Yesterday while talking about astrology, a friend of mine said "Scorpios are basically just evil Leos." ^^; Is this true? What personality traits do Scorpios and Leos have in common?IP: Logged |

If you're just talking Sun signs, Leo and Scorpio are VERY different. One is Fire the other is water, plus they are squared signs.------------------ Gemini Sun Libra Moon Gemini Mercury Cancer Venus Virgo Mars Virgo Asc And yes, I'm a guy! IP: Logged |

Both have big egos Both are possessive Both find it hard to admit to mistakes Both are very stubbornHowever Leo's are happy go lucky, affectionate and don't like games (more straight up) Scorpios are more intense, tends toward game playing and are more deep. IP: Logged |

They have some (few!) things in common in virtue of being fixed signs - like: loyalty, persistence, being possessive, stubborn.. etc. They are also pretty political and strongly focused on interpersonal relationships... since they are both social signs. Aside from this ^ - as GemSquared was saying, they are actually very very different signs!! IP: Logged |

Scorpios like their space and hate it when people pry. Leos love attention, and being asked about, they dont mind spotlight...Married to a Leo, and had been with a Scorpio for a few years back. My Scorpio Ex couldnt stand when people took too much notice of him, he loved his privacy, was also controlling when it came to where I was, what I was doing, etc. My Leo Hubby loves when people notice him and want to know about him, he loves for me to dote on him, and he isnt controlling about what I do.

I don't think they're that different. They might have different senses of humor, and different dispositions, however... they both like having control, having the upper-hand, and I'm sorry but a lot of Leos do like playing games. They both like the chase what with Scorpio co-ruling Mars and Leo being ruled by the Sun (although I think the Sun prefers to be the one being chased vs. running after someone). They are both secretly insecure signs in my opinion. They both have a flare for psychosis and drama, paranoia...and they are both magnetic signs. You can't help but be drawn to them. They are also insightful. Not all their similarities are negative, but I'm just one person who ran into some bad apples.IP: Logged |

Leos that like game playing are usually heavy with water imo. If they're more firey and have earth, they're less prone to that bs lol.IP: Logged |

Both tend to be magnetic and very ego centric, but Scorpios tend to be driven by darker impulses like cynicism, vanity and competitiveness wereas Leos tend to just want to be showered with attention, love, and admiration.IP: Logged |

A different sort, a Scorpio could not give a hot damn what someone else thinks of them unless they secretly respects them, a Leo lives to be admired by everyone just for being themselves. IP: Logged |

Thanks, my chart has both prominantly displayed but have had close friends from both sun signs and noticed this about them. Leo Moon and Scorpitarius Interestingly enough, only Libras and Virgos w/a few Taureans in my romantic life..funny world sometimes. IP: Logged |

Yep, does not surprise me, unless a Scorpio can transcend and grow we tend to become ever darker and more cynical, time does not mellow us naturally. Leos are like big lovable goofs that can be Noble and Fun Loving and just a very different vibe from a Scorp IP: Logged |

Most of the Scorpios I have known have been stellar people, unfortunately the Scorpio I was with was on the low end of the totem pole. There are plenty of great Phoenixs out there though.There are three types of Scorpio, depends on which one seems closer to Leo traits. But definitely not the lower end one lol. IP: Logged |

Heh heh. This is my experience: Leos love attention, flattery will get you THEIR attention, are generally "a ball of sunshine", are much more open about their lifestyle, and they are very dramatic if you wound their ego. As a fire sign, they're a bit more expressive with their affections. They trust until you give them a reason not to trust. Scorpios tend to be more secretive, want to work behind the scenes in order to figure you out (but never mind trying to figure THEM out), like their space, and they PLOT their revenge rather than scream at you. Scorpios will test you to figure out if you're trustworthy. What they have in common, I've noticed, is their strong sense of pride and will power. Both are willing to battle to the death if they have to (Leos will do it to show how "awesome" they think they are; Scorpios will do it to show that they are in control). I have a mix of all those characteristics. Tends to confuse people since they can't really predict how I'll behave.

Here's what I don't get... all these people talk about Scorpio's revenge. I've never seen my friend take revenge out on anyone. (Or my other Scorpio friends) Sometimes she'll **** me off, but when that happens she's usually ****** off at me too and we get really quiet with each other for a few moments, both of us trying not to scream at each other. However that's it. If I've ever been the recipient of something I've never known it. IP: Logged |

They have some similarities but it's cause they're both fixed signs.Other than that they're like day (Leo) and night (Scorpio). Others have pretty much nailed it. Scorpio in its purest form, wants to dig deep and isn't afraid of darkness and human less-than-pretty side. They work behind the scenes, don't usually reveal their motives and are more private and introverted. They can aslo be prone to manipulation and secrecy. Leo on the other hand, likes good things, always strives to be optimistic (they can get down but that's not their natural state). They love drama, attention, talking about themselves/others talking about them. They fundamentally believe that they're good people and that life owes them more than what they have, and that other people should notice how great they are. sidenote: the Scorpio revenge thing is a myth. Most of the time, Scorps don't take revenge cause they actually don't give a cr@p or simply consider themselves above it. Some of them believe in karma so they just let things be, knowing (or secretely wishing) that the person who hurt them will eventually pay for it.

I am a Scorpio with Leo rising whilst my partner is Leo with Scorpio rising. He doesn't appear to crave attention at all, unless the Scorpio demeanour hides an attention craving person.I, on the other hand, simply expect to be noticed and think I am special. How's that for a Scorpio/Leo fusion! I wonder at people who are happy to remain quiet when in a group.
