Leo and Sagittarius: Your compatibility clicks and clashes

Where you click:
Fire sign fantasy fulfillment! Both Sagittarius and Leo are irrepressible party people, and together, you’ll work a room like A-list celebutantes. Passion is plentiful in this matchup—from your lively conversations to your red-hot romps in the sack. You’ll pump up each other’s confidence and inspire one another to take bold leaps, especially when it comes to your ambitious careers. 

Where you clash:
At times, Leo requires more attention than impatient Sagittarius cares to give. Sagittarius’ blunt comments can pierce sensitive Leo to the core. Although you make playful, adventurous parents, kids can try your patience and interrupt your adult playtime in ways you both resent. Hire a live-in babysitter or set up home base near grandparents so you can enjoy your much-needed grownup getaways. You’re both a bit overly optimistic when it comes to finances so install that money management software before you go on one of your notorious spending sprees.

Love and compatibility by element

Leo and Sagittarius are both fire signs

The heat is on! Your Sun signs are both in the element of fire. This exothermic combination can move from zero to soulmate in mere seconds, as you recognize a kindred spirit in this compatible astrology love match. But as quickly as your lusty wildfire blazes up, it can also sweep out of control…or go from sizzle to fizzle. Your tempers can be as scorching as your sex, so while you might set off an inferno in the sheets, your arguments can also be legendary. Remember: Civilization began when man learned to make, tend and control fire. It cooks our meals, keeps us warm, powers everything. But by nature, fire does not WANT to be controlled, and neither do fire signs. This relationship must leave room for individuality, exploration and autonomy within safe boundaries. Making and keeping a commitment has to be handled delicately, so as not to lose the spark or smother the flame.

As a same-element couple, you may need to make a conscious effort to not get stuck in a rut or even a competitive dynamic.

There are four elements in astrology: fire, earth, air and water. Each one plays an important role in the greater whole of humankind. A love match with someone from the same astrological element offers the comfort of familiarity. At last, you don’t have to explain yourself all the time! You both operate at similar speeds to a certain degree. As lovely as that is, it can also be “too much of a good thing,” causing your relationship to feel like a single track on continuous replay. After all, differences can be challenging in a good way because they push you both to grow.

As a same-element couple, you may need to make a conscious effort to not get stuck in a rut or even a competitive dynamic. Spending time with friends, coworkers or relatives of another element can introduce a more balancing energy. For example, a grounded earth sign can help two hotheaded fire signs look before leaping. An objective air sign reminds you to step back from your heated emotions and knee-jerk reactions. And a sensitive water sign can help you tune into your nostalgic side instead of glossing over your feelings.

divider-graylove and compatibility by quality or triplicity
Leo is fixed and Sagittarius is mutable

In astrology, the “qualities” or “triplicities” reveal the role you play in a relationship or collaboration. Are you a starter, a doer or a finisher? Do you like to take charge and have a plan, or do you prefer to go with the flow? In this love match, it can be hard to get in sync. Can we make a plan around here? Fixed signs crave stability and mutable signs love change. Compromise is key so you don’t drive each other crazy! The fixed sign in this relationship likes to make a decision or plan and stick with it. By contrast, the ever-changing mutable sign is always changing things—adding one more guest, jamming one more coffee date into their day, starting another project before they finish the 50 they already have going. When a mutable-fixed duo plays to their strength, the fixed sign can create a solid structure that upholds the mutable sign’s creative plans. Adaptable mutable signs help the fixed sign to be less rigid—to loosen up and go with the flow. For long-term success, the mutable mate will have to work harder at keeping their word, showing up on time and being consistent. Some plans are simply non-negotiable! In exchange the fixed sign will have to give an inch and be willing to try new things.

divider-graylove and compatibility by polarity

Leo and Sagittarius are both yang, or masculine signs

In astrology, every sign has a “polarity”: you’re either yin (feminine) or yang (masculine). You are both yang signs: aggressive, action-oriented and driven. In this astrology love match, you can motivate each other…or you can find yourself in a power struggle. Two yang signs must be careful not to bulldoze or tread on each other’s turf. Sharing the power and taking turns having the upper hand will be the key to your happiness.

divider-graylove and compatibility: your aspects

Leo and Sagittarius are trine (four signs apart)

In astrology love matches, we also measure compatibility by the aspect, or distance, between the two signs. Your signs are trine, or four signs apart. In this love match, it can feel like “home sweet home” The trine sign mate has the same element as yours (fire, earth, air or water), creating an unspoken kinship and harmony. At last—you don’t have to constantly explain yourself. You’ve never felt so comfortable, so understood on a core level. This is the person you can burp and pass gas around, or use the bathroom with the door open when they’re home. But don’t invest in a wardrobe full of elastic waistbands just yet. In trine relationships, you’ll need to preserve some mystery to keep things exciting. Make sure you stay active and on the go, and don’t do everything together. A little autonomy goes a long way to keep the passion alive.
