Are Leo and Aquarius compatible?
June 13, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
Signs that are opposite in the zodiac are naturally attracted to each other, because they balance each other out. The attention-seeking, generous and warm Leo is kept in check by Aquarius, the detached observer who offers his or her critique of Leo’s performance with little regard for the lion’s pride. Friendly but cool Aquarius is drawn to the fire and splendor of the king or queen of the zodiac. However, oppositions also imply friction. Leo’s over-the-top displays of affection can be a wee too much for the water bearer, while the Aquarian’s intellectual immersion in the sciences boggles the lion, who just wants to go out and play.
You were born during a Full Moon with your Moon in Aquarius, so this conflict between Leo and Aquarius should be familiar to you. Your own emotional detachment contradicts your solar magnificence. However, in synastry — or chart comparison — your Moon in the same sign as your Aquarian love interest’s Sun bodes well for compatibility. In addition, your Sun is in the Eleventh House of Friends, Groups and Humanitarian Causes, which is naturally associated with Aquarius. Although you will always feel the tension between these signs in your own life, an Aquarian would suit you well.

Yes,I know a pair of Leo and Aquarius.
I’ve met married couples that are these signs, too.
The young couple that I’m thinking of though, are very different personalities, (very) but, they seem to still love one another very much.
She’s fiery(no surprise), and very intuitive, and he’s logical and quiet.
I thought they might break up at one point, the way things wre going, but recently they got engaged.
In their particular case I think the committment is scary for both and bringing up new issues.
But, it’s of course also bringing them together.
They both need their space at times, but not in the same way.(:-)also no surprise!)
I hope they do stay together, I really like them both and I’m rooting for them!
I thought I would post in the forum about Leo and Aquarius compatibility. I’m an aquarian female who has a great connection, and good relationship with a Leo guy!
There definately can be strong compatibility between the signs.
We hit it off instantly when we met, and realized quickly that our families and lives were very similar while we were growing up.
I was so surprised when he told me had has a German Shorthaired Pointer as do I, and it was both of our favorite breed before we knew each other.
The sexual chemistry is off the charts, and we seem to understand each other on a level beyond words at times. He is very much the cuddler, and loves to be physical, and it’s great! I feel a level of peace or calmness with him when we’re together.
I’ve never dated a leo before, and before my Leo man, I was in a relationship with a Virgo for 12 years, and the connection with the Leo is more instense on many levels compared to the Virgo.
The one problem for us is he has a Mercury retrograde in Leo, and he is always considering the other options out there in life. We have been together for 10 months, but have seperated on occasion, which has been his decision. For whatever reason, I’m the one with the deeper feelings, which is strange since I’m the aquarian, and is supposed to be more detached. He tends to be distant when he goes through periods of being insecure about my faithfullness to the relationship. As an aquarian, I am independant, and sometimes he has a problem with that.
All though, I have to say, making up and reuniting makes it all worth it.
My Leo & Aquarius story…
I’m an Aquarius woman, currently dating a Leo man. I met him before knowing he was a Leo, and it was my intention to just have a fling -nothing demanding,just fun. The sexual attraction was/is intense. He told me almost straight away that he wanted more, which I was willing to consider but it meant I had to er.. We both had to see if we “vibed” which, we did. Something about him disarmed me -he put me at ease. Normally with a guy I have umteen mental blocks up, I’m analyzing, critiquing him (in my mind) and if he doesn’t measure up, I’ll probably keep him on my list of friends/acquaintances… but I wouldn’t come out and say I’m totally not interested, b/c I like to keep options open? I know that’s bad but – hey.
So anyway, this Leo guy, who is my opposite in more than just the zodiac ( i.e. im black he’s white, im 9 yrs older than him too… haha,lucky me), made an impression on me when he seemed to open up right off the bat. He volunteered so much info about himself and his life, all very impressive… and the ultimate, most important, was his level of intellect. I remember throwing something out about history, it was just a comment, and I half expected him to give me an odd or clueless look, which I often get, even from guys in my own age bracket… and I was quite pleased when he added to it, and actually told me some things I did not know! I love his brain! He wore this constant smile – which honestly I found myself laughing at b/c it just wouldn’t quit? Seriously – he told me about something troubling that happened in his life? WHILE SMILING! I noticed when I shared something wi him that was sad… the smile was faint, but it was there. This tickled me.. I don’t know why. Also the compliments he gave were more sexy than sugary… so that was a huge plus. I was finding he could match my intellect… I was worried about it because of the age difference – but he’s well educated (excuuse me!) So like I said, he totally disarmed me… he enticed me down from my tower to sit face to face with him… so I wasn’t off in my mind somewhere observing the meeting. I found myself really enjoying that time we spent together. I was surprised at myself… something in my head was protesting, but I FELT so good… lol and this was just at dinner.
Anyhoo long story short, all of the above made for a strong sexual connection, I know, but still I wasn’t sure about the “more” that he wanted. When we are together, we are very close, I don’t mind the cuddling and constant displays of affection, I return them… I can’t help it, he’s just very sweet and considerate when I’m with him so it makes me want to respond in kind. When we aren’t together… I’d say maybe 3 days can go by w/o us seeing each other, save for the occassional 5 or 10 minute phone-call, its never over done. I’m perfectly content with that… When he told me that he wanted to relocate to be closer to me to cut down on the 3 days of not seeing me, and that he was falling in love with me. I felt the same, but I didn’t admit it to him when I felt it because I wasn’t certain if it was something I should feel at that point in the relationship. I do know and have been told that sometimes people perceive me as cold & unfeeling… this has always bothered me b/c I consider myself a highly sensitive person… its kind of like how a lake has a still surface, but underneath there is life & death triumph & tragedy… in fact putting up the mental blocks and viewing everything from inside my mind sort of protects me from feeling too much, because if I do I can be consumed by it. PPL can wreak havoc when you let them too close. I explained that to him though, and also told him that I am trying to make sure that I let him feel the intensity of my affections rather than toning them way down. It’s kind of difficult for me tho b/c I keep thinking I should repress them, but he wants that. He told me I make him happy when I show him affection. What’s a girl to do? We are currently a couple, and I have admitted to loving him too. What I appreciate about him are his strengths – everything he is really good at, is something that I’m either not good at, or that I‘ve neglected… I get to enjoy a different side of myself with him? If that makes sense. And that’s not even mentioning the umpteen other things we have in common. He told me he thinks the same thing, but I’m not sure what his weaknesses are? I haven’t detected them yet. I started to ask but we wound up kissing. Haha… Pass or fail, this time, right now, will make very sweet memories.
Thanks for letting me share. I just wanted to because I think ppl should know the potential awesomeness that can come from a leo/aquarius combo.. This is the 5th Leo I’ve ever dated… and the 3rd I’ve actually been a couple with. What sets him apart from the other two is that he is more mature, and focused. He’s progressive.
i am a aquarius woman engaged to leo man we have 3 kids together and still at times we have disagreements about certain things because he’s more of a show case and i’m a laid back person he has always been a show off and that is were our problems come in at, but he is a very compassionate person so we fight and afterwards the love making is off the meter i don’t no why out of all the men i have been with i can’t walk away from him.something about the way we click does something to me.we are always complimenting each other something i had to learn to do cause i wasen’t up for makin him feel like a king he wants to be but i love him and that is something i have to say i broke up with him for five years and he came back on his hands a knees now we are about to be married and i can’t wait to start livin my life as his wife i already has his kids so this should be a piece of cake. he’s like a breath of fresh air.
Hi I am an Aquarius in love with a Leo man that I used to know when I was younger. He was the one that liked me when we were 18, but due to a lie someone else told me and some other circumstances we stopped dating And being friends. I finally got back in touch with him and now I’m the one who seems to have the stronger feelings. Generally the only way I can seem to get him to talk is to ask about him and his interests, talk about sex or Ignore him and it’s frustrating. My birthday is 2/2/1987 in Frankfurt am main, Germany at 4:05 AM. He was born 8/20/1987 I know for sure that his moon is in Cancer and his Venus is in Leo. I really need help on trying to figure him out and what I should do so that he knows how much I care. Thanks for advice in advance!

I’m am an Aquarius woman that has been with a Leo man. We met very young, and seemed to have absolutely everything in common. Favorite colors, music, movies, interests, hobbies, friends, alike even down to our heritage (Italian & Native American), and he was my first love & high school sweetheart.
That relationship was a very hard one to sustain, though while we were and still are very different in temperament, it was always the normal teenage things that got in the way.
We’ve stayed friends over the years, and try to get together again, but outside circumstances have yet to allow it.
But it seems that in some way, shape or form him and I are always going to be together, and we share a love that is indestructable and eternal. Neither one of us has yet met another person that has made us as happy as each other.
In the relationship, I’m the crazy fun one, and he’s the steady responsible one. I drag him out for good times, and he brings me back down to reality when I need it.
It’s a good balance

Hi,I am an Aquarian who has know this Leo for a little over 2 years now and we have just started going out. We connected on day 3 of his joining my work place with me being his senior. It was something beautiful – we connected on the spiritual lavel with both of us belonging to the sam ereligion… as time went by we realised (and other’s pointed it out blatantly) that we look like a couple, though we were’nt. He was seeing someone else. We have, amazingly of course, the same tase in music, sports, worship and food. Feels like twins. Words are not required to fill the silence.
We understand each other on a different plane altogether and do not let Ego come in between us. I feel at peace with him and feel younger and happier. When we go home together, it feels like HOME. Discussions are terrific.
He has already asked me to marry him, however we are giving it more time.
At times you get the efeling that something is meant to be – well This is one of them.
It’s finally the Lord’s will!! Praise God!
I am a Aquarian and met a Leo woman through a chat line. We hit it off only after a few weeks of ignoring each other. When we eventually started to chat we discovered an intense connection, same tastes religion family life wow it was amazin. she is 25 years youger than me.
We became addicted to each other and chatted every evening for about 4 hours at a time.
Things progressed and we started getting close to the L word. she came to Johannesburg from Port Elizabeth to meet me and we spent a glorious 7 days together. everything was perfect and clicked as we knew it would. she is the Greatest. I called her princess.We hope to tie the knot soon. Both going through a divorce now.
I’m a Leo girl head over heels in love with an Aquarian man and I couldn’t be happier. At first the relationship was strained–so strained, we broke it off for a month or so–because I couldn’t handle his detachedness and my fiery spirit was a bit overwhelming for him. But once we were apart for that short time we realized we needed each other to balance out. I needed him to ground me and keep my emotions in check and he needed me to loosen up and just be goofy sometimes. Once I just accepted that No, he will never be quite as cuddly as I am, and once he realized that I will always be a little quick to fly off the handle, we’ve been perfect ever since. I can’t remember life before my water-bearer.
im a leo girl n iv bin with an aquarius guy for over a year now….it first started wen i was with my previous boyfriend and at first i thought it would be a harmless fling but from the first day that we went out together iv bin attracted to him n hav bin fiercely faithful to him eva since then. like the airy aquarian hes aloof and sometimes detached bt at times hes so loving and has never hesitated to display his affection. at first he was closed and afraid to share his innermost thoughts bt now i guess he tries to explain wats going on inside his head. hes kinda intimidated by my independence, career-success and the fact that i do just what i set my mind on doing. and sometimes i get irritated cox i feel that he takes more than his shares of worries about the world and humanity. nevertheless, we are very much in love and very honest and loyal to each other. i believe that our relationship is as exciting to him as much to me both spiritually and physically. working out all the minor problems somehow makes us closer and i have no intention of leaving him for anyone else.
I’m an aquarius woman in love with a leo guy. It has been more than once proved that leos have a certain influence on aqaurius women. One conflict which may arise in this relationship is that aquarius will always speak his mind, nevermind the consequences, while leo is more prudent in these matters as he is in love. Rarely you’ll get the king of the jungle saying “i love you” but if he indeed is in love with you, he’ll show you anytime without uttering the words.Unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to all the small things a leo used to do for me. I’ve been in a relationship with a leo for three years, it all started as friends, then started getting intimate, though i still regarded him as a friend with who usually i have fun. All fell apart when i decided to date someone seriously. My leo guy was awestricken, so he decided to cut off all sort of communication with me. Not having him around was a huge blow for me, one year I tried to get in touch with him, until he finally came back. We are just playing safe now, I don’t have too many details about how this relationship has evolved after the separation. But I’ll keep you updated. And yes it’s true, being an Aquarius I love to be surrounded by friends and most of the time I’d give up a cosy quiet evening with the person I love for a night out with my friends, but that doesn’t mean the person I love is not important for me, means the opposite, knowing that the person I love allows me freedom and has faith me, makes me feel secure and loved. We try not to get too atached to people, or settle down to easy, because we are always one step ahead, and we are afraid that a person will limit our outgoings. My advice for a leo guy and an aquarius woman is respect and understanding.Avoid all the cliches like “i love you”, “you mean the world to me”, get more practical, buy some things both signs are interested in, tickets to a sign’s favourite band, and last but not the least good quality food, as both signs eats for pleasure.
Hi,
A few weeks ago I met Leo man, we met online, so – knew he’s a Leo before we met and also, being reading on Astrology I remembered this is a “love-hate” combination. I am Aquarius and very direct when it comes down to feelings. On our first date something happened, something that never have happened to me before! I am usually the one talking, “figuring” male out, finding myself bored by the things he is talking about and truly not matching, but here, oh WOW I was actually the one with jaw dropped or smiling and couldn’t even find the right words at the time. Here is a funny thing: he seemed so into me, we would talk for hours on the phone and now his texts are plain and at times are about nothing, when I call him he is not so interested in conversation or has a hard time figuring out what to talk about. When I ask him if he lost interest he assures that no, he still is very interested- but his coolness is driving me crazy!!!!! I thought I am the one who was cool! So I dunno what to do now, it is still early and I simply could walk away, but I strangely find myself not wishing that, I wanna see him again, I want to get to know him…. Any advice would be appreciated.
Wow Cyber Cat this could just about be me. I’ve gone out with several Aquarians and just met another recently (fingers firmly crossed). I’ve actually done the same thing that you described your man doing (with aquarians…hmmm). I may still be interested in a woman, but I’m not all that interested in funneling it into chats and text. I can chat with my woman and still feel lonely. A Leo needs to be experienced to be appreciated. I can tell you this: When your man cools down like that is the time for physical presence–drop by, invite him over, go out for coffee, etc.. I know for me that I perk up when my woman is with me and when I’m in stimulating surroundings, but if I return to the lair then all the grand leo spectacle is turned to the what’s in front of me–fixing dinner, etc. They always say Leo likes an audience and I guess this is really what it’s about. With an audience (you) the full majesty (hell yeah) of the Leo comes out. Without it, why bother? Hope this helps, got a weight off my shoulders, anyway.
Well few days ago just an hour before our date he texted me that he is not ready to date and after hours and a day of texts he just offered “friendship with benefits”! Strangely I knew this is what would happen!!!! Gut feeling! And strangely I feel heartbroken! Even though I only knew him a week!!!

Hello.
I’m new there
Nice forum!
I dated a leo male for 3 years and he has not changed. He is very hard to please, I am an aquarian woman much older than him and I don’t quite know what he wants. First he seems attached and next he is not. I don’t know what to think. That problem is that he only wants to talk to me about sex and I am open to it, but not to give him any. I am tired of him seeing me that way. I want him to take me seriously. I don’t know what to do? I have a feeling he has been playing with me for more than three years and keeps a lot of his secrets to himself. We text each other everyday, I am the aggressive one, it use to be him but now it is me. I know it’s time to walk away, but I don’t know how long I would be able to stay away. Sex with him is awesome and intense, but he wants to be friends and he says when he sees me he wants sex. I am not willing to give it up to him until I know he takes me serious. I am afraid that what we have is dead. I am hurting because I do have feelings for him. Can anybody help me out and what can I do to change things between us. I want to show him I am the right person for him. What do leo men need me to do so that they can trust me and talk to me. I don’t do anything for a leo man to no trust me, but at times I feel that he don’t trust me and that is why he won’t commit to me.
I am a leo woman head over heels in love with an Aquarius man, our chemistry is insane and we get along better then I have with alot of people. The trouble is he is in a relationship but our connection is undeniable. Who knows what may become of this situation. I am a complete leo inside and out, while I am still trying to figure our the Aquarian way, he is cool and collected, unreserved and inconsistent, not sure if that is part of him because a water sign or him in this situation, nonetheless I see that we could be a match.

Thanks for all the Aquarian man advice. its priceless. I’m being drawn into his orbit and I don’t know where I am. As a leo I like to have my feet firmly on the ground but it’s always moving with this guy. I had written him off but then he emails “I lost your phone number!” Go figure. I will try to be patient and not demanding ( pretty tough for a leo) but I hope he is worth it as we’ve certainly mind melded already. Wish me luck.
To Marie. I went out with leo man for 3 years and they are demanding. Don’tt worry abt trust that not what he needs. He needs to be loved. Maybe you ahve the trust issue in you? He is like a big kid he just needs the right kind of attention and he’ll be happy. Just keep him amused, keep up the physical side and lots of compliments no matter how hollow -he won’t care. God luck
I found the best thing to my boyfriend’s birthday… It’s really hard to find cool and still unique.
So today I saw this thing from ZTARLET on facebook where you can name a real star in the sky and have the certificate and a teddy bear sent to you and pay it by a single SMS. So awesome

i am currently having strong emotions for a leo man. i am an aquarian. he is my professor and he is around 7 years older than me. but i just really want to date him and in class i catch him glance at me everytime i’m about to leave the room.
but i don’t have the guts to talk to him! i’ve never had a boyfriend before (though i’m already 19) because i hate commitments. but there’s just something about him that intrigues me. he is very smart and i love how he speaks, his ideas, his insights on stuff in class. i just adore him! i’ve never had such intense emotions for the longest time and now i’m just so disarmed by him. actually i hate it because i don’t like being the one head over heels over someone but i just can’t help it. i really really want him to date me but i’m thinking maybe he’s holding back because our school is strict when it comes to amorous relationships between professors and students. 
i don’t know how to talk to him, i used to be so good in flirting but with him i just can’t. i get so jittery around him and i just don’t know what to say to him. plus i am kinda’ intimidated by him because he is really really intelligent. i can say i’m smart but he’s just too amazing and brilliant. please leave a comment if you have any advice on what i should do. thanks!
im an aquarius female who has been in a serious relationship with a leo male for less than a year. im an undergrad and i cant say ive had a relationship like this one, ever. hes unlike any other person i know, funny, charismatic, extremely intelligent and ambitious. i dated another leo before him who made me wary of dating the sign again, but my boyfriend is far, far better than that guy.
anyhow our relationship has been basically indestructible up until this last month. before this last month we were mutually infatuated and had this insane chemistry that strangers on the street would often comment on- no lie. we lived together for about half a year and worked great together. our sex life was and still is unbelievable. whats more is that we’ve always been able to talk.
this past month ive noticed weve been somewhat off balance. at the beginning of the relationship he was the more vocal one about his feelings, always straight with me about how much he cared and everything he’d do for me. i was less vocal and kept back a lot of my feelings- as i do with every relationship, keeping my cool. then our relationship flourished and i fell madly- emphasis on madly- in love with him. hes become noticibly less affectionate than he used to be (or maybe i just remembered it that way) and ive grown into this crazy jealous freak that i didnt know i had in me. i love him incredibly and ive just been so consumed with these unwarranted insecurities about him leaving me. i take these insecurities out on him where i lash out and say unnecessarily awful things. its just very unlike me to bare these feelings all the time when i used to keep them so neatly under wraps.
i have no idea if this has anything to do with my being an aquarius but i thought id leave this post in case anyone had some insight.
thx
Im a Aquriuas and my ex- is a Leo.We still talk even though he broke up with me.He told me that he really tried to be faithful, but he couldnt do it even though he thought he could.I was upset but I couldnt let that go lol.He is a Leo, he is very physical, and our chemistry is hot.But I want a deeper connection more than all the physical stuff. I want to have a intellectual conversation, and he does.I want us to get back in a relationship, yes im independent because I have been alone for awhile and handled it very well.I dont like being lonely though.I really like him and he really likes me, cant keep his hands off me, and I barely can stop that feeling.
hon3y, i know how you feel. I’m 17 and i’ve been with my man for 4 years now. He’s 29. We don’t care about the age difference, we love each other very much. At times he is distant and at times i can be too clingy..but the sex is amazing and it’s very VERY constant. haha. I believe we balance each other out however i’m not detatched at all, unlike him; however, that is due to his past so i understand. Another thing that has kept us together for so long is that i am more laid back and he is more edgy so whenever we get in a fight he is one to push and i am one to just let it go and let him have his way no matter what it does to me. I am fully committed and that means that i care more about him than i do myself.
I AM IN LOVE WITH AN Aquarius MAN HE SO SMOOTH AND SO SEXY,SEX IS BOMB I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HIM IT HURTSOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGG THINKING ABOUT HIM JUST
O s*** IAM AT WORK CANT DEAL WITHIT KNOW BUT LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Hi! My story is Aquarius girl meets Leo dude. Totally hit it off.after reading all of these stories it sounds so creepy close to home. We’re in the “Start” and it’s so true! i feel so calm around him! and our families have the same background, we like the same music,books,. We enjoy the same activities it seems so fake but its not. i dont know how we will be in a few months because i feel so “disarmed” as someone put it earlier. Thanks ppl for posting your stories and hope you like mine although all of our stories sound similar lol! I hope its lasts!
