Scores are calculated from sun-sign astrology alone: the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel, their elements and their modalities. A full birth chart includes the Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses, and can shift this picture considerably.
Leo and Sagittarius — the verdict
The Sun and Jupiter in the same element makes for one of the wheel's most enjoyable pairings. Both are optimistic, generous and allergic to small living. Sagittarius keeps Leo entertained, Leo gives Sagittarius a reason to come back, and neither is remotely interested in petty score-keeping. Excess is the only real hazard here.
