The Sagittarius/Pisces combination brings together two women who approach life very differently, yet their relationship can be complementary. Sagittarius, a fire sign, is an aggressive, independent individual; Pisces, a water sign, is highly sensitive and receptive in her approach to life. The Sagittarian woman brings a spark and fresh vitality to the relationship, and the Pisces woman gives her Sagittarian partner the nourishment of emotional support. The Sagittarian may sometimes feel restricted by the Pisces emotional tendency, and the Pisces may feel neglected by the restless independence of her Sagittarian partner.
The values of these two women are very different. The Sagittarian woman is primarily concerned with the world of ideas, and what is most important to her is the capacity of her intellect to gain a comprehensive view of life. The Pisces woman works almost entirely through her feelings and intuition, and feels an emotional kinship with life in a way that goes beyond conceptual knowledge. The Sagittarian will find it difficult to understand the way the Pisces reacts, and the Pisces may be hurt by something the Sagittarian has said, not realizing the implications to her Pisces partner. She may find her Sagittarian partner rash and insensitive at times, as the Sagittarian woman is frank and outspoken and finds it frustrating that the Pisces woman has trouble expressing verbally what she is feeling. When the Pisces does express her deeper emotional feelings, the Sagittarian may tend to close down and want to avoid communicating at this level of intimacy.
In spite of these difficulties, these two women can, with a little effort, be very helpful to each other. Each woman in her own way is a great dreamer and visionary. Both are searching for something that lies beyond immediate practical reality, and neither one is easily content with staying in a comfortable but stagnant rut. Both are flexible and adaptable and love change. The Sagittarian woman can bring a clearer mental perspective to her Pisces partner's sometimes confused emotions, and the Pisces woman can bring an emotional depth as well as a psychic dimension to her Sagittarius partner's intellectual life. Together these two women will find that their ideals, visions, and dreams are stimulated by each other, and together they will make great plans and sense all kinds of new possibilities. In reality, they may never take action on these ideas as neither cares for the drudgery of carrying out the details to completion, but they have fun dreaming and exploring.
Sexually, they can be compatible if the Saittarian woman learns more sensitivity in her approach to the Pisces. The Pisces thrives on personal attention from her lover and the Sagittarian may be off with her outside activities so often that she doesn't spend enough time in nurturing the relationship. Pisces women don't react positively to what they consider abandonment, and may withdraw into depression and melancholy. The happy-go-lucky Sagittarian may have problems understanding this reaction, and tend to withdraw from such demands, wanting even more independence from the relationship. If the Sagittarian can learn to express herself warmly and compassionately and to include her Pisces partner in her activities, these two women can develop a romantic and tender connection. It will help the relationship if the Pisces will learn to nurture herself and not be dependent on her Sagittarian partner for fulfillment.
