Sagittarius Men Relationships
From LoveToKnow Horoscopes
Are Sagittarius men relationships really worth pursuing? You bet they are, but they're not the best match for fainting violets. To hold the interest of a male Archer, you need to be a strong character in your own right. Find out why.
Meet the Sagittarian Male
You may think you know all there is to know about Sagittarius men. However, there really is more than one variety of Archer even if they do have a lot in common beneath the surface.
The Classic Sag
This fellow is the bonvivant, the out-going life of the party who is up for anything. He likes to read up on the latest news, travel when the mood strikes him and generally chart his own course in most things. Life with this man can be exciting and adventurous for the woman who can hold her own.
That said, there is another dimension to the Sagittarian male, and that is a leaning toward bluntness. It is the Archer's burden that he has a tendency to say exactly what he thinks without realizing that his comments can seem thoughtless to the person listening to him.
This is the man who will, in all honesty, tell you that those pants make your behind look big. He doesn't do so to hurt your feelings; he really thinks he's being honest for your benefit and he's oblivious to the fact that his honesty may have been offensive. It takes a confident woman to handle such bluntness without letting it scar her ego.
That said, when the Sagittarius man has his full faculties about him, he has a lot of wisdom to offer.
The Quiet Sagittarian
Although it's the outgoing Sagittarians that get all the publicity, there is such a thing as a quiet Archer. These men tend to observe everything that goes on around them and keep most of what they think to themselves. Their minds are just as active as their boisterous compatriots, and they love excitement and challenges too. They simply don't blurt out everything they're thinking. However, even quiet Sagittarians can be guilty of being blunt to a fault.
Sagittarius Men Relationships Come with Challenges
In addition to bearing with Sagittarius' honest-to-a-fault opinions, relationships with men of this sign offer other challenges of which to be aware.
Commitment Issues
Whether an Archer is the rare quiet type or one who lives out loud, both have one thing in common: they're typically slow to commit.
Archer men, like all Sags, put a high value on their freedom. They like feeling as though they can change their plans at the last minute if they get a better idea or offer. These men can go the distance in their work lives, but they prefer no strings in their personal lives if they can avoid them. This doesn't mean they don't want to have relationships because they really do; it's just that they like to keep them casual for the most part.
Love of the Chase
One of the biggest reasons that Sagittarius men relationships often run out of steam is that Sags really love the thrill of the chase. They get caught up in the newness of a fresh relationship and all there is to discover about their new mate.
Unfortunately, every new relationship reaches a plateau where the discovery stage is over, and it's time to find out if the relationship has enough foundation for a long term match. This is where some Sags loose interest and may even begin to wander. The smart woman will find ways to keep the zing in the relationship without losing her own sense of self in the bargain.
Flash Fires
One of Sagittarius' less pleasant characteristics is having a short fuse that leads to infrequent outbursts of temper. Sags can become angry very quickly and say things in the heat of the moment that they regret later. Apologies will surely follow.
Cut and Run
One thing is certain, a Sag man who isn't happy in the relationship he's in won't find it difficult to say so, even if his partner feels blind sided. If he can't reach some sort of understanding with his partner to resolve problems, he'll most likely walk away.
The Silver Lining
Although it can take a lot of effort to pin a Sagittarius man down to an exclusive relationship, it can be well worth the work. When Sags finally do commit, they tend to be very loyal. This doesn't mean the relationship will be filled with hearts and roses every day; it still takes some attention to keep these men engaged and content. However, once deep bonds are formed, the hardest part is over.
Best Matches for Sagittarius Men
So, which signs present the best possibility for matches with fiery Sagittarius?
- Other fire signs offer the greatest chance for compatibility because they have so much in common. These include Leo and Aries.
- Air signs feed fire signs, so Aquarius, Libra and even Gemini can compliment the Sagittarian temperament.
- Grounded earth signs like Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo are likely to lose patience with the Archer's ever changing plans, even though they can bring stability to the relationship.
- Water drowns fire, so Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are likely to make Sagittarius feel stifled unless they can resist the temptation to cling too much. They may also not be thick-skinned enough to withstand Sag's less than tactful opinions.
The Final Word
Our sun signs give us the outward characteristics that others perceive, but our moon signs affect how we feel things. If you find yourself strongly attracted to a Sagittarius man, go ahead and get to know him even if your sun signs aren't compatible at first glance. There may be deeper aspects of your charts that will help you overcome the differences to find common ground and lasting romance.

Hi Sarah,
Usually Aries and Sags get along great, but as you said, other aspects can have a definite impact (Sag on the cusp). Either way, we wish you good luck with your relationship. Thanks for sharing with us here!
-- Contributed by: Jacqueline DautajUnbelieveable...A relationship with a Sag male is odd at times, and I'm an Aries female. Then again...My Sag is practically a Sag-Cap cusp. So..It is definitley different then another sag i know who is a head on Full Blooded Sag!
-- Contributed by: SarahHi Bee,
This is a tricky one. I can see the attraction (Aquarius/Sag), but the sun signs are very different. The best thing you can do is to look at the actual charts. Do you have the birth dates, birth times and place of birth for each? If so, write back, and we'll take a look at it. Thanks for the question!
