Leo and Libra — the verdict
Charm meets warmth, and the result is a couple everyone else enjoys being around. Libra genuinely admires Leo, which is the fastest route to a Leo's loyalty, and Leo decides things Libra would rather not have to. This sextile is socially effortless; its weak point is that neither one enjoys the unglamorous maintenance work of a long relationship.
