Two charts side by side, and the weather between them
Sextile: friendly signs
Compatibility score
Sagittarius and Aquarius are the explorer and the visionary: freedom, ideas, friendship, and a love that looks more like a shared cause than a cage.
Fire meets Air in a sextile that feels like a long conversation on a road trip. Sagittarius is drawn to Aquarius's originality and principle; Aquarius is drawn to Sagittarius's optimism and candour. Jupiter widens and Saturn in Aquarius holds to the ideal. Both prize freedom, both love ideas, and both dislike convention. Independent spirits who make each other braver and never try to own each other.
Nobody has to ask for room here; both give it by instinct. Neither clings, neither sulks, and both prefer the future to the past. Ideas flow and adventures follow. Sagittarius gives Aquarius warmth and faith; Aquarius gives Sagittarius a cause and a plan. Friends gather around them, and the conversation never stops.
Sagittarius is blunt and Aquarius is detached, and both can forget the heart. Aquarius settles on a view and keeps it; Sagittarius is Mutable and changes it, and the Fixed one can find the other flighty. Both can live in ideas and neglect the body. The forgetting is there to teach them both to feel, and to come home now and then.
They fall for each other on the road, mid-argument, and the romance keeps the shape of the friendship it grew from. The pull is adventurous and bright. Loyalty and shared ideals stand in for roses, and ownership never enters the room, which is why it lasts. A cause they both believe in keeps it alive, and the habit of reaching for each other across the fire.
Aquarius shows the feeling, not just the principle, and comes close in body as well as mind. Sagittarius softens the truth and stays long enough to build. Both must make a home somewhere, since neither will think of it, and remember that the body is also where love lives.
The Sagittarius man and the Aquarius woman talk as if they were already halfway through a long journey together. He is drawn to her originality, her principles and her independence; she is drawn to his optimism, his candour and his appetite for adventure. His Jupiter seeks meaning and her Saturn seeks the just idea, Fire and Air in an easy sextile, and both prize freedom over convention. He gives her warmth, faith and laughter. She gives him a cause and the method to serve it. Neither clings and neither tries to own the other, and that respect is why the love lasts. The clash comes when his bluntness meets her detachment and both forget the heart. She holds her view and he changes his, and she finds him flighty. Both live in ideas and forget the body. It holds when she shows her feeling as well as her principle and lets him near her physically as well as intellectually, and when he softens his truth and stays put long enough for a home to take shape.
The Aquarius man and the Sagittarius woman fall for each other in the middle of a lively disagreement, and they go on arguing happily for years. His originality, his vision and his calm win her; her optimism, her honesty and her warmth win him. His Saturn in Air and her Jupiter in Fire meet in a friendly sextile, and both dislike convention and value freedom. From him she gets a purpose, a method and a loyalty without possessiveness; from her he gets warmth, faith and the courage to set off. Ideas flow, adventures follow, and friends gather round them. The clash is that the heart gets left behind. He is detached and she is blunt; he holds to his view and she changes hers, and each finds the other hard to pin down. It lasts when he shows his feeling in touch and word, and when she softens her frankness and chooses to come home. Then the road leads somewhere they both want to live.
