While they can be intensely magnetic and draw people to them, Scorpios are loners at heart with a carefully cultivated circle of people they allow close to them. However, when you mix in social Sagittarius energy, Scorpio becomes friendlier, more outgoing, and more engaging.

Scorpio is a deep feeler with intense passions. Sagittarius is wildly enthusiastic about — well, everything, really. So on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp, the blending of Scorpio's deeply intense nature with Sagittarius's labrador retriever energy means that when you're passionate about something, you're REALLY passionate about it. 

Scorpio keeps a lot of secrets, but they also tell it like it is. And Sagittarius energy pushes that even further. Sagittarius energy is well-meaning, but brutal honesty often pops out of their mouth before they've given it a thought.

So when you blend this verbal impulsivity (some might call it brutal bluntness) with Scorpio's tell-it-like-it is nature, you have someone who can be brutally (and even hurtfully) honest. Diplomacy? Not your strong suit when you're on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp.

The Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp is called "The Cusp of Revolution." This is the cusp where Scorpio's willpower, resolve, strategic thinking, and tenacity meet up with Sagittarius's optimism, vision, courage, and idealism. Scorpio-Sagittarians are mysterious, complex, formidable, never-say-die individuals who have a lust for life and will stand up and fight for their beliefs — the perfect combo to bring about change. 

Scorpio-Sagittarians often live lives of tragedy and triumph. They want to change the world and are impassioned speakers who are intuitive, eagle-eyed, and farsighted, with unshakeable convictions. They are passionate individuals who call a spade a spade and want to learn and achieve more than anything. While not everyone may understand where they're coming from, Scorpio-Sagittarians are purposeful, inspired, and have a clear vision of their future.

Scorpio's emotional fixed water can be brought to a warm simmer, a rolling boil, or boiled over by Sagittarius's unpredictable mutable fire. However, if a Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp can balance these two very different energies, they'll combine emotional empathy with excitement, compassion with hopefulness, and depth with creativity and openness.

This combo gives a Scorpio-Sagittarian the ability to live in the moment, even when they're carrying a load of psychological baggage.

Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth, renewal, and transformation, gifts Scorpios with the ability to survive and thrive. Mars is the planet of will, action, and valor and endows them with drive. Jupiter, the great benefic, blesses them with optimism and hope. The Moon reveals their need for belonging.

These three planets' influence gives a Scorpio-Sagittarius the ability to face tragedy while staying calm, focused, and optimistic, even in the most challenging situations. They're wise leaders who have an innate appetite to nurture and care for the world's weak and downtrodden.

Scorpio-Sagittarius individuals need a partner who is as revolutionary, passionate, intelligent, and fearless as they are themselves. They are loyal and committed to their partner and family, but the commitment must be balanced with freedom.

Probably the best match for a Scorpio-Sagittarius is someone born on the Gemini-Cancer cusp. These individuals are charming, intelligent, emotionally available, have bubbly personalities, and are also committed to home and family. All in all, these two have many relationship needs in common.
