Despite the many differences, a key synergy between the Western and Chinese zodiacs is the prized role of Trine combinations. In both systems, signs that are four steps apart are considered especially fortunate. One of the the Trine matches most revered in Western astrology is that between Aries and Sagittarius.

These are two Fire signs, an element which gives this pairing extremely passionate and dynamic energy. Aries' enthusiasm and ambition, combined with their pure-hearted idealism, will usually hold a visceral appeal for the wise and dedicated Sagittarius. Sagittarius' depth of vision and philosophical outlook will similarly resonate with Aries, filling them with a sense of freedom and possibility. The compatibility here exists on a fundamental, existential plane. Aries is, after all, the most child-like of all the signs, where Sagittarius emphasises a beyond-human conception of harmony between all living things. Thus, while these two can amuse each other no end, and will likely enjoy any kind of intimate attention, the essence of their connection is more abstract or spiritual than physical.

These two signs are natural collaborators. Aries' Cardinal modality is always beginning, always in the process of invention, while Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, ever reflecting on effects, consequences, and implications. This balance helps these signs work together effortlessly on any project, ensuring that shared outcomes reflect their compatible essential values. The difficulties they face elsewhere may also be less obtrusive with each other. Sagittarius tends to be very understanding of Aries' furious intensity and obliviousness to risk, while Aries is usually unperturbed by Sagittarius' potential to be overbearing or to overcommit themselves.

No relationship is perfect, and sometimes easy relationships are hard to prioritize over difficult ones—as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. In the right circumstances, however, the Aries/Sagittarius match can be a true gem, providing nourishment and dependability capable of lasting a lifetime.

In 2013, Apatow described: "We like working together. We probably get along much better than one would assume during the creative process. What makes [our marriage] work is we’re always trying to do better and understand each other. We’re both complicated people, but we want it to work and we love each other."

David E. Kelley (4/4/1956, Aries Monkey), Mandy Patinkin (11/30/1952, Sagittarius Dragon) : The actor and writer/producer collaborated on the award-winning TV series Chicago Hope. Speaking about his decision to return after initially leaving in the second season, Patinkin said: "I love my relationship with [Kelley] and the things that he says and the moral tales that he puts forth in the scripts. And the way he uses [Patinkin's character] Geiger as a voice for that learning of morality and in some cases the teaching of morality...I love living my day putting in front of my face and in front of my eyes songs and words that mean something to me and that are the kinds of ideas that I want in front of my face. And that's what David writes and that's what the character, I feel, both learns and delivers. So that's why I wanted to come back — it's a character I love."

Linda Lee Cadwell (3/21/1945, Aries Rooster), Bruce Lee (11/27/1940, Sagittarius Dragon) : The martial arts legend/actor and author were married from 1964 to 1973 and had two children. In Cadwell's bestseller, Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew, she wrote about their first date: "I was totally captivated by his magnetism and the energy which flowed from him; yet I cannot honestly say that I abruptly fell in love with Bruce that very night…the whole relationship was a gradual and maturing process which continued right through our whole marriage. Bruce used to say, 'Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.'"

Ewan McGregor (3/31/1971, Aries Pig), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (11/28/1984, Sagittarius Rat) : The actors worked together on Fargo and began a relationship. They have a child born in 2021. Speaking about Winstead joining the Star Wars universe in Ahsoka, Macgregor (who has played the character Obi Wan Kenobi multiple times) described: "She doesn't need any advice from me, but it was kind of cool that when it came up and she was starting to think about it — we thought it was amazing to both be in this world together … It's something that will [always] be with us. It's not something that ever goes away."

About their break-up, Lyon described in characteristic wry style: "I had been living [in LA] with Fred [Armisen] and during COVID I honestly think we broke up because I wanted a swimming pool. We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we’re still talking all the time, but Freddy doesn’t like a swimming pool. It might seem like a mundane reason for a breakup, but during that pandemic, you’ve got to get your laps."

Anita Pallenberg (4/6/1942, Aries Horse), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The musician/founding member of The Rolling Stones and actor were a couple throughout the 1970s and had three children together. After the intensity and excesses of their partnership, they continued a supportive friendship until Pallenberg's death in 2017. Richards has described how Pallenberg transformed his confidence and helped shape his iconic style: "Anita had a huge influence on the style of the times. She could put anything together and look good. I would wake up and put on what was lying around. Sometimes it was mine, and sometimes it was the old lady's, but we were exactly the same size, so it didn't matter."

Gyllenhaal said later: "[Witherspoon] is, as I would say about most of the women who I'm close friends with or had relationships in my life, one of the smartest, strongest, people I've ever met."
