The Leo/Scorpio combination can be either very positive or quite destructive. Both women are very strong, powerful individuals. Leo, a fire sign, must express herself as she sees best no matter what. Scorpio, a water sign, derives her strength through the power of her emotions, and controls others through this power. The Leo woman is very honest, outspoken, and wears her heart on her sleeve; the Scorpio woman can also be very outspoken but she likes to keep her deepest motives hidden. Both women are extremely strong-willed, although what they want is usually, very different. Neither finds it easy to compromise. Leo is ruled by the sun and has that bright open quality of the daylight; Scorpio, by contrast, is associated with the depth and mystery of the night and what is hidden from view.
In spite of these sharp differences, these two women can also complement each other. Both signs have to do with the release of creative power. The Leo woman releases creative energy much like the sun by giving openly and unreservedly of herself. She tends to be optimistic and also at times a little naive. The Scorpio woman releases creative power through totally embracing people and situations and shaping them according to her will. The Leo woman brings fresh, spontaneous approach to expression; the Scorpio woman brings the power she derives from her awareness of the depths of human experience. When they work together harmoniously the power they can release is tremendous, and they can inspire others with self-confidence and emotional strength.
The Leo woman usually has great respect and admiration for her Scorpio partner. She sees Scorpio as an individual with great strength whom even she, the Leo, hesitates to challenge. She also appreciates what she learns about emotional depths from the Scorpio. Sometimes she'll find it hard to figure out what's really going on with her Scorpio partner, as the Scorpio does not easily confide in another. The Scorpio woman also hesitates to try to control her Leo partner. She appreciates the Leo's honesty and integrity as well as her strength of character. She will appreciate the openness of the Leo woman even though at times she will feel the Leo is insensitive without meaning to be, and she will withdraw when the Leo asks her to open up more than she is comfortable with. When these women do disagree, a regular warfare can develop. Fortunately, they can sense each other's weak points and will usually try to avoid them.
At best, these two women are capable of an intense and passionate relationship. Sexually, they are well matched because each has an all-or-nothing approach to love. Each is capable of a strong commitment to making a relationship work.
