Compatibility Horoscope for Leo woman and Leo man Fabulous family of Leos - what can be more beautiful and powerful? It is easy to spot them among other couples by how they behave, the elegant clothes they wear, their dignified posture and independent way of thinking. This couple is radiant since both partners have the sun for a patron. Compatibility horoscope for two Leos gives them a few pieces of advice which they should follow in order to avoid a catastrophe in their relations. Strong and proud, both of you want to lead and are thirsty for recognition. When on the same territory, the first and primary problem both of you will face is how to distribute your roles. There can't be two monarchs in the same state and it is unusual for a pride to have two leading lions, so it only makes sense for one of you to yield a spotlight to the other. Unfounded pride of both of you may blind each other and cause aggression in response - as a result your relationship that started out as a beautiful adventure may end as a complete disaster. If both spouses are Leo, they will be known to fight and argue more than others. Leo who is innately noble and kind at heart can easily become aggressive, impatient and angry in the moments of confrontation. Leo won't spare any resources to bring back his former glory. After some time together, as a rule married Lions eventual arrive at a mutual wise decision - to be equal partners in their relationship. But as soon as there are potential spectators, Leos do not miss a chance to solidify their superiority and resume old battles in their chase after everyone's acceptance. Neither male nor female Leo is ever false. Lie is against their nature - they will never have their genuine respect or true repulsion masked with sweet flattery. They will never resort to dishonest moves - they will always fight an open battle. Nature has appointed a male lion to be a king of animals and his lioness is always in the shade of his glory, but never too far. A lioness never rivals her lion; instead, in a humble and dignified way she carries out her mission of a guardian of Lion's kingdom. Things should be the exact same way in the relationship shared by two humans born in the sign of Leo. A woman-lioness should remember her female essence and become not only a lover to her man, but his friend, advisor, helper and someone to talk to. Compatibility horoscope states that Leo woman should be the first to learn patience and tact; then the relationship based on mutual respect won't need any fights or arguments for domination.
