Leo + Sagittarius Compatibility
Double flame, fast, loud, and alive: 85% overall match (love 88%, friendship 92%, communication 81%, long-term 77%).
Two fire signs move at the same speed: fast. Attraction is instant, plans are spontaneous, and the energy in the room doubles when you are both in it. The risk is that fire needs fuel, if the relationship becomes routine, one of you will light a fire somewhere else, and neither of you naturally plays the calm one during a fight.
For a woman and a man
Leo and Sagittarius is the Sun with Jupiter, fire with fire. The Leo is fixed and the Sagittarius is mutable. This is a fun, warm and adventurous pair, whichever of you is the woman and whichever is the man.
The friction is attention and freedom. The Leo wants loyalty and focus. The Sagittarius wants freedom and variety. The Leo can feel the Sagittarius is too casual, and the Sagittarius can feel the Leo is too demanding. Blunt comments from the Sagittarius can hurt the Leo's pride. Picture a joke at dinner that lands badly.
Keep the fun and add a little care. The Sagittarius can be honest without being careless, and the Leo can give freedom without taking it personally. Plan adventures together, because both signs love a big experience. Fire with fire keeps each other excited, and this pair can be one of the most joyful in the zodiac.

For two women
Two women, one a Leo and one a Sagittarius, are two kinds of fire, and neither has anyone telling her to be quieter. The Leo wants warmth and loyalty. The Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, wants room, travel and honesty. Together you can be the loudest, funniest table in the restaurant.
The trouble comes when both want the same moment. Say you plan a trip. The Sagittarius wants to book a flight and decide the rest as it comes. The Leo wants a good hotel, a great dinner and to be in the photos. Leo is fixed and attached to the plan once made. Sagittarius is mutable and happy to change it halfway. The first change feels like carelessness to the Leo. The Leo's insistence feels like a cage to the Sagittarius.
Arguments between you will flare fast, and since neither of you naturally cools down, they can burn bigger than the subject.
Practical step: split the trip into two parts. The Leo chooses and books the anchor, such as the best night. The Sagittarius leaves the rest open. And agree on a break rule: when voices rise, one of you goes for a walk, and the other does not follow.

For two men
For two men, one Leo and one Sagittarius, the fun is in how openly you both like life. Fire signs with no expectation to be reserved can be generous, funny and a bit reckless together. The Sun loves an audience. Jupiter loves an adventure.
The friction is mostly about who gets the last word. Picture a weekend away with friends. The Sagittarius tells a story with a slightly improved ending. The Leo, who cares about being the centre, jumps in with a bigger one. Later, one of you says something blunt in the car, and the other does not let it go. Leo is fixed and holds a position. Sagittarius is mutable but speaks without a filter, so the argument heats up before either has said what he means.
Neither of you is cruel. It is just two big voices in a small car.
Practical step: give each other a turn in company, so the Leo tells the opening story and the Sagittarius tells the close, or the other way round. Agree that after a row, whoever speaks first says one thing he is sorry for, not two. And book the next trip while the last one is still a happy memory.
With a non-binary partner
A non-binary partner in a Leo and Sagittarius pairing is joining two fire signs who both like honesty. That helps. Neither is likely to be subtle about wanting to know who their partner is, and both would rather be told than left guessing. Leo brings loyalty and pride. Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, brings curiosity and a dislike of boxes.
Where it can fall down is in the telling. Both signs speak fast and loud. At a party, a Leo might announce a partner's pronouns with a flourish, and a Sagittarius might make a joke to smooth over a stumble. Both mean well. Neither may notice that the partner would have preferred a quiet word.
The other pattern is speed. Fire signs act first and reflect later, so a rule or a name that was agreed on Monday can be forgotten by Friday.
Practical step: let your partner decide what is said in public and what is kept between the three of you. Then write the names and pronouns somewhere you will see them, perhaps in the notes on your phone. For a pair of fire signs, a written habit beats good intentions.
