Aries and Leo compatibility
Aries + Leo at a glance
Naturally easy: four signs apart (a trine).
A trine is traditionally the most harmonious angle. Aries and Leo share an element, so values and rhythm often line up naturally. The risk is getting comfortable and not stretching each other.
Both are fire signs, so there is shared energy and enthusiasm. The work is making space for rest and for listening, not just doing.
Aries is cardinal and Leo is fixed: one tends to start things, while one tends to keep things going. Knowing who usually does which makes everyday decisions smoother.
