Can You Make Your Relationship with a Sagittarius Work if Your Signs Are Incompatible
Incompatibility of horoscope signs is one of those areas in which there are many differing opinions. While some people doubt the validity of signs when it comes to personalities, there are some traits that tend to work in favor of the sign under which you were born. If you read the information about Sagittarius and then compare it to people you know, it is highly likely they will exhibit at least some of those personality traits. Whether you accept the validity of the information, there is little doubt that it often turns out to be correct. You need to weigh the odds and decide if you are willing to face that struggles that you may face in this type of relationship.
Sagittarians tend to be very adventurous and hard working even to the point of neglecting their families. In order to make a relationship work with a Sagittarian you have to be willing to overlook these defects in their nature and pick up the slack. Even if your sign is not compatible with Sagittarius, you can make it work if you make the choice to fill in the voids and accept them for what they are. You cannot make demands that will interfere with their ideals such as telling them to slow down or spend time at home relaxing. You have to meet them on their level—you have to be the one willing to make compromises rather than expecting your Sagittarius partner to do it.
One area in which they are adamant is loyalty and faithfulness. You will not have to worry about what they might be doing when they are away from you, but at the same time unless you are willing to become a part of their active and adventurous lifestyle you can expect to spend a lot of time on your own. While this doesn’t mean you need to become a part of everything they do, the more you can learn to enjoy with them, the more time you will spend as a couple instead of being home alone. If you are the kind of person who is content to stay home glued to the television or reading a book you will not be content with a Sagittarius.
It takes a great deal of willpower to learn build a relationship with someone who is not compatible with your astrological sign. While it is possible to make that kind of relationship work it takes a great deal of willpower and determination from both partners with the other person being the one to make sacrifices. Can you make it work with two Sagittarians? That can be very difficult if not impossible, but again, it depends on how much the couple wants to stay together and how strong their feelings are. However, you must be prepared for a lifetime of struggles and compromises, not something that is easy for two people who are prone to anger and driven to career goals to accomplish.

The whole of the above is true but it seems slightly unfair for the other person making all the sacrifices just to please their sag. My Sagittarius ex eventually finished with me (a cancer) 10 months ago after 8 years together, he said in an email, “it feels like you’re trying to keep me in a box” also “I was happy before you I’ll be happy after you”
I feel drained after that relationship.

Sag’s often speak bluntly, but truthfully. The way I read it is that you were trying to contain him, perhaps even jealous of his freedom…which I’m sure that is not why you fell in love. Most are attracted to our free spirit, then spend the relationship accusing and pulling. As for the happy before part, that is harsh, but I imagine those words came from the frustration he had built up trying to figure out why you are so miserable and moody. My mother is a Cancer and my current boyfriend is a Cancer. I feel drained dealing with the both of them..but if you ask them, even though they are busy being selfish, it’s always everyone else’s fault. Kudo’s to your ex for escaping!

Hi Carla,
I too am a cancer and my husband is a sagi. We had an arranged marriage a year ago with all the horoscope matching et al. I don know how we could be matched atall when over the year we found out our substantial differences.Being a cancer emotions are my second nature and i cry quiet easily.He abhors it. My sagi is very very close to the description. He is very caring and responsible but finds fault in almost everything i do and essentially in my way of life.he says it is his constant try to make us better as a couple.So he essentially never accepted me as I am.I am sorry your relationship did not work out but i am not giving up on him. With perseverance and endless discussions(fights) i finally have managed to see through this devious sign. Should you meet a Sagi again, let your mind rule you all the time.Don get hurt by his frank comments cause they are mostly just and true.My husband says people should be happy always and that he is not emotionally dependent on me. Heart has very little place if you want a good life with a sagi.Good luck.

Ex-wife was a Sag and I’m a Cancer. I can totally relate to what Carley wrote. But I’m happier than ever with a non-Sag… not to difficult an accomplishment. My marriage had drained me too.

I liked the article…but then again, I’m a Sag
P.S. Cancer sign people are TOO SENSITIVE and TOO SMOTHERING . No offense but you probably DID keep him in a box… my ex (also a cancer) unsuccessfully tried to keep me in one for years. I hope you can find another water sign to be on the same page as you…I found another fire sign…MUCH BETTER

I am a sag, and my sister is a cancer. She is the most annoying, sensitive, dagger-throwing, smothering, depressing individual EVER! Constructive criticism is an act of love in my eyes, but in her eyes, they’re ‘fightin words’. Spend too much time with these folks, and jail doesn’t seem nearly as bad. They are loving, responsible, and nurturing, but they are just not for us. PARTY POOPERS!

My current boyfriend is a Sag. The above article is EXACTLY like him. He is currently away for the military and we were great when he was away.. but now we can only talk online and we constantly fight.. i cant tell you how many times iv taken his words and twisted them around. He doesnt mean what he says in a bad way but it seems that way to me. Im an Aries but on the edge of aries and taurus. (April 19th) He has recently told me that he thinks i hold him down. Hes not feeling the love that we had before and he hates that we constantly bicker all the time. I feel as tho he cares about work more than me. When hes home i had to almost beg him to make time for me. He also told me when we are not together he barely thinks about me because he gets so into his work and whatever else hes doing. its just not fair.. he never shows his emotions and its so hard to tell what hes feeling! Hes like a stone sometimes.. and when he comes back he says we will see how things go and he will choose if we need to take a break or break up

I am a virgo male and have been seeing a female saggitarius. Both of us had previous marriages and have had children that are grown. We have both learned from those marriages that ended. While each of us has our own tendencies each has also learned to overcome the negative characteristics of each sign and we connect intellectually, emotionally and sexually–all at a great level. It is inspiring to both of us how we relate and cannot see or have enough of each other. She does not have a quick temper. Is a responsible mom as she was a single mother for 7 years raising 3 children. I feel like a king when with her and am constantly charmed by her wit and observations and remarks. She is refreshingly open, honest and I trust her completely and never doubt what she says. Why would I. I adore her. She treats me as I have never been treated. Our lovemaking is out of this world as both of us are athletic and in excellent physical health–we can go hours. It is amazing.

I’m a scorpio and my gf of 7 years is a Sag; one of the most incompatible matches out there! I’m jealous, sensitive, demanding, and in need of commitment, and she is blunt, honest, a partier, and the life of the party. After being told so many times that our signs will never work I almost gave up. But this advice is right…stand your ground, be open-minded and understanding…know that a Sag will be a Sag forever and there’s nothing you can do about it except love them for who they are.
