Romantic Compatibility

Aries & Sagittarius

When Aries and Sagittarius come together in a love affair, it can be a match made in heaven! These partners have much in common -- similar energies and interests -- and are highly compatible. Both are explorers and pioneers. This relationship is torrid and exciting and both partners are always ready for a new adventure. They both crave life experience of their own and don't like to waste time just reading about it or listening to others tell about theirs. They do need to be careful, however: This could be an accident-prone relationship as Aries is always in a rush and Sagittarius tends to look at everything but the obvious. Also, as much as these two have in common, it may be difficult to maintain a long-term relationship when both parties have so much energy to start new things -- but not much interest in following through.

Aries and Sagittarius make great friends as well as lovers. They truly understand one another's optimistic view of life. Problems are rare, but Sagittarius has an even greater need for independence than does Aries, who can sometimes be overly possessive. Aries is also a bit more sensitive than the fun and flirty Archer; Sagittarius can tend to put their foot in their mouth, so to speak, by speaking without thinking. The good thing is, both Signs are able to forgive and forget fast. They don't have time to spend holding a grudge!

Aries is ruled by Mars (Passion) and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (Philosophy and Luck). Both of these Planets are masculine, so these Signs tend to look at the world in the same way. Sagittarius likes to take a risk under Jupiter's indulgent influence. Mars is all about initiative, taking (sometimes aggressive) action. When Aries comes up with a new, exciting idea for a date, trip or other adventure, Sagittarius is always ready and willing to go along for the ride.

Both Aries and Sagittarius are Fire Signs. This combination can produce an eternal flame. Both Signs are always on the go. They have endless resources of energy; it's rare for one partner to fizzle out on the other.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign. Aries initiates new ideas and Sagittarius will go right along with it -- as long as they're allowed to come along. There's never any power struggle between these two related to ""who's on top."" Aries likes to have all the glory and Sagittarius is happy to control events from behind the scenes. Both Signs are better at starting things than ending them, which can be trouble if one or both Sign feels that the relationship is becoming stale; thank goodness that's so unlikely! Aries does get bored easily, but Sagittarius always keeps life fast-paced and fun.

What's the best aspect of an Aries-Sagittarius relationship? Their mutual tendency to be the pioneers and explorers of the Zodiac. They are well matched in their enthusiasm, energy and drive. Their common interests and similar personalities make them a very compatible couple.
