Scorpio + Sagittarius

Water + Fire = Steam

Scorpio and Sagittarius can be great friends: their ruling planets are friendly. This is also a terrific love combination, and should be full of optimism and achievement. Both of you have a positive view of life and will want to accomplish a lot. Sagittarius is outgoing, even audacious, and initially you’ll feel a little wary of this. From the other side, Sagittarius will need to be mindful that you’re sometimes quite serious. This can work out well, though, because Sagittarius has a more thoughtful side, no matter how blunt they seem.

When you’re together, you two will have something dramatic about you, an energy that everyone around you will pick up on. You will certainly have heads turning — or possibly eyes rolling — when you walk into a room.

The downside is that your relationship can be explosive and excessive. Unless Sagittarius sticks to some basic emotional and mental ground rules, the partnership could burn itself out.

On the plus side, Sagittarius can draw you out of your brooding moods and teach you what a good time is all about. If you learn to relax a little and go along for the ride, you will find that you enjoy the lighter and more optimistic side of life. Sagittarians love travel — they thrive on exploring the great outdoors and other cultures. They will open your eyes and give you a taste of the freedom and variety that are so important to them.

Because Sagittarius likes to share, your sex life can be exciting, but it could be one-sided until you become trusting and open with them. When you come out from behind your wall of reserve, Sagittarius will find your loving responses irresistible.

Friendly competition is another thing you are both into. Being physically and mentally competitive, you’ll get a kick out of joining forces in sporting or outdoor activities.

Any working arrangements you have with Sagittarians born between 23 November and 1 December will lead to success, and will be good news for the financial side of your relationship. Sagittarians born between 2 December and 11 December will feel very connected to you: Mars is the planetary ruler for both of you, and gives you a very close physical relationship.

If you take on a Sagittarian born between 12 December and 21 December, there will be ego clashes, because they are more wilful and egocentric than most Sagittarians. Your competitive urges may slide into rather unsavoury territory. You’ll need all your diplomacy skills to survive a relationship with them.
