Hi everyone

One of my girlfriends, a Scorp, just got into a relationship w/ a Leo and asked me for advice: I've dated several Leos in long-term relationships...however all have failed so I don't know how much of an authority I would be on having successful relationships w/ a Leo. lol

I was wondering if anyone w/ a bit more experience w/ Leos or Astro knowledge would care to provide a bit of insight that I can pass on? Like the "Dos" and "Donts" of dating Leos?

Thanks!

I second AJ!

Two fixed signs together. If they give and take, compromise... would work. Defiantely a showy pair! (IMHO)

Yes, Leos.

Most important thing to remember..

Worship them.

I am serious.

I am a Scorp Asc, which doesnt necessarily mean I am any kind of expert, but I had a 7 year relationship with a Leo.

Can we say DRAMA???

Sure, it can work. Any combination can work.
Leos rock, but let me tell you... if a hot girl waves a hefty billfold downwind of one, he may get... distracted.

Scorps tend to be possessive, so that I can see (and definitely have experienced) that being an issue.

Leos are loyal once they are committed. If you are "the one" for a certain Leo, they wont go anywhere. (i am the one who left my Leo.) But yes, he will look. Scorps have to chill on the jealousy a bit.

Wish your friend luck for me!!!

In my experience w/ Leos, the biggest downfall was them not being able to get past their egos, and me not being aware enough of the significance of their egos on their ability to be happy, so I would shred their ego inadvertantly, and they would swipe back, and it would just get ugly. Plus we're both bossy and stubborn.

My Scorp friend is a bit less intense than I however, and she tends to, when emotional, be better able to step outside her own feelings, so I'm thinking, at least they have a better chance at it.

Thanks for the info everyone

Hey Isis,

I'm so tempted to reply to this post (I did date a Leo once upon a time) but I have a feeling it's gona turn into dissing leo guys so I'll just say this much.. The Scorp- Leo combo is always intense, I'm sure they'll have a lot of fun in the bedroom. That being said, I don't think it lasts usually. It can last if they have a Sun/Moon conjunction or lots of Saturn aspects maybe.

My first boyfriend was a Leo with a Scorpio moon. We were together for a year and a half. I'm a Sag with a Scorpio moon and Leo rising. Our relationship had alot of competion in it.. intellectual mostly. He really didn't like it when I knew answers to things he didn't and I don't like to back down or pretend I'm something less than I really am so I bruised his ego alot I think. I don't think that was good for his self-esteem.. we often times had a sister/brother sort of interaction happening were he would treat me like a sister by always wanting to wrestle with me and I'd treat him like my brother by teasing him or showing off things I could do better- like kicking his butt at video games..

Neither one of was really knew what we were doing as far as being in a relationship since we weren't even out of high school for most of it and it was the first for both of us; so my insights aren't as fresh or deep as they could be..

We broke up (both times) because of other women. The first time we were juniors in high school.. had only been dating six months and he said he needed to not be so exclusive since he was so 'young' and all. Our love was deep and intense and it freaked him out I think- like imagining us married and stuff.. I spent waaaay too much time at his house.. So then, next week he started dating my best friend. Three months later he begs for me back and my lovesick self returned to him.
A year later, first semester of college, he cheats on me and then tells me.. the next day I think..and that was it. A few months later he came crawling back begging for me but I was done. My Scorpio moon had closed up shop for him. It helped that I started seeing all those other fish in the sea there at college... including the scrumptious Scorpio I'm engaged to now..only that didn't come to fruition until five years later.. but that's another story.

So I dunno if I have any pat suggestions other than let the Leo win the video game maybe?

Whoa.
Intense.
Leo and Scorpio? They get each other, even though they are squared.... it is an intrinsic connection, a very firey and powerful and deep one.. nothing just surface.. except maybe the ego stroking.. but that is part and parce of both signs. Leo knows Scorpio has a deep ego, no defense necessary, and Scorpio knows Leo's need to hear it, and Scorpio's ar water, after all, filling the container they are in. Leo's container can be filled to the brim with Scorpios intense devotion and closeness. They have lessons to learn from one another, but depending on the charts, whoa. This is one incredible connection.... Based on true pride and all the right things to each of them.
Of course, I have Leo rising and a bunch of fire in my chart, including Sag Venus.. so It could just be me?!

Ahhhh Scorpio/ Leo combo, I know this all to well.

I am a leo and seem to be a scorpio magnet. INTENSE can be an understatement. Both are signs are Passionate and proud.

Sex is great for a while at least. Fights are HUGE. Hard to say sorry when both are pointing their "guns" at each other. Neither of us wanted to be wrong.

I always find Scorpios a bit too jealous and possesive for my free-wheeling ways.

Always accusing me of flirting and leading people on when i was just being friendly ..."Honey, i was just telling the waiter thank you." Would accuse me of doing this with women too.

Maybe it is just a leo thing, wanting everyone to fall in love with you which is a problem for most scorpios.

One of my greatest friends was a Triple Scorpio we could talk without ever saying a word. I always thought we were verbally talking until i would respond to one of his "comments" out loud and everyone in the group wouldn't know what i was talking about because nothing was ever being said out loud. Weird.

Good Luck to you!

What are your moon signs and Asc?

Ok, I am a female Leo and Id like to say there is a HUGE difference between a male leo and a female leo.

My brother in law is a leo and I have also had relationships with other leo males. Observing my brother in law, he has been with his girlfriend for 5 years and he is literally obsessed with her. If she leaves his side for even a little while he calls her every 5 minutes. I think that leo males are very possessive and think whats theirs is theirs. Also what Ive noticed about the leo males Ive run across, they think they are Gods gift to mankind...lol (Im sorry if Ive offended any leo males, I know not ALL leo males are like this)

So definatly your friend needs to give him a lot of attention and praise, compliment him on how he looks. Im sure as everyone else has said both fixed signs, they will both love the drama that they create for eachother.

Leo and Scorpio? Sparkly combination... Iīm afraid there will be bruised egos and loads of misunderstandings... Sex is bound to be great but that is about it...

Leos need to be reminded how superior and wonderful they are... But Scorpios know they are better... And donīt give a hook about eeny-weeny inflated egos...

And then there is the jealousy problem... Scorps donīt understand why Leos need to flirt with anything that moves, why they need to feel that anyone could fall in love with them... Leos wonīt swallow easily how succesful Scorps are with the opposite sex...

Itīs a constant power struggle with not much common ground...

I used to know a Leo-Scorpio couple... And it ended up quite badly after years of pain,intolerance and misunderstanding...

Itīs not worth it... Water and fire, especially being both fixed, are simply incompatible...

My advice to your friend... Run if you can.

I'm a Leo and tend to be a Scorpio magnet too! My bestest friend is a Scorpio (oh how I love her even though she's so secretive at times).
I'm not demanding or bossy !
Wanting everyone to fall in love with me?
How can they not? Aren't all of you in love with me?

I've had 3 Scorpio lovers in my life. Two of them turned into pseudo stalkers and one I still talk to. Jealous? Heck yeah! But us Leos kinda like it a lil bit. Intense is the word to describe this combo.

Steelrose, I am afraid I must disagree.. depending on other chart aspects especially, I think water/fire is a great combination. A powerful one. I'll take a powerful relationship over a small, safe daliance anyday...
I know it isn't a traditional view of elements and astrology.. but I happen to dig the combination.. I wouldn't run, unless he was running after her!

Of the four serious long term relationships I've had, incl. my marriage, two were with Leos (one AQ and hubby is a Taurus). I know what you Leo's mean when you say you attract Scorps, because I have always had a weakness for Leos. I've dated several in addition to having long term relationships w/ a few, and I actually swore off them after the last Leo relationship because of the intensity - the highs are ecstatic, but the lows are devastating. Reminds me a bit of Bi-Polar disorder actually. But I do find that though my Taurus is solid and we bypass the extreme highs and lows, I miss the feeling of being alive that the intensity brings (five Scorp planets and a Cancer ASC, now how on earth would a girl like me be attracted to intensity?)

I've never had real jealousy issues w/ Leos, not from my position anyway, but I have experienced the posessiveness of Leos. I've never, to my knowledge anyway, been cheated on by a Leo either, although I have heard their penchant for cheating is legendary (because two or three adoring fans are better than one?).

I told her to get ready for a roller coaster ride that will forever change her. That's all I could really come up with. I was really trying not to be negative, because fundamentally I agree w/ Pixie's take on this one, even if I personally have had bad experiences with them (and oh so very good ones too ).

Thanks again for the info everyone!

If one has Venus in Leo and the other has many planets in Scorpio, it's additionally tough. I think Venus in Leo is toughest on Scorpio Moons, and Ascendants. They are just so stubborn, on the jealousy thing.

And both are jealous, but it's so misunderstood. There has to be constant communication, and living with each other would help. Distance just makes it worse. Some couples were meant to be together much more. I tend to think both Scorpios and Leos want full time coupledom, but Leos want/need it more.

But man, my Scorpio Ascendant and 8th house moon really butts up to that Leo Venus. It's rough sometimes even with the Moon in the 8th, two stubborn. Scorpios imagine things..you can see the problem, and to the Scorpio these things can be real, if they are not corrected. Leos do not like being bossed around, or asked questions.

Hi Miss Apples,

"HUGE difference between a male leo and a female leo"

sooo true...

"the leo males Ive run across, they think they are Gods gift to mankind"

so glad someone else has noticed that. I have met 2 leos who weren't like that. My conclusion is male Leo's who have had it easy their whole lives act THAT way, whereas male Leo's who've had probs and difficulties and familly probs (basically leos who didn't always have everything handed to them on a silver..golden I should say, platter) are a lot deeper and a lot less shallow.

I must disagree. I think that any combination of signs can make it if both partners are willing to work hard to understand eachother.

And I thought us Leos were conceited "But Scorpios know they are better" and "Leos wonīt swallow easily how succesful Scorps are with the opposite sex..." GEEZ! If Scorps really think about it like that then they are no better than us Leos!

Ares_chick, that explains a lot. My Leo brother in law has had everything handed to him on a golden platter, and he acts like it too.

I think the reason why Leos and Scorps are so attracted to eachother is because they both are fixed. Ive attracted plenty of Aquarians in my life also. I have attracted Tauruses also but not in romantic situations.

Leo - Scorpio....ah, geez....

This is a combination that I personally have never been able to take further than friendship or co-worker. The reason? I think Leo doesn't get the kind of adoration from Scorpio that they require to feel secure - and Scorpio eventually realizes that this is one cat who they cannot emotionally control. Sure, Leo will oblige Scorpio and let them have their way when it doesn't matter that much to them. They are pragmatic that way...but when push comes to shove and it really does matter to the Leo, they won't budge. And the way the two see a given situation is often quite different. Scorpio always has their guard up, and will not allow themselves to be left vulnerable, while Leo..figures "Hey, what's the worst that could happen? I'd be wrong? I'd be deceived? Not likely cuz who would want to displease me? I'll take the chance. I'll recover if that happens" Scorpio says "Anyone will decieve you if given the chance. Don't leave yourself open and you'll be ok". They don't recover very easily if their trust is betrayed, so they have to be more careful.

Scorpio never lets the guard down, even when they love someone. This irks Leo. It irks them that they can never fully win the Scorpio's trust. Because the Scorpio never feels like they can totally control the responses of the Leo. Leo is bursting with their own creative personality, and Scorpio will only try for a while to streamline that into their own agenda.

Leo can never get the kind of adoration that they need from a Scorpio. Scorpio never misses an opportunity to demonstrate how insignificant Leo is in the grand scheme of things. Leo begs to differ.

Both signs tend to suffer from a superiority complex, although Leo really believes it while Scorpio just wants others to think so, in order to get cooperation out of them.

These two signs have a hard time getting what they need out of each other, so it often falls flat after the sex-glow has gone out.

The sexual chemistry between squared signs is legendary, and not just limited to fixed signs. In this case, both signs tend to have very high libidos, so that aspect becomes front and center when people discuss this pairing.

I think these two signs want the same things, and they tend to operate in a simualar fashion, but they have very different motivations, and that's what causes their undoing.

I think, between the two, Scorpios' motivations are more transcendental in terms of relationship, while Leo's motivation tend to be more about defining theirselves.

Both tend to end up disappointed. Fun for a while, but not likely to last forever, unless other astro-facters bind them.

Wow lots o' opinions on this one.

I agree Leo men are much different than Leo women. But i don't get all this conceit stuff that Leos get railed about. maybe it is my Sun Sq. neptune and Sun Sq. saturn but i frankly don't see it.

My biggest issue with any of the Scorpio men i have been involved with is the wanting to possess you totally and squeeze the breath out of you with it, hoping then that they become your life support system. Will mention that most scorpios i have been involved with are scopio moon and scorpio sun. so at least a double scorp. thing happening. I can honestly admit the deep, philosophical conversations are second to none and certainly lots of respect there too. The last scorpio i dated was serious and did want to get married but i couldn't live in a household with all that chaos. I also beleive scopio men take a little longer to come into their own as far as self confidence.

Sorry to blab on... but was just thinking today on my past relationships and that i kinda like being with someone that is not as emotional as i-(5 water placements) nice to be with someone that lends stability to my sensitive side.

Really, best o' luck to ya with your leo man!

WOW!!! Lioneye... That interpretation is just wonderful...

Maybe itīs what I wanted to say but I didnīt know how to put it...

That exactly matches my experience with the matter... Iīm a Virgo but I was too close for confort to one of this pairings...
