Sagittarius Matches

I will begin with the sign most compatible to Sagittarius and move down from there.

Also, examples are very difficult to find, so some won't have examples just yet, if I discover them, I'll revise my post.

Sagittarius - Aquarius is the second most harmonious match of the zodiac.  Neither sign is defined by emotion in relationships, which helps them to understand each other.  Neither will expect to be fully committed or expect it from the other.  Both are lovers of the new and newly innovated, they also are signs that create people who enjoy living (meaning they appreciate having life quite literally).  They are also both idealists and typically humanitarians.  Although Aquarius is known for being opinionated, Sagittarius won't mind them being solid in their opinions.  They just won't care all that much.  Sexually, they are very compatible as well.  In both everyday life and such they will almost always have fun together.

In this relationship it doesn't really matter who is who gender-wise.  They are just compatible together regardless.

Examples:  Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston; Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest

Sagittarius - Aries is one of the MOST sexual matches of the zodiac.  Although specific interests may very, typically the two enjoy each other's company because they can both constantly share about their favorite activities.  Sagittarius is usually willing to try anything at least once, so if their interests don't match initially, Aries can plan for the Sagittarius to at least try out some of the Aries' interests.  They are also both very active and social, preferring to constantly be engaged.  Both can be very explosive when bothered by something and both typically hide their sensitivities, but they tend to get over things pretty fast, so it ends up being okay.

This relationship isn't very gender dependent either.

Example:  Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson

Sagittarius - Leo is a pretty good match.  Leo and Sagittarius are equally social and are lovers of life.  Leos seem intriguing to Sagittarians because Leos are confident and therefore striking in a way and they also seems like a challenge to conquer, which can be good or bad.  But, Leos typically cannot be conquered unless you were to insult them significantly, then they'll essentially cry about.  The fact that Leos cannot be conquered keeps Sagittarius constantly on its toes.  Leo will allow Sagittarius freedom as long as they Sagittarius doesn't cheat.

This sign is somewhat gender dependent.  Leo women tend to have a difficult time in relationships.  So as long as the woman is a Sagittarius, it should be wonderful.  I'm not saying it won't work out for a Leo woman in this relationship, but typically the only match for a Leo woman that really works out is with Libra, Leo - Leo is a perfect match for raising a family but doesn't usually work out romantically.

Example:  Gary Morton and Lucille Ball

Sagittarius - Libra is an interesting match.  Librans can charm Sagittarians, but if it weren't for that fact, they probably wouldn't be a very good match.  Sagittarius will always keep Libra on its toes because balance will be constantly thrown out of place, not necessarily in bad ways, but Libra will constantly be trying to fix this.  Librans are a bit too home-bound for Sagittarians, but because Libra is so charming, Sagittarius will be intrigued enough to stick around.  This couple is a bit unnatural together, but if the Libra loves the Sagittarius, it'll work out.  In this case, the relationship is dependent on the Libra.

It is most likely that if the Sagittarius is female, the relationship will be more smooth than if the Sagittarius is male.  Both signs are masculine and like to dominate.  Not being able to dominate would bother a Sagittarius male and the Libra female is likely to be a little too sensitive and romantic for the Sagittarius to truly appreciate.

Example:  

Sagittarius - Taurus is a common match although they aren't considered very Astrologically compatible.  Taurus is probably the most fixed of the fixed signs and is very hard to reason with once their minds are set.  They also despise criticism and Sagittarius will say whatever it is thinking.  Also, typically Taurus likes control, while Sagittarius CANNOT stand being controlled.  Taurus also HATES change, while Sagittarius needs change to be happy.  Taurus takes comfort in home and material goods, while Sagittarius likes things, they don't need to hang-on to things.  This can cause problems if they ever get to the point of settling down together.  Overall, it can make a very unhappy marriage.  If the Sagittarius is truly in love or committed the relationship could work, but this is very unlikely at least on the long-term for the Sagittarius.

Gender isn't really applicable.

Example:

Sagittarius - Gemini is unlikely to work, as they are opposites; however, this match is the most favorable of all opposite matches. Both have selfish tendencies; Gemini consciously and Sagittarius unconsciously.  They are an excellent match sexually.  They are also both very active and will enjoy each other's company, as long as remains on a superficial level.  Gemini can  be a bit demanding and that's not something Sagittarius can handle.  As friends and sexual partners, these two are great, but further than that, they should stay away from each other.

Gender makes no difference in this relationship.

Example:  Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Sagittarius - Cancer rarely works outs.  Cancer is very sensitive, moody, and emotional.  Sagittarius can't handle the sensitivity nor emotion levels of Cancer.  The moodiness is intriguing to Sagittarius, but as soon as it looks deeper at Cancer, Sagittarius will want to run away on a new pursuit.  Also, it wouldn't work in the long run because Cancer loves home too much.

A Sagittarius woman with a Cancer man may work if the Sagittarius is very committed.  But, it's even unlikely because she'll become miserable from being at home too much.  Sagittarians NEED change or they become miserable.

Example:

Sagittarius - Virgo both enjoy conversations, which is the only reason this couple may be intrigued by one another.  At first Virgo will greatly entertain Sagittarius with its sarcasm and sometimes fun-loving behavior, but after a while Sagittarius will begin to notice the calm and reserved behavior of Virgo and become very bored.  Virgo is also not sexual enough for Sagittarius.  Virgo will also expect commitment, which Sagittarius avoids.  Typically they don't understand each other, which for a while will intrigue Sagittarius, but eventually will just begin to annoy it.  As anything more than friends, this relationship should be avoided.

It is more likely that a Sagittarius woman will fall for a Virgo man, than the opposite.  The Virgo man may be intriguing enough for the Sagittarius woman if she's looking to have a family is is just very in-love with the man.  This is most likely if they were friends long before their relationship.

Example:

Sagittarius - Scorpio is one of the worst possible matches romantically.  Because Sagittarius is sooo active, Scorpio has a tendency to become majorly jealous and angry.  Scorpio is also a bit too intense both sexually and psychologically for Sagittarius to handle, as Sagittarius is such a lighthearted sign.  The two really don't understand each other.

I don't think gender plays a role here; both should stay away from each other.

Example:

Sagittarius - Sagittarius is a complicated match.  They share the same interests and values, yet by hypocrisy this couple tends to not last.  Neither partner is very committed on the surface and there tends to be a lot of issues of cheating.  From my observations of a couple both being Sagittarians, they are not committed in the short term, but tend to be committed in the long term.  They have their issues, including cheating, but come back together.  Totes complicated.

Example:

Sagittarius - Capricorn has a lot of issues as a match.  Capricorn is typically melancholy and not too pleased with life, while Sagittarius loves life.  Capricorn has its own set of rules on the best ways to get things down, usually being very conservative and cautious; whereas Sagittarius won't usually get caught up on the details.  If they can get over the little things that bother them about each other, it can work, at least for a time.  The big issue will probably end up being that Sagittarius isn't committed enough for Capricorn to be content and Sagittarius won't understand this.

I'd say that it's worse with a Sagittarius female and a Capricorn male because Capricorn males tend to be even more melancholy than Capricorn females.

Example:  Jane Austen and Tom Lefroy; Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth

Sagittarius - Pisces probably won't work out as a match.  Pisces is way too emotional for Sagittarius to handle in the long run.  Sagittarius can't understand why Pisces gets so riled up emotionally.  Pisces needs more sensitivity.

A Sagittarius woman is most likely not going to be okay with an emotional Pisces man; she'd think him too weak.  A Sagittarius man most likely wouldn't have patience for a Pisces woman.  So neither combinations are likely to work out.

Something New

Because of a recent request from a hallmate for an analysis between the match of Virgo-Sagittarius, I've decided to add a new "special" kind of blog post.  For each Astrological sign, I will be analyzing its match with all the other signs beginning with Sagittarius, as the analysis was requested by a Sagittarius and going through the signs of people on my hall first.  My hallmates, or Customs Group, includes two Sagittarius', two Capricorns, two Geminis, two Scorpios, an Aries, a Taurus, a Virgo (though technically two b/c our HA is also a Virgo), an Aquarius, and a Pisces.  After I've finished all the signs in roughly that order, I will then finish with the remaining signs - Cancer, Leo, and Libra.  I will not make redundant match analysis' (ex. Sagittarius - Aquarius is the same as Aquarius - Sagittarius, so I will not repeat the analysis when I analyse the matches for Aquarius).  My first post (for Sagittarius) will appear sometime over the next week (so it should be posted by next Tuesday).

One thing to keep in mind about Astrological matches (for romantic relationships specifically) is that although a match may typically be a "bad" one, matches are dependent upon Moon Signs and Ascendants, as well as the sexes of those in each sign.  In these posts, I will analyse only the compatibility of Sun signs and the role gender plays in it.  I will not analyse how the Moon and Rising signs play a role.

Bryn Mawr College Traditions

This is a non-detailed list of the traditions and superstitions that I am aware of at the current time at Bryn Mawr College.

1.  Customs Week - essentially freshwomen, transfer, and McBride student's orientation; lead by sophomores
2.  Tea Parties - depending on who is hosting the "Tea" there may or may not actually be hot tea; Teas are typically formulated around a specific topic or group; for example my Customs people hosted a Tea for my Customs group (which is the group of freshwomen on my hall) - I am planning on hosting an astrology Tea!
3.  Friendship Poles (which no longer exist) - whoever you're walking with must go around or through the poles by Pem Arch on the same side as you or you'll have a major argument
4.  Senior Steps - don't touch them unless you're a Senior, you won't graduate
5.  Senior Row - don't walk all the way down the path of trees in the middle of campus unless you are a Senior, you won't graduate; if you loop one, you're fine
6.  Bryn Mawr Chant - don't start it unless you are a Senior, you won't graduate
7.  Don't kiss on Moon Bench - you'll break-up with whoever you kiss
8.  Kiss under Rock Arch - you'll have a lasting relationship with the person you kiss
9.  All of the "bad" things can be reversed by giving a SINCERE offering to Athena, located in Thomas Great Hall
10.  Parade Night - freshwomen run through Pem Arch and down the concrete area there while being pelted with water balloons by the sophomores and flowers, candy, bread crumbs, glitter, and confetti by the juniors the first Friday after classes begin
11.  Step Sings - lots of singing
12.  Lantern Night - freshwomen receive their lanterns
13.  Hell Week - hazing week; includes Duck Pond Run (running to Haverford's duck pond and getting pushed in at the beginning of the month of FEBRUARY!)
14.  May Day - white dresses, pole dancing, singing, picnicking
15.  Senior Bell Ringing - Seniors each ring the bell in Taylor after they finish their finals for the number of their graduating class
16.  Fall Frolic - second Friday after classes begin where the student body gathers for picnicking and club sign-ups

There are probably more, but I don't know them yet.  :/  And some of the details have been left out in case any potential freshwomen read this, because at least for Parade Night, there are some surprises that I wouldn't want to ruin for them!  :)
