Leo and Saggies (most 5-9 patterns, which just indicates a "trine" aspect) have a basic understanding of the other because we often look at things the same way.Fire is enthusiastic, passionate, assertive, boisterious etc... BUT, if the person has planets in other elements, they may tend to display other traits.
For the most part though, we just seem to understand where the other person is coming from. There is a built in sense of empathy that seems harder with other relationships.
At least for Sag and Leo- we know what to expect to some extent. When I get enthusiastic and dramatic my Leo starts to chuckle and grin. He loves seeing the bubbly nature and goofy statements that I make. Then again, he does it too, but we call it "pinging off the walls". I laugh and get pleasure out of seeing him happy.
Other signs that I have been with didn't understand and thought I was getting upset or didn't know how to deal with the enthusiasm. One would always say "Okay.. calm down" and that was when I was just happy and laughing. My brother, a fellow Sag and other fire signs (as does a fair number of water signs because we tend to demonstrate our emotions).
There does seem to exist a certain telepathy - I had this with my ex-husband but he had Venus, Mars and Pluto in Leo. I have it with Mr. Leo (my soon to be husband) and we are always amazed about how we connect. At times it feels like I am seeing through his eyes and he gets the same impression.
Sometimes Leo can get a bit stubborn (did I say a 'bit' lol) and Saggie tends to lighten them up at the same time when we feel overwhelmed by ALL the projects we took on and all the places we need to be, here comes Leo saying "Okay baby, so your big mouth got you into this, let's see what we can do".
The other thing I LOVE about our combination is the FAITH we have in each other. Anything I tackle my Leo believes I can accomplish, he's my cheerleader and my support when I am afraid of uncertainties.
I also believe 100% in him and that he can do ANYTHING he sets his mind to and when he's frustrated with his soldiers, I let him vent, crack jokes and bring him out.
I have had bf's that would say 'Wow, I'm impressed I never thought you'd accomplish that". Or they would get intimidated by what I had accomplished and did what ever they could to bring me down.
Both signs need our freedom, not to roam, but to just be "us". Sometimes Leo needs to lay down the law and let Saggie know that they are wanted back at the castle.
With my Leo he was very smart (only one other person was this smart, but we didn't have a connection) he knew to just let me be - yet he also let me know just how much he wanted to be with me. Somehow I knew he was incredibly special and that I was going to need to make a significant amount of space for him in my life (Meaning, I didn't even think about dating anyone else after we became an item, because I knew no one would come close to matching him). I also knew that even though I have many commitments with other organizations, social events, etc.. I was either going to have to have him come with me, slim down a few of my events and spend some time with him OR I would be losing out on our closeness.
He just let me move at my pace- but I think he KNEW what he was doing LOL.... (Sometime, when he gets his internet up and running in Germany- we'll have him post on here and he can give his perspective). If he is reading this, he is probably grinning. Probably already writing in his procedure book "How to catch a Sag: Let her / him run to the King of the Jungle, if that doesn't work, trip them and catch them as they fall... into your arms and in love" LMAO....Smooooooth.
Okay, I need to run.. this damn grant aint gonna write itself
