Leo with Leo: sign compatibility

The aspect between the signs

The same sign twice is counted as a conjunction. Both people start from the same temperament, the same way of acting and the same ruling planet. The tradition reads this as recognition first, and as a shared blind spot second: neither supplies what the sign tends to lack.

Elements and modalities

Two fire signs share both qualities, hot and dry. They are quick to start, quick to warm up and quick to flare, and the tradition reads the pairing as energetic and impatient.

Both signs hold on: fixed signs sit in the middle of a season and resist being moved.

The rulers

The ruler is Sun, shared because the sign is shared: what it governs works the same way in both people.

Sun stands for: identity, vitality, purpose, will.

The two signs together

Leo tends to bring warmth: generosity, loyalty and a flair for making things an occasion. It tends to need appreciation, said aloud and meant.

Two proud, generous people, both wanting the middle of the room. Warmth is plentiful; the question is who yields when both need to be thanked.

What tends to come easily

• +Little needs explaining, because each knows the other’s reflexes.
• +Energy and enthusiasm match.
• +Loyalty and persistence on both sides.
• +The same planet drives both, so motives are easy to read.

What tends to cost something

• −The same weak spot is present twice, and neither person is placed to cover it.
• −Both flare, and neither is the one who cools things down.
• −Stalemates, because neither gives way.
• −Whatever the ruler overdoes, it overdoes twice.

What two Sun signs cannot say

Two Sun signs are a small part of two charts. The Moon, Venus, Mars, the rising sign and the houses of each person shape how a relationship goes, and so do age, circumstance and choice.

The aspect here is counted between signs, not between degrees. Two people born at the start and at the end of the same sign stand differently from two born at the same degree, and this page cannot tell which applies.
