While every household will play by different rules, understanding each zodiac sign’s innate domestic style can help you sort it out.

What it like living with a Sagittarius?

To the free-spirited Sagittarius family member, family demands can clash with their need for space.

Family? What family? The Sagittarius family member is a free agent, embarking on the next voyage before their suitcase is unpacked from the last one. Their squad is often left on the sidelines, waiting for their schedule to clear up…someday. The key for thrill-seeking Sagittarius is to build family time into their active lifestyle. They’re rarely the type to stick around their hometown after graduation. Since they’re a late bloomer, returning to their roots can feel like a bizarre time warp.

One solution is to combine family gatherings with their love of travel. Why not meet relatives at an all-inclusive resort for an annual vacation? That way, there’s enough entertainment to keep spirits buoyed—and ample personal space. Best of all, they can escape when that relative spouts backwards political views after one too many mojitos.

Going into business with relatives is another way to stay connected, since the Sagittarius family member’s first loyalty is often to their enterprising ideas. They’re also happiest moving around, so meet them for a power walk or a nature hike, where they can catch up while also burning off stress.

Astrology tip for living with a Sagittarius

Temper, temper

Few signs are as claustrophobic as Sag. They get restless behind closed doors—especially when people’s energy distracts them. They want to be left alone to read, have long text convos, cook or explore their latest interest. Family members demanding their time and attention can irritate them to the point of explosion. They do best to carve out some “do not disturb” time or areas of the house.

Their challenge is to not overreact or fly off the handle when everything isn’t just how they want it. This is a family, not a fascist dictatorship with them at helm.
