♎ Libra + ♐ Sagittarius · air and fire · two signs apart

Libra and Sagittarius compatibility

Good company, good conversation, and the door left open.

Libra: September 23 – October 22. Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21.

Are Libra and Sagittarius a good match?

Tradition calls it a good match, with one warning: it is so pleasant that the real conversation can wait for years.

I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.

What draws you together

This pairing is easy to be around. Sagittarius makes Libra braver, and Libra makes Sagittarius kinder. You share an appetite for people, ideas and travel, and you tend to bring out the other's optimism.

The hard part

Sagittarius says the tactless thing, and Libra spends a week smoothing it over. Libra's indecision can bore Sagittarius, and Sagittarius's restlessness can make Libra feel like one stop on a long road.

How your signs sit on the wheel

You sit two signs apart, a sixty-degree angle astrologers call a sextile. The tradition counts this as friendly: your elements feed each other without either having to become the other. The door is open, but it asks to be walked through.

Air feeds fire. One of you brings the spark and the other brings the breath, and together you tend to feel more alive than you do apart.

One of you sets the course and the other finds the way around what is in it. This works when the one who adapts is also asked what they want.

What each of you is really asking

Libra is asking: Will you still be here if I stop keeping the peace? Libra brings grace and fears being the cause of the rupture.

Sagittarius is asking: Can I love you and keep the horizon? Sagittarius brings faith and fears being fenced in.

The desire under the question

Libra wants a real partner. Sagittarius wants a real companion. Ask if you mean the same thing by that.
