Aries and Sagittarius recognise each other by pace. Neither asks why you would leave town on a Wednesday evening, and neither calls it frivolous.
A hundred and twenty degrees separate them, a trine, and both signs are fire. There is no common language to build here: it is there from the first conversation. The bill comes later and looks dull — there is nobody in this pair to mention the invoices or the second project still unfinished.
The angle between Aries and Sagittarius
Aries and Sagittarius stand 120° apart on the zodiac wheel, and astrology calls that distance the Trine. The angle never changes: it is the same for every pair of these two signs, whatever else the two charts hold.
Both signs belong to one element: Fire. The pair reacts to what happens the same way before a word is said about it.
Cardinal and Mutable are two different speeds: one sets the pace, the other decides how long it lasts.
The pair has two rulers, Mars and Jupiter, and each side reads the relationship through its own.
Neither has to be explained to the other
Aries does not have to justify being blunt, Sagittarius does not have to justify wanting to leave.
They make up faster than they manage to fall out. An apology is rarely spoken: Aries suggests going somewhere, Sagittarius agrees, and that is enough for both.
Aries hurries, Sagittarius thinks big
Aries is ready to start before the idea is finished. Sagittarius thinks in large units: not a trip but a route across half a continent, not a side job but a new business.
Together they carry more than either does alone. Aries launches what the other made too big, and Sagittarius finds the point in what the first was simply charging at.
At work this shows from day one: Sagittarius brings the idea, Aries sets the date, and the thing starts moving before either has time to be frightened by its size.
They rarely finish what they start
The start is the interesting part for both. Aries loses interest once the resistance is gone, Sagittarius once the ending is obvious.
Unfinished things pile up at home: tickets never booked, a course with one lesson attended, a business plan both of them still describe to friends in the present tense.
Where this pair rubs
The difficulty in this pair is not conflict but its absence. They agree easily, and an unpleasant conversation postpones itself — not out of tact, but because it is boring. Bills, obligations to relatives and the agreement about money stay unspoken until they turn into a problem with a deadline.
The second difficulty is the promise. Sagittarius says more than he intends to do and does not count it as deception. Aries hears it as settled and is angry about a failure the other never noticed.
Compare the real charts
A Sun sign is only the outline. A synastry chart puts two full birth charts side by side — Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses — and shows where the two of you actually meet.

Answers
Aries and Sagittarius: common questions
They get on easily: the shared pace and the same attitude to plain speech cost them nothing. The dull half of life takes the effort — deadlines, money and finishing things.
Because neither has to check the other. Both are used to a speed at which decisions are made on the spot, and what other couples would call haste looks like the normal course of things here.
Well at the launch and worse afterwards. Between them they put an idea together and find the first people quickly, and then both need a third person to keep the records.
Both spend easily and hardly argue about amounts. The problem is not the spending but that there is nobody to save: both are sure more will come in, and both are right until an expense turns up that cannot wait.
