Scorpio Woman & Sagittarius Man in Love

1
In love, a Scorpio woman is deep, intuitive, and emotionally intense. Get ready to answer questions about your secrets, your childhood, your deepest fears, everything. She’s known to tease out serious emotions from her partners, but that passion may come at a price. Her intensity can lead her to have very high, specific standards—and she’s not always one to forgive.^{[1]

Scorpio-Sagittarius Relationship Strengths

1
Scorpio will admire Sagittarius’ friendliness and enthusiasm. Around him, Scorpio will feel like a great weight has been lifted; she’ll be a lighter, more positive, more fun-loving person. Scorpio will feel lovestruck watching Sag shine at social events. Sag, to attract her, show off your positivity and warmth. Disarm the intense Scorpio with your jokes, perspective, and natural charisma.
- When she’s stressed, diffuse her mood with humor: “Bummer that it’s raining—but I haven’t showered in like two days, so I’m actually kind of stoked.”
- Casually offer her a light, positive perspective: “I love being here with you. We only have the present, right? I want to really enjoy it.”
- Use charm to help her feel included at parties. Throw your arm around her playfully: “You know, Tara is actually an amazing songwriter…”
2
Sag will obsess over Scorpio’s intelligence and curiosity. When he asks her huge, open-ended questions about the universe, Sag will feel floored by Scorpio’s thoughtful, intuitive responses. The more she talks, the more he’ll want to listen. Scorpio, never leave a question unanswered. Be honest and don't be afraid to rant a little—because Sag will genuinely love hearing what you have to say.
- Give insightful responses to his thought-provoking questions: “Yeah, maybe we do live in a simulation. But I think the question is whether or not it matters..."
- When you disagree, explain why and offer detail: "I have to be real with you. I disagree. Reading doesn't make you less social, it increases empathy.
- Talk about things that fascinate you because your passion will shine through: "I just feel like psych is the most fascinating subject on the planet. Don't you?"

Sexual Compatibility

Sex between you two will be fiery, passionate, and totally thrilling. You’re both deeply sexual signs—and you’ll have a blast mixing things up, sharing your wild fantasies, and trying anything once. You two are super open and adventurous in bed—so use that to your advantage. Explore each other's niche desires. Act out one another's dreams between the sheets.^{[2]

- Sagittarius, try to give Scorpio some of the emotional intensity she desires. While you two get intimate, tell her how you feel and stare deeply into her eyes.
- Scorpio, invite Sag on a camping trip and pack your favorite lingerie. He loves getting adventurous, and this’ll give the word a whole new meaning.
- Both of you enjoy a super high sex drive. Initiate physical intimacy often, because this’ll be an effective way for you two to connect.

Section 5 of 8:

Emotional Compatibility

You're polar opposites here, but that doesn't have to be your downfall. Sag is all about keeping things light and casual, whereas Scorpio craves intensity and deep dark emotional truths. Instead of letting this defeat you as a couple, use your individual talents to add to your partner's life. Act thoughtfully and intentionally, and you two could balance each other out—not drive each other crazy.
- Sag, lend Scorpio your optimism. Make positive comments, point out beautiful things around you, and celebrate everything—even stuff that seems small.
- Scorpio, inspire Sag to reflect on his emotions. Share your own feelings to set a precedent, ask him thoughtful questions, and show that you won't judge him.
- When your efforts stop making your partner feel balanced (and instead, start making them feel a little annoyed) take time away. You both love time alone, too!

Section 6 of 8:

Communication Compatibility

If Sag and Scorpio aren't careful, they could fall into constant conflict. Sag is a fire sign, meaning he's not afraid of a fight. Though she’s a water sign, Scorpio is known for her stubbornness. To avoid unhealthy patterns, focus on keeping the peace, not personal pride. Take breaks to de-escalate and make patience a habit in your relationship.
- When you sense that a fight is brewing, try de-escalating. Make each other laugh, diffuse tension with a hug, or take a break from each other.
- Make rules as a couple to keep fights from getting too intense, like no name-calling, no bringing up grudges, or no mentioning certain sensitive topics.
- Incorporating positive reminders and self-talk can help you be more patient with each other. Remind yourself of your goals: "At the end of the day, I'd rather find a way to move past this than be right."^{[3]

Trust Compatibility

If there’s one area Scorpio and Sag need extra work—it’s with loyalty. Scorpio craves devotion in love more than any other sign. On the other hand, Sag might value his personal freedom more than any other sign. Work hard to find common ground here. Focus on honesty, open communication, and patience. Stick to your compromise, because this connection is worth it.^{[4]

- Establish your needs and boundaries early on: "I don't need to be attached at the hip with you, but I do need to know that I can trust you."
- Be honest. Don’t make promises you can’t keep because you’re afraid of losing your partner. Instead, be upfront about your limits and try to find a compromise.
- Find a middle ground that leaves you both happy (and stick to it!): "I can handle staying open for now, but I still need to know that I can rely on you. I also want to reopen the conversation in a couple of months."

Shared Values
