There's no relationship quite as passionate as Leo and Sagittarius. Both Leo and Sagittarius are fiery, passionate, loyal, and playful. These common characteristics can foster a strong bond between the two; however, some aspects of these two fiery and fun individuals just don't click and without consideration can cause conflict that can either flame the fires of passion or put it out.
Assessing Leo Sagittarius Compatibility
Astrological compatibility is fairly complicated in that it draws principles from both the maxims, "opposites attract" and "like attracts like." Leo and Sagittarius are both fire signs, which make them attractive to one another. On the other hand, Leo is a fixed sign and is not easily moved, while Sagittarius is a mutable sign that resists being tied down.
Consider Mixing Fire With Fire
There is a reason why many astrologers ideally place fire signs with partners of the air element. Fire is an aggressive, assertive, and spontaneous force. When matched with the intellectually curious and upward energy of air, such forces tend to feed and nurture one another.
- Two fire signs may have an easier time understanding one another, but they may also have a difficult time dealing with each other. As an example, it's hard to make dinner plans between two partners who have two distinctly different ideas and are each equally passionate about what they want.
- Both Leo and Sagittarius can handle a fast-paced life, but sparks will fly when there is a conflict of interest. Certainly, this could be a problem for any couple, however, since fire signs Leo and Sagittarius are both passionate individuals. Two fire signs facing conflict don't tend to yield an easy or quiet resolution.
Consider How They Move or Don't
Leo is a fixed sign. This quality makes Leo prone to leadership, stability, and stubbornness. The combination of fire within a fixed quality is what fuels the infamous Leo ego. Leos love to lead, but a Leo leads to maintain control and rule. They love to tie down everything from ideas to people and need stability and time to figure things out. Any movement that threatens this stability will strike fear in the heart of a Leo.
Sagittarius possesses a mutable quality. Although this aspect of Sagittarius is more yielding than signs that are fixed, the fiery mutable nature of Sagittarius make for a somewhat complicated follower. Mutable signs are thrown into the world without a deep a sense of identity. Thus, they adore new information and view the potential for change as an opportunity to find out more about themselves.
A Leo, on the other hand, does possess a strong sense of self and has an inclination towards self-affirming introspection, while Sagittarius remains largely internally undecided and open. In short, Leos can be threatened by Sagittarius' love of exploration and need for the freedom to be, just as easily as Sagittarius may feel stifled by Leo's need to control and rule.
