A warm, optimistic pairing whose weakness is that neither one is willing to be realistic about anything.","The pair with no pessimist in it","Leo and Sagittarius share a temperament rather than a plan. Both assume things will work out, both take a setback as an interruption rather than as evidence, and both find caution in other people faintly depressing.\n\nA trine puts them 120 degrees apart in one element, so the sympathy was there before either did anything to earn it. The pair is loud, generous and unusually good at recovering from a bad year.\n\nWhat neither of them supplies is the sentence that begins: what if this does not work. Nobody in this pairing has ever enjoyed being the one who counts the cost, and it shows within a month.",[12,15,18],{"heading":13,"body":14},"Faith as a shared resource","This pair believes in each other's projects, which sounds slight and is not. Leo backs Sagittarius's improbable plan without asking for the arithmetic; Sagittarius takes Leo's ambitions entirely seriously, when most people find them a little grand.\n\nThat mutual confidence is the strongest thing in the combination. Both have usually been told to be more realistic, by families and employers, and neither does that to the other.",{"heading":16,"body":17},"Honesty and occasion","Sagittarius says the true thing at the wrong moment. Leo, who has spent effort making the moment, experiences that as the evening being deflated on purpose.\n\nIt almost never is. Sagittarius has no concept of a moment being under construction, and is genuinely surprised to be told there was one.",{"heading":19,"body":20},"Holding a plan, revising one","Leo commits and stays. Sagittarius commits sincerely and revises when the world changes, and does not experience the revision as a broken promise.\n\nThis is the one difference that survives all the warmth. Leo takes a changed plan as a statement about the relationship; Sagittarius takes Leo's insistence on the original plan as a refusal to look at new information. Both are right, and neither position has ever been improved by an argument at midnight.","The rub is that nobody here says stop. Money, plans, drink, ambition, a house neither can afford — both encourage rather than check, and each takes the other's enthusiasm as confirmation. Any realism has to be imported from outside the pair, usually by someone neither of them wanted to consult.\n\nThe second rub is pride against candour. Leo will not admit to being hurt and Sagittarius will not pretend not to have noticed, so a small injury gets discussed by one person and denied by the other. That is the most common way this warm pairing gets cold, and it usually clears as fast as it arrived.",[23,26,29,32],{"q":24,"a":25},"Are Leo and Sagittarius compatible?","This is one of the easier combinations on the wheel and it is easy in a specific way: the temperaments match, so almost nothing has to be explained. The building work is caution. Neither supplies it and both regard it as somebody else's job.",{"q":27,"a":28},"Why is a fire trine so comfortable?","Because 120 degrees within one element gives two signs the same reactions rather than the same goals. Optimism, directness and short memories for grievance arrive already shared, which removes most daily friction and leaves the pair with no internal brake.",{"q":30,"a":31},"Do Leo and Sagittarius argue much?","Loudly and briefly, and about tone far more often than about substance. Neither holds a position out of spite, and both would rather restore the good humour than win. The pattern to watch is a wound denied on one side and never mentioned again on the other.",{"q":33,"a":34},"What is the biggest risk for this pairing?","Overreach, rather than anything between them. Both say yes to the large plan, and neither is inclined to check the finances, the calendar or the energy available. The pair is far more likely to be undone by circumstances it created than by a falling-out.","a",1789041547519]
