Strengths as a Couple
The Pisces and Leo couple certainly has its quirks and gimmicks. One of them that is common in most strong couples is how they can prop each other up in terms of ability, range, skill, and personality.
In the case of the Fixed Fire and Mutable Water sign couple, it’s the personality cohesion that works wonders for them. Leo is infamously assertive and headstrong; they make good leaders and are great at directing themselves and their significant other along whichever path they choose to go down.
Meanwhile, the Pisces of the couple is the more reserved of the two. They’re more observant and introspective. They see things that Leo often has little time to notice, and has the necessary tact and finesse to explain to their partner the significance of these background events.
Another sign of a strong couple with a bright future is how receptive both parties are to each others’ teachings. In this regard, the Fixed Fire and Mutable Water relationship that Leo and Pisces share has another amazing edge. They see the wisdom in each other, albeit in very different ways.
First of all, Leo is a natural-born leader, and leaders are at their most effective when they’ve taken time out of their schedules to learn the ropes and manage the affairs that their less astute fellows would ignore. Pisces is one of the best teachers of the Great Wheel, not only for the scope and depth of their knowledge but also their ability to teach it.
Pisces can learn a lot by just being around Leo. Pisces are usually autodidacts; people capable of teaching themselves nearly anything through careful observation, reading, and other learning methods that don’t need an instructor. Not that Leo can’t teach them directly, but they learn so much just from watching and analyzing their partner.
Weaknesses as a Couple
There are a plethora of reasons why the Pisces and Leo relationship can fail to work out. They range from the simple to the truly complex. Starting from the simple, it’s the personality clash that can usually set them off.
For you see, the Fixed Fire Leo personality is one that demands to be in control and in a position of leadership. Because of this, if they turn toxic, the same reasons for why they’re good leaders can turn them into cranky, bossy, and otherwise intolerable characters attempting to control and manipulate others, something that most Water signs for all their adaptability will not kowtow to, Pisces is no exception and will reject the toxic nature of their partner with all their might.
Pisces itself is not blameless. It’s as flawed as the other members of the Great Wheel, and when it turns into a toxic form of itself, it becomes a directionless, dreary, and otherwise useless persona that can’t be whipped into shape by even the most determined Leo. Their emotions can be a major hindrance in this regard as well. Remember that Leo is one of the most passionate members of the Great Wheel whose temper is the stuff of legend. Getting into a shouting contest with them while they ride high emotions is one of the most stressful experiences one can have.
There are other divides that manifest themselves on a personal level. These are distinct from Leo to Leo, Pisces to Pisces, but they all draw from the same basic idea that Leo wants control, while Pisces demands freedom. If no compromises can be suitably leveraged, the entire relationship dynamic is in risk of collapse.
Compatibility
Romance
In the field of romance there are many struggles for the Pisces and Leo couple to overcome because, despite their affinity for love and romance, they are anathema to one another in this very field.
For starters, they make possibly one of the worst first impressions of anyone in the Great Wheel. To Pisces, Leo is the brutish, rude, and self-centered Lion of the Zodiac who can’t or refuses to form intimate relationships with anyone else.
For Leo, the Pisces lover is characterized as a weak and unfulfilling partner who has so much potential left inside of them that they are simply refusing to acknowledge them out of fear of what they become. This is a source of great frustration since Leo wants a capable partner, not a student they have to show the ropes to.
A major contributing factor to how easily the Fixed Fire and Mutable Water couple can so easily fall apart is down to the celestial body of Neptune. It is one of Leo’s governing bodies and is the Fall of Pisces. This is noteworthy, as the very factors that make Leo so strong is Neptune’s vision which allows Leo to plot, scheme, and acts the leader in most scenarios. It’s a detriment to Pisces, as when Neptune falls on them, their hope fades. For their plans, and for their relationships in particular.
Activities
The Pisces/Sagittarius relationship starts off very strong and confident. The big struggle for the Pisces and Leo when trying to find activities to occupy themselves with is finding one that suits their style best. Their Zodiac quality is what will decide this, and unfortunately for them, theirs couldn’t be more disconnected.
Leo is a Fixed sign. They want to experience new things. They will set aside time and work to do what they want to do. They will perform the chosen task to satisfaction. And while on task, they’ll pour their heart and soul into it.
Pisces is a Mutable time. They’re indecisive, but will follow others into their tasks. They will adapt to others’ schedules, cutting off and extending as their friends want to. And while they’ll usually have a passion for one or two things, that passion won’t translate to their other activities.
You can see where the problem lies. Leo wants a partner that can not only follow them, but direct their energy. Pisces appreciates the passion, but not the strict adherence to instruction. Unless they can find something they both feel passionately about, any activity they perform can easily stall and suffer
.
Communication
A blunt edge is what allows the Fixed Fire sign of Leo to tell others what they want and get their message across as quickly as possible. Bluntness is also Pisces’s greatest weakness, as this honesty often comes with the abrasive side that hits at Pisces’ emotions and shuts down the conversation.
This is the first big hurdle that Leo must overcome to coax their partner into a conversation. They need to be honest insofar as telling the facts of a situation while being diplomatic enough to not adversely affect their partner.
The converse is true for Pisces, then. They have to see beyond the hurtful words of Leo to see the true meaning behind them. And perhaps, put the truth over their feelings and go beyond those confinements.
If they can somehow do this, Leo’s passionate spark, and Pisces’ curiosity can propel the couple forward. Creating a space within their relationship where ideas and solutions are brought to the forefront, and advancement becomes a daily occurrence.
Values
Clarity and honesty are a fixture in the world of Pisces and Leo. Strange to be sure, but if you think about it it makes sense; Fire is a cleansing force in nature, and Water purifies the land and makes it fertile.
Truth and transparency then will be at the heart of both signs. It’ll be where their beliefs will be inherently based off. While their personal beliefs will possibly differ, they are similar enough to find common ground and agreement in what they believe are virtues and what makes a good person.
Emotions
The Fixed Fire sign of Leo is one of the most legendarily emotional members of the Great Wheel. Their emotions are loud and pronounced, usually manifesting as bravery, anger, passion, and service.
The Mutable Water sign of Pisces is much less pronounced than their partner but no less intense. Their intensity is much like running water; quiet on the surface, but chaotic underneath. It is why they’re often seen in contemplation, melancholy, art, and subtle physical gestures.
To the surprise of many, there will rarely be any fights between these two. Theirs is a world of calmness and quiet understanding. They realize that coexistence does not need victors and losers. That true feeling will come naturally and rarely need to be hurried along. If they truly do not belong to one another, that’s okay. That is the way the world works.
Healing Crystals for Pisces and Leo
Onyx
Conflict is something to be expected between these two signs. As such, even more, conflict is the least of what they’d want to have, especially those that are caused by unnecessary negative energy around them. Like barbed wires that keep them off each other, such negativity can prevent them from accepting each other’s differences.
Thus, they will need the help of Onyx. Known to be a powerful protection stone, Onyx wards off all the unwanted negative energies around us. Like an ancient totem that protects us from evil spirits, this healing crystal can block almost all sorts of negativity that can drain one’s personal energy.
On top of that, it also brings wise decision-making skills and inner self-discipline. Aiding in the cultivation of positive skills from the inside, its two-pronged approach is perfect for a holistic kind of development.
Pink Calcite
The mutability of Pisces and Leo can definitely work against them. And because they have conflicting elemental signs, having such volatility is a big problem for this pair. With that, finding the core reason for being in the same relationship is key in making it through.
Thus, given how these two signs are essentially different and even incompatible, at least to a certain extent, it is imperative for them to select a healing crystal that brings emotional acceptance and love to each other.
With that, Pink Calcite is the perfect healing crystal to keep things rolling. As a pink gemstone, it naturally caries the power of love and romance which is necessary to keep polar signs from breaking apart.
On top of that, its unique niche lies in its ability to lead its users towards emotional acceptance. In this way, all objections that this couple may have against each other will eventually be washed away as they move forward.
Crystal Quartz
Clearly, seeing each other eye-to-eye is one of the biggest roadblocks for this couple. Since Leo is a fixed fire sign, they will almost always stick to what they think is right. In contrast, Pisces may rely on something intuitive yet seemingly unreasonable, often throwing Leo off. As such, it is necessary for them to have that increased clarity with regard to their feelings and emotions.
With that, Crystal Quartz is definitely a great companion to be with. Known to bring clarity and take away confusion on the conscious and subconscious levels of our minds, this healing crystal is perfect for them to overlook the small things.
