Curious About Aries & Sagittarius Compatibility? Here's How They Fare In Love, Friendship & More

Your zodiac sign can reveal so much about your personality, strengths and weaknesses, and even who you're most compatible with. When it comes to Aries and Sagittarius, these two fire signs will find they instantly click—but can they maintain the spark?

Aries is the first sign of the astrological year and is associated with the first house of self-image and identity. It's a fire sign ruled by Mars, the planet of action and motivation. Aries is also a cardinal sign, and its polarity is yang (masculine).

Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the astrological year and is associated with the ninth house of growth, expansive thinking, and global travel. Like Aries, Sagittarius is a fire sign, but they are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance. Sagittarius is a mutable sign, and its polarity is yang (masculine).

If you've ever wondered why certain signs click versus clash, it all has to do with the angles or "aspects" they form on the zodiac wheel. And fortunately for Aries and Sagittarius, they form a "trine" aspect, which is considered one of the more favorable angles in astrology.

As the AstroTwins previously wrote for mindbodygreen, signs of the same element form a trine, which creates an unspoken kinship and harmony. With Aries and Sag both being fire signs, they'll feel like they don't have to explain themselves to each other when they're together, for instance, with a natural understanding between them.

"You've never felt so comfortable, so understood on a core level. This is the person you can burp and fart around or pee with the door open when they're home," the twins add.

Of course, just because they're the same element doesn't mean they won't have some differences. Aries, for instance, tends to be more dominant and aggressive than free-flowing Sag, which can cause some conflict. Sagittarius is also known to be a bit averse to commitment, which can make a relationship with them rather tricky.

In general, Aries and Sag tend to be a good match, but before we dive deeper into how they fare in love and friendship, it's important to note that you need both people's full birth charts (aka a synastry reading) to get the whole picture of their compatibility.

When an Aries and Sag meet, they'll feel an instant connection thanks to their shared fire element. These two both each enough energy and enthusiasm to keep them constantly on the go, which is no problem for either of them.

Aries makes the plans, and Sagittarius, being adaptable and quick on their feet, is happy to jump in. They might enjoy active hangouts like going for hikes or hitting up a workout class together, but they're also fairly social signs, relative to some of the more homebody signs.

As such, you could also easily find them dancing out at their favorite nightclub or making grand travel plans together. Whatever the case may be, you can guarantee these two signs know how to have fun together.

One thing to watch out for, according to astrology expert Evan Nathaniel Grim, is Aries' tendency to take the lead. Whether in friendship or romance, he says, it's important for Aries to let someone else call the shots once in a while. And considering Sag does not like to be bossed around, that's definitely something to keep in mind.

Just like an Aries and Sagittarius friendship, a romance between these two signs is just as warm and full of connection.

When an Aries is interested in someone, they tend to dive in headfirst, and their passion is intense enough to woo even the most aloof Sagittarius. Because yes, while Sag can shy away from commitment, they'll find there's just something about Aries' bold energy that's undeniably enticing.

As Grim explains, life is one big adventure for Sagittarius, so they want to be with someone, and that someone needs to keep up. Rather than fighting this part of themselves, Sag's best bet is to find someone who doesn't pin them down—and Aries is just the person for the task.

They're able to match each other's energy in a way that feels so natural, so easy, and so good that it doesn't make sense to stay away. And if you're curious about how this all translates to the bedroom, let's just say there's enough spark between these two fire signs to keep the candle burning all night long.

Of course, while these two will click easily, that doesn't mean their relationship will be perfect. As aforementioned, Aries can have a bad habit of being bossy, so Grim suggests they learn to "be patient and give their partner time to suggest an activity or make the first move."

There are so many positives to an Aries-Sag matchup. In fact, according to astrology expert and author of Astrology SOS Imani Quinn, Aries and Sag can even be considered astrological soulmates.

Not only do they have their shared fire element, but when the intense passion from Mars meets up with the expansive nature of Jupiter, serious forward momentum picks up. Together, Quinn explains, these two push each other to take action and grow together at the same time.

And as we mentioned previously, Aries and Sag have very similar temperaments and energy levels, so they won't hold each other back or tie each other down. They're able to keep up with each other thanks to their zest for life and enthusiasm, which is perfect for Aries' bold personality and Sag's adventurous spirit.

Again, no relationship is perfect, and even an Aries and Sag couple will run up against issues here and there. We previously mentioned that Aries can be a bit dominating in relationships, not to mention Sag's commitment phobia.

They'll need to learn to overcome (or at least adapt to) these differences, but they definitely don't have to be dealbreakers. Aries and Sag will likely find it fairly easy to work through these issues if both people are mature and willing to hear each other out.
