Medium

Scorpio and Sagittarius are neighbors on the wheel: different element, different rhythm and different polarity. At first it's hard to meet; over time, each shows the other what they don't see.

Scorpio and Sagittarius in love

In love there's magnetism and strong emotions: Fire wants action, Water wants depth. They can ignite each other or hurt each other; the key is minding how things are said.

In friendship and work

In friendship and work, one brings stability and the other flexibility. It works if the fixed one tolerates change and the mutable one respects what was agreed.

Why they get along this way

Element — Steam and transformation. Fire heats Water and Water can put out Fire: magnetism and intensity, with the challenge of regulating the temperature.

Rhythm. Scorpio is fixed — sostiene — and Sagittarius is mutable — adapta. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.

Polarity. Scorpio is Yin and Sagittarius is Yang: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.

Rulers. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Mars (transformation; action and desire); Sagittarius, by Jupiter (expansion and meaning).

What each one brings

Scorpio: intensity, transformation and depth.

Sagittarius: optimism, philosophy and adventure.

Where they can clash

Scorpio: jealousy, control and revenge.

Sagittarius: exaggeration, difficulty committing and impatience.

How to look after the bond

Give yourselves time to get to know each other: what seems incompatible at first is often exactly what the other has to teach.
