Worst match:
Scorpios - Leos always need to be the centre of attention and this for a Scorpio is a living nightmare.
They would rather spend time in their own company and have total control, something a Leo is not willing to give up that easily.
Taurus - In relationships there needs to be the right balance of both negative and positive characteristics.
This is an issue for Leo and Taurean relationships as they are both a little lazy meaning neither make the effort.

Which celebrities are Leos?
What is the Leo zodiac symbol?
Passionate, enthusiastic and ambitious, it's no wonder Leos are represented by a lion.
The lion is replicated in this glyph, with the circle representing the body and the swooping curved shape representing a feline's mane and tail.
The circular shape shown in this glyph is also said to represent the sun, which is the Leo's ruling element, while the curved symbol on top might be the moon.
Together, these create a balance in emotions and show how Leo can strike a happy medium between being led by the head and the heart.
Where does the Zodiac come from?
The Zodiac is the term used to describe the circle of 12 divisions of celestial longitude that are centred upon the path of the sun.
The 12 divisions share the names we know as our star signs.
The term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus - meaning "circle of animals".
Throughout history, the zodiac has been used to predict or echo characteristics of personality.
Leo colour, day and numbers
The number 4 is said to be lucky for Leo as are the colours red and gold. The most auspicious day is Sunday, which is not really surprising as Leos are luckiest when they're relaxed.
