Leo and Sagittarius personalities

Leo

A Leo is a born leader thanks to their inherent strength and forceful nature. They are fiercely confident and know the point of life is to live it to the fullest. Why bother doing anything halfhearted, or to pretend to be anything other than brave, bold and fabulous? They are eager to take on challenges, in part for the bragging rights. Leos want a mate who shares their passions as they want deep devotion and focused attention. Get out of the way if the Leo in your life has his or her heart set on something.

Sagittarius

Sagittarians are exceptionally fun and always up for a good laugh. They’re socially active, which makes sense: They’re usually instantly beloved and welcome in any room they find themselves in. While they generally skew happy-go-lucky, they still have that temper that characterizes fire signs. This temper flares when they meet someone close-minded, mean or negative. They love getting lost in a new area of interest or a conversation. Sometimes, this makes them easily distracted, but their confidence usually masks their lack of clarity.

Overall Leo-Sagittarius compatibility

Sagittarius and Leo are known as one of astrology's most naturally compatible pairings. Chances are, this relationship won’t feel like work. Instead, it will be a beacon of light in each person’s life.

They both understand each other's need for excitement, and share the same aversion to boredom. Leo brings charisma to the table while Sagittarius brings optimism. This forms a magnetic energetic connection. Plus, since they both value freedom, won’t see either sign trying to step on each other’s toes. The signs share a tremendous sense of humor so you will see them joking around often. Together, they will create memories.

Friendship

A dynamic and lively alliance is formed when you put a Sagittarius in the same room as a Leo. Growing up, these were likely the duo that adults will want to keep an eye on, because they could get into trouble (of the best variety). These two will create a strong bond marked by laughter and shared experiences.

Romance

Sparks fly when Sagittarius and Leo fall in love. These fire signs simply light each other up with love. The attraction is strong but the bond they form will be even stronger. They will not be bored, but rather completely entranced with one another. It's important to for these two to try and stay grounded amid the excitement, and remember the rest of their communities.

Marriage

Marriage between Sagittarius and Leo has the potential to get better and better. Leo is charming and likes to spoil fun-loving and optimistic Sagittarius. In return, Sagittarius offers Leo that which they don't give just anyone: Their commitment. They both value alone time and their own passions. They are also committed to personal growth as they navigate their marriage together. They should commit to taking their individual desire for growth, and applying it to their relationship so that they grow together. Together, they foster a union of warmth, generosity, and joy.

Colleagues

Sagittarius and Leo are the office's dynamic duo. Both fire signs share a natural enthusiasm for projects and want to achieve greatness at work. Sagittarius is not shy about taking risks — and believing the risks are going somewhere good. Leo is a natural born leader and will get everyone in line with their charisma. This creates an environment that is productive, inspiring and solution-oriented.
