You and a Sagittarius Man
This charming lover can be a poor choice as a husband. The symbol of his sign is the Archer, and he is always on the hunt. He likes nothing better than the chase. As the song has it, “When he’s not near the girl he loves, he loves the girl he’s near.” He’s perfectly sincere when he tells you he loves you. And he will be perfectly sincere when he tells someone else the same thing the next night. Whatever he believes at the moment is true.
The Sagittarian male has a deserved reputation as the Don Juan of the zodiac. This is not because he has an insatiable sexual desire, but because love to him is an elusive adventure, an unexplored path. He is the archetypal footloose and fancy-free lover searching for his feminine ideal. Along the way he manages to garner more than his share of female admirers who can’t help responding to his open, honest, cheerful, intelligent lovemaking.
Sagittarius has a captivating sense of humor, and the woman he squires can count on good times. He’s much more likely to ask you to an informal lunch at an outdoor cafe than to a grand dress-up dinner. This isn’t because he is reluctant to spend money but simply because he prefers the easygoing approach in all things. He hates whatever is artificial, pompous, or pretentious. If practice made perfect, he’d be the world’s best lover. However, he doesn’t consider love to be an experience anything like the novelists tell it.
He is passionate but not intense: His great quality is enthusiasm, a sense of sheer enjoyment. What bothers him is that everyone else seems to take love so seriously. Why can’t everyone be like him— relaxed, buoyant, and undemanding?
Very often he isn’t interested in marriage or a long-term relationship. He wants to tarry for the fun and laughter, and move on. Happiness for this man is not a fixed goal, it’s a way of traveling. If you put enough happy days together, you end up with a happy life! If he’s decided that you’re his kind of woman, don’t be coy. He doesn’t regard a romantic fling as all that important, and he won’t understand if you do. If casual amour isn’t your style, then maybe Sagittarius isn’t for you.
How to Attract a Sagittarius
You won’t have trouble striking up a conversation. Sagittarians are interested in almost anything. When they’ve talked themselves out on their favorite subjects, they’ll decide you’re a fascinating conversationalist! Ask about their work, their friends, books they have read, and their reactions to a current news event. If you happen to like animals or outdoor sports, you are already halfway home with a Sagittarian.
There is a fine line between taking an interest in their interests and prying. Don’t overstep that boundary. Sagittarians are very wary of anyone who might be trying to corner them. If talking about generalities gives you the feeling that you’re sliding rapidly over ice, don’t worry. Matters will improve on better acquaintance. You may discover, in fact, that your problem is trying to ignore the direct, sometimes overly frank inquiries that Sagittarians will make. When they get to know you, they like you to share confidences with them or ask for their advice.
Sagittarians like outdoor dates: dancing under the stars, open-air concerts, picnics at the beach, skiing or sailing outings. They usually avoid large parties or too-close quarters because they cannot bear to be hedged in or confined. Never infringe on their freedom. Never let your emotional needs intrude on their private lives. And you’d be wise not to put too much stock in their promises. Their words are writ on water.
Enjoy being with Sagittarius but don’t think you’ve signed a lifelong contract, because Sagittarius doesn’t think so. And don’t look back with regret when it’s over. Sagittarius won’t.
Sagittarius & Aries
Both share a similar approach to sex (they make the most of every opportunity). Add to this a mutual love of the outdoors and a fondness for socializing, and you can see why they get along. They’re also intellectually well suited: Both have a wide range of interests and love to talk about them. Sagittarius is more philosophical about problems than Aries, who becomes more personally involved. The one question mark is their combustible temper. Arguments are heated but short-lived, and the making up will be fun. A perfect match.
Sagittarius & Taurus
Taurus wants to run things, but Sagittarius won’t be controlled. Sagittarius needs change, variety, and adventure. That proves irritating to steady, disciplined, home-loving Taurus. Taurus approves of tried-and-true ways of doing things, but Sagittarius will try anything. Blunt Sagittarius will say what it thinks at the drop of a hat, and that brings Taurus’s temper to a slow simmer. There are also money problems, since Sagittarius gambles today while Taurus hoards for tomorrow. A short future for this pair.
Sagittarius & Gemini
They’re both restless, adventuresome, imaginative, and fun-loving. No other opposite signs in the zodiac enjoy each other more than these two. There’ll be shooting stars in the bedroom for a while, but when the fireworks fizzle the bickering begins. Both have bright minds, but Sagittarius is outspoken and bossy, while Gemini likes to poke verbal fun. Too rootless and discontent to settle down, they eventually both succumb to the siren call of other interests, other loves. But parting should be amicable.
Sagittarius & Cancer
Cancer’s sensuality and romantic imagination intrigues inquiring Sagittarius. But Sagittarius is both venturesome and cerebral while Cancer is cautious and emotional, and this pair will never understand each other. Sagittarius can’t supply the security and stability Cancer needs or endure Cancer’s moodiness and jealousy. Without even being aware of it, blunt Sagittarius wounds sensitive Cancer at every turn. When Sagittarius seeks outside stimulation away from home, Cancer nags and whines and tries to hold on tighter. They’d be better as friends.
Sagittarius & Leo
There are exciting times ahead for this ardent pair. Self-confident Leo holds the key to unlocking Sagittarius’s deeper passions, and their love life is an adventure. They also enjoy travel, meeting new people, and each other’s company. Leo loves freedom as much as Sagittarius, so there won’t be problems with jealousy or possessiveness. Sagittarius has the lightness of touch necessary to cope with Leo’s monumental ego. A grand mating.
Sagittarius & Virgo
Shy, reticent Virgo can’t take the initiative, which makes Sagittarius think Virgo is prudish. Both have intellectual leanings, so they may end up having some interesting conversations in bed. Elsewhere, Virgo looks for order and simplicity whereas Sagittarius looks for excitement and new experiences. Virgo wants a long-term commitment; Sagittarius has to be free to roam. Sagittarius’s slapdash ways irritate meticulous Virgo. When Virgo carps and criticizes this is sometimes a way of showing it cares, but Sagittarius will never understand that. Little bodes well in this affair.
Sagittarius & Libra
Sagittarius is charmed by Libra’s artistic, elegant, easygoing nature, and Libra is fascinated by Sagittarius’s lust for adventure. Libra is more romantic than Sagittarius; otherwise the sexual harmony is delightful. Libra casts a tolerant eye on Sagittarius’s frolicking, and may even slow down Sagittarius’s pace, for Libra knows how to turn on sensual charm. Libra loves home and luxury, and Sagittarius prefers the outdoor life. But Librans are artists at working out such problems.
Sagittarius & Scorpio
Scorpio tries to clip Sagittarius’s wings and keep it in a cage. Brooding, pent-up Scorpio just can’t deal with open, ebullient, outspoken Sagittarius. Sagittarius’s far-roaming interests constantly make Scorpio jealous. Romantically, this is a volatile combination. Sagittarius is playful about sex and finds Scorpio’s intense, dominating passions too much to cope with. Soon Sagittarius’s inclination is to fly. Sagittarius is also quick-tempered and cools quickly, while Scorpio’s anger seethes until it erupts in fury. A temperamental, difficult union.
Sagittarius & Sagittarius
Some astrologers believe the only fit mate for a Sagittarian is another Sagittarian. They do seem perfectly suited: two independent, freedom-loving roamers. But this exciting, chaotic, eventful relationship is too unpredictable to suit either of them. They have a tendency to bring out the worst in each other. Each remains uncommitted and has so many outside interests that this pair inevitably drifts apart. But they’ll be good sports when the fun is over.
Sagittarius & Capricorn
Capricorn’s demands can’t be satisfied by Sagittarius’s flighty, lighthearted approach to love. Both have high aspirations in life, but their approaches are totally different. Capricorn wants to climb to the top of the mountain; Sagittarius wants to fly over the top. Sagittarius’s frank outspoken nature is sure to rile Capricorn’s sensibilities. Capricorn is restrictive, a loner, known for its dour outlook. Sagittarius is venturesome, sociable, and expansive. Capricorn is cautious with money and concerned with appearances—and Sagittarius is neither. Both should look elsewhere.
Sagittarius & Aquarius
These two share a great zest for living and a forward-looking viewpoint. Neither will try to tie down the other. Both seek to explore possibilities to the fullest, and they share an idealism about love and life. Aquarius is innovative. Sagittarius loves to experiment. There’ll be imaginative fun in the bedroom, and they’ll probably find out things that would surprise even Masters and Johnson. They’ll like each other too. True emotional intimacy may be slower to develop—but prospects are wonderful for the long haul.
Sagittarius & Pisces
Pisces is drawn to Sagittarius’s life force, and Sagittarius is attracted to Pisces’s spirituality. But Sagittarius needs a pal and Pisces needs a dream lover—and neither can help the other. Sagittarius’s naturally buoyant spirits are anchored by Pisces’s dependency and timidity. Highly emotional Pisces is looking for more than an occasional sex partner, and restless, freedom-loving Sagittarius is looking for nothing but. Bedroom high jinks keep things going for a while, but this affair slowly sinks into a quagmire.
