These two adore each other and have the best laughs and the best adventures. However, sometimes adoration doesn’t equal falling in love and they struggle to generate that X factor which leads to romance. It’s frustrating because Sag/Aquarius are intellectual equals, world travelers and freedom fighters – why not include bedroom romps and sexy foreplay?
Some spend a lifetime trying to fall in love, some become a couple and then revert to friendship and some decide that a bond without sizzle is strong enough to settle down, raise children and try to save the world in their spare time. Occasionally the attraction kicks in when they least expect it and that is the sweetest discovery of all.
Decoding Sagittarius and Aquarius friendships…
Friendship is where Sag/Aquarius shines. The love being around each other – Aquarius dreams about the future whilst Sagittarius hurdles towards it – all guns a blazing. These guys click as soon as they meet and the friendship can last a lifetime. They are free thinkers who despise boundaries and injustice. Expect them to fund raise for Amnesty International or Doctors Sans Borders whilst still at school and you’ll give generously when face with Aquarius’ evangelical entreaties and Sagittarius’ extraordinary sales pitch.
Sag is the Zodiac clown – everything makes them laugh from slipping on a banana skin to dark angry comedy. Aquarius believes a life without humor is wasted and loves clever/clever styles – satire, absurdist and observational. Together these friends search for the next big thing in comedy and quote lines from “Seinfeld” and “The Office”. They are in and out of each other’s lives, always flitting off to some new adventure or cause. When re-connecting they pick up right where the last conversation left off and savor every minute of togetherness. Freedom comes first but their friendship is a very close second.
First signs of attraction & compatibility…
Its surprising how many times this happens on a blind date. Friends of Sag/Aquarius are always trying to bring them together – “I know this great guy/girl – I think you’d really get along”, is a common refrain and yes, they do hit it off. Aquarius finds Sagittarius wonderfully entertaining and is surprised by how quickly they open up whilst Sag loves the agility of Aquarius mind.
They can talk and laugh until the sun comes up with fire sign, Sag, burning the room up with sexual innuendos. Air sign, Aquarius flits from topic to topic like a warm summer breeze and talks nervously at breakneck speed. When you get fire and air together like this they fuel each other – a raging wind and an out of control bush-fire.
The Sagittarius and Aquarius in relationships…
They probably wont call it a “relationship” – Sag/Aquarius are commitment shy, but they’ll live together, sleep together and travel lots together. Both have 100 things on the go and are not so good at completion – expect half-finished renovations, novels and University degrees.
They have a hard time syncing chemistry and spend long periods of time away from each other without craving physical closeness, which makes the relationship confusing for conventional outsiders. However, Sagittarius always, eventually misses their cerebral sparring partner and rushes to be by Aquarius’ side – a gesture much appreciated, as The Water Bearer loves spontaneity.
Sag/Aquarius are a great couple in tough times – they both roll with the punches and have an ability to embrace and learn from failure. Sag sooths Aquarius mind, when troubled by world events, with humor and tenderness and Aquarius teaches Sag the Art of stillness and relaxation. When they fight Sag rants and wails whilst conflict avoider, Aquarius, shuts down – This could lead to frustration and resentfulness if concerns are not aired in a respectful and open manner.
Where they may encounter turbulence…
Sag is a socialite – they talk to anyone and everyone, and like the Pied Piper lead a thriving mass of followers to the next big thing. Aquarius can be social but also needs lots of alone-time to ruminate and day dream. When constantly pushed to interact, they become mentally crowded and will ghost the next hectic party. Sag mustn’t push them to socialize and needs to understand that being quiet doesn’t mean they’ve done anything wrong.
Aquarius is a fixed sign and not good at compromising – particularly their core values. They often come across as a little preachy as well – whereas Sag is a mutable sign – flexible, adaptable and ever re-evaluating their beliefs. Aquarius needs to take a leave out of the Archers’ book, come down from their soap box and respect other people’s opinions – especially Sagittarius’.
When Sagittarius and Aquarius fall in love…
The actual falling in love can take a long time – just because the physical chemistry is hard to achieve. They often date for years, waiting for cupid to sling his arrows in their direction. During this time, they have plenty of fun high-energy dates – both like superheroes, gadgets and comedy festivals. Sagittarius is passionate and persistent but some of this behavior stems from being in love with the idea of being in love.
Aquarius looks at it a bit like an equation – if 1 + 1 = 2 then logically Sag + Aquarius should equal Love. They some times agree to continue seeing other people just to fill that one missing piece of chemistry. When love does strike – eventually – it’s usually after a long separation or when one sign gets serious about someone else. Discovering loves’ spark is absolutely marvelous and perfect – just as long as they both feel the same way.
Sagittarius and Aquarius sexual compatibility…
On paper it looks like a perfect match of sizzling, sensual delight – two crazy oddballs who are curious and up for just about anything, but Aquarius has to be 100% in love to feel anything sexually – and that represents a huge stumbling block. Sag can have casual sex, romantic sex and sex with themselves every 5 minutes of the day but in order to stay in a relationship there’s got to be chemistry and love.
Sometimes Sag/Aquarius end up faking just about every aspect of their sex life and things peter out gradually. Alternatively, they find the spark and the romance goes from zero to a scorching zillion in a split second.
Sagittarius and Aquarius marriage compatibility…
If marriage happens its often when Sag/Aquarius are older and wiser. They may or may not have found the x-factor, but they know no one else is going to be 99% perfect. Sag does the proposing – they love a good party and as long as neither take it too seriously, things have a fair chance of success. Expect a generous wedding where guests are asked to donate to World vision, instead of buying gifts. If they can, Sag/Aquarius hold the event in a country or city they have yet visit.
Married life is unconventional – they may go on a permanent holiday travelling the world together or spend a substantial time apart – for example, Aquarius spends 6 months of the year in Antarctica studying climate change whilst Sag lives with the Kalahari bushmen, absorbing their culture. Reunions are fabulous – Sag/Aquarius have so much to talk about and the connection is instant.
Children could happen but neither are that fussed – especially Aquarius who as a solitary creature finds it hard to live with anyone, including offspring. If they do occur Sag does most of the nurturing and excels as a playful parent with the best stories. Aquarius provides children with an understanding of social justice and a need to protect the weak and vulnerable. It’s an interesting, eclectic household where ideas and advocacy are highly prized.
