Step 1: What are Leo's Traits?
Leos are born between July 23 - August 22. As fire signs, their strongest gift is their ability to inspire. Leos are extroverts - spontaneous, playful and upbeat and confident. On a deeper level, they are self-sufficient, honest and loyal, with a giving nature. Leos are creative and enthusiastic.
At their worst, fire signs can completely overwhelm others. Leos can be quick to anger, and overly sensitive to personal criticism. They tend to be stubborn. Pride and dominance combine with idealism and render Leo "pig headed" at times. This is especially bad in tandem with the fact that Leo is a poor judge of character. Leo has a weak side - all that self-assuredness can evaporate into fits of anxiety regarding relationships. Leo is not a particularly complex personality and is easy to read. Leo is deeply wounded by criticism and hostility.
Step 2: How does Leo find a Compatible Partner?

However, when fire signs battle for dominance, life can be filled with negative drama. To go the distance, Leo must establish a strong foundation of friendship and respect with Aries and Sagittarius.
Leo and Aries: It is essential that neither one take the other too seriously.
When making love, Leo is passionate and eager, but not very creative. Aries is fiery and romantic. Aries is optimistic, Leo is good-hearted. If neither tries to dominate, this should be a long-lasting happy partnership.

They enjoy one another's company. Leo is a freedom lover, so is Sagittarius. Jealousy rarely complicates their life together.

Step 3: Signs for Leo to Avoid
Since the Sun rules Leo's nature, Leo’s personality is dynamic and attractive. It's important for Leo to assess the attraction and not be swayed by attention. To optimize compatibility, Leo is greatly assisted when knowing who to steer clear of.
Leos clash with Taurus and Scorpio. Leos don't really understand Cancer's or Virgo's styles of expressing emotions. It's hard for Leo to find a reason for an attraction with Capricorn or Pisces. Life can be fairly harmonious with Gemini or Libra. Opposites attract with Aquarius.
