What draws them together

Air feeds Fire in a sextile that glows. Leo loves Libra's elegance and fairness; Libra loves Leo's warmth and certainty. The Sun shines and Venus arranges the light. Both love beauty, both love people, and both want a relationship worth showing off. Both are romantics who believe in love as an art, and they practise it on each other with pleasure.

What flows

Social life, beauty, and romance come without effort. They are gracious hosts and good company. Libra softens Leo's edges and Leo gives Libra direction. Both are generous, both are affectionate, and both forgive. Neither is petty, and the daily life between them is pleasant and warm.

Where they rub

Leo decides and Libra deliberates. Libra's indecision frays Leo's patience; Leo's dominance offends Libra's sense of fairness. Both want to be admired and neither wants to admire first on a bad day. From it Leo learns to share the stage and Libra learns to take a stand.

In love

Glamorous and tender. The attraction is quick and lasting; each finds the other beautiful. Libra gives the courtesy and Leo the devotion. It lasts when Libra commits and Leo shares. Romance practised deliberately keeps it alive, beauty made together, and admiration spoken aloud.

What each has to give

Libra must decide and stand by it, so Leo has a partner rather than an audience. Leo must share the light and treat Libra as an equal. Both have to put honesty above harmony when it counts, since both would rather be pleasant than plain.

Leo man and Libra woman

A Leo man and a Libra woman make an elegant couple, and they know it. He is drawn to her grace, her fairness and her taste; she is drawn to his warmth, his certainty and the way he decides without agonising. Air feeds Fire in this sextile, so her presence makes his flame burn evenly, and her Venus gives shape and beauty to what his Sun lights up. He gives her direction and generous devotion. She gives him courtesy, charm and a softness that rounds his edges. They clash when he decides for both of them and she weighs the matter for a week. Her hesitation tries his patience; his dominance offends her sense of fairness. On a bad day each waits to be admired first. It holds when he shares the stage and treats her as an equal, and when she takes a clear stand and keeps it. Evenings planned for romance, a home they make lovely together and compliments said out loud keep this pair glowing.

Libra man and Leo woman

The Libra man courts with charm and attention, and the Leo woman receives it as her due and returns it generously. She loves his grace and his fairness; he loves her warmth, her courage and the way she fills a room. His Venus and her Sun both rule beauty and pleasure, and in this sextile his Air keeps her Fire alive. With him she gains consideration, good company and a partner who listens; with her he gains resolve, devotion and a confidence he can lean on. The clash is about leadership. She knows what she wants at once; he weighs every side, and she takes his hesitation as a lack of passion. He, in turn, feels overruled when she simply decides. Both prefer to be admired, and both put harmony before honesty when they are tired. The bond holds when he states his preference and stands by it, so she has someone beside her and not only someone watching, and when she shares the light without being asked.
