The main risk is stubbornness and slow agreement on change.

Scorpio woman and Leo man — 75%
Usually there is no winner in a clash of characters: life together is not a very good battlefield in the first place.
ZodiacFights without rules92
Nevertheless, understanding this in their minds, in practice the maximalists Leo and the Scorpio woman are capable of turning their relationship into a real war of ambitions.
Alas, the strength of their characters is exceptionally great, and with respect to their couple the saying "the scythe has struck a stone" rings especially true.
In everyday life this often spills over into conflicts and confrontations, and the Scorpio woman can inflict far more painful wounds on the proud Leo than he does on her.
If the relationship is dear to Leo and the Scorpio woman, they should not forget that their union cannot do without patience and compromise.
Otherwise, their love front may end up with nothing but losers.

Quick answers
How compatible are Leo and Scorpio?
The overall score depends on which partner is which gender: the highest reading for this pair is 81%. Both directions are broken down above.
Are Leo and Scorpio good for a long-term relationship?
Check the "Long-term" score in the breakdown — it is calculated separately from the overall number and often differs from it in either direction.
Why are the scores different for each gender?
The underlying table is not symmetrical: a Leo woman with a Scorpio man and the reverse are described separately, because the roles in the pair read differently. That is why there are two readings above rather than one.
How much should I trust the compatibility score?
It is not a prediction or a diagnosis. The score shows where a pair usually finds things easy and where they tend to argue, and works better as a prompt to talk about expectations than as a measure of your odds.
