Sagittarius and Leo Compatibility

There are numerous types of relationships to explore when considering compatibility between two signs. We grow up in a parent/child dynamic. Outside our family, we form friendships with other children and eventually other adults. We look for and find love. And, we go to work and have careers, interacting with employers and co-workers.

Each sign-to-sign interaction guides our behavior in every relationship. Read through this section to find out how each of the above dynamics works astrologically so you can experience the optimal way to communicate and get along with your sign and all the other signs.

Generally Speaking

The Leo-and-Sagittarius relationship is a fun and exciting one if the egos do not get out of hand! As the “I perform” sign of the Zodiac, Leo is competitive, playful, and confident. Sagittarius is the “I expand” sign of the Zodiac, and loves to explore, share, and adventure. A long-term relationship (outside parent/child) is very likely since both will enjoy feeding off the energy of the other. Both signs have no problem taking center stage; the stage just needs to be big enough to accommodate them.

Leo Parent/Sagittarius Child

The Leo parent and Sagittarius child relationship will be filled with a lot of fun and adventure if the Leo parent is doing well in life and can be generous with his or her children. In the best-case scenario, the Sagittarius child will have a parent who wants to take them on adventures and help them learn to love life. The Leo parent will enjoy having a child who is willing to go out and take on the world, a fiery spirit lighting up life just like the parent.

Sagittarius Parent/Leo Child

The Sagittarius parent and Leo child dynamic is just as good when the parent is a positive figure, embracing his or her role as the teacher and life guide. The Sagittarius parent can be a guiding light regarding belief, wisdom, and mastery of knowledge, which the Leo child can readily experience through performance and creative efforts. If the Leo child gets to go on adventures with the parent and build lasting memories, it can be a strong family relationship. But if the Leo child gets “left behind”, then real gaps in the emotional connection can occur, which the Leo child will feel acute and express negatively.

Leo Friend/Sagittarius Friend

Leo and Sagittarius friends can turn out to be a “whole lot of trouble”! There really is no limit for these two when they set out to do something, go somewhere, or try something. This friendship is a fire-on-fire scenario, which can be a beacon of light for all to gather around and enjoy or a flaming meteor consuming everyone in its path. The two will easily amplify each other, making it a friendship with many, many crazy stories.

Leo Lover/Sagittarius Lover

This romance, love, sex combination is very much like the friendship, only with sex involved! There can be a “friends with benefits” approach, especially from the Sagittarius side, but there can also be a profound romance, driven largely by the Leo. Either way, if these two individuals are sexually attracted to one another, then sparks can fly, and hotel rooms can catch on fire!

Leo Employer/Sagittarius Employee

The Leo employer and the Sagittarius employee will work well so long as the Sagittarius employee is in a position that allows them to travel and use their expertise, reporting to the Leo boss when necessary. But do not be surprised if the Leo boss and Sagittarius employee prove to be good friends outside the office or partying together on business trips. They can “work a room” when it comes to business deals and using the entertaining work of business situations to close deals.

Sagittarius Employer/Leo Employee

If the employer is a Sagittarius and the employee is Leo, the dynamic can work in a similar fashion. The Sagittarius boss will not often worry too much about employees beyond, “is the job getting done or not.” The Leo employee can make himself or herself known by performing at a high level, which can get the attention of a Sagittarius boss, in a good way. Sagittarius sees the global picture and appreciates having a worker who can entertain potential business associates and make deals using charm and persuasion.

Leo Co-worker/Sagittarius Co-worker

This combination is problematic only in the sense that these individuals may stir up trouble through antics at work. These two will likely become friends and behave in the same way as the friendship dynamic, which can lead to problems with productivity if they are not properly supervised. However, with excellent guidance, their power as team members and co-workers can be harnessed to create some powerful and “eye-catching” outcomes at the job.
