Sagittarius and Aquarius Compatibility
Sagittarius and Aquarius are a sextile, two signs apart, a fire sign and an air sign. In general they tend to keep each other lively and talking.
How Sagittarius and Aquarius fit together
You are two signs apart, which is called a sextile, and your elements tend to support each other. It is a friendly, easy-going connection, with a feeling that you can work together well and that the other adds something you were missing.
Fire and air feed each other. Air gives fire ideas and room, and fire gives air momentum and warmth, so this element pairing tends to feel lively, talkative and full of possibility.
One is fixed and the other mutable. The fixed sign holds steady and the mutable one bends, which can balance well and can also leave one feeling immovable and the other feeling unheard.
