Aries and Sagittarius: Your compatibility clicks and clashes

Where you click:
Kindred spirits to the core, Aries and Sagittarius are a match made in fire sign heaven. You both cherish your independence and get nauseous at the idea of “settling down” or “growing old together.” Fortunately, you’ve found someone who’d rather retire on a rocket ship than in a rocking chair. As you elevate each other to new creative heights you may accidentally find yourselves in a relationship…which works better for low-maintenance Sagittarius than it does for fanfare-loving Aries.

Where you clash:
Once you’ve sealed the deal, it’s easy to let romance fade into the background. Who needs it when you’re having so much fun roaming the world together? You do. Make time to hold hands and gaze in each others’ eyes every now and again. Surprise each other with presents, flowers, massages, and spontaneous getaways. Otherwise, the sizzle that brought you together could fizzle into a platonic friendship. Children may not be part of the grand plan for you two free spirits, but you’ll need to co-create something to make the most out of your combined talents, like a business venture, charity, or insanely elaborate work of art.

Love and compatibility by element

Aries and Sagittarius are both fire signs

The heat is on! Your Sun signs are both in the element of fire. This exothermic combination can move from zero to soulmate in mere seconds, as you recognize a kindred spirit in this compatible astrology love match. But as quickly as your lusty wildfire blazes up, it can also sweep out of control…or go from sizzle to fizzle. Your tempers can be as scorching as your sex, so while you might set off an inferno in the sheets, your arguments can also be legendary.

While you might set off an inferno in the sheets, your arguments can also be legendary. [/gdlr_quote

Remember: Civilization began when man learned to make, tend and control fire. It cooks our meals, keeps us warm, powers everything. But by nature, fire does not WANT to be controlled, and neither do fire signs. This relationship must leave room for individuality, exploration and autonomy within safe boundaries. Making and keeping a commitment has to be handled delicately, so as not to lose the spark or smother the flame.

There are four elements in astrology: fire, earth, air and water. Each one plays an important role in the greater whole of humankind. A love match with someone from the same astrological element offers the comfort of familiarity. At last, you don’t have to explain yourself all the time! You both operate at similar speeds to a certain degree. As lovely as that is, it can also be “too much of a good thing,” causing your relationship to feel like a single track on continuous replay. After all, differences can be challenging in a good way because they push you both to grow.

As a same-element couple, you may need to make a conscious effort to not get stuck in a rut or even a competitive dynamic. Spending time with friends, coworkers or relatives of another element can introduce a more balancing energy. For example, a grounded earth sign can help two hotheaded fire signs look before leaping. An objective air sign reminds you to step back from your heated emotions and knee-jerk reactions. And a sensitive water sign can help you tune into your nostalgic side instead of glossing over your feelings.

divider-graylove and compatibility by quality or triplicity
Aries is cardinal and Sagittarius is mutable

In astrology, the “qualities” or “triplicities” reveal the role you play in a relationship or collaboration. Are you a starter, a doer or a finisher? Do you like to take charge and have a plan, or do you prefer to go with the flow?

Cardinal signs are initiators—they like to lead and direct and manage. Much of the time, this suits the flowy and flexible mutable sign, who may find it hard to make a decision and appreciates the extra help! But when the cardinal sign gets TOO rigid or elitist, that’s where the mutable sign will chafe. The mutable sign needs to flow freely, and won’t abide by the cardinal sign’s dress codes, critical comments or Miss Manners routine. Cardinal signs have discerning tastes and an air of entitlement, which helps them gravitate toward the finer things and first-class experiences. But they can seem a bit snobbish or status-seeking for the mutable sign, who befriends everyone from the postman to the president of the company. The cardinal sign will have to be more down-to-earth and less judgmental at times—and stop trying to make over the mutable mate! And the mutable sign should check with the cardinal sign before RSVPing to random events or inviting strangers over for dinner. Giving gifts can be tricky in this love match—cardinals know exactly what they like and can be very hard to please. The mutable mate should get a wish list long in advance of birthdays or holidays.

divider-graylove and compatibility by polarity

Aries and Sagittarius are both yang, or masculine, signs

In astrology, every sign has a “polarity”: you’re either yin (feminine) or yang (masculine). Aries and Sagittarius are both yang signs, so they are both aggressive, action-oriented and driven. In this astrology love match, you can motivate each other…or you can find yourself in a power struggle. Two yang signs must be careful not to bulldoze or tread on each others’ turf. Sharing the power and taking turns having the upper hand will be the key to your happiness.

divider-graylove and compatibility: your aspects
Aries and Sagittarius are trine (four signs apart)

In astrology love matches, we also measure compatibility by the aspect, or distance, between the two signs. Your signs are trine, or four signs apart. In this love match, it can feel like “home sweet home” The trine sign mate has the same element as yours (fire, earth, air or water), creating an unspoken kinship and harmony. At last—you don’t have to constantly explain yourself. You’ve never felt so comfortable, so understood on a core level. This is the person you can burp and pass gas around, or use the bathroom with the door open when they’re home. But don’t invest in a wardrobe full of elastic waistbands just yet. In trine relationships, you’ll need to preserve some mystery to keep things exciting. Make sure you stay active and on the go, and don’t do everything together. A little autonomy goes a long way to keep the passion alive.
