Leo and Aquarius Compatibility

There are numerous types of relationships to explore when considering compatibility between two signs. We grow up in a parent/child dynamic. Outside our family, we form friendships with other children and eventually other adults. We look for and find love. And, we go to work and have careers, interacting with employers and co-workers.

Each sign-to-sign interaction guides our behavior in every relationship. Read through this section to find out how each of the above dynamics works astrologically so you can experience the optimal way to communicate and get along with your sign and all the other signs.

Generally Speaking

The Leo-and-Aquarius relationship is very important since these signs oppose one another, attempting to find balance by being in a relationship together. As the “I perform” sign of the Zodiac, Leo is competitive, playful, and confident. Aquarius is the “I revolutionize” sign of the Zodiac and is social, idealistic, and individualistic. A long-term relationship (outside parent/child) is very likely. Leo can help Aquarius express his or her unique talent for the community and Aquarius can help Leo find where it belongs, and where his or her talent will be most appreciated.

Leo Parent/Aquarius Child

The Leo parent and Aquarius child can work well together. Aquarius, as a type, is usually quirky or unique in some way, focused on what is new and innovative. Leo, as a type, enjoys entertaining and competing. The Aquarius child often appears to be from a “different world” regardless of who is the parent (except maybe another Aquarius), but the difference can be something the Leo parent embraces because it helps them stand out to have such a different child. For the most part, these two energies help complete a circuit geared towards performance, participation, and social interaction.

Aquarius Parent/Leo Child

The Aquarius parent and Leo child can be challenging, but in ways that are meant to help both signs. There will be rules with the Aquarius parent, like with any fixed sign, but they will probably be clear enough that the Leo child will easily understand them. Leo is also a fixed sign, who can benefit from consistent rules, regardless of how strange or unusual they might be. These two energies easily feed one another, so the Aquarian parent can help the Leo child learn to socialize. And the charm of the Leo child will help grow the Aquarian parent’s community and friendship circle.

Leo Friend/Aquarius Friend

Leo and Aquarius friends can balance one another out, making the friendship one filled with synergy and an easy flow of interaction. The Aquarius enjoys being part of the group but does not need or want to lead, just participates. However, they can appreciate a good leader in their group, which the Leo friend has the potential to be. Leo will recognize that the Aquarian friend is not much about the spotlight but can be a very happy and helpful supporting cast member. Plus, the Aquarius does not need the Leo to “be on” all the time, which can make the Leo feel relaxed around his or her Aquarius friend.

Leo Lover/Aquarius Lover

This romance, love, sex combination can be fun-filled and enduring. All fixed signs can have lasting relationships, even if they are full of challenges and disruption, which is what happens when fixed signs square each other. The romance may not be the most intense, but it might be the most flamboyant or unusual. Neither of the signs have any trouble being in public and can turn heads when out and about, showing off their love as if acting out the ideal version of a relationship that might end up in a film or on television.

• 16 Reasons Aquarius Is Tough to Love

Leo Employer/Aquarius Employee

The Leo employer and the Aquarius employee match is one of the easier combinations, mainly because of the professional environment. Leo wants to see the company shine so he or she can bask in the fun and glory of success. Aquarius loves to innovate and find unique ways to solve problems or do his or her work. Basically, the Aquarius can enjoy working for a Leo because they can and will help their Leo boss shine. And, they know how to have fun with their employer without overstepping any boundaries.

Aquarius Employer/Leo Employee

If the employer is an Aquarius and the employee is Leo, this combination works just as well. Aquarius likes to see a team thrive through the efforts of its individuals. Leo will enjoy working on the team and performing for and with everyone. Aquarius leaders understand the need for each sign to do what it does best and behave how it prefers to behave. They should be able to see how the Leo employee can provide creativity, playfulness, and competition to the work environment, which, if managed properly, can make any place a “great place to work”.

Leo Co-worker/Aquarius Co-worker

This combination may work the easiest because the two signs can really balance one another out. The Aquarian enjoys team-building exercises and getting everyone to participate. Leo can bring a lot of creative energy and joy to the workplace. Put these two together and you could find yourself in one of the best working environments regardless of the work of the company or the demands of clients and shareholders.
