Two benefic planets, one good mood
Venus and Jupiter are traditionally called the benefics, the planets of pleasure and growth. Libra and Sagittarius often share generosity, social ease and a dislike of pettiness. Conversation tends to start easily and wander happily.
As a sextile, the angle is cooperative rather than demanding. Neither has to change much to enjoy the other.
Love and romance
This is a romance of shared outings, laughter and intellectual curiosity. Libra gives Sagittarius attention and tact; Sagittarius gives Libra excitement and room to breathe. Neither is likely to be possessive.
The risk is that nobody commits to the practical side. If both are keen to keep things easy, difficult topics such as plans for the future can be postponed. Raise them over a pleasant dinner rather than in a crisis.
Friendship
A natural friendship, full of invitations and spontaneous ideas. Sagittarius pulls Libra into new experiences; Libra makes sure everyone in the group feels included.
Sagittarius can be blunt, and Libra will rarely say it hurt. Libra should say so once, kindly, so that it does not become a resentment.
Working together
Together they can thrive in education, publishing, travel, law, culture and anywhere networking matters. Libra mediates and polishes; Sagittarius brings vision and drive.
Weak spots are logistics and follow-through. Name someone to track tasks and money, and set dates for each step.
Where friction comes from
Libra's hesitation and Sagittarius's restlessness can combine into drifting. Libra may feel unheard when Sagittarius races ahead, and Sagittarius may feel held back by Libra's weighing of options.

Tips for making it work
Libra: state a preference and let it stand. Sagittarius: soften the honesty with warmth. Put some adventures on the calendar so they actually happen.
Keep sharing what you read, hear and learn. Curiosity is the glue of this pairing.
