They can live together, though the first year costs both of them some habits. Scorpio wants to know where the evening went; Sagittarius cannot see why that needs reporting.
The signs sit side by side, thirty degrees apart. That angle is a Semisextile, the quietest one in the circle: nothing forces these two together and nothing pulls them apart, so whatever they build, they build on purpose.
Water and Fire do not argue about facts here, they argue about volume. Scorpio values what was said once, to one person. Sagittarius values what was said out loud, at a table of eight.
Jealousy starts with a four-hour delay
Scorpio notices timing rather than lipstick. A reply that used to take ten minutes took four hours, and the question arrives later, phrased precisely.
Sagittarius answers honestly and cannot see why honesty is not enough. On one side the conversation is finished, on the other it has just opened. One habit removes half of it: say where the evening went before anybody has to ask.
The angle between Scorpio and Sagittarius
Scorpio and Sagittarius stand 30° apart on the zodiac wheel, and astrology calls that distance the Semisextile. The angle never changes: it is the same for every pair of these two signs, whatever else the two charts hold.
Water and Fire are the classically awkward elements: what one of them treats as obvious, the other has to be talked into.
Fixed and Mutable are two different speeds: one sets the pace, the other decides how long it lasts.
The pair has two rulers, Pluto and Jupiter, and each side reads the relationship through its own.
Where this pair rubs
Small promises break first. Sagittarius agrees to something at midnight and has lost it by morning, and Scorpio reads a forgotten promise as information about where they stand.
The second thing is what gets told at a dinner table. Sagittarius turns a private week into a good story, and Scorpio spends the rest of the evening saying nothing.
Two agreements carry them: name out loud which subjects stay inside the house, and give no promise you would not write down.
Money goes on the road and into reserve
Sagittarius pays for flights, courses and dinner for ten. Scorpio keeps an amount nobody is told about. Each one thinks the other is careless, and each is half right: without the reserve a trip turns into debt, and without the trips the reserve just sits there.
Friendship suits them better than a shared flat
Scorpio and Sagittarius stay friends for years while meeting twice a year. At that distance Sagittarius never looks unreliable and Scorpio never looks heavy.
Living together removes the ease inside a month. Somebody has to settle how many guests a week the flat takes and when an evening ends, and this pair has to say the answer out loud instead of assuming it.
Compare the real charts
A Sun sign is only the outline. A synastry chart puts two full birth charts side by side — Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses — and shows where the two of you actually meet.

Answers
Scorpio and Sagittarius: common questions
They do once they have settled the traffic through the house and how often each one leaves it. Nothing settles by itself, because Sagittarius keeps widening the circle while Scorpio keeps narrowing it.
Because Sagittarius uses the same warm tone on an old friend and on a stranger in a train queue, while Scorpio reads tone as a map of who belongs. The jealousy is about an unclear border far more often than about a rival.
Yes, with Sagittarius on clients and new contacts and Scorpio on numbers, risk and deadlines. A shared account with no records ends that partnership faster than any argument does.
Stored silence. Scorpio does not ask a second time, Sagittarius treats an unasked question as agreement, and by the time either of them speaks, one has already decided.
