When Leo and Scorpio join together in a love match, the result is usually a
dynamic and intense union. They are well tuned in to one another's needs;
Scorpio demands respect and to be wanted while Leo needs to be adored and
complimented constantly. They are both extremely loyal, and often possessive of
one another. Both members of this love match are able to give the other what
they need and while enjoying one another's strengths.
For each of you, the force of habit is strong. More than likely, you're both
determined, purposeful and persistent. This relationship is a test of wills.
Neither one of you is easily pushed, pulled or pressured. Once you commit to
each other, this relationship can become steady, stable and a powerhouse. Stand
firm on the conviction that you are working to overcome inertia together.
The slinky Scorpion will pick Leo out at a distance, work out a plan of attack,
then surround and undermine Leo’s ramparts, for the thrill of the hunt is in the
Scorpion blood. The bigger the target the better, and the Lion, as King of
Beasts, is the biggest target on the field. The bold yet straightforward Lion
will be instantly fascinated, for the subtleties of the Scorpion are legendary.
Leo is no sexual slouch, but Scorpio's sexuality is profound, all-consuming and
intense. Scorpio seeks transformation through the sexual experience, so, unlike
in your seeding stages, this is never undertaken lightly. Ruled by Mars, the god
of primitive action and Pluto the lord of the underworld, the Scorpion mixes
primal passion with a profound need to uncover the mysteries of life and death,
including and especially sexual ones.
At heart, Leo is practically perfect. The ancients have said that Leo is
entitled to the Lion's share of fun. Leo needs to roar with pride, both on
centre stage and in the bedroom. By developing willpower, Leo can find creative
ways to get into the spotlight and shine. Leo is playing the game of life stakes
higher than Scorpio may realize. To win points, Scorpio can treat Leo to a most
excellent piece of gold jewellery. Leo also appreciates Scorpio's undivided
attention.
Leo relishes comfort and luxury, often doing things on a grand scale. Leo tends
to be flamboyant, and Scorpio will appreciate that and will be happy to be the
audience Leo requires as long as there is equality in the relationship. Leo
shines brighter and more insistently, evolving into the living, breathing
manifestation of magnificence and luxury. Scorpio shies away from the limelight
but likes to control the mechanics. Because both Signs are so determined, these
partners really need to work to understand and accept one another.
Scorpio is a strong individual, an extremely good friend, a formidable enemy,
and prone to intense likes and dislikes. Scorpio lives in the world of black and
white. Scorpio has little time for superficial people, places or things.
Emotions run deep with the slinky one, whose faculty of intuition is so accurate
that those powerful antennae can pick out a prospective partner at first sight.
Investigating the deepest mysteries is the Scorpion's domain. The boudoir ballet
is an intoxicating synthesis of the tender and the wild, for the combination of
Fire and Water generates enough steam to drive a turbine. Leo be ready and
willing to be consumed, if you want to get the best from the Scorpion. However,
Leo and Scorpio are Fixed Signs, so are closely matched with courage,
determination and endurance, though not in subtlety. The clash of two powerful
yet utterly different egos can see mighty conflicts should the Scorpion attempt
to control Leo, or fail to pay due homage to your regal personage. These
collisions can be resolved in hot bursts of passion, at least in the early
stages while the turbines are fired up and driving at full steam.
Scorpio prefers deep commitment, deep conversation and deep thoughts. If Scorpio
can't tell it like it is, Scorpio prefers to keep quiet. It should be mentioned
that Scorpio has quite a few secrets. Scorpio has forgiveness issues that tend
to make personal relationships challenging. People whisper about Scorpio's sex
life. They dare to include Scorpio in their most passionate fantasies. Scorpio
has proven the ability to hold on. Scorpios staying power is second to none. Now
Scorpio needs to learn to let go. Every day Scorpio needs to find something to
sell, give away, throw out or burn. If Scorpio wants to get the most out of
life, Scorpio needs to let go of old crap, literally, figuratively, and most of
all, psychologically.
Leo is ruled by the Sun while Scorpio is ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto.
The Sun is about ego and self, and it radiates warmth and light. Leo indeed
emits this kind of zeal and enthusiasm. Mars is about war, brashness and battle,
and Pluto is the influence on Scorpio's inner dialogue. Ruled by the House of
Sex, Pluto influences the idea of regeneration and re-birthing that is a current
theme in Scorpio's life. Together, this abundance of male energy causes Leo and
Scorpio to lighten their conflicts and assist one another. The Sun represents
life, and Mars and Pluto represent ambition and the unconscious; as long as they
take the time to really understand one another on a deep level, their romance is
a positive one with high expectations.
Despite the magnetic attraction, Leo will soon tire of Scorpio's jealousy and
possessiveness, for temperamental Scorpio has a smouldering fuse, while Leo is
much more outward looking and fond of the limelight. The Scorpion fails to get
your need for an admiring audience and constant desire to entertain. Scorpio
would rather dominate than admire, and that doesn't sit well with your regal
position. Sex isn't everything.
For this match to survive, you'll need to compromise, so get a full chart
comparison to see if there are moderating factors at work. If the steam turbine
can be harnessed it can supply power for whole communities of lesser folk. If
not, you should pick the blossoms and move on.
