Sagittarius Friend Compatibility

Sagittarius Friendship Style

Sagittarius is loyal, loving, and the type of person you can feel has your back even if you've only known them for 24 hours. That said, a Sagittarius isn't interested in your drama, and doesn't have a lot of patience for friends who say one thing and do another. A Sagittarius is incredibly loyal, but won't hesitate to let you know if they see any faults or anything they feel you could be doing better. A Sagittarius collects friends, but may not be the best at keeping up. They like friendships IRL and in real time; they are great at reconnecting with after a decade or two lapse, and don't worry about the small things. In their mind, a long conversation is far better than a birthday card.

Best Friend Match for Sagittarius: Aquarius

This fire sign and air sign can be a great match. Both signs are adventurous, independent, and march to the beat of your own drums. Neither sign is very concerned with the "shoulds" of a friendship, and both are interested in getting to know each other on a deeper level. This pair of friends can push each other to explore, travel, and get out of their comfort zone. They're also honest with each other, and truly bring out the best in each other.

How to Make Friends with a Sagittarius

Be adventurous, brave, bold, and spur them on a little bit. A Sagittarius loves a challenge. Ask them to play you in table tennis, go head to head in bar trivia, or even share something you learned from a recent news article or book and start a debate-a Sagittarius loves to think on their feet and admires independent thinking.

How to Stay Friends with a Sagittarius

Give them a long leash. A Sagittarius cannot be contained, and expressing disapproval or raising an eyebrow at the way they live their lives-especially if what they are doing is simply living outside the box-will make them drop you, fast. Don't pry into a Sagittarius' life. They will share information when they're ready, but grilling them or giving them a third degree will only make them run for the hills. Finally, it's important to note that a Sagittarius never does things "just because." You may not get a birthday card, and it's not because a Sagittarius isn't thoughtful, it's that they don't believe in gestures just because. When a Sag gives you a gift, trust that it truly means something important.

3 Reasons Why Sagittarius Make Great Friends

  1. Sagittarius inspires and challenges you. Are they fearless? No. They feel the fear and do it anyway, and watching the confident way they trailblaze can help you be more confident in your own life, too.
  2. They're intelligent AF. Get a Sagittarius talking about a topic they love, and you'll always learn something new, and probably step away from the conversation feeling like you want to do a deep dive into that subject, too.
  3. Honest Sagittarius will never talk behind your back, and if they're unhappy with you, you will hear from them first. Sags aren't interested in drama, and a fight will always bring you closer.
