For a lot of fire signs, there’s a fine line between anger and arousal. There’s just something so sexy about someone who is smart enough to make you just mad enough that you want to chase them for a bit. You really said that? You really, sincerely said that with your chest? Fire signs are attracted to people with gall, people who like to stir shit up once in a while. Yes, a little toxic. But exciting!!

Sagittarius is a fire sign.

Gemini is the spiciest sign in the zodiac. Geminis are fucking weird. If a Gemini likes you, they don’t say normal things like “I think this video game is really fun.” They say really weird things like “My secret hobby is to play this game and pretend to be a dictator ordering my minions around.” If they like someone, they don’t say “I think so-and-so is really cute.” They say things like “I think so-and-so has really weird eyelashes” and giggle like a maniac. Even when they express normal things, Gemini will phrase them in the most extreme way possible for some reason.

What I’m trying to say…Sagittarius likes exciting people. Gemini is a provocative spirit. These two signs find each other very exciting. Gemini is always jumping around from one perspective to another. Sagittarius is trying to go to outer space. What more can I say?

But guess what? Gemini and Sagittarius relationships are like dynamite. They spark, they go bang, and then they have a way of evening out.

Not all Gemini and Sagittarius relationships end fast. People with strong placements in these signs can stay together for a long time. But the energy of the relationship is mutable. That means constant change, just to keep things interesting. Both Gemini and Sagittarius like to keep things interesting. Neither like to be bored.

Take Britney Spears and the guy she was with for two weeks—Colin Farrell. In her words, they were all over each other in a brawl for two weeks and then they ended it. When they talk about that fling, you can’t actually tell if they were fucking or fighting. It seems like both.

This isn’t a quiet partnership. These two are chatty. They’re inventive. They make a lot of noise.

The most famous Gemini and Sagittarius relationship study is the supercouple formed by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Now, I don’t know a whole lot about their relationship but I have heard a lot about it. You can’t not hear about it. All throughout my whole childhood, every single tabloid made the big bucks printing stories about these two. But you hear about it and you hear about it and you realize—what is actually going on? Why is it taking them so long to get divorced? How did they get these kids?

You get the sense that this is a relationship where things on the ground are constantly changing. There are no absolutes. Things might be going one way (they’re breaking up) and then things will just flip 180º (they’re getting back together). Brangelina was very on and off and for the most random reasons—airplane issues, wine, etc.

This is the feeling that I get with Gemini and Sagittarius relationships—instant and overwhelming attraction and then utter confusion.

Confusion is good! A lot of people enjoy confusion. I think that both Gemini and Sagittarius enjoy it because both of them like that feeling where your brain hole is getting blown open by world changing information. You know that feeling? It’s that feeling of chaotic randomness that you get when you read about theoretical physics or alchemy.

Let me outline a typical Gemini Sagittarius interaction for you just to give you a sense of the randomness.

Gemini will ask Sagittarius a compelling but socially invasive question. Let’s say that the two are meeting for the first time and Gemini asks Sagittarius, “But are you happy in life?” Sagittarius doesn’t get scared like other signs might with Gemini’s questions. Sagittarius will ponder the question because Sagittarius, being Jupiterian, loves big ideas. They’ll actually consider it. Then, they’ll say something like “Well, I recently read a book about how joy within capitalism masks material states of inequality.”

Of course, Gemini isn’t fazed either. Gemini is ready to engage because Gemini likes to argue. They’ll ask for the name of the book to read later and then they’ll say something like, “No! I think that joy is wonderful. Joy is the thing that makes us human. Joy is the antidote to alienation which capitalism tries to promote. You’ve got it all wrong.”

Gemini’s argumentativeness gets Sagittairus all excited. They’ve been wanting to have an intellectual debate but no one has been so willing until now! And so off they go. The two of them start to spar. A whirlwind begins. Gemini loves detail and Sagittarius loves broadness. They’re talking about the same things but their minds are working in two opposite directions.

From the outside, it’s hard to know what is going on. I’ll say that. This article is hard for me to write because I feel confused by these dynamics. Are these people flirting or are they fighting?

I honestly think that Gemini and Sagittarius get along very well. Yes, these two signs are opposed to each other but the opposition is mutable. Both are willing, even excited, to change. Mutable oppositions are easier than cardinal ones because mutable oppositions always contain two signs that are ruled by Hermes and Zeus. Hermes was Zeus’s favorite child because Hermes loves to provoke Zeus. That’s oppositional energy but it’s not enemy energy.

But why are some Gemini and Sagittarius relationships so short lived? The two signs get along so exceptionally well.

First of all, short lived relationships aren’t a bad thing. Look at Britney. She had fun on the fling and seems positive about it. It lasted for two weeks. Second of all, signs that are opposed to each other can over promote the other. Gemini loves random information and Sagittairus loves imagination. Neither of them like to think about the practical side of life. What happens when they are together? Who is going to be doing the budgeting and washing the dishes?

That’s right—Gemini and Sagittarius like to keep things interesting. Sometimes, they keep things so interesting that they forget to talk about the boring stuff like what their life plans are and if they want to go steady. They don’t end up getting to it because they just have so many other interesting things to talk about.

Silliness can be really revitalizing. That element of chaos can be the perfect energy to get you moving and curious about life again as in the case of Britney during the difficult moment when she had her fling. And that can be fine. When you encounter a Gemini and Sagittarius who have been together for a long time and have made life plans together, you’re encountering people who have changed their dynamics many times. You’re encountering people who have worn out mere interest and decided to build something solid together.

That can be cool if it’s what you want. It also doesn’t have to be. Gemini and Sagittarius have fling energy. They can make it last for years upon years. They also don’t have to. They will choose to if sustaining a relationship is interesting enough.
