    • Friendly. Sagittarius is super open and happy to talk to anyone. Sag loves exchanging ideas, so Sagittarius-Capricorn cusps tend to be very warm, personable, and funny.
    • Responsible. Capricorn is ruled by the planet of responsibilities, so while Sag is a carefree sign, Sagittarius-Capricorn cusps are reliable; they have a strong sense of duty and always follow through on their word.
    • Optimistic. Sagittarius has an irrepressible sense of optimism and cheer. While Capricorn is more of a realist, Sag-Capricorn cusps tend to look on the bright side.
    • Ambitious. Success is everything to Capricorn, so Sagittarius-Capricorn cusps aren’t afraid to reach for the stars. They often have lofty dreams and know how to set incremental goals to get where they want to go.
    • Adventurous. Sagittarius is all about exploration. They want to see the world and expand their horizons in every way possible. Thus, Sag-Capricorn cusps are super adventurous, and thanks to Cap’s practicality, they put everything they learn to use somehow.

    They have lots of energy and passion but prefer to focus it fully on their work and ambitions, which doesn’t leave much time for fun and personal relationships. Although they’re very loyal, they can’t always devote as much energy as they should to friendships and romances. This cusp can be:
    • Intense. While intensity isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it can definitely be intimidating (and isolating) when Sagittarius-Capricorn cusps start to laser-focus on work, giving everything they have to find success.
    • Stubborn. Sagittarius-Capricorn cusps can be uncompromising, especially when it comes to their worldview. They may even come off as combative if they feel their opinions are being challenged.
    • Indecisive. Normally, Capricorns are rigid and very decisive, but as a mutable sign, Sagittarius is much more flexible and open-minded (which also means Sag-Capricorn cusps may struggle to make decisions at times).

    While Sagittarius is independent and sometimes a little flighty, Capricorn’s influence helps this cusp take a more down-to-earth approach to romance. They still need plenty of freedom to do their own thing, but they also have a strong sense of devotion to their patterns—and lots of that fire sign passion. [3]
    • How to attract them: The Sag side of this cusp loves to laugh, so be sure to show off your sense of humor!
    • Ask them about their interests, too, since this intellectual cusp is bound to have many.
    • To appeal to their Capricorn side, be punctual on dates and keep your promises. Cap is all about responsibility, so it’s important to show them you can be a dependable partner.
