Leo compatibility with every sign
Leo with each of the twelve signs, by two rules: temperament from the elements and everyday pace from the modes. Pick a pair for what the two signs tend to bring each other.
Leo loves generously and wants to be seen doing it. It looks for warmth, admiration and a partner who is proud to be standing next to it. What it brings is loyalty, fun and a talent for making people feel like the most important person in the room. What it finds hard is being ignored or taken for granted. Leo does best with people who are happy to give praise freely and who have enough confidence of their own not to feel outshone.
By these rules, its closest matches are Sagittarius, Aries and Gemini, and its hardest is Scorpio.

How does Leo show love?
Leo loves in colour. Courtship has gestures: flowers that arrive for no reason, a table booked at the good restaurant, a toast to you in front of friends. You tend to be generous with time, money and praise, and a Leo in love wants to make its partner feel like the most important person in the room. It also wants to be seen doing so. Warmth, loyalty and a flair for celebration are the sign's gifts.
What does Leo need from a partner?
