Sagittarius and Pisces

They’ve talked about moving to the coast and opening something, or perhaps a commune. They mean it. Neither of them has looked up what that would cost.

Two ways of looking up

Astrology’s traditional rulers give both signs to Jupiter, the planet of hope and meaning, and it shows. Both believe life means more than it looks like on a spreadsheet. Sagittarius looks for that meaning out there, in travel, books and teachers. Pisces looks for it within, in music, dreams and compassion. Sagittarius cheers Pisces up as few people can, and Pisces gives Sagittarius a quiet place where their heart’s taken seriously.

They’re also both mutable and forgiving. Neither is likely to hold a grudge for long, which is a real blessing.

The joke that lands wrong

Sagittarius tends to say what’s true, loudly, on the way out the door. Pisces takes it in, and carries it around for a week. “You’re being oversensitive” might be the worst thing one person can say to the other, and it’s the first thing Sagittarius reaches for. Pisces responds by going vague and absent, and Sagittarius, who can’t read that signal, assumes all’s well and goes out.

Both can avoid the plain facts. Money gets spent on hopes, and neither wants to be the one who brings up the bill. A couple like this can go along for a surprisingly long time on a beautiful plan that doesn’t actually exist.

Bringing in the ground

Sagittarius can stop after the honest sentence and look at Pisces’s face. It takes two seconds. Pisces can say “that stung” out loud, because Sagittarius will almost always be sorry and will happily fix it. Get help with the practical things: a friend who’s good with money, an app, a shared date for bills. It’s no shame to outsource what neither of you enjoys.

Where’s the earth in your charts? That matters more for you than most. Read Moon square Mars if you’ve got that, too, since it’s a very common shape for this particular hurt.
