When fire meets fire, all you will get is hotter flames and this is no less true when Leo men and Aries women get together in any capacity. Both signs share a raw and high energy vitality that permeates everything they do, making them a wonderfully matched, highly compatible pair. With no low-energy partner to slow them down, life will continue to be a rush of adventure for this duo until they meet a roadblock. The best highs are often paired with the most brutal lows, and these two signs can get particularly aggressive when push comes to shove (Leo men take note, shoving a set of horns does NOT work). For the most part, these two signs can function well as a powerhouse couple, achieving their greatest ambitions together while being admired and envied by those around them.
Basic Compatibility
Aries women are just as courageous and ambitious as Leo men, but for an entirely different reason. Leo men do everything to be admired; their insatiable ego’s endless quest is to be looked upon and found pleasing. As such, Leo men don’t care about taking shortcuts as long as the end result is the same: them on a pedestal. For Aries women, it is about personal success and being proud of one’s hard work. They don’t care about the opinions of others as long as they are not disappointed in themselves. These women of the ram work hard and play harder. While she enjoys socializing, she also relishes some time alone. The same cannot be said for the Leo who is prone to laziness when given the opportunity; he thrives solely in social situations.
Aries and Leo are so similar, but a defining difference is Aries women draw a hard line between work and play while Leo sees no reason why work shouldn’t also be fun. During work, she gives it her full attention and effort but when it’s time for fun she makes a sharp change to downright hedonism, which can be both shocking and intriguing to some. Both fire signs in this pairing are aggressive go-getters who will not passively wait for things they desire to float in their direction. Aries and Leo are strong, dominant signs so headbutting is not uncommon, and no one side is always the victor. Their shared stubbornness can make handling even the tiniest issues take a mountain of effort and cause fractures in friendships and intimate relationships. Aries women have no love for Leo’s drama and she won’t hesitate to step on his ego, especially if she’s upset. Leo men struggle with not being allowed to dominate and their innate competitiveness makes it unbearable to have a more successful partner – a highly likely situation with an Aries woman.

Love And Relationships
Friendship comes easy for both signs, with Leo men having a clear advantage. It should come as no surprise that Leo men prefer friends who will reinforce their opinions about themselves and bolster an already overactive ego. Aries women, on the other hand, simply like to befriend exciting and unique individuals, provided they do not have pushy personalities. For intimate relationships and dating, you can expect the Aries woman to take the lead. Being upfront and honest is important to her, especially when it involves love. Leo men will, no doubt, proudly take her forwardness as a sign of his high desirability status, so it is essentially a win-win situation. The real threat to this powerful match comes only with disagreements. The ram and the lion simply do not back down and it will become a war of attrition that an Aries woman may not forgive her partner for later. Unlike her Leo partner, her temper is short and a grudge could outlast the relationship.
A Leo man will need to ensure he has more than enough friends to keep his desires for being worshipped topped off, as an Aries woman simply has no interest in this. Aries women are quite individualistic and certainly won’t admire the laziness and dependency on admiration that Leo men display. Leo and Aries can both tip toward being possessive, with Leo adding in jealousy to the list. While a woman of the ram is blind to her own outgoing possessiveness, she is quick to rebel the moment she is the one being guarded and controlled. Jealousy can drive a lot of Leo’s more negative behaviors and bring problematic rifts into the relationship. Trust and loyalty are major values for both sides and all should work out if they don’t slip into stubborn deafness during attempts at communication.
The fire sign brings all manner of passionate intimacy to the table, with extra to spare. Leos are extremely sexual creatures and clearly view sex as being more about fun and satisfaction with emotional connection simply a side effect. A healthy sex life is almost mandatory for any relationship with a Leo man to succeed. For the Aries woman, she prefers her passionate encounters to have more of an emotional facet if she is truly invested in a long-term relationship. She will be upfront and honest when she is simply out for a lusty adventure and, in that case, she mirrors the lion’s approach to intimacy. Both signs are very primal in nature and sexless relationships will rarely, if ever, work out.
Working Together
Beyond an ongoing competitive fight for status, Leo men and Aries women should have no issues coexisting in the workplace. Aries women are determined to work hard and earn everything they desire. Laziness simply doesn’t exist within them, no matter the situation. They excel as leaders and can propel themselves to the top based on merits alone. Leo men also work hard when necessary, but won’t hesitate to use their charm and connections to make the climb as it is far easier that way. They are natural leaders but often desire to be the boss solely due to the respect it brings. Aries and Leo shouldn’t cause any significant office upsets and will likely keep their ongoing competition to themselves. Usually, you can expect some good-natured one-upmanship but, at worst, there can be willful sabotage.
Leo men and Aries women make an adrenaline-spiking match that is an enjoyable adventure for both parties. The ram and the lion have their ups and downs, but they certainly make best friends and soulmates in many situations. They share many of the same values and goals even if they differ on how best to achieve them. Life is truly an adventure in this pairing and the fires are set to burn for all eternity once they get together.
