Drama therapy workshop in Jeddah explores healing power of expression
JEDDAH: A drama therapy workshop was recently organized under the theme: 'In drama we find the power to express, and in expression we find the power to heal,' at Cinema Al-Balad in Jeddah. Led by Lujain Faqerah, senior psychologist and creative arts supervisor, in collaboration with actor and screenwriter Abdul Al-Shareef, the workshop explored the use of drama therapy in daily life and creative work. Participants, including therapists, creatives, and others, learned how drama can support emotional awareness, healing, and connection. The workshop showed how drama-based therapeutic techniques can help people access unconscious behaviors, foster self-expression, and improve creative practices such as screenwriting and acting. Faqerah told Arab News: 'Drama is integrated naturally in our daily responses and situations. In a therapeutic setting, it helps us observe these interactions and reflect on a deeper level of our unconscious body gestures and movements that might reveal a lot about our personalities.' She made it clear that drama therapy is not about performing but about expressing what lies beneath — emotions, memories, or internal conflicts. Faqerah said: 'The word drama has a negative connotation to the extent that people reject it before trying. Drama therapy does not depend on acting skills or previous experience, but more on your self-expression and the challenges you experience.' Her discovery of drama therapy was transformative. 'It surprised me with the appearance of a hidden part of me that is more bold and confident. When this part emerged and I saw the benefits myself, I started incorporating it in my profession.' Al-Shareef brought a creative perspective as an actor and screenwriter new to drama therapy but interested in its techniques. 'As an actor and a writer, I found this experiment with drama supervision and therapy fascinating. It's a tool that I am willing to explore and learn more about to enhance my life and practice,' he said. 'Some people may think drama therapy is exclusively for artists, but it's not. The techniques can be integrated into everyday routines, varying from person to person depending on their challenges.'

Top 10: How would you change a spot in Hong Kong for teens, and why?
This week's question: What skill should every teen master before 18, and how can it be fun to learn? To take part, drop us a line via this form by 12pm on Wednesday, June 4 Jasmine Chau Tsz-ching, 15, Stewards Pooi Kei College: In Cheung Chau, we have a wire fence filled with love locks for couples. I would like to change this practice to a way for teens to express their anger. Teens could write down their dissatisfaction on the locks which allows them to release their troubles. Chan Hau-yin, 12, Immaculate Heart of Mary College: I would transform Kwun Tong Promenade into a combination of a food court and a library. Given its fantastic view, it is a perfect spot for teens to hang out, especially if there are free snacks like fish balls and spring rolls available. In the library area, people could enjoy reading novels or manga. Wong Pui-ho, 15, Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College: I will design a museum dedicated to the history of game consoles. This museum will not only showcase the evolution of game consoles but will also allow teenagers to try them out for free, helping them deepen their understanding of these gaming devices. Teens would enjoy learning about different video game consoles, one reader says. Photo: Shutterstock Lloyd Tse Chi-loi, 13, Stewards Pooi Kei College: All convenience stores could benefit from adding study corners. Since they sell food, I'm sure teens would enjoy studying while munching on snacks. Who knows? Maybe hard work can be paired with tasty treats and drinks. What would be your go-to snack while studying in that corner?

DSpace: The Ukrainian theatre company bringing community to the fore
When Dara Klymenko arrived in Yorkshire after escaping the war in Ukraine she had no idea whether she'd have to give up her love for the 26-year-old professional actress moved in with a host family in Malton in 2022 and began working at a nursery, but found she "couldn't live" without the creative Ms Klymenko is the founder and director of DSpace, a Ukrainian theatre group which performed at this year's York International Shakespeare Festival."I was amazed at how many people were interested. The main goal is to create a safe and inspiring space for self-expression. I call it a space of inspiration," she said. DSpace members span a wide range of ages - from primary school children to adults - and all are Klymenko had previously taught drama workshops to children, and decided to launch a similar venture in York, teaching classes in her native said she was "amazed" by the uptake and by the amount of Ukrainian nationals living around her, but struggled to find a suitable venue to host the the same time, she was invited to take part in Working Title, a project which united actors from national theatre companies in Ukraine with UK artistThrough this, she was introduced to David Richmond, senior lecturer of drama and theatre at York St John University, who offered a free space to rehearse at the city centre Richmond said: "The university has a policy of social justice and the creative arts have led on that for many years."We want to the support the Ukrainian community's creativity and expression and feeling of security and belonging."Dara is doing such good work in her community and in theatre so it seemed [providing space was] the ideal thing we could do to help, the ideal thing they need which is space and time to tell their stories in the way they want to tell them." The group rehearses for three hours each Monday evening and members travel from York, Selby and the surrounding area to some members are beginners, others have previous acting experience, often from their life in Ukraine before the 25, had completed his theatre degree at university and had started to secure some jobs before he moved to the UK. He explained that finding a theatre company that spoke his native language was important as it helped him find common interest in shared experiences."Because we are all people from one country, we have the same traditions, the same culture so it's easy to communicate so I'm happy to do this with Ukrainian people," he said."Sometimes it's difficult because of language. Most projects are looking for native speakers. But the York Shakespeare Festival was a new experience for me in theatre, and I was happy in the same way to act with Ukrainian and English people, and it was easy to connect."The play DSpace performed at the festival was called There's No Clock in The Forest, an original blend of Shakespeare texts and the Ukrainian play Mavka (the Forest Song). "For us it was a huge success – we had lots of audience members, from Ukraine and also from England as well," Ms Klymenko explained."Some people from the audience told me they started crying during the performance. Not because of the show but because they heard Ukrainian language, Ukrainian songs and it was so sensitive for them."The theatre group will be tackling another deeply personal project next - a new play, partially inspired by the Hollywood film La La Land, written by Ms Klymenko hope is that the theme can resonate, particularly with Ukrainian people, "to never give up" on their dreams."It was very important to me when I created [DSpace] that it was a safe space – it's about mental health as well, a place to express your feelings," she added."I realised I've got to keep doing this, because I need it, my team need it and the audience needs it."

Leo Compatibility: How Does The Star Sign Relate to Each Zodiac Sign?
Are you compatible with Leo? Leo's relationship with the zodiac signs may vary, since Leo's big personality needs room to shine in their connections. Keep reading to learn more about Leo and Leo's compatibility with the zodiac signs. Renowned as the lion, Leo is a fixed, masculine fire sign. Leo's fixed energy is stubborn yet steadfast, loyal but unyielding. The masculine energy directs Leo's persistence, which is why Leo is hailed for their motivational mindset and endurance. As a fire sign, Leo has a warm, vivacious presence. Leo's confidence radiates with optimism and joy. However, Leo's fiery energy can also be aggressive and hot-headed. Leo's fixed, masculine fire personality is a steady flame that never stops burning brightly. Ruled by the sun, Leo's luminary presence is captivating. The sun brings attention to Leo whether Leo likes it or not. Leo's solar personality is highly self-assured, self-aware, and self-focused. The sun's energy reinforces Leo's vitality, encouraging the lion to take up space, which may explain Leo's connection with the fifth house. The fifth house rules over self-expression, recreational activities, and romantic pleasure. Leo is associated with the fifth house because Leo's life purpose is to romanticize life. The fifth house's energy represents the joys of what life can create, from love to passion projects to children. Leo aims to live a well-rounded life by indulging in fun, sex, and creativity. Synastry illustrates Leo's connections with other zodiac signs, since Leo could be a star sign's lover, coworker, or friend. How do the star signs match up with Leo? According to astrologers, Leo's compatibility with any zodiac sign will be passionate. Leo might as well have invented love, since this fire sign is an unparalleled lover. Leo naturally aligns with romance, sex, and the heart, so it's unsurprising that the lion truly loves love. Having Leo as a lover can be an all-encompassing experience. Leo is demanding, passionate, and generous all at once. Loving Leo may feel like a telenovela, but Leo will never forget to make you feel special. All Leo asks is to love as deeply and openly, or else there might be drama. Woo the lion by tapping into Leo's love languages, which include words of affirmation, quality time, and grand gestures. Working with Leo could go one of two ways. Leo's creative spirit could lead to immense professional breakthroughs, allowing passion projects and hobbies to become much more. Leo's natural talents are commendable, allowing Leo to pave the way in artistic paths. While this is inspiring, it could also be the source of envy. Instead of feeling inspired, Leo's colleagues may dislike Leo's presence simply because they're threatened by it. Colleagues might also be annoyed with Leo's melodrama, pride, and ego if Leo is too big for their britches at work. But in the right professional arrangement, Leo's confidence and magnetism will be the start of something legendary. Befriending Leo will lead to one of the best connections you've ever had. Leo's friendship is affectionate, entertaining, and sincere. You'll never be bored around Leo, since the lion will find something to do. Leo will inspire new hobbies, creative outlets, and experiences. Although Leo will encourage recreational activities and artistic pursuits, Leo will also be mindful of everyone's comfort zone. Aside from having fun, Leo's loyal nature makes this fire sign a ride-or-die friend. Yes, there might be a time when Leo is self-centered. But Leo always makes up for this by being a reliable, charitable friend. According to traditional astrology, Leo is compatible with fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and air signs (Libra, Aquarius, Gemini). Why is this? From an astrological perspective, Leo typically has positive aspects with other fire and air signs. These aspects include conjunction, opposition, trine, and sextile. No one loves Leo like Leo. Leo and Leo form a conjunction, implying they are one and the same. Although this might be ideal for some Leos, others may require a similar but different vibe. Leo will also find a true pair in Aquarius, forming an opposition. Leo and Aquarius offer likeness in a relationship, since these star signs represent individuality, standing out in the crowd, and steadfastness. However, Leo will provide warmth, joy, and creativity, whereas Aquarius offers friendship, eccentricity, and freedom. Leo will find companions in fellow fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius. Leo shares a trine with the fire signs. Trines occur when a pair of star signs share the same element, creating harmony and likability. As a cardinal fire sign, Aries offers strong leadership skills and a go-getter attitude. Meanwhile, a mutable fire sign like Sagittarius brings flexibility, open-mindedness, and adaptability to a relationship. Regardless of who Leo chooses, Leo won't go wrong pairing up with Aries or Sagittarius. Additionally, Leo pairs well with Libra and Gemini, because Leo forms a sextile with these signs. Sextiles are positive, friendly aspects that bring two zodiac signs together despite sharing little in common. Leo might be drawn to Libra, because Libra is undeniably charming, sociable, and typically attractive. If Libra isn't available, Gemini's mischievousness and light-hearted spirit may also capture Leo's attention. Either way, Leo will surely be enamored with either air sign. However, astrology also says Leo may not be compatible with earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo) and water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). The astrological aspects between Leo and these other elements are not favorable. Depending on what Leo has with the other zodiac sign, it will be a square, semisextile, or quincunx, which is also known as an inconjunct. Leo shares a square aspect with Scorpio and Taurus, since Leo shares the same modality as these zodiac signs. Fixed signs are steadfast, loyal individuals who are hard to get going and equally hard to stop once they've started. However, Leo's fixed fire doesn't work with Scorpio's fixed water or Taurus' fixed earth. Scorpios' fixed water feels too emotionally intense, while Taurus' fixed earth appears immovable and dense. Leo may not totally agree with Scorpio or Taurus, but Leo can find common ground based on their shared modality. Leo may feel somewhat uncomfortable around Virgo and Cancer, since Leo has a semisextile with these signs. Semisextiles suggest having little in common, leaving the star signs with not much to bond over. Leo may feel semi-drawn to Virgo and Cancer, but there's not much opportunity for companionship. Virgo might be too organized, fussy, and nitpicky; Cancer comes across as too moody, sensitive, and clingy. Still, loyal Leo will stubbornly make it work if Leo wants Virgo or Cancer in their life. Similarly, Leo also has little in common with Pisces and Capricorn. Leo has a quincunx with these star signs, implying a blind spot in the connection. Leo may like the idea of Capricorn and Pisces, but Leo will still be mismatched with either star sign. Pisces may be too changeable, fantastical, and delusional; Capricorn could be too stoic, responsible, and conservative. But Leo will still find a way to keep Capricorn or Pisces around if Leo wants to overlook the disconnect in their synastry. Keep reading, and look for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. As lovers, Leo and Aries are undeniably charismatic. Aries will do anything to capture Leo's heart, which will be easy since Leo loves being fussed over. Sparks fly when these two fire signs fall in love. Their relationship is bright, loud, and expressive. Leo inspires Aries to indulge in hobbies and outlets, while Aries motivates Leo to be a go-getter. Their sex life is undeniably hot, as both fire signs are passionate lovers. Occasional clashes are typically easy to resolve, since Aries and Leo might secretly enjoy the melodrama. Aries and Leo have a promising romantic relationship. As coworkers, Leo and Aries are goofy yet productive. These two act like big kids when they get together at work. Coworkers will probably find Aries and Leo doing anything but their work. Although these two get easily distracted, they know how to motivate each other to get the job done. When the going gets tough, Aries and Leo rise to the occasion. Their shared ambition encourages one another to do the very best they can. Sometimes, this leads to a friendly competition, but Aries and Leo are mindful of not letting work get in the way of their friendship. As friends, Leo and Aries are best friends to the end. Regardless of time and space continuum, Aries and Leo will feel like they've been best friends since birth. These two have such complementary personalities and outlooks on life, so it will be nearly impossible to drive them apart. There will be times when Aries or Leo may neglect to address the elephant in the room, resulting in temporary tension. But neither fire sign fixates on the negative for too long, since they have so much to create, explore, and laugh about. As lovers, Leo and Taurus are together till death do they part. At first, Leo and Taurus will have an amazing relationship. Leo's warmth and generosity are what Taurus desires in a partner, and Taurus' stability and self-assurance ground Leo. As time passes, these two will likely find more fault within one another. They're both equally stubborn, since having a 'my way or the highway' attitude causes friction. Yes, the sex is likely amazing. Their personality clashes take away from their potential happiness. In spite of it all, neither Leo nor Taurus will end their relationship, perhaps out of loyalty or pride. As coworkers, Leo and Taurus either clash or complement each other. There's a fifty-fifty chance of this working relationship prospering. Leo brings a big personality, which Taurus may find inspiring or pompous. Taurus brings a 'steady wins the race' attitude, which Leo will agree with or absolutely despise. Even if they don't get along, they will likely still commend each other's commitment to the job. But if they get along, Taurus and Leo could be an unstoppable force of productivity and creativity. All they have to do is accept each other's professional differences to work together. As friends, Leo and Taurus are loyal to the very end. Although love and work are likely a miss, friendship is a hit for these two. Leo and Taurus have very little in common aside from being fixed signs, however, their fixed energy is what keeps their connection going strong. Leo's whole heart goes into friendship, and Taurus holds friendship in the highest esteem. No other star sign understands the meaning of friendship like these two. Leo's and Taurus' friendship prospers, because they're loyal friends who work hard to maintain their connection no matter what happens in their individual lives. As lovers, Leo and Gemini are giving high school sweethearts vibes. These two share an enthusiastic, youthful romantic connection. Gemini brings wit and spunk to the connection, while Leo provides playfulness and generosity. Their romantic relationship has light-hearted, easygoing vibes. If there's any drama, it's likely gossip about other people and relationships outside of their connection. Leo and Gemini rarely fight. The only problem they run into is Gemini's fickleness. Leo is loyal and self-assured, so Gemini's indecisiveness can be annoying. But it's nothing that would deter their romantic connection. As coworkers, Leo and Gemini are work besties. Gemini's loquaciousness will likely deter an otherwise determined Leo. They will have so much gossip to go over, so these two won't likely get much done if they work together. Despite being so chatty, Gemini and Leo have an amazing working relationship, since they rarely fight and typically play off each other's energy. Gemini and Leo might not understand why they're separated, because they have an amazing connection. But in reality, these two probably distract one another more often than they'd like to admit. As friends, Leo and Gemini are always getting into trouble together. These two friends play off each other's mischievousness. Gemini's curiosity and Leo's FOMO often lead these two into crazy situations. They're the kind of friends who do things for the plot, leading to last-minute adventures and wild night outs. Gemini and Leo don't back down from new experiences, so they will encourage one another to try something new. Although this could be fun, they have to be careful, or they may run into trouble. At least Leo and Gemini will share amazing memories of their time together. As lovers, Leo and Cancer are mismatched, but it can still work. Leo's the big baby of the relationship, which activates Cancer's parental energy. At first, this dynamic may work. Cancer likes nurturing their partners, and Leo loves being fussed over. As time goes on, this dynamic will create a one-sided relationship. Cancer's needs won't be met if Leo's the one who's primarily doted on, leading to passive-aggressive remarks and jabs. These two may wind up with more drama than romance or passion. If Cancer and Leo want to work, they need to have a reciprocal connection. As coworkers, Leo and Cancer shine brightly together. These two luminaries play off each other's vibrancy. Leo and Cancer help distinguish each other's talents, strengths, and more in a work environment. Cancer brings out Leo's self-expression and artistry by providing a safe space to develop new concepts. Leo encourages Cancer to be the intuitive professional leader a workplace needs to foster empathy and connection. There might be times when Leo and Cancer don't quite understand each other's processes, but these two give each other room to flex their professionalism. As friends, Leo and Cancer are unexpectedly ride-or-die for one another. The love these two have for each other is more platonic than romantic. Their friendship dynamic is eerily similar to their romantic one, but it happens to work better since neither Leo nor Cancer is in love. Cancer lets Leo be dramatic, attention-seeking, and self-concerned without a second thought. Leo gives Cancer space to be moody, sensitive, and clingy. They innately understand each other's feelings better as friends, knowing when to give someone a hug or space. As lovers, Leo and Leo have a relationship worth televising. There's never a dull moment. Their romantic connection is a whirlwind of emotional and sexual chemistry. Leo and Leo won't be able to stay away from one another, given their magnetic attraction. However, both Leos will want to be the center of attention in the romantic relationship. Leo and Leo must learn to take turns, or there will be drama. Neither lion can hog the spotlight, so they must learn to shine together. If they do, Leo and Leo will have a lasting relationship full of passion, fun, and imagination. As coworkers, Leo and Leo will compete to be the very best. Their working relationship could be insanely productive, since Leo and Leo will strive to out-do one another. They match each other's ambitions, confidence, and courage. However, the catch is that Leo and Leo must have a friendly competition for their working relationship to prosper. Their professional successes shouldn't truly rival one another. Boasting, hogging the spotlight, and trying to be better than the other will surely dampen their working relationship. As long as they're self-confident, Leo and Leo will shine together. As friends, Leo and Leo can go either way. These two will share an undeniable bond deepened through shared hobbies and passions. As Leo and Leo deepen their friendship, they must learn to share. Leo and Leo need to make room for each other to have their moment. Aside from their personal connection, Leo and Leo need to let each other have other connections outside of this friendship. They cannot let their loyalty become possessive and jealous. Maintaining a healthy companionship will lead to lifelong friendship. If not, they might have a short, intense connection. RELATED: Hot Take: Dating The Same Zodiac Sign Is a Power Move As lovers, Leo and Virgo are great in theory, poor in application. On paper, Leo and Virgo are each other's dream partner. Leo offers the confidence, self-assurance, and innovation Virgo seeks. Virgo presents the organization, selflessness, and grace Leo desires. But as these two deepen their connection, they will realize their romantic expressions and gestures are mismatched. Leo might feel scrutinized by Virgo, and Virgo might get tired of the Leo show. This romantic duo will try their best to make it work before going their separate ways. As coworkers, Leo and Virgo could inspire professional greatness in each other. At first, Leo and Virgo may not understand how they were paired up in a professional environment. Their different skill sets, work ethics, and more don't exactly align. However, there's immense potential for professional success. Leo has the bravery to be the face of the operation, and Virgo has the brains to be behind the scenes of the operation. With Virgo's strategic mind and Leo's creative force, these two could be unstoppable once they tap into each other's strengths. As friends, Leo and Virgo are an unexpected yet lovely duo. Where Leo and Virgo falter romantically, they strive platonically. Everything they love about one another exceeds in a friendship. Virgo's careful, no-nonsense energy is what dramatic Leo needs to get grounded. Leo's vivacious, outgoing spirit inspires Virgo to come out of their shell. Their friendship will be built upon mutual admiration, trust, and shared responsibility. Neither star sign will let this connection go without giving it their best shot, making them strong candidates to be lifelong friends. As lovers, Leo and Libra are uber-romantic. Both star signs deeply cherish and value romantic love, making them an almost perfect match. Leo's undying loyalty and chivalry are what Libra has always dreamed of. Libra's grace and poise will make Leo swoon. These two ultimately represent each other's ideal romantic partner. Although they tick off many boxes, Leo and Libra have to remember that nobody is perfect. Leo and Libra should be careful of putting one another on a pedestal. As long as they are realistic about each other and their connection, their love should flourish. As coworkers, Leo and Libra might do better as work friends instead of business partners. Neither Leo nor Libra likes being the bad guy at work, so these two may not have a good leadership dynamic. Libra likes to keep the peace, and Leo wants to remain popular. These two will also struggle with making timely decisions as leaders. However, their working relationship will prosper as teammates or colleagues. Without the pressure of managing others, Libra and Leo will thrive working together. They both enjoy being sociable, collaborative, and outgoing, making them a strong team. As friends, Leo and Libra are a well-known duo. Their friendship gives them status. Leo's usually popular, and Libra's typically well-connected, so their friendship should be socially beneficial. But neither star sign goes into this friendship with the intent of using one another for clout. If anything, the notoriety that they give one another is a nice addition to an already affable relationship. Leo and Libra are always down to hang out, go to each other's events, and meet new people. They're both extroverted individuals, so their outgoing personalities shine when Leo and Libra come together. As lovers, Leo and Scorpio will both want to be the one who got away. Their romantic compatibility may feel fated. Leo's charm will put Scorpio at ease. Scorpio's brooding intensity will resonate with expressive Leo. Their connection is fierce, but their differences might be too much. Scorpio may not always like how friendly and social Leo is, especially if Scorpio is possessive of Leo. Meanwhile, Leo may feel like Scorpio intentionally curtails how much fun they can have out of moodiness. Despite having remarkable chemistry, Scorpio and Leo might not be each other's endgame. As coworkers, Leo and Scorpio probably should work entirely different jobs instead of together. These two fixed signs will have a 'It's my way or the highway' attitude, which won't work if they need to work together. Scorpio might be obsessive about how to do something, curtailing Leo's creativity. Leo might be overly proud and bombastic throughout the workday, annoying Scorpio. These two aren't compatible as colleagues or business partners, because they're unwilling to work equally as teammates. Despite not having compatible work processes, Scorpio and Leo can at least commend each other's persistence, dedication, and loyalty. As friends, Leo and Scorpio are platonic soulmates. Scorpio and Leo have a noteworthy friendship. The mix of fire and water is emotional, allowing Scorpio and Leo to be vulnerable with one another. Neither star sign will chastise the other for feeling deeply since Scorpio and Leo are prone to reactivity. Aside from being each other's emotional safe spaces, Scorpio and Leo will never have to worry about disloyalty and dishonesty. Their friendship is profound and true, which is why Scorpio and Leo have an unbreakable bond. As lovers, Leo and Sagittarius will have a fun-loving, flirty fling. These two fire signs will fall for one another instantly. Leo's self-assurance will be a turn-on for Sagittarius, since Sagittarius will want to be with a proud, confident star sign. Sagittarius' zest for life will inspire Leo, as Leo strives to be with a partner who wants to live life to the fullest. Despite having a strong bond, loyal Leo will want commitment from mutable Sagittarius. If so, their connection will stand the test of time. But if not, they may break up if Sagittarius chooses freedom over love. As coworkers, Leo and Sagittarius easily distract one another. Sagittarius is probably one of the only signs to sway determined Leo from staying on track at work. The centaur will encourage the lion to ditch work for adventure, pranks, and other nonsensical fun. But if Leo feels strongly about an objective, Leo might be the only star sign to get Sagittarius to focus. However, this may seldom happen. The only way these two will be productive is if they work in a fast-paced environment where they must stay on their toes. As friends, Leo and Sagittarius can get through anything as long as they have each other. These two have a true friendship that stretches across time and space continuum. Leo's stability is unwavering, providing a foundation of loyalty and trust in their friendship. Sagittarius' easygoing mindset creates a foundation of understanding when life gets in the way, and friendship takes a backseat. No matter what has happened or how far apart they are, Leo and Sagittarius will never have to worry about their friendship. When they come together, it will feel like no time has passed. As lovers, Leo and Capricorn are a power couple. Most wouldn't expect these two to fall in love since their synastry suggests not quite seeing and understanding each other. However, Leo and Capricorn have very similar outlooks on what their romantic relationship should provide and work toward, which is why they are ultimately compatible. Leo offers courage, chivalry, and sensuality; Capricorn offers perseverance, strength, and authority. When their worlds collide, Capricorn and Leo see the potential to create an empire from their love. Family, estates, and more will be their romantic legacy. As coworkers, Leo and Capricorn will dominate whatever they do if they do it together. Their professional connection might seem initially mismatched, but Capricorn and Leo know their potential. Leo brings innovation and bravery, inspiring Capricorn to be more creative with professional opportunities. Meanwhile, Capricorn has the skills to erect a solid foundation for Leo's ideas, projects, and hobbies. When these two come together, they feed off each other's power. They have the potential to create something entirely new, such as a product or business, that could rule the professional world. As friends, Leo and Capricorn don't quite get along. While love and work are ideal, friendship is not. Leo's the friend who's clownish, dramatic, and energetic; Capricorn's the friend who's mature, quiet, and respectable. Their personalities don't mix well. Leo prefers light-heartedness and fun, whereas Capricorn requires stability and responsibility. They can try to make it work, but Capricorn will likely tire of Leo's proud, if obnoxious, ways. Likewise, Leo won't enjoy being around a stuffy earth sign. Unfortunately, their friendship doesn't nearly translate as well as a romantic or professional connection. As lovers, Leo and Aquarius have a 'best friends to lovers' story. Their romantic relationship might not be a whirlwind. Leo likely pursued Aquarius, who wanted to move slowly. Luckily, neither Leo nor Aquarius were going anywhere once they met each other. All their love needed was time to establish their friendship before taking it to the next level. But once Aquarius and Leo are ready for the next step, they will never look back. Their love connection is freeing and wholly authentic, as Aquarius and Leo love each other for who they are. As coworkers, Leo and Aquarius complement each other's professional strengths. Both star signs offer similar skills and talents: innovation, sincerity, endurance, and loyalty. However, each star sign brings slightly different personalities to the table. There's a balance between them, as Leo's vibrancy and emotionality offset Aquarius' detachment and coolness. Their hot and cold energy might make them the perfect 'good cop, bad cop' duo in their workplace. Regardless, Aquarius knows how to cool Leo down, while Leo knows how to amp Aquarius up. They know what each other needs when either professional feels stuck with their work. As friends, Leo and Aquarius fit together like puzzle pieces. These two go together seamlessly. Similar to love, their friendship is genuine and free. Leo and Aquarius give each other space to be themselves. Aquarius doesn't worry about appearing weird and wacky, and Leo won't worry about being theatrical and boisterous. Leo and Aquarius accept one another without judgment. Their connection is like-minded since Leo and Aquarius will provide a safe space to divulge their interests, passions, and hobbies. Given they're both insanely loyal, neither star sign will doubt the depth of their connection. As lovers, Leo and Pisces will want to outdo each other's romantic gestures. Both star signs are notably romantic. Pisces will gush over how much Leo means to them and how amazing Leo is, which is what the lion wants to hear.
