Leo Compatibility: How Leo the Lion Gets On With Every Star Sign

We asked Leo the Lion, the Leo Astrominal (23 July – 22 August), how he gets on with the other signs. He agreed, on the condition that it was called “An Evening With Leo”. It isn’t. He doesn’t know yet.

Pick a sign above to jump straight to it.

Aries

Leo + Arri

Arri and I are both fire signs and both natural leaders. He leads from the front. I lead from the front, but with better hair.

Verdict: a blazing partnership. Mostly blazing at each other.

Arri the Rhino, the Aries Astrominal

Taurus

Leo + Taur

Taur is the only creature in the kingdom who doesn’t stand up when I walk in. I’ve decided this is because he’s comfortable around me. That’s a compliment, actually.

Verdict: royal approval granted. Taur didn’t notice.

Taur the Bull, the Taurus Astrominal

Gemini

Leo + Gem & Eye

The best fans a lion could ask for. They tell everyone about me, twice, in two voices.

Verdict: my official publicity department.

Gem & Eye, the Gemini Astrominal

Cancer

Leo + Canny

Canny clapped when I sneezed. Canny understands me.

Verdict: a true friend with excellent taste.

Canny the Crab, the Cancer Astrominal

Leo

Leo + Leo

Two lions, one stage. We both took a bow at the same time and bumped heads. We’re calling it a duet.

Verdict: the best show in town, with no interval and two encores.

Leo the Lion, the Leo Astrominal

Virgo

Leo + Virgo

I make a grand entrance. Virgo tidies up the confetti. I once asked Virgo to join me on stage, and Virgo hid behind the curtain for an hour.

Verdict: Virgo runs my backstage. I’d be lost without Virgo. Literally, Virgo has the map.

Virgo the Shy Sheep, the Virgo Astrominal

Libra

Leo + Libby

Libby has style. I have style. Together we’re the most fabulous thing in the room, and Libby is very polite about letting me stand slightly in front.

Verdict: gorgeous. Obviously.

Libby the Flamingo, the Libra Astrominal

Scorpio

Leo + Score

Score is the only Astrominal who has ever out-stared me. I blinked. I’ll deny this in public.

Verdict: mutual respect. Mutual mild terror.

Score, the Scorpio Astrominal

Sagittarius

Leo + Sagg

Fellow fire sign. Sagg is always off on an adventure, so I go too. I’m the one in the photos.

Verdict: great fun, great photos.

Sagg the Zebra, the Sagittarius Astrominal

Capricorn

Leo + Cap

Cap wants to be the boss through hard work. I want to be the boss through being magnificent. So far, it’s a tie.

Verdict: two leaders. One throne. Ongoing discussions.

Cap the Goat, the Capricorn Astrominal

Aquarius

Leo + Aqua

My opposite sign. Aqua isn’t impressed by anything. I’ve done my best roar four times and she just took notes. I’ve never been so intrigued.

Verdict: she keeps me humble. I hate it. I need it.

Aqua the Pelican, the Aquarius Astrominal

Pisces

Leo + Pike

Pike wrote me a poem. It was all about me. It’s the best poem ever written.

Verdict: Pike, you’ve got a fan for life. Well, I have. You know what I mean.

Pike the Fish, the Pisces Astrominal

Leo’s sign-off: Getting on with a Leo is easy. Notice us. Clap occasionally. And when we do something kind, which we do more than people think, tell us. We’ll pretend we didn’t hear. We definitely heard.
