What you like about each other: Fast-paced approach to life, spontaneity, love of adventure and travel, stimulating conversation, never a dull moment.
What drives you crazy: Too shallow/too philosophical, too bossy/too indecisive, different intellectual depths and interests.
My first thought on these two is, to slightly modify a well-known phrase, "It was the best of signs, it was the worst of signs." There are many things about these two that, at the least, makes for a very pleasant relationship. Two Fire signs are going to have a lot in common and have a lot of fun together. They're both impulsive, get bored easily and like new adventures. Take a look at the picture above. Do they look like likely companions or what? The fact that the Ram is a Cardinal sign and Sag is Mutable seems to work, also. However, Sag, who tends to be just a bit high-minded, doesn't necessary appreciate being subordinate to anyone. If the Ram gets too bossy or critical, as they're prone to do, you could easily see an example of fighting fire with fire.
This couple's ruling planets can relate to one another in various ways, also, depending on where they're placed in the individual's charts. Mars is energy and aggression and Jupiter is luck and expansion. In malefic configurations it can spell exacerbated aggression, which would not be a good thing. Unless your goal is world domination. Which could actually be a consideration of these two, for their own individual reasons. The ultimate ego trip and the ultimate philosophical coup. Think about it.
There could also be conflicts over Sag's philosophical nature and tendency to explore different ethics and societal paradigms. As stated in another Aries companionship editorial, the basic Ram philosophy is to kill them all and let God sort them out. This may not set well with the Sag. And if the Archer questions the Ram's core beliefs, you can bet that sword is going to come out. And these two can be pretty well matched in the arguing department. Whether your weapon of choice is a sword or a bow and arrow, you're going to be able to do some significant damage, one way or another.
This is another pair that ought to consider a fairly long engagement, unless they've been dating for a long time. Of course a long time to these two can be three weeks, so let me be a bit more specific. Give it at least a year, more if you can stand it. Again, the saving grace of compatible Moons or Ascendants may make this couple another match made in heaven. But you don't want to be married to this person before you find out that the matchmaker really came from the other direction, i.e. Fire Central. And be sure and let me know how it works out.
