You are both proud, vibrant, warm, but rather self-centred individuals. You both want to be the centre of attention,
and you may not want to share the starring role with your partner. Neither of you can dominate in this relationship; you must cooperate, which isn't something that comes naturally to either of you.
Although it may not be obvious to others, both of you are very self-conscious individuals, and you are very concerned with your own personal creativity, personal recognition, and personal performance. Both of you are best suited to work that is very personal and creative - being one inconspicuous part of a large corporation is not for you.
Your relationship is likely to be either extraordinarily happy and fulfilling or else disastrous - with no middle ground. You tend to either adore each other or despise each other. You are both very loyal, but you must respect and believe in your partner. If you ever feel that your partner lacks integrity or honesty, or is competing with you, or does not appreciate or understand your creative work and motivations, then the love and admiration that you have for each other turns sour quickly.
Both of you love to be made to feel that you are very special and important, the favourite, the best! Proud and somewhat egotistical, you are sensitive to being ignored, slighted, or put in the background. You need personal recognition, appreciation, and respect very much, and you also want to be associated only with people you admire and respect.
You both have a warm, sunny disposition, and you don't want to acknowledge your own problems or weaknesses, so you generally show only your bright face to the world.
Both of you are also rather theatrical, dramatising or exaggerating your own feelings or emotional responses. (If you like something, you
adore it. You're not just irritated, you're 'absolutely
furious', etc). This is one way that you dominate, overpower, or try to control (in a subtle way), the people closest to you.
You are both strong individuals and the obvious problem you will face together is: Who's the boss? If either or both of you are too insecure to be able to share the limelight with someone else, you will not be very happy together. On the other hand, if you are secure in your own worth, you are likely to admire one another enormously.
Your feelings for each other are so dreamy and idealised that it is doubtful that you have a very realistic view of each other. Enjoy the dreamy romance while it lasts but be ready also for times of disillusionment when the fog lifts and you see your partner in a clearer light.
You evoke in each other a greater sensitivity to music, art, and poetry, as well as feelings of compassion and sympathy. You find each other fascinating and interesting and you love exploring new dimensions of feeling and sensitivity through music, art, poetry, or religion. There is also a dreamy, romantic quality to the love that you have for each other.
You will experience the heights and depths, love and hate, attraction and repulsion, agony and ecstasy in this relationship.
A powerful, compelling fascination and irresistible sexual attraction draws the two of you together like magnets. You love each other with a depth of feeling that is surprising even to yourselves.
The powerful charismatic power that you have over each other can be used to manipulate one another, and dominance, control, or jealousy easily become hot issues between you. Whether this is a brief passionate encounter or a lifelong attachment, you will change one another profoundly.
Romantic and sexual attraction is very powerful, but is likely to have an intense, obsessive quality as well. Leo, in particular, may feel that Leo comes on too strong or is too insatiable and demanding. Jealousy, sexual manipulation, or unrestrained emotional fervour are strong potentials between the two of you. An almost fated, love-hate kind of relationship is very possible.
Between you there is considerable confusion and struggle over two particular issues: healthy self-assertion and sexuality. Regarding the first: when you are together one or both of you lacks directness and direction, and you may feel increasingly weaker and more dependent because you surrender your right to act on your own behalf and assert yourself forthrightly. Rather than openly and directly going for what you want, you may try to obtain your desires in an underhanded, less obvious way. Anger and aggressiveness are diluted or expressed only indirectly. Instead of open confrontation, subtle attacks on the other person's self-esteem and an erosion of that person's confidence occurs.
No matter how practical and well-grounded the two of you are as individuals, together you have some real blind spots, things which you don't see clearly at all, or which you see through a haze of fantasy and hope. Deception and/or self-deception can undermined this relationship if you are not as clear, precise, and honest with one another as you can be. It would be extremely helpful if you can find an objective third party to give you some realistic feedback about one another or any problems that may come up between you. Financial business or other practical affairs which are joint endeavours should also be checked by a competent outside party.
