Scorpio + Sagittarius

Scorpio and Sag approach life from opposite sides, but can meet quite nicely in the middle. Sagittarius is the adventurer, an optimist, an idealist and a philosopher. Scorpio is much more concerned with reality than with being optimistic. The water sign rather leans into the  mystical, the occult and the depths of the human psyche. In a way, it’s like they’re operating on different wavelengths.

Sagittarius is attracted to Scorpio’s passionate and extreme personality, and this may be a strong spark for their friendship. There will be potential for discord if Sagittarius comes to find Scorpio as too overbearing or intense for their light-hearted nature. But if the relationship is nurtured, it can certainly instead bloom into a beautiful connection. 

Scorpio may initially view Sagittarius as a bit of a mystery, being  so used to figuring everyone out upon the first few seconds of meeting them. As Scorpio gets to know the fiery archer more, they may just realize that Sag is progressive, fun-loving and spontaneous. Sagittarius isn’t always the most reliable (they don’t like feeling restricted by time restraints or structures), but Scorpio can always rely on Sag to make them laugh. Sagittarius does tend to view the glass as half full, and will help Scorpio take things more lightly.

Conflict could arise here in terms of love languages, and attachment (or detachment). Sagittarius is notoriously independent and afraid of commitment, while the sign of Scorpio rules intimacy. The remedy here will be clear boundary setting, and honest communication. Scorpio has to clearly assert what they need to feel good in this connection. Here, the water sign will likely be learning the art of healthy detachment (whether they like it or not).  

The greatest threat to a successful connection here will be if either party fails to be truthful with one another, and/or if they were to impose the other’s freedom. Sagittarius in particular dislikes clingy people, and Scorpio is generally not a fan of people who are nosey. This pair will have to  build trust between them, learning to appreciate distance and time apart, as it makes them appreciate the bond they do have.

Despite their differences, a Scorpio and Sag pair has a lot to learn from each other. The question is whether or not they’re willing to exercise patience & accept what makes them both so unique.
