Scorpio wants depth and Sagittarius wants the horizon. You're neighbors on the wheel, but you experience love in almost opposite ways. There's attraction and a lot to learn, though living together takes work.
How you fit together
You sit side by side on the wheel, yet you see the world in very different ways. One of you begins where the other ends, and depending on the day, that either enriches you or throws you off.
Scorpio and Sagittarius in love
There's fascination from the start. Scorpio is drawn to Sagittarius's cheer and honesty, and Sagittarius is intrigued by Scorpio's magnetism. You share something important: you both hate hypocrisy. Sagittarius helps Scorpio drop some emotional weight, and Scorpio shows Sagittarius that love also means commitment. When the mix works, you both grow more than you expected.
The difficulties show up when you share a home. Sagittarius needs to go out, travel and see people, and Scorpio needs exclusivity and to feel the relationship comes first. Scorpio's jealousy clashes with how independent Sagittarius is, and Sagittarius's lightness looks to Scorpio like a lack of investment. If you don't really listen to each other, one will feel caged and the other only half loved.
At first the attraction is very intense. Sagittarius brings play and adventure, Scorpio brings depth. To make it last, Sagittarius needs to get more invested and Scorpio needs to leave room for spontaneity.
As friends
You have a blast talking about life, death and the meaning of it all. Sagittarius makes Scorpio laugh, and Scorpio gives Sagittarius advice that hits the mark.
At work
Sagittarius has vision and enthusiasm, Scorpio has strategy and persistence. It works if you respect each other's pace.
What brings you together

Your elements
Water and fire attract and fear each other. There's passion, but also steam. Fire feels water putting it out, and water feels fire burning it.
Your modalities
One brings firmness and the other brings flexibility. The fixed sign offers security and the mutable sign brings fresh air.
Talk plainly about how much freedom and how much closeness each of you needs, and don't assume anything.
