The combination of Aries and Leo is one of the most celebrated in the entire Western zodiac. Fire might accurately be described as an all-or-nothing element: either dwindling into wisps of smoke, or rising to a glorious blaze. Separately, Aries and Leo can sometimes feel as if they are too much for situations and people, as if they need to restrain themselves to avoid seeming overly bold or ambitious. What a joy it is for each of them to find a match where they can let themselves be free!

Together, these twin Fire signs are truly each other's equal. Aries' Cardinal modality contributes pure idealism and adventurism, the energy of any project in its earliest and most inspiring phase. Leo's complementary Fixed modality offers the steadying, mature influence necessary to translate the visionary aspects of the Fire element into tangible, real-world glories.

No relationship is without complexities, but a pairing between Aries and Leo is close as the Western zodiac provides to a guarantee of happiness, pleasure, and triumph.

But Steve and I made each other laugh, and we’re clowns, so that’s a big seductive element. That created a determination to see each other, and then have dinners, and that evolved into taking family vacations together."
