Leo and Pisces Compatibility

Leo and Pisces are one of the zodiac''s most distant pairings. The quincunx between them describes two signs with nothing at all in common: not the same element, not the same quality, not the same rhythm. A Leo wants to stand in the middle of the stage; a Pisces is most at ease at the edge of it, where the light does not reach. So understanding each other does not come easily at first.

Even so, there is something strong binding these two signs: both are romantics. A Leo''s romance is showy and wants grand gestures; a Pisces''s romance is quiet and feeds on small things nobody sees. While the Leo throws a surprise party, the Pisces hands them a letter they have kept for years. In fact both are saying the same thing, in different languages.

The greatest danger in this relationship is the Leo mistaking the Pisces''s quiet for indifference. A Leo wants to hear that they are loved, and out loud; a Pisces thinks the finest way to show affection is to let it be felt. If this misunderstanding is not cleared up before it grows, the Leo finds the Pisces cold and the Pisces finds the Leo coarse. And yet both are looking for the same thing.

A Pisces knows better than most signs how not to wound a Leo''s pride. That skill at reading feeling lightens the weight of the demanding angle between them. And in return the Leo gives the Pisces a sense of security they could never build alone: they stand behind them, protect them and defend them against the world. If this exchange is set up honestly, the difficulty of the quincunx is not a fate.

In the bedroom this pair get along surprisingly well; the Leo''s passion and the Pisces''s imagination feed each other. The problem is in daily life: who stays home when, and who goes out into the crowd when. If these two signs can learn to build a calendar together, the rest works itself out.

Leo woman and Pisces man: love and compatibility

The Leo woman is strong, self-assured and likes to be seen. The Pisces man admires that assurance, because it is exactly what he lacks. That admiration serves the relationship very well at the start, and the Leo woman enjoys being admired. But admiration alone does not carry a relationship. Over time the Pisces man has to show that he can stand on his own feet, and the Leo woman has to stop mistaking his slowness for idleness. If they manage this, the Leo woman becomes the one who speaks for them both outside, and the Pisces man the one who holds them together at home.

Leo man and Pisces woman: love and compatibility

The Pisces woman gives the Leo man what he needs quite naturally: admiration, attention and unconditional support. In return the Leo man protects her and stands behind her against the world. This balance, which looks flawless at first, breaks down when it starts running one way only. If the Pisces woman feels she is not getting back what she gives, she withdraws quietly - and the Leo man often does not notice when that began. Whether this relationship lasts depends on the Leo man learning to ask. If he does, the Pisces woman offers him a devotion deeper than any other sign could give.
