They’ll find kindred spirits in one another and adore each other’s intensity, warmth, and openness. Both tend to be bossy but can usually overcome this through mutual respect.^{[1]

Possible Leo Soulmates

1
Taurus Despite their differences, Taurus and Leo make a surprisingly strong (and potentially soulmate-level) bond. Both signs have a taste for the finer things, making this pairing affectionate, sensual, generous, and luxurious. Leo knows exactly how to make Taurus feel special, and Taurus will give Leo all the attention they need. The only problem is their mutual stubbornness.^{[3]

- Why they could be soulmates: Their passion and loyalty for one another.
- Their greatest challenge: Taurus’s stubbornness clashes with Leo’s ego.
- How to make it work: Leo and Taurus must learn how to compromise with one another. They’ll make fantastic soulmates if they can stop butting heads over every difference of opinion.
2
Aquarius Aquarius and Leo are opposites on the zodiac wheel, and this opposition creates intense physical and emotional chemistry between them. They share a lot in common, including an independent spirit and a passion for exploring the world around them. They also find their differences attractive; Leo admires deep-thinking Aquarius, and Aquarius is drawn to Leo’s confidence and positive energy.
- Why they could be soulmates: Their enthusiasm and combined social savvy.
- Their greatest challenge: Mutual stubbornness, especially Leo’s desire for commitment and Aquarius’s reluctance to commit.
- How to make it work: Begin as friends and build a strong relationship. Aquarius prefers to blend love and friendship, so if Leo takes it slow, Aquarius will be much more willing to commit when the time comes.
3
Cancer Sensitive Cancer is a bit of an unexpected soulmate for bold Leo, but they work if they can accept the differences in their personalities. Cancer loves to nurture their partner, and Leo loves being doted on. Leo can coax Cancer out of their protective shell and help them live life to the fullest by giving Cancer the loyalty and stability they crave.
- Why they could be soulmates: Their willingness to show and express love to one another.
- Their greatest challenge: Learning to understand and respect their differences.
- How to make it work: Leo and Cancer's personalities are polar opposites, but they can go the distance if they establish a healthy give-and-take in their relationship.
- For example, for every party Leo asks introverted Cancer to attend, Leo might then spend a quiet day at home cuddling and cooking meals with Cancer. Give and take means both signs get what they need to be happy!

Leo Leo looks for nothing but the best when it comes to finding a soulmate, so it makes sense that one regal Leo might fall for another. In some ways, they’re the perfect match: they both want passion, devotion, and grand romance, and they’ll be able to give one another exactly that. However, they may encounter problems if their egos take over and they start to compete for attention.
- Why they could be soulmates: Their innate understanding of one another.
- Their greatest challenge: Their dislike of sharing the spotlight.
- How to make it work: Two Leos can be soulmates if they act like teammates, not opponents. That means setting aside their “me first” attitude to pay more attention to their partner’s needs, ensuring that both feel fulfilled together.

Unlikely Leo Soulmates

1
Virgo Although they certainly aren’t the easiest match, Virgo and Leo are actually not as different as they might think. They make an admirable team because Leo has a ton of ideas and creativity while Virgo has the practical sense to help see them through. However, Virgo might not enjoy Leo’s seemingly selfish need for praise, and Leo might feel like Virgo takes everything a bit too seriously.
- Their greatest challenge: They struggle to be patient with one another long enough to form a lasting bond.
- How to make it work: Develop understanding and mutual respect. Once each sign understands why the other thinks and behaves the way they do, they can relax and work together.
- Virgo may even be so flattered by Leo’s attention that they make the effort to give Leo praise and attention, while Leo’s sunny disposition can help Virgo lighten up a little and enjoy life.
2
Scorpio Scorpio and Leo have so much in common that it might lead to conflict between them. In some ways, they’re a strong match; Scorpio will love Leo’s creativity and boldness, while Leo will be drawn to Scorpio's intensity and emotional depth. In a relationship, their loyalty and devotion to one another are unmatched. However, ego and stubbornness can be their undoing.
- Their greatest challenge: Both have dominant personalities.
- How to make it work: These dominant signs are prone to stubbornness and power struggles with one another, but they can overcome this by working as a team and focusing on respectful communication.
3
Pisces Romance and drama is always dialed up to the max when Leo and Pisces come together. They’ll find kindred creative spirits in one another and will both enjoy having a partner who shows tons of affection. However, their personalities don’t always line up: Leo can be a little too dominant for a sensitive Pisces, and Pisces’ sensitivity can put a damper on Leo’s positive vibes.^{[4]

- Their greatest challenge: Conflicting lifestyles and emotional dispositions.
- How to make it work: Pisces is a dreamer and Leo a realist. Their worldviews may clash, but if Pisces finds creative ways to support Leo’s interests and Leo learns to be more sensitive to Pisces’ emotions, they can go far together.
4
Capricorn When they work together, Leo and Capricorn can be a power couple. Both have lofty ambitions and drive, which may inspire strong mutual respect. Still, Capricorn is much more methodical, preferring to chip away at their goals at a safe and calculated pace, while Leo chases their dreams at breakneck speed—and their differences can cause tension eventually.
- Their greatest challenge: Their inability to see eye-to-eye on most things.
- How to make it work: Capricorn and Leo can try to look at issues from one another’s perspective more often. The better they understand each other (and the way each of them does things), the smoother sailing it’ll be.

What sign should Leo marry?

Gemini, Libra, and Aries typically make the best life partners for Leo. As a fellow fire sign, Aries can match Leo’s intensity and fulfill their need for a warm, passionate love match.

- On the other hand, Leos looking for a profound emotional connection may actually need a life partner like Cancer or Taurus. Both are thoughtful and devoted, more than willing to shower Leo with the adoration they seek.

- While Leo isn’t the type to jump ship at the first sign of trouble, this dramatic sign may act out when they feel hurt or neglected. They have no problem loudly announcing their displeasure when upset.
4
Strong-willed Leo is a brave, strong-willed, and passionate fire sign. They’re natural-born leaders, capable of effortlessly commanding the attention of a room. This gives Leo an air of confidence and charisma that many find irresistible; Leo is one of the most powerful zodiac signs and has lots of drive and ambition.
