Libra and Sagittarius form a sextile (60°), a friendly angle between air and fire, elements that feed each other naturally. Venus-ruled Libra loves people, beauty, and fairness; Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius loves ideas, travel, and honesty. Cardinal Libra initiates plans; mutable Sagittarius happily goes along and adds spontaneity. Together this pair often feels sociable, optimistic, and curious, the kind of duo that turns a dinner into a philosophical debate and then books a trip. The ease is real, though depth may need cultivating.
In love
Romance between Libra and Sagittarius tends to be warm, playful, and outward-looking. You enjoy going places together and talking about everything. If you're the Libra, Sagittarius' bluntness may sting sometimes, but it's honest. If you're the Sagittarius, Libra's need for reassurance and refinement is not neediness; it's how Venus loves. Keeping the relationship fresh usually comes easily; keeping it grounded in commitment and daily reliability may take more intention.
As friends
As friends, this pair is often the life of any gathering. Libra makes introductions; Sagittarius makes the jokes. You share a love of learning and a dislike of pettiness. Plans may change at the last minute, which Sagittarius enjoys and Libra tolerates. The friendship tends to survive distance well, since both of you value freedom.
At work and in partnership
Professionally, Libra and Sagittarius do well in anything involving people, ideas, or growth: sales, education, media, travel, law. Libra manages relationships and presentation; Sagittarius supplies vision and momentum. Both may prefer the exciting parts of a project over the tedious ones, so details and follow-through need a plan. Sagittarius' candor may occasionally need Libra's editing.
Where it rubs
Friction is usually about tone and follow-through. Sagittarius says things plainly that Libra would have phrased carefully, and Libra may feel embarrassed or hurt. Libra's indecision can frustrate Sagittarius, who prefers to move. Both signs can avoid heavy emotional work, so problems may get laughed off rather than solved. Sagittarius' restlessness may make Libra feel less prioritized than the next adventure.
Advice for both of you
If you're the Sagittarius, slow down enough to hear how something landed, not only whether it was true. If you're the Libra, decide faster and say what you want without waiting for consensus. Schedule time for the serious conversations you both like to postpone. Keep the adventures, but pair them with a shared commitment you both name.

Does this compatibility only look at the Sun sign?
Yes — this page compares Sun signs. Real compatibility is read from both birth charts in full (Moon, Venus, Mars, rising…); that reading is called synastry — two charts read together.
