♈︎♐︎ Aries and Sagittarius compatibility

How well do Aries and Sagittarius go together? By tradition: harmonious.

Both signs belong to the element fire, and you can feel it from the first day. You feel understood and have little to explain. To stay alive, the connection needs something new now and then.

What helps: Try something new now and then, so that the ease does not turn into habit.

What connects them

Two fire signs with a taste for setting off, travel and new experiences.

Where it rubs

Both need freedom, and if neither looks after the ordinary things, they get left undone.

Element and way

Two fire signs: both burn for something and show it. Together there is a lot of drive, a lot of courage and a lot of laughter. Tradition warns of only one thing: when both flare up at once, nobody is there to put the fire out.

Aries is a cardinal sign, Sagittarius a mutable one. The cardinal sign gives the push, the mutable one finds the ways. That often goes easily, because one leads and the other goes along. Tradition advises that the mutable sign, too, should say now and then where it wants to go.

The two in love

In love, Aries likes to win someone over, and fast. It needs passion and someone who gives as good as they get.

In love, Sagittarius is open and adventurous. It needs freedom and someone who sets off with it.

The planets of the two

The planet of Aries is Mars. Mars stands for drive and desire. It brings passion to a relationship, and sometimes quarrels too.

The planet of Sagittarius is Jupiter. Jupiter stands for breadth and trust. It brings generosity to a relationship and plans for the future.

The sky for the two, as of 19 October 2026

Venus is currently in Scorpio, until 24 October. For Aries, it touches the area of shared money and letting go. For Sagittarius, it touches the area of retreat and quiet. Venus has been retrograde since 3 October and stays so until 14 November. During this time, tradition advises clearing up old matters between two people rather than sealing new ones. On 7 January 2027, Venus enters Sagittarius. Mars is currently in Leo, until 25 November.

Computed from the real sky, new every day.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.
