The dynamic
How Leo and Pisces get on
In astrology, Leo and Pisces form a quincunx, an aspect of awkward adjustment. Leo is fixed fire, ruled by the Sun: confident, warm and decisive. Pisces is mutable water, ruled by Neptune and Jupiter: intuitive, romantic and about as easy to pin down as a fish in the hand. Fire and water make steam. You two are a love story with a lot of feeling and a slightly unclear plot.
Where you click

Leo protects Pisces and lends them confidence. Both of you are generous and soft-hearted, and both believe love should be a little cinematic. The early months often feel like the opening of a film.
Where you'll clash
The clash is reality. Leo wants direct answers and decisive plans; Pisces drifts, avoids confrontation and changes their mind. Leo's bluntness can bruise Pisces, who absorbs it silently and then disappears for a day. Pisces's sensitivity can feel to Leo like hard work. Leo wants applause; Pisces sometimes just needs someone to sit with them and say nothing.
Love

Romance can be lovely: Leo plans the grand gesture, Pisces writes the poem about it. Sex is tender and imaginative, with Leo bringing passion and Pisces bringing emotional depth and fantasy.
