This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Aries man or Aries woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Leo man or Leo woman.

From the Aries viewpoint

You'll enjoy your Leos big heart, openness and sincerity. This isn’t a person who has secret agendas or is emotionally needy, both things you appreciate.

You both want to lead and be in charge, but in this case it will provoke healthy rather than harmful competition and passion. You're both aggressive and full of ideas, and both enjoy adventure and excitement.

You'll find you're fairly equally matched in the fighting department. Both of you can be terrifying to other signs, but neither will overly intimidate the other in this combination. More than anything you'll appreciate and respect each others zest for life.

Your Leo will always be able to make you laugh and cheer you up, and although he or she probably has an ego the size of Africa, they also have the charisma to get away with it!

You're likely to be the more impulsive partner, balanced nicely by your Leos ability to plan and organize. On the flip side, your partner is likely to be more stubborn than you are, and this can lead to a back and forth battle for control in several relationship areas.

Remember if you really want to get your way the key is often just to flatter your Leo. It sounds "too easy", but Leos often can't say no to someone they love while that person is praising them - try it!

One thing to be wary of though is offending your Leo. While they appears supremely confident they can be fairly sensitive underneath in the specific area of receiving criticism from someone they love. You can be fairly blunt at times, so this can catch you un-aware as they likely have an incredibly thick skin in many other areas.

No matter what happens, neither of you hold a grudge, so there will rarely be any long term bad feelings between you. One major exception to this exists though, and that’s in the area of past lovers.

It’s very important for each of you to feel like you're the best lover the other has ever had. If either of you feels this isn’t the case then its one of the few areas where you can do some long term damage to this otherwise perfect relationship, so try to avoid discussing or comparing past lovers at all costs!

Aries Leo Sex

Aries Leo is a near perfect combination sexually, you're both strong enough to handle the others incredible passion and wild side, and fiery enough to keep a healthy level of friction going at all times to keep things interesting. Your enthusiasm and your Leos playfulness make a great combination.

It’s important to note however that we’re looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someones personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.

To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.

This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information – everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

From the Leo viewpoint

Leo and Aries compatibility

Potentially this is a fantastic combination. You and your Aries partner will understand each other without really trying, and have personalities which compliment each other easily as a team.

You're both aggressive, egotistical, passionate and overall FUN. You're both ambitious - your Aries has the 'get up and go' personality to initiate projects (which you may lack the motivation to do) and you have the staying power to follow the through (where they lose patience and want to move on) - you'll continuously inspire each other and cover the others weaknesses.

You can expect some control issues, as you both want to lead, but unlike with some other signs it often leads to healthy and inspiring rivalry rather than long term grudges or agendas. Your best approach is to make your Aries think that something was their idea. Master this skill and it will pay huge dividends in this relationship!

One thing to note though, avoid ever discussing past lovers. One of the things which holds you together is the desire to be the best lover the other person has ever had. If either of you feels this isn’t the case, then its one of the few areas where you can do some long term damage to an otherwise perfect relationship. You’re particularly liable to initiate this one, so be warned. Your Aries doesn’t want to know if you previously dated a sexual Olympian!

This may be the first area that makes you really appreciate the strength of this relationship. This is an unusually powerful sexual combination.

Your partner is capable of matching your intensity and passion, and there will never be a shortage of chemistry here. Your playfulness and their need to win will ensure you always have a willing and challenging playmate.

Summary

So is this article conclusive?

No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level.

To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account. If you would like more information for your unique relationship please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

Other resources

Often the hardest questions to ask are the most important - for example, what are their views and expectations for raising children? sharing housework? saving money? career goals? etc.

One subtle and fun way to approach this is by working through a couples question book together - that way it's not really you asking, and delicate subjects can be covered easily. The best book for this I've found is Michael Webb's 1000 Questions For Couples

For reviews of this and other relationship ebooks on subjects ranging from improving your sex life to getting an ex back please see the relationship ebook reviews page.

A third method of further research is to share experiences with other couples of this same sign combination - you may be amazed how consistent they often are. Please see the links below for visitor experiences and questions.

In any relationship there are also very significant external factors. One of these is how well you understand yourself, your partner and your partnership - the more you do, the easier it is to make the relationship more exciting, fulfilling and satisfying for both of you, regardless of your starting position. The articles on how to Make him fall in love with you and Make her fall in love with you have information on how you can use astrology to revitalize a relationship.
