Sagittarius in love: Sagittarius wants a partner in adventure, not a cage. Warm, fun, and honest, they bring optimism and spontaneity — but need freedom, growth, and a sense of shared exploration to commit.
Fire signs run on momentum and want a partner who can keep up, which is why the other two fire signs sit high and the water signs ask for the most translation. As a mutable sign it adapts and drifts, so the tension is with the other mutable signs, where nobody holds the line.
The tradition usually names Aries (3rd), Leo (4th), Libra (2nd), Aquarius (1st) as Sagittarius's classic matches and Virgo (9th), Pisces (12th) as the difficult ones. On our scale, which scores element, modality and opposition rather than reputation, the two mostly agree, which is what you would expect when the tradition and the arithmetic are both reading the same elements.
Best match on our scale is Aquarius at 92/100; the pairing that asks the most of both people is Pisces at 43/100. A low score is a translation problem, not a verdict: plenty of the hardest pairings on this list are also the ones people describe as the most alive.

How to read these scores
Element, modality and opposition, weighed the way the elements and modalities page explains. What a Sun-sign score cannot see is a birth chart, so treat it as the opening read and run the synastry calculator with both charts for the real thing.
Sagittarius's element-mates are Aries and Leo, and their hubs are the natural next read. The whole grid is on the zodiac compatibility page.
