The interval between signs that are two steps apart in the Western zodiac, like Aquarius and Sagittarius, is called a Sextile. This complementary energy emphasizes relaxation, collaboration, and dependability.

Aquarius and Sagittarius, of course, are both great thinkers—Aquarius a universalist intellectual, Sagittarius a naturalist philosopher. There is a good chance that any discussion will quickly emerge as a free-flowing exchange of ideas, with each sign offering insights the other finds invaluable and enriching. Aquarius' Air element gives them an accepting and enthusiastic character, meaning Fire sign Sagittarius has the oxygen they need to surge forward, unrestricted and liberated. Meanwhile, Sagittarius' Fire naturally rouses Aquarius, giving them purpose, optimism, and excitement.

All forms of collaboration are strongly favored by this match. Aquarius has a Fixed modality, emphasizing productivity and real-world results, which forms a natural segue into Sagittarius' more reflective Mutable modality, with its instinctive concern for consequences and effects. Projects involving these two thus tend not only to exhibit intellectual or philosophical grandeur, but they are also likely to be realized successfully, and to maximize their farseeing potential.

If there is a downside to this match, it is that the breezy, relaxed energy between this pair can sometimes prove unreliable. In truth, this is less a reflection of the Aquarius/Sagittarius connection itself, and more the result of other combinations seeming more fervent or demanding. Sometimes friendship and camaraderie may seem more natural here than Romeo and Juliet-style devotion. More generally, it can be easy for these two to take their natural harmony for granted, and to prioritize more apparently urgent relationships. Whatever the context, however, it may prove advantageous in the long run to give this combination plenty of attention.

Ultimately, Aquarius and Sagittarius share an any-kind-of-weather dependability, and the great affinities between these signs can foster a lasting, warm, and deeply nourishing relationship.

Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis (click for attribution/s)

Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog), Christopher Guest (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig) : The actor and director have been married for over 36 years and have two children together. Asked about the secret to their relationship, Curtis described: "Don't leave. There's a recovery phrase that says, 'Stay on the bus…the scenery will change.' You think you're having a bad week, but stay on the bus, because one of these days you'll look out the window and it'll be beautiful. I think it can apply to almost anything where you feel unhappy in that moment. I'm not a wild romantic. I'm a realist. I respect him. And I just don't leave."

Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog), Michael Sheen (2/5/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The comedian and actor dated for four years before separating in 2017. Sheen described about their break-up: "After the Brexit vote, and the election where Trump became president, we both felt in different ways we wanted to get more involved...We both had very similar drives, and yet to act on those drives pulled us in different directions — because she is American and I’m Welsh. I felt a responsibility to do something, but it did mean coming back here [to the UK], which was difficult for us because we were very important to each other. But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do."

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Mia Farrow (2/9/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The legendary singer and actor were married between 1966 and 1968, and remained friends until Sinatra's death. Farrow has described Sinatra as "the great love of [her] life", and that she continued seeing him during her 13-year marriage to the director/actor Woody Allen: "[Sinatra] came back, over and over and over and over. I mean, we never really split up."

John Williams (2/8/1932, Aquarius Monkey), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The director and composer share perhaps the most famous artistic collaboration of modern history, spanning 50 years and 29 films to date. On first seeing Schindler's List, Williams remarked, "Steven, you need a better composer than I to score this film." To which Spielberg replied, "I know, but they’re all dead." In early 2023, Spielberg said: "In the art form that we’ve both chosen, [Williams] has been the most steadfast brother and collaborator that I’ve ever had in my life. And that’s how I would sum up how much I love [him]."

Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek (click for attribution/s)

Jim Morrison (12/8/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Ray Manzarek (2/12/1939, Aquarius Tiger) : The two musicians were college friends who founded The Doors. Speaking of the development of their music while still a duo at UCLA film school, Manzarek wrote in Light My Fire: My Life with The Doors: "Jim was coming up with more variations and permutations on his lyrics that required more and more invention on the keys from me. I loved it. He was exploding with ideas, and I was constantly pushing myself to try different and more imaginative chord changes…to support and embellish his poetry. We were definitely progressing. The Doors were on their way to creating an important body of work."

Tina Turner (11/26/1939, Sagittarius Rabbit), Erwin Bach (1/24/1956, Aquarius Sheep) : The legendary singer and music producer have been together since 1985 and married since 2013. After a famously toxic marriage to fellow musician Ike Turner, Tina Turner described meeting Bach as follows: "I could have ignored what I felt—I could have listened to the ghost voices in my head telling me that I didn’t look good that day, or that I shouldn't be thinking about romance because it never ends well. Instead, I listened to my heart. I left my comfort zone and made it a priority to get to know Erwin."
