Sagittarius + Aquarius at a glance

Naturally easy: two signs apart (a sextile).

A sextile is traditionally an easy, friendly link. Sagittarius' optimism and a big-picture view and Aquarius' originality and fairness to everyone tend to support each other without much effort, and this is often a pairing that simply gets on.

Sagittarius (fire) and Aquarius (air) traditionally feed each other: air gives fire ideas, fire gives air momentum. Conversations tend to be lively and plans move quickly.

Sagittarius is mutable and Aquarius is fixed: one tends to adapt and adjust, while one tends to keep things going. Knowing who usually does which makes everyday decisions smoother.

Where it flows, where it rubs

Strengths and friction points

What works

Sagittarius offers Aquarius optimism and a big-picture view; Aquarius offers Sagittarius originality and fairness to everyone. Sagittarius shows care through adventures, humour and honest encouragement. Aquarius shows it through loyal friendship and big ideas shared. Between them, they cover both expansive, enthusiastic and on the move and inventive, principled and on their own schedule ways of getting things done.

Sagittarius parent · Aquarius child
