The signs that are the worst match for Leo may surprise you, given how bold and extroverted the lion of the zodiac truly is. Astrology remains a tool for romantic compatibility, even after decades. But it’s important to remember that all zodiac matches offer exciting, interesting compatibility. Still, some zodiac signs need to do more work to understand one another compared to others!

When we consider Leo, some zodiac signs stick out as potentially incompatible or difficult matches. Today, we’ll discuss some of the least compatible zodiac signs for Leo as well as why this might be the case. But, before we dive into some of the worst matches for the lion of the zodiac, let’s discuss the personality of Leo so that you can fully understand why certain zodiac signs don’t work well with them! 

All About Leo, the Lion of the Zodiac

Were you born anytime between July 23rd and August 22nd? If so, you’re a Leo, the fifth zodiac sign and a fire sign of a fixed modality. Leos are ruled by the Sun. They are the only sign of the zodiac to have this important planetary ruler. Because of this, Leos are full of life, energy, and charisma. People are drawn to Leos because of their planetary ruler. The Sun grants our planet life, warmth, and stability. 

Fire signs are action-oriented and energetic. This further supplies life force and drive to the average Leo. Every fire sign has a straightforward, direct way of speaking, though Leos can have a penchant for drama on occasion! When we consider the fifth astrological house that Leo is connected to, the notion of drama and creativity becomes even more prevalent. Creation, fun, and pleasure are all themes of the fifth house and therefore integral to the Leo personality. 

Finally, Leos are fixed zodiac signs. All fixed signs represent stability, stubbornness, and dedication, with Leos being no exception to this rule. There’s also a romantic nature in every fixed sign. People born under this modality prefer to sustain and maintain their relationships rather than seek something new. Leos are incredibly dedicated, devoted individuals. They infuse every relationship they have with warmth and light! 

Still, some zodiac signs may not appreciate the Leo personality, and vice versa. But which zodiac signs struggle the most when it comes to understanding the lion of the zodiac?

Deeply romantic and committed, Leo is a zodiac sign capable of making just about any relationship work. But just how much work will these matches be for the lion of the zodiac? Here are some of the signs that may prove difficult for even the brightest and boldest of the zodiac to handle! 

1. Taurus

Taurus and Leo represent a square aspect in astrology. An earth and fire pair, Taurus and Leo may find that opposites attract at first. There are positives within a Taurus-Leo match, especially when we consider the mutual elegance and glamor of these two zodiac signs. Indulgence and pleasure won’t be a problem within this match, but other things will be. 

Both fixed and incredibly stubborn when it comes to their routines and opinions, Leo and Taurus will likely bicker from time to time. Likewise, Taurus represents the second house of control and possessions, lending a possessive quality to this zodiac sign. While Leos are deeply loyal to their romantic partners, their flirtatious side has the potential to rub the average Taurus the wrong way! 

2. Aquarius

Opposite Leo on the astrological wheel, Aquarius isn’t always a bad match for the lion of the zodiac. In fact, air and fire signs are typically compatible and enhancing when in a relationship, affording a different point of view but similar values to each other. However, Leo and Aquarius are fixed signs. They often maintain a relationship rooted in inflexibility and what’s expected of them rather than the passion both of these signs typically seek. 

On the surface, Leo and Aquarius work well, both representing extroverted and individualistic qualities. There’s a deep respect between Leo and Aquarius, given that they are astrological opposites and tend to seek the same things out of life. However, if Leo and Aquarius can’t learn how to compromise as well as balance their partnership with their individual needs for freedom, this match isn’t likely to last! 

3. Scorpio

While passion and attraction often run deep in a Leo-Scorpio match, frustrations and combativeness are also likely themes in this pairing. Another fixed and fixed sign relationship, Leo and Scorpio bring mutual intensity into their romance. But so much intensity has the potential to run rampant within this partnership, leading to hurt feelings, rash decisions, and much more. 

Water and fire signs are attracted to one another because of their differing points of view. This is especially true of Scorpio and Leo, as curiosity will be prevalent in the early days of this match. However, Scorpio and Leo are both strong personalities seeking power and reassurance within their relationship. The very different communication styles of Scorpio and Leo may prove difficult when it comes to what they both seek, especially long-term.

Same-sign partnerships aren’t always difficult, but two Leos may struggle to compromise and balance one another in the long run. The benefit of having a relationship with someone born under the same zodiac sign as you has to do with just how similar you are. Two Leos will understand one another’s insecurities, dreams, and values unlike any other zodiac sign. It’s a true strength within this match. 

But Leos want to be the center of attention and beloved within their relationship, something two Leos may struggle to give to one another. While both fixed and romantic, two Leos will still exercise their flirty charisma in friend groups or amongst other people. Jealousy and possessiveness can prove difficult within this astrological match, especially if either Leo involved in the relationship feels like they aren’t a priority to the other!
