An Aquarius is seemingly the best sign to be married to a Leo.

A union between a rigid Taurean and a Fiery Leo is bound to be a day in hell. They are both firm and unyielding about their views.

From the beginning, it will be obvious that this union was not destined to last very long.

  • Scorpios 

Speaking of the Titans’ clash, here it is; a Scorpio and a Leo in matrimony. The Scorpio loves to be in control, and Leo would firmly resist this. The Leo loves the spotlight, as does the Scorpio. There is bound to be a daily struggle for power which would not be healthy for a home.

What Leo Likes

  • Excessive Praise

This might also be called Leo’s weakness; they seek praise like they have an innate meter that must be filled. From a ravaging Lion, a Leo could be turned into a purring kitten with just the right type and quantity of flattery. They so much love to be extolled and adored by people.

  • Loyalty 

Leos are very dedicated to their friends and would always go the extra mile to help a friend in need. In the same vein, they appreciate friends who are loyal to them. Friends who can take risks on their behalf and protect Leo when he is at his weakest.

  • Protecting their loved ones

Even when a Lion is afraid in his heart, he would still protect his family. Not minding the odds that have been set against him, he doggedly holds his ground and charges at the danger. More often than not the Leo is backed by luck, and his brave heart is rewarded with the respect and admiration of his family.

  • Looking good

A Leo can invest a fortune to keeping himself trimmed and in shape. To him, his looks are one of his greatest assets. His hair, skin, clothes, ride e.t.c must be on point to impress his numerous admirers.

  • Defiling Risks

Leos are the pro at risk-taking. They courageously undertake tasks that most persons dread, and they are most times successful at the end. Despite their risk-taking nature, Leo isn’t one to spend excessively or squander his resources because that would amount to foolishness as far as he is concerned.

  • Counseling

As an expression of their inner desire to protect those whom they love, Leos could be very generous with giving counsel. They do not wish for harm to befall the persons they love, and hence they kindly dole out wisdom in words of advice.

What Leo Dislikes

  • Lack of Activity

 A Leo does not do well when there is nothing to do. They relish the abundance of things to be done on their schedule.

After they have engaged in the dramatic leisure activity, they relax and treat themselves to enough pampering.

  • Submission 

For a Leo, it is preferable if he leads rather than submits to someone else’s ideas and opinions. Motivational speeches are also definitely not for Leos because a great many of them are self-driven. They perceive taking instructions as undignifying and do all they can to be independent.

  • Being dependent on others

A Leo has his pride to protect, so even when things are rough with him, his perception of his self-worth causes him to work extra hard rather than accept loans. The Leos live within their self-built system and sustain all they have without asking favors from those around them.

  • Pettiness

Wickedness and pettiness are not part of the characteristics of a Leo. They would not think of harming anyone in these wise, but if people close to them get hurt, they confront the offender and defend the weak.

  • Time wastage

It’s unlike Leo to waste time and resources on activities that have no relevance or wouldn’t benefit him. Even when they go out of their way to assist others, they know they would be appreciated for their actions and for a Leo that would soothe him well enough.
