Aquarius is drawn to Leo's warmth and
vitality, and Leo is drawn to Aquarius's uniqueness, intelligence, and
savvy. There are significant differences between you though. Aquarius's
colleagues, associates, and large social circle of friends and
acquaintances is a very important part of Aquarius's life, while
Aquarius's need for close, personal relationships is not as great as
Leo's. This characteristic is also reflected in your relationship!
Aquarius may seem cool and aloof to Leo. From Aquarius's perspective,
Leo takes life too personally and seems to dramatise events, idolise
individuals, and, in general, be too self-absorbed. You are truly
opposites in many ways and can certainly benefit from one another's
attitudes and insights.
Leo has an inner desire to be special and
important, to shine and be the centre of attention, to direct or lead
rather than follow. Leo wants to stand out from the crowd in some way,
and is generally not a team player. Aquarius on the other hand, needs to
be part of a group or community. The fellowship, the togetherness, and
the group solidarity are very satisfying and meaningful to Aquarius,
whether or not Aquarius is the focus of attention.
Leo wants to be in control and can be
very authoritarian (in a magnanimous sort of way, as in a "benign
dictatorship"), but Aquarius has a rather rebellious,
freedom-loving nature and resists Authority. Though having no desire to
be on top, Aquarius will not be complaint or domesticated either.
Also, Leo is loyal, intensely personal,
and rather narcissistic, while Aquarius can be rather cool and
impartially fair. Leo sometimes feels hurt by being treated "just
like everyone else"!
Living a secure, conventional,
predictable life is not high on the priority list for either of you!
Both of you are nonconformists and will rebel against being dictated to
or forced into someone else's precast mould. You share a revolutionary
spirit, ideals of liberation and freedom, and a tendency to shake people
up a bit when you express your true impulses.
Both of you can be very self-willed and
difficult to tame or domesticate – there is a wild side to you both.
You are apt to appreciate the quirks and the unusual interests and
inclinations of one another, which others might find odd or disturbing
or too "far out". Together you may not be very settled, but
you won't be bored either.
Excitement, upsets, and unpredictability
are major themes in your relationship. If either of you is looking for a
stable, secure, predictable, conservative relationship, then you will be
very disappointed. Be prepared for an unusual relationship that does not
fit any of your stereotypes. You need to also give each other a lot of
freedom and independence; if you try to "own" each other, you
will both become extremely uncomfortable, eventually causing the
relationship to explode apart. You spur each to be more creative,
inventive, and original. You inspire each other to be less inhibited, to
experiment more, and explore new possibilities. This is a relationship
that will never be boring! The constant excitement and changes may leave
one, or both, of you feeling a bit frazzled and disoriented.
Despite your differences, you work
together very well in practical matters, planning, organising,
developing or communicating ideas, and your differing viewpoints are not
likely to be a serious problem.
Your feelings towards each other change
quickly and you often react to each other rather impulsively. When the
mood is right, you find each other sexually irresistible, but at other
times you get on each other's nerves. You may feel like you fall in and
out of love on a monthly basis! It seems that you are either making
love, fighting with each other, or indifferent to each other, and you
may sometimes wish for greater constancy. Your domestic life is likely
to be very unstable. If you can be flexible and flow with the
fluctuating feelings, this relationship can be exciting and fascinating
– otherwise your patience will wear thin and you will perceive your
relationship as hopelessly unstable and your partner as unreliable and
untrustworthy.
There is a powerful magnetism between
you, and probably a strong sexual attraction as well. If romantic
attraction is strong, you may go through periods of feeling compulsive
and obsessive about each other. The emotions involved are complex,
however, and the bond between you, while quite strong, is not
necessarily harmonious.
Aquarius, at times can be bored by Leo's
direct approach towards love making. Aquarius likes a wider range of
sexual expression, rather than the wham-bang routine.
Leo may confuse and undermine Aquarius's
confidence in a subtle way, without intending to do so. Aquarius feels
unsure, befuddled, or mystified at times by Leo. Leo can influence
Aquarius to be less careful than usual also. A business or working
partnership is unlikely to work out well, but your personal relationship
will not suffer if both of you really work at being honest, clear, and
unambiguous about your intentions and desires. Otherwise, things become
rather foggy between you.
