♐︎♒︎ Sagittarius and Aquarius compatibility

How well do Sagittarius and Aquarius go together? By tradition: stimulating.

These two signs complement each other, fire with air. You spur each other on without bending out of shape, and it rarely gets dull. A connection that can begin as a friendship and last a long time.

What helps: Shared plans keep the connection alive.

What connects them

Both love freedom, ideas and people, and both give each other plenty of room.

Where it rubs

With so much freedom, commitment is sometimes missing, and neither says what they really want.

Element and way

Fire and air: air fans the fire, and fire gives the air a direction. Ideas quickly become plans, and conversations often end with setting off. What is sometimes missing is the calm to see a thing through.

Sagittarius is a mutable sign, Aquarius a fixed one. The fixed sign wants constancy, the mutable one variety. One is the anchor, the other the wind. It goes well when the anchor does not hold on to everything and the wind does not keep changing direction.

The two in love

In love, Sagittarius is open and adventurous. It needs freedom and someone who sets off with it.

In love, Aquarius is a friend first. It needs room of its own and someone who likes its quirks.

The planets of the two

The planet of Sagittarius is Jupiter. Jupiter stands for breadth and trust. It brings generosity to a relationship and plans for the future.

The planet of Aquarius is Uranus, by the old rulership Saturn. Uranus stands for freedom and the unexpected. It brings surprises to a relationship and the wish for room of your own.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.
