Leo and Pisces — the verdict
A quincunx between fire and water with nothing structurally in common. Pisces admires Leo easily, which Leo loves, and Leo protects Pisces, which Pisces needs. But Leo needs a partner who is visibly proud and clearly present, and Pisces is elusive by nature — so Leo often ends up performing for someone who is somewhere else entirely.
