♌ Leo + ♎ Libra · fire and air · two signs apart

Leo and Libra compatibility

Sunlight and good manners, and everyone wants to sit at this table.

Leo: July 23 – August 22. Libra: September 23 – October 22.

Are Leo and Libra a good match?

Tradition calls it a good match, with one warning: it is so pleasant that the real conversation can wait for years.

I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.

What draws you together

You share a love of beauty, company and being in love. Leo brings warmth, Libra brings charm, and you are two of the most flattering people the other has ever met.

The hard part

Libra avoids the hard conversation, and Leo avoids being wrong. You can look wonderful together while something quietly goes unsaid. Libra's friendliness can also wound Leo's pride.

How your signs sit on the wheel

You sit two signs apart, a sixty-degree angle astrologers call a sextile. The tradition counts this as friendly: your elements feed each other without either having to become the other. The door is open, but it asks to be walked through.

Air feeds fire. One of you brings the spark and the other brings the breath, and together you tend to feel more alive than you do apart.

One of you starts things and the other keeps them. That is a working partnership, as long as neither mistakes it for a contest of wills.

What each of you is really asking

Leo is asking: Do you see me, truly, when the room is empty? Leo brings warmth and fears being ordinary in the eyes of the one who matters.

Libra is asking: Will you still be here if I stop keeping the peace? Libra brings grace and fears being the cause of the rupture.

The desire under the question

Each of you wants to be the most loved person in the room. Ask who you are when the guests have left.

Finish this line, privately

I want ___ ; I accept ___ ; I will not surrender ___ .

Fill it in about this person. Whatever you write first is usually the truth.

Both of your dates

Two signs are only the first line.

Bring both birth dates and I'll set your signs side by side, free. If you want to stay a little longer, the Lovers' Ledger opens both charts, the pull between you, and the conversation you keep not having. One reading, $14.
