The three things driving this pairing
Element — both fire
Leo and Sagittarius share an element, so they share a native emotional language: both moons here processes feeling as impulse and heat. That removes an entire category of misunderstanding between a Leo moon and a Sagittarius moon. It also means neither of you supplies what fire tends to be short on.
Modality — fixed and mutable
One of you holds the position; the other moves around it. This is the most durable combination on the wheel, provided the fixed one notices how much of the adjusting is not being done by them.
Aspect — trine, 120°
Trines are the easiest angle and the least motivating. Understanding arrives without effort here, which is lovely, and means nothing forces either of you to grow.
The heart of it
A fire trine with a grin on it — the moon that radiates and the moon that roams, and between them more warmth, humour, and appetite for life than any other pairing generates. Sagittarius makes Leo laugh at itself without wounding the pride, which is a needle almost no one else can thread. Leo gives Sagittarius's wandering a hearth worth circling back to — devotion warm enough to return for, never presented as a cage.
The structural tension is fixed fire against mutable fire: Leo's warmth wants to settle on its person and stay, while Sagittarius's wants horizon. Leo reads the departures — the trips, the tangents, the sudden enthusiasms elsewhere — as warmth withdrawn, and takes it personally, because Leo takes everything personally; that is what fixed fire is. Sagittarius, blunt by religion, then tells Leo exactly what it thinks of the possessiveness, and honesty lands on pride at full speed.
What works, and what breaks
What works
Joy, mostly — shared, loud, and self-renewing. Sagittarius keeps the relationship from calcifying into ceremony; Leo keeps it from dissolving into itinerary. Both of you would rather celebrate than sulk, and it shows.
What breaks
Leo needs the warmth to stay put and Sagittarius needs it to move — and Sagittarius's cheerful bluntness about that difference is precisely the delivery Leo's dignity cannot take.

Are Leo moon and Sagittarius moon compatible?
Very — a fire trine with matched warmth and matched humour. The one recurring negotiation is Leo's wish for settled devotion against Sagittarius's need for room.
Does a Sagittarius moon get bored with a Leo moon?
Not bored — confined, occasionally, when the devotion starts to feel like a schedule. Given room without guilt, Sagittarius circles back on its own, warmer for the loop.
What hurts a Leo moon in this pairing?
Sagittarius's honesty about needing space, delivered with its trademark lack of padding. The need itself is survivable; the unvarnished announcement of it lands on Leo as rejection.
How do Leo moon and Sagittarius moon last?
Leo learns that the leaving always includes a return, and stops billing each departure to the relationship. Sagittarius learns to wrap its honesty in one sentence of reassurance first — that single sentence does years of work.
