Over time

How a Leo–Scorpio relationship usually unfolds

  1. At first. Magnetic and intense; Leo radiates, Scorpio watches, and each recognizes a strong will in the other.
  2. Once settled. Two fixed signs with strong views; loyalty runs deep, and so does the refusal to back down.
  3. What keeps it working. Agreeing that losing an argument is allowed, and keeping jealousy out of everyday decisions.
