♌︎♌︎ Leo and Leo compatibility

How well do Leo and Leo go together? By tradition: familiar.

Two of the same sign recognise each other as if in a mirror. That brings quick understanding, and there is little to explain. But tradition also says: a mirror shows not only the lovely side, but also what you dislike about yourself.

What helps: Each of you needs a corner of your own where you are not the other's mirror.

What connects them

Two generous hearts who like to celebrate and admire each other.

Where it rubs

Both want the leading role, and wounded pride gets in the way of making up.

Element and way

Two fire signs: both burn for something and show it. Together there is a lot of drive, a lot of courage and a lot of laughter. Tradition warns of only one thing: when both flare up at once, nobody is there to put the fire out.

Leo is a fixed sign. Both belong to the fixed signs: they hold on to what they have. That makes the connection faithful and steady. It gets difficult when both stand their ground, because neither likes to give way.

The two in love

In love, Leo is generous and warm-hearted. It needs admiration and someone who shares its joy.

The planets of the two

The planet of Leo is the Sun. The Sun stands for warmth and self-expression. It brings warm-heartedness to a relationship and the wish to be seen.

The sky for the two, as of 19 October 2026

Venus is currently in Scorpio, until 24 October. For Leo, it touches the area of home and family. Venus has been retrograde since 3 October and stays so until 14 November. During this time, tradition advises clearing up old matters between two people rather than sealing new ones. On 27 July 2027, Venus enters Leo. Mars is currently in Leo, until 25 November. As long as Mars is in one of the two signs, tradition says that sign has more drive, and passion and quarrels are closer at hand.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.
