How do Sagittarius and Aquarius rate in love, friendship, marriage, intimacy and communication?

Sagittarius and Aquarius carry one rating, the verdict above, and the tradition reads each part of a relationship from the same chart facts. For this pair they are fire beside air, mutable beside fixed, two signs apart (a sextile), and Jupiter and Uranus (traditionally Saturn) as rulers. The table sets out the five readings and the chart fact each one rests on.

None of the five is a number. Each is how the tradition reads one part of life for these two signs, and what it means for you two is yours to judge.

What are the strengths of a Sagittarius and Aquarius match?

The strengths of a Sagittarius and Aquarius match, in the tradition's reading, are these three:

• Elements the common convention pairs, fire with air (fire and air).
• The angle astrologers read as friendly and easy, two signs apart (sextile).
• One sign that adapts and one that holds, a division rather than a contest (mutable and fixed).

What are the challenges of a Sagittarius and Aquarius match?

The challenges of a Sagittarius and Aquarius match, in the tradition's reading, are these three:

• Not the same element, so the case the tradition reads as the very easiest does not apply (fire and air).
• Plans change on one side and hold on the other, which is where most of this pair's relationship problems start (mutable and fixed).
• Two rulers read as wanting room, so closeness has to be chosen rather than assumed (Jupiter and Uranus).

Both lists come from how astrology compares two signs, beginning with the elements.

What elements are Sagittarius and Aquarius?

Sagittarius is a fire sign and Aquarius is an air sign. These are complementary elements: the common convention pairs fire with air and earth with water, and this pair is one of those pairings. The tradition reads it as friendly rather than identical.

Astrologers associate fire signs with assertion, drive and willpower, and air signs with thought, principle and exchange. In this pair Sagittarius brings the appetite and Aquarius brings the argument for it. Our scoring gives its most to a trine between two signs of one element; this pair has paired elements on a sextile instead, and the verdict above shows what that difference is worth.

This verdict follows the element and modality pairing of Sagittarius and Aquarius. The rules behind every verdict are explained in how fire and air signs match. Element describes temperament; modality describes how each sign acts on it.

What modalities are Sagittarius and Aquarius?

Sagittarius is a mutable sign and Aquarius is a fixed sign. Cardinal signs start things, fixed signs sustain them and mutable signs adapt. The tradition reads different modalities as a fit rather than a contest, because the two signs do not compete for the same role.

For Sagittarius and Aquarius that reads as flexibility beside conviction. Sagittarius will change the destination halfway. Aquarius will change nothing it has decided on principle, however unconventional the principle looks from outside.

Element and modality belong to each sign; the aspect is the angle between them.

What aspect do Sagittarius and Aquarius form?

Sagittarius and Aquarius sit two signs apart on the zodiac wheel, which Western astrology calls a sextile (60 degrees). The sextile is one of the five major aspects.

Astrologers read a sextile as friendly, and Cafe Astrology reads it as easy. A sextile always joins two paired elements, fire with air or earth with water, which is why this pair is fire and air. The tradition reads the sextile as an opening that rewards effort, where the trine is read as ease that needs none.

The aspect places the signs on the wheel; the ruling planets say what each sign wants.

Which planets rule Sagittarius and Aquarius?

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Aquarius by Uranus, with Saturn as its traditional ruler. Aquarius carries two rulers because Uranus was discovered in 1781, and before then astrologers gave the sign to Saturn. Astrologers associate Jupiter with growth and expansion, Uranus with independence and sudden change, and Saturn with structure and duty.

The modern pairing reads as two planets that dislike limits. The classical pairing, Jupiter and Saturn, reads as expansion meeting discipline. Sagittarius and Aquarius are not opposite signs: the opposite of Sagittarius is Gemini and the opposite of Aquarius is Leo. Rulers add colour to the reading and nothing to our rating.

Are a Sagittarius woman and an Aquarius man compatible?

The rating is the same as in the verdict above, because our scoring takes two signs and nothing else. A Sagittarius woman and an Aquarius man are still fire beside air, two signs apart. Read through the rulers, the tradition sets Jupiter beside Uranus, and reads both as wanting room: neither partner is likely to crowd the other. The reading goes better when the pair also agrees what they do together, on purpose.

Are a Sagittarius man and an Aquarius woman compatible?

The rating is the same as in the verdict above, because our scoring takes two signs and nothing else. Read through the modalities, the tradition puts mutable beside fixed first: a Sagittarius man and an Aquarius woman differ in how readily they change course. The tradition's reading is that the fixed partner keeps the principles and the mutable partner keeps the plans moving. The reading holds for any two people of these signs, including two women or two men.

Where this pair sits among all twelve signs is set out in the zodiac friendship page.

Are Sagittarius and Aquarius a good match for marriage?

Sagittarius and Aquarius are read as a friendly match for marriage that needs its terms set. The tradition's caution is independence: two partners who both prize freedom can drift into parallel lives. Couples who name what they share, and guard it, fit the reading best. For marriage the tradition weighs patience and shared pace more than spark. How every sign does long term is in the marriage compatibility page for every sign.

Are Sagittarius and Aquarius sexually compatible?

Sagittarius and Aquarius are read as playful and curious together in bed, a reading that rests on the elements and the rulers.

Intimacy is the fourth dimension we rate, and it is written for adults. The sign-by-sign version is sexual compatibility zodiac. With every part of life read, the useful question is what the two people can do with it.

What should a Sagittarius and Aquarius couple do to make it work?

A Sagittarius and Aquarius couple makes it work, in the tradition's terms, by deciding what their freedom is for:

• Agree how much room each of you needs before it becomes a question (Jupiter and Uranus).
• Let the fixed partner keep one tradition the mutable partner does not move (mutable and fixed).
• Plan the next adventure together rather than separately (fire and air).
• Turn a debate into a decision now and then, so ideas become plans (sextile).

None of this is a forecast. Any decision about a real relationship is yours to make, together.

Do the sun signs tell the whole story for Sagittarius and Aquarius?

No. A sun sign is one placement out of many that astrologers read. A full birth chart adds the Moon, Venus and Mars of each person, which the tradition reads for emotional needs, love style and desire. Two people with the Sagittarius and Aquarius sun signs can differ in all three. The whole system is a tradition: there is no evidence that birth dates predict how two people get on.
