Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the beans on my little experiment with figuring out the compatibility percentage between Sagittarius and Pisces. Sounds like some woo-woo stuff, right? Well, stick around, it gets kinda interesting.
It all started when my cousin, who’s super into astrology, was going on and on about how her new boyfriend (a Pisces) was totally her soulmate. She’s a Sag, so naturally, I was like, “Hold up, aren’t those signs supposed to be, like, oil and water?”. That’s when the seed of this project was planted. I just had to see if I could quantify this compatibility thing.
First things first, I hit up the internet. I figured there had to be some kind of existing “Sagittarius and Pisces compatibility calculator” out there. And yeah, there were a bunch! But honestly, they all seemed pretty vague and generic. They’d ask a few basic questions and then spit out some random percentage with zero explanation. That wasn’t gonna cut it for me. I wanted to dig deeper.
So, I decided to make my own. I started by listing out all the common traits associated with each sign. For Sagittarius, I focused on things like:
- Love of freedom and adventure
- Honesty (sometimes brutal honesty!)
- Optimism and enthusiasm
- Independent spirit
And for Pisces, I looked at:
- Sensitivity and empathy
- Creativity and imagination
- Dreaminess and intuition
- Adaptability
Next, the tricky part: assigning values. I decided to create a scoring system based on how well each trait meshed (or clashed) with the other sign. For example, Sag’s love of freedom might clash with Pisces’ need for emotional security, so that would get a lower score. But Pisces’ adaptability could balance out Sag’s bluntness, leading to a higher score.
I literally spent hours tweaking these values, trying to make them as objective as possible. I even asked a few friends for their opinions (both Sags and Pisces, of course!). It was messy, and totally unscientific, but hey, it was my project.
Then, I created a simple spreadsheet. I listed each Sag trait down one column and each Pisces trait across the top. In each cell, I entered the compatibility score I had assigned. This gave me a grid of potential interactions between the two signs.
To get the final “compatibility percentage,” I averaged all the scores in the grid. Sounds complicated? It kinda was.
After all that work, what was the verdict? My super-scientific (not really) method spat out a compatibility percentage of around 60%. Not terrible, but not exactly soulmate material either. It suggested that while Sags and Pisces could definitely have some connection, they’d also face some pretty significant challenges due to their differing needs and personalities.
Now, I know this is all just a bit of fun. I’m not saying my method is the be-all and end-all of astrological compatibility. But it was a cool exercise in thinking critically about how different personality traits interact, and a reminder that even seemingly opposite people can find common ground. And as for my cousin? She’s still convinced her Pisces boyfriend is “the one.” And you know what? More power to her! Compatibility percentages are just numbers, anyway. What really matters is the connection you feel with someone.
