The Reading · Sextile
Sagittarius and Aquarius sit 60 degrees apart: a sextile.
Sagittarius and Aquarius are natural allies and usually friends before they are anything else. Both of you are more interested in the idea than the arrangement, both consider most conventions to be somebody else's habit, and neither has ever wanted to be accounted for at the end of the day. Jupiter and Uranus both push outward. What makes it comfortable rather than merely compatible is the complete absence of possessiveness: neither of you needs to be the centre of the other's world, neither takes an evening apart as a verdict, and the freedom is assumed rather than granted.
You are excellent company and better collaborators. Sagittarius supplies the appetite and the willingness to go, Aquarius the framework and the sense of why it matters beyond the two of you, and between you a good deal actually gets attempted. Neither of you is jealous, neither sulks, and both would rather resolve a disagreement by arguing it properly than by managing each other. The friendship underneath usually survives whatever else the pairing turns into.
Neither of you is much good at the intimate register. Both prefer the interesting conversation to the vulnerable one, and years can pass in genuine affection without either saying anything that would be difficult to say. Practically, nobody is minding the ground floor: Aquarius has theories about money and Sagittarius has none, and the result is the same either way. And Aquarius, being fixed, occasionally digs in on a principle that Sagittarius simply steps around, which Aquarius finds infuriating.
Air and fire: the air gives the fire its oxygen. This is the pairing that talks itself into an adventure by Tuesday.
Fixed meets mutable: one holds the line, the other finds the way around it. Both approaches work, which is the thing to remember mid-argument.
