1
Taurus Sagittarius and Taurus move through life at different speeds. According to astrologer Angel Eyedealism, Fire sign Sagittarius "loves movement and action," preferring to spend time out of the house doing fun things. Taurus is a slow-moving earth sign who loves nothing more than a night in, cuddling on the couch. Together, they might struggle to find a balance in their needs.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: different expectations for the relationship.
- How to make it work: If they can communicate their desires honestly and compromise with one another, these signs can find harmony. Taurus can provide stability, while Sagittarius can help Taurus relax and have fun!
2
Cancer Sagittarius’s free-spirited nature conflicts with water sign Cancer’s need for consistency and emotional stability. Cancer also craves commitment, while Sagittarius can be indecisive and put off commitment in favor of exploration. Communication is difficult between them, as Sagittarius’s trademark blunt honesty could hurt a sensitive Cancer’s feelings.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: conflicting emotional and romantic needs.
- How to make it work: While Cancer and Sagittarius have a lot of differences, they’re both passionate. Anything is possible if they’re willing to put time and energy into the relationship and communicate their needs openly.
3
Virgo At first, Sagittarius and Virgo will be drawn to one other’s intellectual nature but soon discover they have little else in common. Sagittarius is often too disorganized, erratic, and unpredictable for a practical earth sign like Virgo. Meanwhile, Virgo takes pride in being a critic (and being right). This attitude might grate on Sagittarius.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: communication and values.
- How to make it work: If Virgo warms up to having more adventures and Sagittarius learns to be patient and take Virgo’s advice once in a while, this pair can make their connection last.
4
Pisces These signs will enjoy one another’s company since they both like to talk about spiritual and philosophical ideas. However, water sign Pisces is very sensitive next to blunt and intellectual Sagittarius, so communication could be difficult. Sagittarius will find Pisces too delicate, while Sagittarius’s directness will put off Pisces. ^{[1]

5
Capricorn Sagittarius’s adventurous nature conflicts with Capricorn’s rigid personality. Capricorn is calm and collected; this earth sign wants every aspect of life to be controlled. Meanwhile, Sagittarius isn’t afraid to explore, have fun, and make a mess. Their personalities as fire and earth signs contrast, but they could be intrigued enough by one another to date regardless. ^{[2]

Scorpio Sagittarius and Scorpio share a strong attraction, but their values clash.
