When looking for a partner or when in a relationship, many people rely on the zodiac compatibility between the two sun signs, to presume which way the relationship is heading. Some people do it for fun while others have strong belief in astrology and thus, compare the traits and the qualities of the two sun signs before committing himself/herself to the relationship. There are in all 12 signs in the Zodiac, with each one representing certain common traits. Compatibility between the two zodiac signs depends upon the number of common qualities or traits they share. Leo and Aries are both fire signs and hence, share many traits among themselves, such as, both are extroverts, attention seekers, hardworking, status-conscious, egoistic, energetic, passionate and highly individualistic. Having so many things in common can be both advantageous as well as disadvantageous, at the same time. Let's discuss the compatibility between the two further. Advantages Great Sex Life... One greatest thing which will keep them bonded together is their sexual chemistry. Both of them have similar sexual needs and urges, and will sexually satisfy each other beyond words. Their strong sexual chemistry is bound to keep them together for a very long time. Common Interests... They have lots of things in common. Both of them being fire signs, tend to have similar interests and like the same kind of activities, people and places. A shared interests of Aries and Leos is their love of all things that are costly and luxurious. Having similar likes as well as dislikes gives them enough material to talk about, thus, keeping the relationship going strong, long after the sexual aspect has faded a bit. Young, Alive and Energetic Dispositions... Leo and Aries, both being fire signs, are always full of energy. They believe in doing things together, today, rather than leaving them for tomorrow. This unbound energy keeps them young, alive and kicking, and both of these together are capable of accomplishing lots of things. Freedom Loving... Both Leo and Aries are very individualistic and love their freedom, and both of these will let their partner be. They can both be very loyal and faithful in their relationship, yet in no way it means that they will cling to one another. They will give full freedom to one another and love each other very strongly at the same time. Strong Personalities... Leos and Aries both like to be the center of attention. They lay great emphasis on power and status too. Their strong personality enables them to handle each other's success very well. There is not even an iota of envy in both these signs if one of them becomes successful or comes in the limelight. Disadvantages Leos need a partner who constantly praises them, looks up to them and admires them. Aries, on the other hand, are blunt and to the point. They believe that if once they have told their partner, how good or handsome or worthwhile they are, there is no need to repeat it again and again. This might create a friction between them. Another drawback is that both of them are very strong signs. So if at all they have a fight or disagreement over something, they can bring down the roof literally with their words and actions. Both Aries and Leo are stubborn signs, so if they use this stubbornness to make their bond strong, this relationship has a huge potential. However, if they are stubborn in their dealings with one another, with either of them refusing to budge even an inch, they can prove to be a disaster, though this is a very rare case in compatibility between these two sun signs. There is no doubt that both these sun signs are highly compatible, although, one precaution that they should take when being with each other is that they should keep their egos in check. The Leos especially should refrain from influencing and pushing their ideas down an Aries throat, cause Aries is not going to be told, how to live his life. If such things are handled carefully, these sun signs can certainly make a very happy life together!
