Sagittarius Compatibility: How Sagg the Zebra Gets On With Every Star Sign

We asked Sagg the Zebra, the Sagittarius Astrominal (22 November – 21 December), how Sagg gets on with the other signs. It arrived as twelve postcards from nine different countries. One just said “Wish you were here!” with no sign on it at all.

Pick a sign above to jump straight to it.

Aries

Sagg + Arri

My favourite adventure buddy. Arri doesn’t check anything, I don’t plan anything, and we always end up halfway up a volcano with one sandwich. Best day ever, every time.

Verdict: maximum fun, minimum sandwiches.

Arri the Rhino, the Aries Astrominal

Taurus

Sagg + Taur

I asked Taur to come white-water rafting. He said, “No.” I asked him to come camping. He said, “No.” Now I just send him photos, and he loves them from his sofa.

Verdict: the best pen pal in the zodiac.

Taur the Bull, the Taurus Astrominal

Gemini

Sagg + Gem & Eye

My opposite sign, and two of the best travel buddies anyone could have. They ask all the questions, I go and find out. We once forgot our passports at the same airport twice.

Verdict: the most fun road trip ever. Also the longest.

Gem & Eye, the Gemini Astrominal

Cancer

Sagg + Canny

Canny always has a hot chocolate waiting when I get back. I always have a story. It’s the best swap in the world.

Verdict: Canny’s my home base.

Canny the Crab, the Cancer Astrominal

Leo

Sagg + Leo

Fellow fire sign. I go on adventures, Leo comes along to be in the photos. To be fair, he’s very good in photos.

Verdict: great trips, great pictures, slightly too many of Leo.

Leo the Lion, the Leo Astrominal

Virgo

Sagg + Virgo

Virgo packed me a bag with everything I could possibly need, plus a list taped to the front. I lost the list. Everything in the bag still saved me.

Verdict: Virgo makes my adventures possible. I send the best postcards.

Virgo the Shy Sheep, the Virgo Astrominal

Libra

Sagg + Libby

Libby couldn’t choose between the jungle and the beach, so we did both. She loved them both exactly the same. I loved watching her try to pick a favourite.

Verdict: I’m Libby’s decision-maker. By not making decisions.

Libby the Flamingo, the Libra Astrominal

Scorpio

Sagg + Score

Score keeps secrets. I can’t keep a secret for longer than a sneeze. Somehow, Score trusts me anyway. I think it’s because I’m so honest it’s not even worth checking.

Verdict: I make Score laugh. Score says I don’t. Score’s laughing.

Score, the Scorpio Astrominal

Sagittarius

Sagg + Sagg

Two zebras, two backpacks, zero plans. We set off together and lost each other by lunchtime. Met up again in Peru a year later. Fantastic reunion.

Verdict: best friends, separate continents.

Sagg the Zebra, the Sagittarius Astrominal

Capricorn

Sagg + Cap

Cap wants to get to the top of the mountain. I want to go up a different mountain every day. We have now climbed seven mountains together, because Cap gets competitive.

Verdict: the hardest-working holiday you’ll ever have.

Cap the Goat, the Capricorn Astrominal

Aquarius

Sagg + Aqua

Aqua invents things, I test them in the wild. The self-steering backpack worked brilliantly until it steered itself to Norway without me.

Verdict: an inventor and an explorer. The world isn’t ready.

Aqua the Pelican, the Aquarius Astrominal

Pisces

Sagg + Pike

Pike dreams of faraway places. I go to them and tell Pike all about it. Then Pike writes a poem that makes the place sound better than it was.

Verdict: dreamer meets doer, and both win.

Pike the Fish, the Pisces Astrominal

Sagg’s sign-off: If you know a Sagittarius, here’s the secret. Don’t fence us in, and we’ll always come back with the best stories. (And probably a souvenir. Probably a weird one.)
