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, your
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.
