades may expose them too much.
Because Leo and Scorpio make a tense square on the zodiac wheel, they will recognize one other immediately. They will both elicit strong and probably even uncomfortable feelings for each other. However, given Leo's soft heart and desire to connect with everyone, and Scorpio's capacity to understand a person's deepest intentions, these two may overcome their outer differences and connect on a more fundamentally honest level.
As a couple, however, there may be ongoing power conflicts throughout the relationship, with both attempting to seize authority from the other. It can result in a confrontation of their obstinate egos, which they are both known for. However, like with other conflicts, if this pair can learn to channel their energy into sexual expression, it can result in a lot of heated passion. (As one could expect from water and fire dousing each other.) This will be exciting and thrilling, and because of their fixed sign, they will both be dedicated and loyal to each other once they make a commitment.
If these two can learn to respect their differences and combine their powers to attain whatever heights they desire, Leo and Scorpio can be a force of nature. This is a strong pairing. If the problems become too much for them to manage, this pair can escape becoming enemies if they both reasonably decide they'd rather remain friends.
