Leo Friendship Compatibility - Leo and Aries

When Aries and Leo form a friendship, the sparks tend to fly! Both Signs are passionate and
dynamic, with a healthy spirit of competition thrown in. They push each other to accomplish more and better things, and there is a lot of action in this partnership. Both Signs want to be the leader, and things can get a little tense when their strong egos get in the way. These friends have genuine admiration and respect for each other, but they need to learn to take turns commanding and giving orders.

This friendship is all about fiery passion, domination and who's on top -- and when! Both Signs
can be impatient and proud, and Aries may be bothered by Leo's pride. This combination of
friends is never boring! Despite their sometimes noisy differences, Aries often looks to Leo as a
guide or counselor. Leo is the Lion, the leader, while Aries can be the lamb. As in the myth of the
Lion and the Lamb, with a little work and a lot of patience their differences can be overcome and
life can be harmonious. Both Signs are usually respected by others, and it's important that this
respect exists between the two of them as well.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars, and Leo is ruled by the Sun. Both are masculine energy
archetypes, and together they make a good combination -- they understand each other because
they're coming from the same place. The Sun is about Self, and Mars is about being a soldier, so
they're highly compatible, with lots of energy, and can make a powerful pair.

Both Aries and Leo are Fire Signs. There is always a lot going on, and this tends to be a very
heated and passionate relationship. When it's good, it's good, but when it's bad, it's about loud
arguments and damaged egos. In this friendship, there's always competition and a question of
who's leading the charge. They have boundless energy, so it's rare for one to slow down while
the other still is on the go. Although they may disagree often, their differences of opinion don't last long -- Aries is too busy moving on to the next challenge to hold a grudge. Leo needs to
remember not to be resentful if their Aries friend doesn't appear to show them enough respect.
Aries is a Cardinal Sign, and Leo is a Fixed Sign. Aries gives Leo the assertiveness to charge
ahead and take chances, while Leo can stabilize Aries so they can finish things before jumping
into new plans. At times, Aries can hurt Leo's feelings by charging ahead without thinking.

Conversely, Aries may be irritated by Leo's bossiness and tendency to sulk. They are both loyal
and care about each other deeply, and when they can understand that friendships don't need a
boss or supervisor, they can accomplish a lot.

The best aspect of the Aries-Leo friendship is the powerful coaction and mutual admiration when they're dedicated to seeing things through. With Aries as the initiator and Leo as the one who follows through, they both have their niche within their friendship. Their mutual energy and passion makes theirs a dynamic relationship.
