Sagittarius – character in love
Sagittarius is a mutable Fire sign ruled by Jupiter – the planet of growth, optimism and luck. In love it looks above all for adventure: someone to travel with, to debate the meaning of life with and to laugh with until it hurts.
Sagittarians are brave, honest and enterprising. They have sharp minds and broad horizons, and their openness can be so great that they sometimes say a few words too many.
How does Sagittarius love?
Sagittarius in love is enthusiastic, generous and full of ideas for a life together. It cannot stand restrictions, though – it needs a partner who will not demand an account of every hour. Its weaknesses are impatience and a tendency to run when the relationship starts to feel like routine.
Sagittarians often mature into a steady relationship later than other signs. But once they realise that true closeness can be the greatest adventure of all, they become loyal, cheerful and inspiring partners.
Who is Sagittarius most compatible with?
Sagittarius connects most easily with Aries and Leo. Relationships with Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius also tend to go very well.

★★☆☆☆ Challenging match · quincunx – different languages

Sagittarius and Sagittarius
★★★★☆ Very good match · same sign
It is either a dream or a challenge. When you understand each other, everything seems perfect: travel, conversation, shared plans. When you disagree, you can really get under each other’s skin. If you avoid competing with each other, you will build a relationship founded on friendship and love.

Sagittarius and Aquarius
★★★★☆ Very good match · sextile – complementary elements
You understand each other in half a word – you both value freedom, ideas and independence. That does not mean you always agree, but your discussions only bring you closer. A very good, inspiring pairing. See how Aquarius loves →
Sagittarius and Pisces
★★★☆☆ Promising, needs work · square – tension and friction
You share Jupiter, so you are both idealists and dreamers. You inspire each other and agree on many things. Pisces, however, needs more tenderness and certainty than you usually give – remember that, and the relationship will be beautiful. See how Pisces loves →
