This Is How Sagittarius Pairs With Each Zodiac Sign In Matters Of The Heart

Sagittarius loves in bounty. This freedom-loving, adventurous soul brings this same type of energy, passion, and open-mindedness into their relationships. They love because it feels good doing so, and there’s not much else to it.
Sagittarius in Love & Relationships
Sagittarius in general isn’t the most emotional sign when it comes to romantic relationships but they are still a valuable partner to have in life as they will always keep life exciting, fun, and purposeful. They live life on their own terms and inspire their partners to live life to the fullest as well. Being with a Sagittarius is like being on a rollercoaster that is always going uphill. You can’t really see where you are headed- but your stomach definitely has butterflies.
One of the best qualities about Sagittarius in love is that they truly make you feel special. This sign has explored the world and then some. They know different types of people, their travel knowledge is typically broad, and not to mention they have a unique spiritual philosophy on life that they love to dive into. So when they find someone they want to spend their time with, you know that someone is special as Sagittarius is a hard sign to pin down.
Sagittarius Love Compatibility: Best & Worst Matches in the Zodiac
Being that Sagittarius is a mutable sign, this sign has a higher chance of getting along with many other different signs, rather than just your typical fire and fire or fire and air duos. Sagittarius in love is spontaneous, loving, and unforgettable.
Who Are Sagittarians Most Compatible With?
Sagittarius + Aries Love Compatibility
Fire sign energy come together to create fireworks. Sagittarius and Aries are an electrifying couple. What makes this duo work so well is they understand each other on a base level and both see life through a similar lens. The passion that they direct toward life goes into their relationships as well and they both see the relationship as somewhere they can experience that passion, excitement, and love they are looking for. Passion runs high with this duo, and they thrive in active environments. This is the type of couple who like doing things together but also highly values each other's freedom and independence as well.
Sagittarius + Taurus Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Taurus aren’t a duo you see too often, and rightly so. These two live on opposite ends of the spectrum and don’t meet in the middle too often. They both thrive in different environments meaning date nights and time spent together may not be too fulfilling for both of them. The biggest factor that plays into the incompatibility of Sagittarius and Taurus is that Sagittarius prefers its freedom and Taurus prefers its stability. However, these two can learn a lot from each other if they decide to put their differences aside and focus on what they love about each other rather than their differences.
Sagittarius + Gemini Love Compatibility
This compatibility is bittersweet but mostly sweet. Sagittarius and Gemini are on exact opposite sides of the zodiac wheel, otherwise known as sister signs which brings them closer together. However, at the end of the day, these two signs are opposites. What makes this pairing excel in compatibility is that they are both curious, open-minded, and love a good adventure. This is the type of couple that likes to be out and about doing things, and they can be quite the showstoppers. This couple thrives when it comes to mental stimulation and they are a couple that encourages excitement within each other.
Sagittarius + Cancer Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Cancer can be an unexpectedly delightful pairing. What makes this compatibility better than most fire and water sign duos, is that there is a good give-and-take here. Sagittarius provides to the relationship what Cancer isn’t too focused on giving, and vice versa. For example, Cancer’s mind isn’t focused on philosophy, travel, and the world around them as much as Sagittarius is. Sagittarius’ mind isn’t focused on the home, stability, and their immediate environment, like Cancer’s homebody soul is. This works out for this pairing because they can complete the full picture together and provide each other with good reciprocity. Given the right circumstances, this pairing can work out well long-term for both of them.
Sagittarius + Leo Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Leo are an exciting duo. They may fight for the spotlight from time to time and can overall have ego clashes within this relationship, but for the most part, this is a pairing you see that lasts the long haul. There is a lot of love and admiration between these two because they both understand where each other is coming from. They both require the same type of zest in life, and sharing a common goal with your partner is a recipe for success at the end of the day. Sagittarius and Leo are going to the same place and at the same pace and these two show up in the relationship with a lot of joy doing so.
Sagittarius + Virgo Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Virgo are both mutable signs, and the relationship they form together has many different eras, being that both of these signs love to switch it up. Sagittarius and Virgo are a power couple nonetheless when you consider how they are both self-empowered and self-assured individuals. Think Jay-Z and Beyoncé. Sagittarius (Jay-Z) has his empire, and Virgo (Beyoncé) has her own as well, yet when you think of one you think of the other. This is because not only do both signs value their independence, but they put that same empowerment and love within their relationship as well, which helps it thrive.
Sagittarius + Libra Love Compatibility
This pairing is more common than the others, and you can immediately see how these two get along so well. Fire and air signs are one of the best when it comes to compatibility and they work out because they both get each other on another level. Being that Libra loves to love and you can find them in a relationship with any sign, they don’t have the same hangups when it comes to Sagittarius’ changeability as most signs do. Libra is a sign that can keep up with Sagittarius rather than try to hold them down or change their way of being. Libra loves their emotional freedom just as much as Sagittarius, and these two have a way of living in bliss together.
Sagittarius + Scorpio Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Scorpio are typically a pairing that is better off as friends. Within a friendship, it is easier to understand each other's differences and to put them aside for the sake of the friendship. However, romantically, this is easier said than done. Sagittarius and Scorpio are always on a different vibe. Sagittarius is in their mind, and Scorpio is in their feels. Meeting in the middle requires more effort than they are usually willing to give, especially when it comes to Sagittarius who doesn’t like to be bothered with such emotional waters. When they’re keeping things light, this relationship does well, but when things get serious, this relationship starts heating up in more suffocating ways than romantic for Sagittarius.
Sagittarius + Sagittarius Love Compatibility
A Sagittarius and Sagittarius duo is just wild, to be honest. I can see Sagittarius trying this pairing just for the fun of it. They could have a lot of adventures and fun times together, but ironically, the reflection that they see in one another is a little too close for comfort. When it comes to dating your sign, you are often confronted with aspects of yourself you hadn’t seen before and the truth can be uncomfortable for some. If both signs are willing to grow within themselves and confront any issues that may arise head-on, then this can work, but with Sagittarius being such a curious sign who loves to learn from others and loves the uniqueness of individuality, dating someone who is like them isn’t too enticing for them.
Sagittarius + Capricorn Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Capricorn is a duo that is more common than people may assume. Relationships with the signs next to yours have a different type of energy and compatibility because they are signs that learn a lot from each other and have a good give and take. Sagittarius and Capricorn both want a love that means something. Legacy is important for both of these signs, and they can create quite a legacy with each other. Capricorn excels in building the strong foundations needed for any relationship to survive, and Sagittarius brings the expansion needed for any relationship to thrive. If these two are on the same page, this can work.
Sagittarius + Aquarius Love Compatibility
This fire and air sign duo tends to be better in theory than reality, but if they are both in the right space emotionally, this can truly be a soulmate pairing that lasts the tests of time. What works here is that this couple has a lot of the same interests, and both genuinely just like each other. However, being that both of these signs aren’t the most romantic bunch of the zodiac, this can leave emotions dry and it can be difficult to know where each other truly stands as they aren’t the most expressive emotionally. If the love is truly there, they will be able to break this barrier, get out of their comfort zone, and let each other in more. If the relationship is not meant to be then there will always be this type of emotional barrier that makes it difficult to grow closer.
Sagittarius + Pisces Love Compatibility
Sagittarius and Pisces are an exciting and happy couple to be around. This is a Jupiter couple, as these mutable signs also share the same beloved ruling planet. They have an underlying energy of believing in the impossible and seeing the brighter side of the lens, and when they come together there is a lot of joy and love shared in this pairing. Commitment, however, can be a different story as that word means something different to both of them. If they can lay their expectations, needs, and wants for the relationship all out on the table, then misunderstandings are less likely and they can learn how to work together and make the relationship grow, rather than always feeling like they are moving in different directions and have to compromise more than they want.

'Sistas' Star Skyh Black On The Power Of Hypnotherapy & Emotional Vulnerability For Men
In this insightful episode of the xoMAN podcast, host Kiara Walker talked with Sistas star Skyh Black, as he opened up about his journey of emotional growth, resilience, and self-discovery. The episode touches on emotional availability, self-worth, masculinity, and the importance of therapy in overcoming personal struggles.
Skyh Black on Emotional Availability & Love
On Emotional Availability & Vulnerability
“My wife and I wouldn't be where we are today if both of us weren't emotionally available,” he shared about his wife and Sistas co-star KJ Smith, highlighting the value of vulnerability and emotional openness in a relationship. His approach to masculinity stands in contrast to the traditional, stoic ideals. Skyh is not afraid to embrace softness as part of his emotional expression.
On Overcoming Self-Doubt & Worthiness Issues
Skyh reflected on the self-doubt and worthiness issues that he struggled with, especially early in his career. He opens up about his time in Los Angeles, living what he calls the “LA struggle story”—in a one-bedroom with three roommates—and being homeless three times over the span of 16 years. “I always had this self-sabotaging thought process,” Skyh said. “For me, I feel therapy is essential, period. I have a regular therapist and I go to a hypnotherapist.”
How Therapy Helped Him Heal From Self-Doubt
On Hypnotherapy & Empowering Self-Acceptance
Skyh’s journey is a testament to the power of tapping into self-development despite life’s struggles and being open to growth. “I had to submit to the fact that God was doing good in my life, and that I'm worthy of it. I had a worthiness issue and I did not realize that. So, that’s what the hypnotherapy did. It brought me back to the core. What is wrong so that I can fix it?”

Women Are (Still) Spelling 'Coconut' With Their Hips. And Guys Are Losing Their Damn Minds.
While prepping for a podcast interview a while back, because I received the questions beforehand, I did a bit of research into one of the inquiries: what are men’s current favorite sex positions? I doubt any of you are shocked by the fact that what continued to pop up (like here, here, and here) was doggy style and the cowgirl position (i.e., when a woman is on top).
When it comes to ridin’, specifically, that got me to thinking about something that was all over the internet a few years ago: women who were advising that you spell “coconut” with your hips, during sex, in order for you and your partner to receive maximum pleasure and satisfaction.
When I asked a few women I know if they ever tried that before, I was surprised to discover that not only had they, but many didn’t treat it as some random social media fad — they actually still do it to this day. Partly, because it’s fun to them and partly because their partner(s) seem to go crazy for it.
Listen, any time something sexual works like a charm, I’m going to shout it out — (late) trend or not. And so, if you’ve never heard of the whole coconut thing, you tried it and forgot all about it, or you just want to try something new/different/else tonight — here’s a reminder, in article form, that coconut-ting is still alive and well, y’all. And the men are all about it!
But First, The Grapefruit Technique
Video Credit: Myem/YouTube (Funny part starts at 2:40)
If this woman is not familiar to you on sight, you ain’t a real one. LOL. Although I know that a lot of people think that the concept of grapefruiting came from the movie Girls Trip (you can see the clip from the film here) that absolutely is not the case. Auntie Angel (whose real name is reportedly Denise Walker) is the creator of the Grapefruit Technique and although I thought that this video came out way earlier, apparently it made its way onto the YouTube streets sometime back in 2014.
If for some reason, you’re not familiar with grapefruiting on any level, I will tell you right now that I had to download this video because it is absolutely NSFW — so you should probably watch it on your lunch break (on your phone with the volume as low as possible) or at home…because chile, the sound effects? Whew, the sound effects. LOL. However, when I sat down to pen this piece, I thought it was hilarious that this video is what immediately came to mind because it seems like, when it comes to “blow his mind sex hacks,” fruit is constantly on the menu.
When it comes to oral sex, it’s grapefruit.
When it comes to ride ‘em cowgirl, it’s a coconut.
What Is the “Coconut” Sex Trend?
@windy_moraba #duet with @mysteri0us.gir1 spell coconut with your waist 😂😂😂
Okay, so what in the world does a coconut have to do with intercourse? Well, for starters, if you and your partner are looking for an all-natural lubricant, coconut oil works well. HOWEVER, do keep in mind that the disclaimer on this is you shouldn’t use it if condoms are in the mix because they can actually cause rubbers to be less effective (silicone lube is a solid bet for condoms, by the way).
There is another way that coconuts are kinda-sorta incorporated when it comes to making sex more pleasurable — and it actually became pretty popular right after COVID lockdown (2021): spelling C-O-C-O-N-U-T with your hips while you’re on top of your partner.
It’s wild how I forgot all about this until a client of mine was telling me how much her husband liked her on top while it wasn’t her favorite thing to do because it felt awkward to her. When I said, “Have you ever heard of spelling ‘coconut’ with your hips before?” — at first, she looked at me like I was crazy and then she busted out laughing: “Girl, no” was her reply.
Hmph. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it because, as wild as it might sound on the surface, the word isn’t the point so much as the movements that come with spelling it out are.
When you’re moving your pelvis around to make a “c,” “o” or U-turn, not only does it intensify the level of sensation that both you and your partner feel during intercourse, it can also increase the level of blood circulation to both of your genitalia which can make your orgasms more satisfying too.
At the end of the day, spelling “coconut” is simply reminding you that there are more options to riding than simply sitting there while your partner pumps for all he’s worth or you humping up and down like you’re on a pogo stick.
Spelling “coconut” is an easy hack to bring some variety into cowgirling. However…
Honestly, the “Fruit” Isn’t the Point. THIS IS.
From grapefruiting and spelling “coconut” to reading articles that I’ve penned for the platform like “How To Improve The Taste Of Sperm” — fruit and sex are always going to be a winning combination, one way or another. However, the main point of this article isn’t about making sure that you are a master speller so much as providing you with tips that will make the cowgirl position something that you are confident about and you find a ton of fulfillment in doing.
You can make both of these things happen by incorporating the following things:
Stretch beforehand. A charley horse during sex is the worst thing ever — and chile, don’t let it be right before you’re about to climax. SMDH. Yeah, if you want to feel more comfortable when you’re on top, make sure that you stretch beforehand and that you are well-hydrated. That will reduce the chances of experiencing a totally-out-of-nowhere muscle spasm — whether you decide to “spell” during sex or…not.
Bring pillows into the mix. Sometimes riding is a challenge because your partner feels farther away from your body than you would like. Putting a pillow underneath him can help to elevate his pelvis, so that you don’t feel like you’re stretching and straining. Speaking of pillows, a longer one can really come in handy because it can give your knees some additional support as well.
Also, ask him to put his knees up. Speaking of making the “grind” easier for you, ask your partner to put his knees up. That way, your back can recline on his legs as you’re moving your hips around. You’d be amazed how much this one hack can do for you. Straight up.
Add lube. When you get a chance, check out “The Wetter, The Better: 10 Creative Ways To Use Lubricant” and you will automatically see why bringing lubrication into a cowgirl session is an absolute must. It reduces friction. It makes your movements glide with ease. And it’s just more fun. Promise you that.
Lean in. If your partner happens to be on the larger side of life, one way that you can control his depth is by leaning forward into him. That way, your hips can better control how much or little he is inside of you, so that you can get into a position that gives you the sensation that you are looking for.
Get him to multitask. Again, whether you are spelling “coconut” or not and whether you are riding cowgirl or reverse cowgirl — something that is awesome about being on top is it frees your partner’s hands to do, umm, other things. And since it is so much easier to have an orgasm while your clitoris is being stimulated, get your partner to put some of the lube that we discussed earlier on his fingertips, so that he can gently rub on your clitoris while you are riding him. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Don’t wanna spell? Hula Hoop then. What if you try the whole coconut thing and it’s not a favorite for you (or him)? No problem — when’s the last time that you hula hooped? Pretend that you have one of those around your hips and move around that way. I’d be shocked if you ended up feeling “meh” about that option.
5 Guys Tell Me What They Love When Their Partner Is on Top
A part of the reason why I am “team cowgirl” is because it provides a lot of benefits to the woman: she has more control, it tends to be more comfortable for her, it’s a great position for a quickie and the orgasms tend to be that much more — wonderful. However, as I was thinking about spelling coconut, in general, I couldn’t help but wonder what guys thought about it and the cowgirl position overall.
If you’re curious, here’s what five of ‘em said.
1. Braxford. Engaged. 35. “Y’all be spelling up there? Who knew? My favorite thing about when my fiancée is on top is what I think every man likes: the view. It’s a chance to see her entire body and experience it at the same time. Not even doggy style accomplishes that. Damn, where’s my lady at?”
2. Denez. Single. 42. “Do you know how many ‘spots’ you have access to when y’all are on top? Breasts are in my mouth. Hickeys are on her neck. Prop my head up on a pillow and her tummy is getting licked. When a woman is riding you, it’s sensory overload! It’s crazy how each one looks amazing in that position too.”
3. Omar. In a Serious Relationship. 29. “[He said her name yet I’m not going to share it] isn’t a very vocal lover. Her body and technique are insane, so even though I love dirty talk, I’ve learned to compromise — except when she’s on top. She’s not saying much but those moans? And yeah, we tried the coconut thing. ‘Cs’ and ‘Os,’ hell yeah. ‘Ns’ and “Ts’? Nah.”
4. Nolen. Single. 45. “45 isn’t old but it’s old enough for your back to show out on you when you least expect it. My experience has been that women don’t want a lot of thrusting when they are on top, so it’s like having some of the best sex without having to do much at all. Well, aside from trying not to bust too quickly. I take that back: riding is easy on the body; it’s work on the brain.”
5. Ivan. Married. 37. “I like the spelling sh-t because it switches things up. We make a game out of it by her picking a word and spelling out while I try and guess what it is. We also try to see how many words that we can get to before one of us cums. 12 words is pushing it unless it’s like ‘dog’ or ‘cat’ or something. I’ve guessed ‘coconut’ a few times and I get what the excitement is all about. Spelling bee sex: try it.”
Yep. I concur.
