Compatibility
Scorpio and Sagittarius
Scorpio keeps the secret. Sagittarius shares it at dinner, cheerfully, as a compliment.
Together
Neighbors on the wheel, water next to fire, depth next to distance. Scorpio wants to go down into one thing, Sagittarius wants to go out into everything. They share an allergy to small talk and a hunger for the truth, which is why the first conversation lasts until the bar closes.
After that the differences show. Scorpio guards the truth. Sagittarius announces it.
Love
Scorpio falls hard and Sagittarius falls widely. Scorpio wants total presence, Sagittarius wants a partner who will not hold the leash. The jealousy Scorpio feels is precisely the fence Sagittarius runs from. And yet the heat is real, and this can be a vivid, memorable affair, often more memorable than it is long.
Friendship
Better. Sagittarius drags Scorpio into daylight and onto the trip. Scorpio points out which of the new friends cannot be trusted, and is usually right.
Work
Sagittarius sees the opportunity, Scorpio sees the risk. Listen to both and the project grows carefully. Listen to only one and it either stalls or burns.
Where it breaks
Candor against privacy. Sagittarius forgives fast and forgets faster. Scorpio forgives slowly and forgets never. The same argument means nothing to one of them and everything to the other.
The frog's verdict
Two stars, with heat. If this is yours, agree together on what stays private and what can be shared, in detail, before the next party. Sagittarius, ask before you tell. Scorpio, believe the apology the first time it comes.
