Scorpio and Sagittarius — the verdict

Neighbouring signs with opposite instincts about exposure. Scorpio guards; Sagittarius announces. Sagittarian honesty is indiscriminate and Scorpio's privacy is absolute, so the same trait each considers a virtue reads as a violation to the other. There is real attraction — both are intense — but the operating rules have to be negotiated explicitly.

Beyond Scorpio and Sagittarius compatibility

Sun signs cannot determine whether a relationship will succeed. If you want another perspective on what is happening between you, describe your situation to a human reader. Your first question and answer carry no reading charge, once per person; some new accounts require an initial balance deposit before sending.

Your first question is free. Some new accounts require an initial balance deposit before sending. A reader's reply is never billed; response time depends on the reader. If you continue in chat, any remaining free messages are used first, then your balance is charged at the reader's message rate. Free-message limits apply across readers.

Reader accounts can see your question while it waits to be picked up. Once one takes it, only that reader can reply, and the conversation stays between the two of you. It is never published or shown on your profile.
