Why is Leo attracted to Aquarius?

A Leo woman asks:

Is it possible to have a relationship with someone with a heavy Aquarian emphasis in his chart or is it a lost cause? I have no planets in Aquarius at all but I seem to be attracted to them for reasons that I can’t fathom. Maybe it’s that Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Libra? I don’t know. Is it bc I’m a Leo Sun? I don’t know but either way, that’s my question.

Zodiac opposites attract for a good reason. Each axis contains two complementary signs that really can’t function without the other.

Aries – LibraMe – You
Taurus – ScorpioMy Money – Our Money
Gemini – SagittariusFacts – Theories
Cancer – CapricornHome – Work
Leo – AquariusPerformer – Audience (or Individual – Group)
Virgo – PiscesOrganized Ritual – Mystical Letting Go

Leo needs a detached viewer to objectively critique her performance. Who else but Aquarius can do that? (I said critique, not criticize, Virgo!)

Your attraction is due to your Leo Sun, not your Uranus-Jupiter conjunction in Libra. This conjunction can last nearly a year — it’s not specific to Leos — and concerns your need to experience expansion, meaning, revolution and independence in relationships.

In your chart, Saturn — the ruler of your 7th House of Partnership (with Capricorn on the cusp) — is in your 11th House of Friends and Groups. The 11th House has a natural affinity with Aquarius. This area of your life is bound with your partnership needs; for example, you might find a future husband in a humanitarian group with which you are involved. And who is more likely to spend time in these endeavors than Aquarians? Hence, this is another factor in your chart that may explain your attraction to the sign of the Water Bearer.

Is someone with a heavy Aquarian emphasis a lost cause? Not necessarily — you just need to give him lots of independence and not expect much in the way of emotional availability.

    What about Leo rising?

  8. Leo Rising has Aquarius on the descendant, or 7th house of partnership, so you’re very likely to be drawn to Aquarians.

    Can a leo and a aquarius really have a functioning realtionship were both are happy?

  10. passionate_aquarius says:

    Do you think a sexual realtionship would actually work out if the male sun sign is leo and female is aquarius but both the moons are in virgo? I can’t decide whether because we’re so similar we would be incredible lovers or whether we would just be best friends.

    passionate_aquarius,

    I think that one is a double edged sword. Leo and Aquarius (Sun signs) are polar opposites. Leos like the attention and an audience….Aquarians focus on themselves and THEN someone else…as far as awesomeness I guess. Virgo moon…the subconscious…is orderly and analytical…and yes needs to run everything through a filter. I think if you two have open communication then it will work out smoothly…also take turns on who is in the spotlight.

    I am a female Aquarius and the men I am crazy about is Leo. We don’t date and didn’t have anything yet (due to the circumstances that we deal with; we work close…). I am so crazy about him, and I know from his words that he wants me the same, but I am terrified to make a move. :( ( Are we compatible??? I am in Ox year, his in Rat year. Please advise.
