Scores are a simple guide based on the angle between your signs and your elements. Real compatibility depends on whole charts — compare Moon and Venus signs too.
Elements and Modalities: Fire + Fire
Two fire signs create a blaze: enthusiasm, spontaneity and shared appetite for adventure. The relationship runs hot — quick laughs, quick sparks, occasionally quick tempers. Keep it alive by giving each other room to shine instead of competing for the same spotlight.
A cardinal sign starts and a fixed sign sustains. The cardinal partner brings momentum, the fixed partner staying power — complementary if the starter respects the keeper's need for stability.
Ruling Planets
Aries is ruled by Mars: Mars gives drive, desire and directness. Leo is ruled by the Sun: the Sun gives warmth, pride and a need to be seen. In the relationship, Mars and the Sun have to find a rhythm that honours both.
Love & Attraction
Love feels natural and supportive; the only danger is getting too comfortable and skipping effort.
Aries loves bold energy and needs excitement, independence and honest feedback; Leo needs appreciation, loyalty and fun.
What Each Sign Wants in Love
Through Aries's eyes: In love Aries is passionate, playful and openly affectionate. They enjoy the thrill of pursuit and need a partner who can keep up — someone confident, independent and up for adventure. Boredom is the real relationship killer.
Through Leo's eyes: Leo loves grandly — romance, devotion, gestures. They want to be adored and will adore back, generously. Loyalty and appreciation keep a Leo glowing.
Communication
You 'get' each other — often finishing each other's sentences.

Trust & Intimacy
Trust is deep because your values align.
Watch out: Aries is turned off by indecision, passive aggression and being micromanaged, while Leo dislikes being ignored, stinginess and public criticism.
