Relationships

Lion

Are you a lion?

Lions are lazy, loyal to family and can be ferocious enemies if provoked.

1. The Lion and the Labrador share qualities of loyalty to family and both can be ferocious enemies if provoked. Both can be playful and both can be lazy. But the lion is likely to want to say in control and problems might arise if the Labrador ever tries to take the Lion’s share.

2. The Lion and the Swan make a passionate couple. They are both admirable in their own right and are used to receiving a lot of attention. Both are committed to family and the raising of young, but the Lion’s independence may ruffle the feathers of the normally calm swan. And the Lion may consider the Swan’s hidden activity as too underhand.

3. When 2 Lions get together – it’s noisy. Both are used to fighting for survival and if either feels under threat, they'll be quick to lock into battle. Deciding who will be king of the jungle will be an ongoing struggle in the relationship, unless they make time to enjoy their shared personality qualities.

4. The Lion & the Eagle make a good combination. Both are predatory animals who are used to staying alert and being aware of threats and dangers. Both are dedicated to rearing their young and both value independence. Problems will arise if one of them doesn’t feel ready to give the time required to build and develop the relationship. 

5. Some would rightly wonder how the timid Hedgehog and ferocious Lion ever got together. But it is the Hedgehog’s highly developed defence system that intrigues the Lion and the Hedgehog hopes that some of the Lions bravery might rub off on them. This couple can complement each other perfectly, both learning from each other’s strengths.

6. The Lion and the Otter are a great couple to know. The playful otter will bring out the Lion’s kitten side and together they will enjoy plenty of fun-filled times. But the Otter may feel that their hard-working nature is taken for granted and the Lion will have to learn to control their temper.

Whatever your personality, all relationships go through good times and hard times. The relationships that thrive are those where differences are faced head-on. Open, honest and respectful communication can help you to negotiate mutually acceptable ways around differences. Make sure you focus on the positives in your relationship and if problems do continue in-spite of your efforts to resolve things, get expert help as soon as possible to get you back on track.
