The dynamic
How Scorpio and Sagittarius get on
Scorpio and Sagittarius are next to each other in the zodiac, 30° apart. Astrologers call this a semi-sextile. Scorpio is a water sign and Sagittarius is a fire sign, so your temperaments are different. Each of you is good at something the other finds hard. On some days this feels like help, and on other days it feels like criticism.
Love · Tense
In love
Love grows slowly here. It feels familiar and a little awkward at first, and then surprisingly close. In a relationship, Scorpio looks for depth, complete loyalty and no secrets. Sagittarius looks for freedom, honesty and a partner who wants to grow.
Friendship · Steady
As friends
As friends, Scorpio is the one who you call with a secret you cannot tell anyone else. Sagittarius is the one who books the trip and turns it into a good story. You see each other’s weak points clearly. That is useful if you speak kindly.
Work · Steady
At work
At work, Scorpio gets results by studying problems in depth and not giving up. Sagittarius gets results by setting a big goal and persuading others to follow it. Scorpio is a fixed sign, so it keeps things stable. Sagittarius is a mutable sign, so it adapts when plans change. Sagittarius may find Scorpio rigid, and Scorpio may find Sagittarius unreliable. Both views are only half true.
Making it work
Three things to try
- Ask before you give advice. Help can feel like criticism to the other person.
- Watch for need for control from Scorpio and overpromising from Sagittarius.
