It's Sagittarius Season: Here's What Your Zodiac Sign Says About Your Relationships

Are your zodiac signs compatible? How can you make a relationship work with any sign? Your love horoscope helps you understand romance through the lens of astrology.

Sagittarius people are born November 22–December 21. What is this sign like in love and relationships?

In love, Sagittarius is full of contradictions. Symbolized by the centaur, the mythical half-horse/half-human, you're governed by both animal instincts and enlightened thinking. Sagittarius rules morals, wisdom, higher education—along with the hips and thighs. Although you're always striving for divine inspiration, you've got a serious lust for life's "earthly pleasures." No wonder you're often torn in two directions!

As a passionate fire sign, you throw yourself into everything with the force of a speeding train. Keeping up that pace is nearly impossible. Rein in the urge to merge, and stay committed to the life you had before you met "The One." Otherwise your fairy tale romance could fizzle as quickly as it sizzled.

Sagittarians are dreamers, always creating huge projects. Ruled by expansive Jupiter (the largest planet in our solar system), you think BIG with everything. You long to create new worlds—like Sagittarians Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg. You need a mate with enough vision to encourage you but one who's still grounded enough to reassure you when the going gets tough.

A late-blooming sign, you can be a notorious bachelor(ette) in your early years. Sagittarius is the sign of the hunter, and the chase thrills you. You're not afraid to brag about your conquests either. With your honesty and good humor, you rarely make enemies, since you tell your flings up front that you're just looking for a good time. In fact, you may have a long roster of exes who've morphed into close friends.

As the zodiac's optimist, you always see your mate's potential. Warning: Be sure that the object of your affection is actually dedicated to fulfilling it. You are one of the zodiac's most generous signs, and you'll gladly share your financial resources to help your love get ahead. Those rose-colored glasses can drain your emotions and your bank account if you aren't careful. For Sag, love is blind, but lust is blinder.

Bottom line: Don't let physical attraction overshadow your need for a supportive partner who pulls their weight. Sharing your wisdom is one thing, but playing life coach will drain you in the end. Ask yourself: Is this relationship taking place in my head or in the present? Or does it suck today, but I'm hoping that it's gonna be great once they get a new job/forgive their mother/move out of the basement/leave their spouse?

Hope is your addiction, and it ain't a healthy one. Since spiritual Sags love to read, a good self-help book and some creative visualization can help you get out of such a trap. Writing down your "love visions" in a clearheaded moment can serve as a checklist when you feel yourself going off the deep end for Mr. Wrong.

Fortunately, Sagittarius is the zodiac's luckiest sign. Although you play with fire, you always bounce back once you wise up. Life always throws you another grand opportunity, and if your partner doesn't come along for the ride, you can set sail and move forward to new adventures once you put your mind to it.
