Symbols
Astrology is full of symbols. The zodiac sign is a lion, Leo the lion. The element of the Leo is fire. Both signs are spirited and in your face.

Negative
Being a natural leader Leos get used to having all eyes on them, and they like it. Leos can be attention seekers wanting things to revolve around them. They can also be very opinionated and stubborn about their opinion. In some cases, this can lead to them being known as a hothead. There is a time when being too passionate can backfire. They are not one to back down from a confrontation. Leos are also known to be more on the possessive side, leading to some jealousy.
Relationships
While many healthy relationships may not fall into these combinations, some are written in the stars. Fire attracts other fire.

Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius have the energy to encourage a Leo and not put a damper on their goals. With a Leos overpowering at times personality, you wouldn’t want to pair them with any sign that is known for being timid. Every relationship needs to have the right balance and can be tricky.
There is a good and bad side to everything in life. Knowing both gives you the upper hand.
