Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is not shy in its affections. If a Leo loves you, you'll know it — they are romantic and tender in their relationships.
Self-assured and confident, Leos love to feel proud of the people they love, and expect people to take pride in them, too. But which signs are particularly compatible with the lion of the zodiac? Read on for more about Leos in love.
What are Leos like in relationships?
Leos are performers at heart. Their world is a stage — and so are their relationships. They like to have the spotlight shone on then, usually taking the form of attention. But they're generous, giving back what they want to receive through acts of kindness and sacrifice. All a Leo asks in love? Unwavering loyalty.
"When it comes to romance they often require their partner to be just as captivating as they naturally are," tarot reader Blue June says of Leos.
How can you win over a Leo? Many ways, June says: “Compliments, gifts and quality time will get you far. They respond well to all forms of adoration.”
Back to the subject of pride: Leos are proud, and so apologies don't come naturally to them. They might be defensive in a fight, unable to see the other side.
Here’s how Leos get along with each zodiac sign
Leo and Aries
Leo and Aries are two fire signs that feed off each other’s energy. They are able to create art together that transcends time. Together they can make the other laugh and share similar memories. Both sides are prone to feeling like they're always right, though, so fights may ensue.
Leo and Taurus
When these fixed signs unite, sparks fly. Leo is egotistical at times and act impulsively. Taurus moves slower and wants to help others before themselves. The two can find a middle ground if they compromise, but that will require a lot of work which ... neither side particularly enjoys (especially Taurus).

Leo finds Cancer to be mysterious and full of spiritual insight, while Cancer believes Leo can help build their confidence. The two neighboring zodiac signs bond due to their generous hearts. They'll give support to one another – but may occasionally need a break from one another, too.
Leo and Leo
The drama never ends when two headstrong Leos unite. Both will compete for equal amounts of stage time. The desire to flatter the other and receive accolades is high, as their passionate and rambunctious emotions need to be seen and heard throughout the whole day.
