She'll be impressed with his bravado and will make it her mission to get to know and understand what lies beneath the surface of his persona.
- Leo is ruled by the sun, which represents ego and vitality. A Leo man is self-assured, energetic, and generous, which makes him a great compliment to a Scorpio woman's deep and brooding emotions.^{[1]

A Leo man will be intrigued by a Scorpio woman's mystique. Scorpio is one of the most mysterious signs of the zodiac, which makes Scorpio women quite private (with their fair share of secrets). This will be a totally new phenomenon to the brash and showy Leo man, and he'll want to get to know someone so wonderfully different than him.
- Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet of secrets and transformation. This compels Scorpio women to be rather elusive and slow to get to know, which is the perfect challenge for a Leo man.

Loyal and generous with his love, a Leo man can pass these tests with flying colors. All he has to do is open up to her and commit to the relationship.

A relationship between such steadfast signs can actually be a wonderful opportunity for growth and transformation.

A private Scorpio woman may grow tired of Leo's need for attention. Scorpio women prefer to observe rather than be the center of attention, while a Leo adores being the star of the show. He may grow tired of Scorpio's need for privacy, while a Scorpio woman might resent Leo's need for attention (especially if it makes her jealous). These two will make their relationship work if they remember that these very differences were why they fell for each other in the first place.
- Leo is one of the most social signs, so they love to be surrounded by people. A Scorpio woman will benefit from understanding that this is simply his nature and not a sign that he's going to be unfaithful.
- A Scorpio woman can be a little possessive, but it's just because she loves her partner and doesn't want to lose him. A Leo can ease her anxiety by making her feel like a priority with regular dates and plenty of kind words.
