Aquarius and Leo: Air and Fire are complementary elements that energize each other. Both are fixed signs, so they meet the world the same way and can lock horns over control.

What that means

This is a demanding pairing. Aquarius and Leo have to work at it consciously. The friction is there, and so is the room it creates for growth.
