Fire and water can steam or fizzle: passion meets sensitivity. In astrology the pair forms a square (three signs apart). Signs three apart share a modality but clash in element, a traditionally challenging aspect that creates friction and growth.

## At a glance

Traditional harmony rating: ★★☆☆☆ (based on the aspect between the signs). Real relationships depend on whole birth charts and, above all, on the people.

|  | Leo | Scorpio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Dates | 23 July – 22 August | 23 October – 21 November |
| Element | Fire | Water |
| Modality | Fixed | Fixed |
| Ruling planet | the Sun | Mars (and Pluto in modern astrology) |
| Symbol | The Lion | The Scorpion |

## The two signs

Leo is described as warm, generous and confident. Scorpio is described as intense, loyal and perceptive.

## In love

Intense attraction; fire must be gentle with water's feelings, water must not smother fire's independence.

Both are fixed signs, so you share a way of approaching change, which can mean agreement or stubborn stand-offs.

## As friends

Rewarding if both are patient.

## At work

Works when roles are clear: fire leads, water reads the people.

## Tips for the pair

- Leo: appreciate Scorpio's intense side.
- Scorpio: appreciate Leo's warm side.
- Talk about needs directly rather than expecting your partner to guess.
