Aries and Leo are four signs apart (120°, a trine)
Natural harmony
Two Fire signs that admire each other's confidence. This is one of the most passionate pairings in the zodiac, provided both share the stage.
Why: the angle between Aries and Leo
Aries and Leo are four signs apart (120°, a trine). Signs four apart form a trine and share an element, so you value the same things and express feelings in similar ways. It is traditionally the easiest pairing in the zodiac.

Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Two Fire signs bring energy, passion and spontaneity. Life together is rarely dull; the task is taking turns in the spotlight and cooling down after arguments.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them: a good division of labor if neither tries to control the other.
Polarity. Both are active (yang: Fire or Air) signs, so your basic energy matches.
