What is the Best Match for a Sagittarius

Meet the Archer

If there is one defining characteristic of the Sagittarian personality, it's a quest for infinite knowledge. Sags love to learn about everything and relish digging deeper into a subject to gather more facts.

Routine tends to be Sag's nemesis. That's not to say this sign can't settle into a routine if it's necessary, but Sags tend to wear a bit thin without the thrill of change. New challenges and vistas are needed to keep the archer content, especially career-wise. Even so, Sags are quite responsible characters, and their exceptional judgement often over rules their inner desire to chuck the rule book and chart their own course.

Cleverness is another hallmark of the Sagittarian personality, probably due the fact that this sign is so well read. Engage this sign in a conversation, and you are likely to find the dialogue goes on for hours although it only seems like a few minutes have passed!

Finally, Sagittarius' love of freedom and travel must be mentioned. This sign is typically not a home body if there is any chance of entertainment outside the home. Sags love to travel to new places and soak up the atmosphere and culture. They may even adopt the local accent and take it with them to their next stop. It's all a part of enjoying life to the fullest.

Dilemma: What is the Best Match for a Sagittarius?

So, with all these personality traits in mind, what is the best match for a Sagittarius? Not one, but two zodiac signs vie with each other as Sagittarius' best match in friendship as well as love. Let's take a closer look at each.

Aries

Fearless Aries' love of adventure suits Sagittarius to at T! The ram's natural leadership qualities present no problems for Sags; the archer doesn't mind following as long as the road is leading somewhere.

Both of these signs are repelled by rules and share an intense love of freedom. While Aries can be a bit impulsive and quick-tempered, Sagittarius brings a level of responsibility and sound judgement to the pairing that helps keep things on an even keel.

Leo

Ah, lovable Leo. Most of the zodiac signs are in love with Leo at one time or another because this irascible character is hard to resist! Leo is the most gregarious sign in all the zodiac and truly loves to be the center of everyone's attention. The lion never runs out of enthusiasm or energy and typically has a deep creative vein that tends to keep life interesting.

Being creatures of action, Leos pair up well with adventurous Sagittarians. This coupling loves to travel together and also shares great enthusiasm for the arts. While Leos tend to knock heads with Taureans and wear out even the most passionate Scorpios, Sagittarians seems to provide just enough grounding to keep the relationship on track. And of course, Sagittarius has an insatiable love to know just what Leo will come up with next!

The Runners Up

Leo and Aries may be at the top of Sagittarius' compatibility list, but the following signs have a lot to offer the archer. If both sides are dedicated to making the relationship work, a relationship between Sagittarius and either Libra or Aquarius can be nearly as fulfilling.

Aquarius

The typical Aquarius is a friend to everyone. This sign is noted for its generous nature and loyal friendship. Aquarius' intellectual nature dove tails famously with Sagittarius' love of learning, so these two signs have the potential to excel together and lift each other to new heights.

Aquarians are repelled by pack rats and tend to travel light. This suits Sag's "get up and go" nature quite well. Yet these same qualities can get on each other's nerves as Aquarius' tendency to cut possessions to the bone can aggravate Sag's love to collect trinkets gathered on travels. That said, both signs share a level of open mindedness that further increases their compatibility and carries the relationship through even when they are slightly at odds.

Libra

Libra's easy-going style and love of romance clicks with Sag's sense of adventure. The archer tends to take the lead in this relationship, and Libra is good at compromise, making this a better than average pairing. Both signs share the ability to weigh out situations and make sound decisions.

If Sag is being pulled too strongly by a reluctance to kow tow to the rules, Libra, ever the rationalist, will do its best to steer Sag back onto the path. This can be a help as well as a hindrance to the relationship because sometimes Sag is set on sticking to principle and is irritated by Libra's tendency to give in to pressure too easily.

And there you have the best possible matches for Sagittarius. That's not to say Sag's can't make relationships work with other signs. In fact, archers are often irresistably drawn to their opposites; Cancer and Taurus. However, these relationships can be quite tempestuous even though passions burn high. The problem is that the flame tends to burn both partners up and out, so pairings are not usually long-lived.
