The three things driving this pairing
Element — air and fire
Air and fire feed each other. The Aquarius moon processes feeling by putting language around it; the Sagittarius moon processes feeling as impulse and heat. Different, but not at odds — each gives the other something it does not generate on its own.
Modality — fixed and mutable
One of you holds the position; the other moves around it. This is the most durable combination on the wheel, provided the fixed one notices how much of the adjusting is not being done by them.
Aspect — sextile, 60°
This one works when you reach for it. It is supportive rather than magnetic, so it tends to build slowly and rarely announces itself.
The heart of it
The freest pairing on the wheel — a sextile between the moon that needs orbit and the moon that needs horizon, and for once nobody is guarding the exits because nobody has ever blocked one. Jealousy is structurally absent here. So is the entire genre of argument about space, time apart, and what the independence means. It means nothing. It is just how both of you breathe.
What this pairing has to construct deliberately is a centre. Sagittarius ranges, Aquarius orbits, and with no fixed hearth-keeper anywhere in the system, the relationship can become a marvellous federation of two sovereign lives that intersect — warmly, brilliantly — less and less often. Neither of you will ever feel trapped. The subtler risk is that neither of you ever quite feels located: two people who gave each other so much room that eventually the room is most of what there is.
What works, and what breaks
What works
Perfect mutual liberty plus genuinely great company — Sagittarius's fire warms Aquarius's air, Aquarius's ideas give Sagittarius's philosophy an interlocutor. The friendship inside this is real and permanent.
What breaks
No gravity. Both of you honour freedom so completely that nobody tends the middle — and a bond made entirely of respected distances eventually is one.

Are Sagittarius moon and Aquarius moon compatible?
Very — a sextile with matched independence, matched honesty, and no jealousy on either side. Its one task is deliberate togetherness, since neither supplies it by instinct.
Do Sagittarius moon and Aquarius moon get jealous?
Essentially never — this is the least possessive pairing available. Both regard autonomy as the ground rule of love rather than a concession to it.
What do Sagittarius moon and Aquarius moon argue about?
Ideas, enjoyably, and almost nothing else — Sagittarius argues from conviction, Aquarius from principle, and both walk away pleased. Practical friction is rare because neither polices the other.
What keeps Sagittarius moon and Aquarius moon together?
Chosen rituals of return — standing dates, shared projects, a rhythm of reconvening. The bond will not maintain itself by gravity; it has to be, in both moons' favourite word, voluntary.
