Strengths as a Couple
If all good relationships are founded upon similarities, then this particular coupling of the Leos has an advantage indeed. The primary reason for this is that you already have so many similarities to work with that you only really need to smooth any existing rough edges for you to have a great time.
One of them is that both Leos are of the fire sign, which means you are both great at starting new trends, inside jokes, or activities which could lengthen your relationship’s lifespan. Both signs are also great at motivation, which means if one of you is feeling blue or lost in your own thoughts, the other can provide the necessary support to get things going again.
Another strength worth mentioning is the fact that you're both fixed signs. Unlike the cardinal and mutable signs, the fires Leos remain strong and are not easily snuffed out. When they fall in love, they give the relationship everything they've got, and they will do everything within their power to ensure that the relationship becomes a meaningful experience for both of them.
Thirdly, Leos are very social and lively, and they will often bring new topics to the table. Unlike other match-ups, two Leos almost never get tired of talking to one another because they draw their energy from spirited conversations. They consider dialogue as a healthy, intellectual exchange of ideas and will not shy away from risqué or uncomfortable topics if it means furthering their knowledge of reality and how the world works. This also makes them a stable team, as they will fan each other’s passions until the task at hand is finished.
Overall, nearly nothing can give pause to a relationship made entirely of two Leos. True to their kingly stature, they are both proud and protective of their romance; anything or anyone that tries to destabilize it will realize all too quickly how difficult these two are to break.
Weaknesses as a Couple
Unfortunately for these two signs, nothing in life is ever maintained by pride or devotion alone. On the contrary, sometimes, it is actually their pride that can bring about the fall of an otherwise wonderful romance, and since we’re talking about one of the proudest signs in astrology, one can only imagine the sort of scenarios that could come up when the partnership goes through a bit of a rough patch.
For one, arguments will always be heated and impassioned. Just as lions are extremely protective of their own territory, so too are Leos protective of their own pride. To them, pride is the foundation of their existence and the very thing that allows them to pursue their individual passions. In other words, if arguments get too personal and they start pointing out their weaknesses to offend the other party, it can really shake the relationship's foundation to its very core.
For this exact reason, arguments will also be frequent: both sides like to assert dominance over one another, and anything less than surrender could be seen as a challenge to their righteous authority. In less stressful situations, you can count on them to be relaxed and have intelligent conversations, but when their integrity as individuals are pushed, they will find it difficult to express their mutual pain-- and will often fight each other for control over the relationship.
Overall, their main weakness as a couple is that both are too proud to just be honest with each other, and they will often let negative feelings simmer until they erupt in big arguments, which can really hurt the stability of their partnership. The only way for these signs of overcoming the obvious implications of their pride is for them to learn to lower themselves when needed.
Compatibility
Romance
In romantic affairs, the two signs live in a sort of paradox. Both are wonderful and active lovers, but because of their fixed nature, they are insistent on sealing those passions away for the right moments. They will not use the act of making love to satisfy one’s baser urges, but rather as a genuine, even sacred moment to solidify the love they have for one another. In other words: true to their modality, they will make sure that their love is also fixed and strong.
As such, sex for Leos may have to be a gradual affair: they must first connect at an intellectual and emotional level before they get close enough to each other. Further, they will also need to slowly show their deepest insecurities to one another until they’re able to truly accept their flaws, as Leos only do they act when they're sure they can trust the person they're making love with.
This is because what Leos really want to see is a strong sense of commitment. When they give their consent, it is from a position of power: sex is a matter of personal honor to them.
Activities
Being that they are fire signs, Leos are vibrant and will always try to make the most out of any situation. They are perfect for boring days because their social skills will allow them to almost magically come up with a topic that both will be very interested in.
In addition, because it's two Leos interacting with each other, the other party will naturally be receptive to the other Leo's attempts to bring something new to the relationship. Leos are also known for being extremely dynamic and action-oriented, so activities including cooking, jogging together, and even cleaning the house together are always options!
Two Leos together rarely sigh in boredom, so if you're in a relationship with another Leo, you're definitely all set to have a fun time. You need only ask your partner, and you'll be coming up with ways to defeat inactivity in no time.
Communication
Generally speaking, communication between two Leos will always be great. They naturally bring life to boring discussions and are good at simplifying esoteric concepts, so there’s always going to be room for fun even in something as simple as idle chatter or gossip.
However, things are not always going to stay simple. While Leos are very good at communication, they will often do so to get their way in negotiations and arguments, so neutrality will almost definitely not be a thing in this relationship.
They're also rather enclosed when it comes to their darkest attitudes. For Leos, appearing strong is everything because strength is what brings reward and victory. Discussing any emotional weakness will, therefore, be difficult, especially when two of them are involved. One of them will have to look past their prejudices and be honest to confide with the other in times of emotional distress.
Values
While Leos are proud individuals, they know their priorities well. For example, they may fiercely defend their egos in an aggravating situation, but when there’s a friend in need or if the situation calls for it, they will always defend that which they deem to be their home-- in this case, the relationship-- even at the cost of their own pride. After all, pride can be repaired, but a relationship can be destroyed forever.
In other words, the relationship between the two Leos is strong because they realize that being part of something better is always more important than the strength of one's ego.
That being said, they will still do anything to preserve their self-worth, so there might still be points of contention in the relationship. To be safe, couples will need to set firm boundaries so they can figure out when to prioritize themselves and when to set aside personal differences.
Emotions
The astrological Lion's affinity for Fire effectively means that Leos are highly emotional creatures. More specifically, any gesture of kindness will not be forgotten or set aside. Similarly, however, any affront on their person will not be taken lightly.
The former makes Leos highly treasured partners, especially to other Leos, because any goodness they bring forth will surely be returned several times over. In fact, some Leo-Leo relationships even try to outdo each other in kindness because of their own pride. It’s comical, yet very healthy for a relationship that’s sure to last.
The latter, however, makes both of them volatile. Granted, it isn’t easy to offend Leos because they’re jolly people, but it would be beneficial for both parties to not push each other’s buttons, especially when things aren’t so good between the two of them.
Healing Crystals for Leo and Leo
Dolomite
As a healing crystal, Dolomite is known to bring patience and spiritual calmness. With its unique healing properties, this gemstone is known for its unique ability to help its users become more pragmatic and simplistic in the way they think, often leading to a better exchange between others.
Considering the case of Leo and Leo, one issue where they will clash is when one overpowers the other. Like lions, an unregulated pair of Leos will end up clawing on each other instead of learning how to balance their dominance.
With that, this healing crystal will surely help remedy the situation. By calming down the already vibrant energies of a pair of Leos, this will allow them to properly assess things in a calm and respectful manner towards each other.
Jade
As a green healing crystal, this one brings balance to the user. Generally used as a bodily or household ornament, a Jadestone will ensure that you are taking into account a more balanced approach in life.
Generally speaking, a relationship between Leo and Leo has its own share of problems when they forget to respect each other, particularly in bed. Both having animalistic tendencies, one’s overenthusiasm on their partner can cause misunderstandings. Although these are definitely addressable, prevention is always better than cure. Thus, cultivating balance within the relationship aids greatly in their interpersonal dynamics.
With that, having a Jade bracelet is often the best way to do it. Apart from imparting its own low-frequency energies, a couple bracelet with a Jadestone will constantly remind the other person about the unique bond of partnership and cooperation that they share with each other.
Black Tourmaline
Given the emotional nature of both signs, it is easy to say that a hint of negativity is more than enough to throw them off. Since negativity can affect them in ways that are stronger compared to how it affects other signs, this couple should be careful of catching a few bad fights and turning it into silent grudges against each other.
But in this case of a pair of Leo, silent wars won't happen. Instead, you'd see them roaring at each other, like lions that are insisting on their territorial rights. In the same way, the relationship is often seen as a common territory, whose balance often resides in whoever has the power to tilt its scales.
With that, Black Tourmaline is a great crystal companion for them. Taking away the negative energies before it even grows, this healing crystal will work its wonders in the background. Instead of fighting over small things, unnecessary quarrels between these two will be avoided.
