Honestly, I got super curious about this whole Pisces-Sagittarius friendship thing because, well, I’m a Pisces and my new teammate at work is a hardcore Sagittarius. Total opposites, right? I figured it’d be a disaster or maybe magic. So, I decided to actually test it out over a few months and wrote everything down.
Why I Even Tried This
Okay, listen. People kept saying fire and water signs shouldn’t mix. Fish swimming away, Archer shooting arrows… chaos! But I like this guy – he’s funny and always up for an adventure. I figured instead of just guessing, why not try being friends on purpose and see what works? I kept a little journal of our hangouts.
What Went Down (The Messy Start)
- Tip 1 Test: Talk Straight (But Nicely): First coffee meet-up? Total flop. He made some plan about skydiving next month, and I mumbled “Yeah, maybe” while thinking “Never in a million years!” He totally caught my vibe and looked bummed. I had to try again. Next time, I said “Dude, that sounds wild for you! Me? Heights scare me silly. How about we try that new rock climbing gym instead? Lower to the ground!” He laughed and agreed. Boom. Honesty without killing his buzz.
- Tip 2 Test: Don’t Take Their Wanderlust Personally: This one hurt at first. He’d just vanish for weeks sometimes, traveling or buried in some new hobby. My Pisces heart felt ghosted. But I noticed he’d pop back up like nothing happened, full of crazy stories. So, instead of sulking, I started matching that energy. When he disappeared, I dove into my own stuff – painting, weird documentaries. When he surfaced, we swapped stories instead of me giving him the silent treatment.
- Tip 3 Test: Dive Into Their Adventures (Sometimes): His energy is contagious but exhausting. He wanted to hit every concert, festival, road trip. I can’t keep up! I started picking one thing a month that felt borderline doable for me. Like a day hike instead of a weekend camping trip. Or that weird immersive theater thing he found. I went, felt overwhelmed but also kind of amazed, then dipped out early. He was just happy I showed up at all.
- Tip 4 Test: Space is YOUR Friend Too: Man, his constant buzz can drain my fish battery dry. I started setting little boundaries. If he called last minute for drinks and I was already deep into a movie marathon? “Next time, Archer! Chilling tonight.” Didn’t apologize, just stated it. He’d just say “Cool, catch you later!” No fuss. Turns out he needs downtime too, just less than me.
- Tip 5 Test: Be Their Unexpected Anchor: Here’s the weird one. This super energetic, optimistic guy? He does crash sometimes. After a big project failed, he got quiet. Real quiet. I didn’t push him to talk. Just showed up with terrible takeout coffee and sat on his couch playing some chill video game. Didn’t ask a million questions. After a while, he started talking. Just… listened, without trying to cheer him up instantly. He thanked me later for not trying to “fix” it.
So, Does It Work?
Yeah, surprisingly! It’s not like my friendships with other Water signs. It’s louder, messier, requires more intention. You gotta use those tips – especially the straight talk and the space thing – or it falls apart fast. We don’t need constant contact. When we hang out, it’s usually fun and kinda wild. He pushes me out of my comfort zone, and I think… maybe I give him a calm harbor now and then. It’s different, but it works if you put the effort in. Would recommend trying, if you find a good Archer!
