Sagittarius and Aries are an almost perfect couple together. They are both fire signs and love adventure. More than this though there is an added balance between them which makes these two signs especially compatible. Aries is a natural, impulsive leader and life with an Aries is always going to be exciting but, often issues of control and dominance within the relationship can become a problem. The dominating force of Aries would grate on most zodiac signs, but not Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign, which means that they are very adaptable. They love to wander, to travel and do not yearn to dominate or take the lead.
If Aries, the warrior sign, becomes too self obsessed or overly domineering then it is likely that optimistic Sagittarius will simply laugh in their face; bringing Aries down a peg. Sagittarius is a sign that is full of humour so Aries must be careful not to take themselves too seriously; but it is not wise to hurt Aries’ pride.
A more serious problem facing the two signs in a relationship is the lack of any conservative force to hold them back. Aries as the leader is likely to be reckless and, spurred on by Sagittarius who loves adventure more than any other, there is a risk of the couple burning out. They could run out of money, they could simply fall flat and realise that their relationship has little depth to it. It is important that Aries tries to slow down at times and truly appreciate their partner who is, deep down, so perfect for them.
For Sagittarius the impulsiveness is less of a problem. Sagittarius is the ruler of the 9th House – the house of higher mind. As such they have a natural tendency for philosophy or theology and deeper thought. Still, for Sagittarius there is always a tendency to look at the funny side of serious everything and this relationship will suffer if they do not take it seriously with the respect that it deserves.
These things, really, are not too much trouble as long as both partners are aware of the causes of friction (where astrology can be very useful) and understand the balance within their relationship. Astrology, of course, can be a big help there. Both signs have courage, a thirst for life and excitement, and can expect many happily matched years together.
For the similarities that these star signs share, there is a world of difference between them. They are both cardinal signs, meaning leadership, independence, and a certain tendency towards impatience; but the way these trait are exhibited couldn’t be more opposite.
Aries, the warrior sign, acts impulsively and recklessly. Their independence, confidence and often sheer bravado are contrasted by the rigid thoughtfulness of Capricorn, who will always weigh options up and act according to how reason dictates.
With two cardinal signs there is always an issue of control in a relationship and, usually, no sign can ever win outright. As with Aries and Cancer there must be compromise. If Capricorn enforces a rigid structure onto the relationship, for example, Aries will grow more frustrated, more confrontational and unhappy. In the end it will mean Capricorn must back down to Aries’ frustrations or the relationship will never work. There must be sacrifices and finding a balance between their vastly contrasting world views is the main struggle that these two signs must face if they are to be happy together.
The differences between these signs are likely to be the very things that draw them together. Aries is always a sign that is drawn to the mystery and fascination of signs with the patience and persistence that they notoriously lack. For them the wisdom and composure within Capricorn, as well as an almost steel-like inner strength and tendency towards discipline, is something that Aries admires; though it would be easier for Aries to choose an air or fire sign such as Sagittarius.
Conversely for Capricorn the confidence of Aries to act without weighing every little detail up in their mind first is very appealing. There are elements in both signs that the other almost craves to have a little bit of in their own personality. By spending time together in a relationship and growing closer both star signs can learn a lot about themselves and hope to balance out some more flawed aspects in their personality.
This is a love match where there is more than passion and convenience. These two star signs have a genuine compatibility with one and other. They are two people that enjoy each other’s company and have a real connection. Both are solid, practical characters and both are careful with money. They have an eye for true quality and can be very happy together.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign who loves routine and stability. For anyone to have a successful relationship with a Taurus they must be willing to spend quiet nights in and enjoy good food and comfortable surroundings. Luckily for this pair, Virgo is similar in that they have a tendency to fret and worry a lot and often resist being in the spotlight or initiating change. Virgo is an earth sign like Taurus, which means that they are both far happier walking together in the country, working in the garden with the earth, or enjoying good food and conversation. They seem to have an innate connection and understanding with one another.
Virgo’s critical eye is one point of contention that is likely to grate on Taurus’s nerves. Nobody likes having their faults pointed out, but at least here Taurus is a strong, solid character who will not take as much offence from Virgo’s occasional comments as a more sensitive sign such as Cancer would.
Taurus’s natural possessiveness is another potential cause of problems between the two earth signs because Virgo is a mutable sign. This means that, like Gemini and Sagittarius, Virgo is an adaptable character who does not like to be smothered or tied down. If Taurus cannot learn to let their partner have some freedom then they risk losing their more flighty Virgo.
Because they have such easy communication channels the problems between Taurus and Virgo can be discussed and worked through together. There is no overly passionate fire sign, intensely emotional water sign, or flighty air sign in this relationship. These two earth signs can sort things out in the practical and calm way that comes so naturally to them.
Cancer, as a cardinal sign, is likely to take the lead in this relationship. Taurus, a very placid sign, will not mind this for the most part. Cancer’s natural tendencies towards nurturing and caring fit very well with sensitive Taurus. The times when control issues might cause friction between the pair are when Cancer meddles in Taurus’s affairs. As a fixed sign Taurus is very stubborn and also likes to be in control of their own destiny. If their Cancerian partner starts to stick their nose in and try to control the finer details of Taurus’s life then the bull will reveal what a powerful sign it is underneath that outer placidity.
Taurus has a very magnetic, charismatic personality with a tendency for artistic flair that will attract Cancer towards them. Because of this it is likely that Cancer will make the first move. Sensual seduction, such as good food and music, are great ways for someone to find their way into a Tauran’s heart. It is not worth being too subtle about it because Taurus is an earthy, practical and direct character.
The compatibility of this match is not something that fades as the relationship settles down. In fact Taurus is a sign which is inclined to solid routines, loyalty and permanence. Their fixed nature means that once they start a task they will want to finish it before moving on to their next objective. The same attitude lies behind relationships so Taurus is always likely to be looking for something deep, long lasting and worthwhile from their relationships. Admittedly when they are young this is not so true. The raging bull can often take until adulthood before they settle down to their natural, placid, enduring nature.
Cancer is a very open and expressive sign so Taurus will soon know if their partner is not happy with something – Cancerian moods are legendary. Taurus on the other hand is more of a closed book. If something displeases them they are likely to work around it until it really annoys them, and then explode with rage before returning to their usual placidness afterwards. In many ways the compatibility of these two combinations is improved even further by Cancer’s outspoken opinions because they encourage their more withdrawn partners to express themselves before things reach the stage of explosion.
