The Leo/Pisces connection brings together two radically different people but it can work surprisingly well. Leo, a fire sign, is a strong, independent individual. Pisces, a water sign, is deeply emotional and empathetic to other people. The Leo woman can be given a lot of sympathy and understanding by her Piscean partner, and the Pisces woman can gain a sense of strength and confidence from her Leo partner. These two women also have a strong need for creative expression and in their different ways they are both very romantic, imaginative and playful. So even though these two are very different from each other they may actually create a harmonious relationship.
Certain difficulties arise because their temperaments are so different. The Leo woman is aggressively self-confident, stubborn, and dominating. She wants to know where she stands and what she can count on. The Pisces woman is deeply sensitive, fluid, and emotional, and tends to live a lot of her life through others. The Pisces sometimes has difficulties in firmly establishing her own identity. She also hates to be confined in a certain mold. The Leo may feel at times that she can't count on the Pisces partner because it is hard for the Pisces to define where she stands and she tends to move with the currents of life. Because the Pisces woman is so changeable the Leo woman feels unsure about what will be happening next, and the Leo likes to have control. The Leo woman may also resist the emotional dependence the Pisces woman places upon her. She may feel burdened by the wieght of these expectations and Leo's need to feel completely independent. The Pisces may find her Leo partner's tendency to try to control her suppressive, and even though the Pisces is not an assertive individual, she will retreat from any efforts the Leo will make to dominate her. She won't fight about it, she will just disappear because discord is traumatic for her. No matter how much she loves her Leo partner, if her need for freedom and consideration are not fulfilled she will retreat from the relationship either emotionally or physically. Pisces also can be intimidated by her Leo's hot temper. The Pisces woman will sometimes feel insecure with the way her Leo acts without taking her into consideration, and will sense the Leo's independence and sometimes interpret that as a form of rejection.
In spite of these difficulties the Leo and Pisces combination has much going for it. The Leo woman will enjoy the love and attention the Pisces woman gives her, and in fact the Pisces could make the Leo her entire world. Also, the Leo will appreciate the Pisces creative imagination. The Pisces woman can inspire the Leo woman to new insights and dreams. The Pisces will appreciate her Leo's warmth, generosity, and loyalty. Even though the Pisces does not want to be dominated, she does appreciate the strength and support of the Leo, and she enjoys the Leo's childlike spontaneity. Both these women are very romantic and often see life through rose-colored glasses, and both can be dreamers and unrealistic in their expectations of life.
The home they share will be filled with warmth and laughter, but they both may need to develop more practicality. Sexually, they can be very compatible as both are romantic, warm, and sentimental. Pisces can teach the Leo more sensuousness in love-making and her Leo partner can add more physical passion.
