When Chappell Roan sang, “It’s like a hundred ninety-nine degrees when you’re doing it with me, doing it with me," she could have been talking about the relationship between Leo and Sagittarius. These two fire signs are red hot on their own, but they burn even brighter when they’re together. I’m talking about sexual chemistry, swoonworthy romance, and epic adventures. Let’s get into detail:

Leo and Sagittarius: Personality Traits
As two fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius have a lot in common. They’re both adventurous, outspoken, and optimistic. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system, and Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is bigger than all the planets combined. So it makes sense that Leo and Sagittarius are both “big thinkers,” prone to creative ideas, seeing the complete picture, and looking on the bright side.
The main difference between Leo and Sagittarius can be seen in their modality, which describes where in a season the sign falls. Leo is a fixed sign, meaning they fall in the middle of a season—summer, in this case—and tend to be stubborn, loyal, and comfy with things the way they are. On the other hand, Sagittarius is a mutable sign, falling at the end of a season—fall. This means that they’re comfortable with uncertainty and chaos, and adapt easily to changing circumstances.
Leo and Sagittarius: Friendship Compatibility
These two make *excellent* friends. They’re both comfy at a party or all-inclusive resort. Sagittarius can help bring out Leo’s adventurous side, while Leo can show Sag that stability doesn’t have to be boring. The only problem here is that both signs are so outgoing that they could find themselves battling for attention! Hopefully they can surround themselves with enough meek water and earth signs that they’re fine sharing the spotlight.
Leo and Sagittarius: Sexual Compatibility
Yeah, these two have HOT sex. Leo is super-creative, while Sagittarius is incredibly adventurous, which means both signs want to try out every kink and sex position they can think of at least once. Sag has a thing for outdoor sex and the mile-high club, while Leo has an exhibitionist streak and loves to be complimented.
Leo and Sagittarius: Relationship Compatibility
These signs’ similarities mean that they have a lot going for them in a relationship. However, one challenge that could come up is around stability vs. spontaneity. Sagittarius is famous noncommittal, preferring to make decisions impulsively and only getting into a relationship when they’re 100% sure about the person they’re with. Leo, on the other hand, values stability and security more than the other two fire signs. To make a relationship work, they’ll have to find a balance between Leo’s need for stability and Sagttarius’s noncommittal nature.
Leo and Sagittarius: Marriage Compatibility
People like to say “good luck getting a Sag to commit,” but there is one case when a Sagittarius will say “I do”: When they’re 100% sure about their partner. This doesn’t happen often, but when it does, Sag will happily walk down the aisle and throw a huge party to celebrate (bonus points if it’s a destination wedding).
