Differences..Aries is very upfront and direct. They don't hide much. They can be inspirational by example, through the actions they take in life.. not through their words. Deep down - they want NO responsibilities in life... including the responsibilities that come along with having a serious relationship. No matter what an Aries says - there is a strong drive deep down to set out on a road trip - solo - and never look back. They don't particularly like other people much. They are not all that social - although they can attract others simply because the generate a lot of heat & fireworks (so they can appear deceptively social). But they don't normally seek out people. Leo is socially appropriate and political in behaviour (because they are a social sign). They are very organised and good at shouldering the responsibilities of life, including maintaining a long term relationship - and having a family. They are definitely the most responsible of the fire signs. As opposed to Aries - they have a strong focus on other people.. and in particular what those people think of them. They are very conscious of their social image. They impress and warm others.. They're very much the star of the show.. There would be no show without Leo. Sagittarius is beyond rules/norms... They are just free at heart. They see the world as their oyster. They are the most optimistic of the fire signs because they can let things roll off their backs.. and see the funny side of life. This also makes them the strongest... because it is just easier to live life - with a positive attitude. They can also be sentimental though, due to their philosophical streak... so you will meet an occasional "depressed" Sagittarian... but even their depression is somehow positive -- in a twisted kind of way. They are never *truly* gloomy. A Sagittarius cannot be caged. You can lasso an Aries eventually.. You can live your life with a willingly committed Leo... But a Sag is just FREE... and WILD - so let him/her be. IP: Logged |

To the people who mentioned fire signs sometimes being quiet or serious..I KNOW the reason.. This interpretation says it all: quote: FIRE: Aries, Leo, SagittariusRub a match lightly a few times on the ignition strip of a matchbook -- no ignition. Next, apply more pressure until the match ignites and suddenly burns brightly. Hold the burning match for a few seconds, then light a piece of paper with the burning match. Let the match go out after it is placed on a fire resistant surface (plate, ashtray, etc.). Light other matches and extinguish them by putting in water, blowing on, and smothering. At first, the match does not ignite when lightly struck, but with harder rubbing (more friction, thus higher ignition temperature) does start burning. Fire people need the proper amount of stimulation before they will show any interest in a situation, but once "ignited", fire people get intensely involved. Before ignition, fire seems completely disinterested. The only speeds on the fire gearshift are stop and ahead fast; the gear shift is made suddenly. Once the fire has started to burn, the flame only burns along the match (fuel), not out into the air or along the plate when the match is placed on the plate. Fire only moves toward what interests it personally (fuel) and ignores the rest (non-fuel: air, plate) as if it didn't exist. The lit match gives off heat and light. Fire can warm and inspire those nearby. Unfortunately too much heat burns up others -- all that is left is ashes. Fire is best as a stimulator when it enthuses people, rather than burning them up. If too enthusiastic and left to burn unchecked, fire can completely consume and destroy all the human and material resources. A fire can't control its own burning. Fire people are often very generous with their time, energy, and money -- provided the activity interests them (fuel)
The bolded parts are the best explanation I have found for typical fire sign behaviour. If they are not *sparked* by something... they will act as though they don't care less.. like everyone around them is a blank wall and they are just disinterested or lost somewhere in their own world. They only really act fiery - (in both positive & negative ways) when something - whether it is an idea, a person - a relationship - a rally for human rights etc... sparks their fire to action.

****Sagittarius is beyond rules/norms... They are just free at heart. They see the world as their oyster. They are the most optimistic of the fire signs because they can let things roll off their backs.. and see the funny side of life.

But a Sag is just FREE... and WILD - so let him/her be.**** I love this discription, very on the mark. I also liked Odette's discription regarding Fire moving towards fuel (interest).
Now considering the differences between the Fire signs, how do the Fire signs generally get along with each other? As a Sag, I have found most Arians to be really entertaining, funny, and inspiring. I like how Aries does not give up on themselves, or back away when faced with conflict. Aries takes on challenges that would bring others to tears, and manages to come out on top most of the time. I haven't met many Leos in real life, and have only gotten along with those on a very casual basis. I do admire the glamour and pride of Leos, but have been turned off by the bossiness (in the ones I know). I am usually lighthearted and am able to shrug most things off, but being bossed around is not one of those things. The more that I feel controlled/pushed around, the more I will rebel and escape. I do see how we Sags may come across as dogmatic at times. We identify with our search for truths so much, and get excited about ideals so much, that we can lose focus and not understand how others don' see things as we do. The other difference with Sags, is our chronic bluntness. Aries is too much of a leader and Leo is too regal to fall into the blunt verbal messes that Sags seem to constantly find ourselves in.

I like Sags bluntness though, it's refreshing. I don't find Leos to be as forward, or blunt because a) as Odette described - they are political signs. They are the most patient between Aries and Sags, and although they are direct (when they want to be) they are able to control their speech. They like control (similar to Scorpio). Aries and Sags I feel care less about that, and less about how people see them so there's no conflict about saying what's on their minds.One thing I notice though is the Sags I meet NEVER stay in my life for long. Literally. They are here one day and gone the next and it's disappointing. As an Aries, I envy their ability to excite people just from being present. IP: Logged |

And I kind of look at it like Aries is the baby, Leo is the middle child and acts like it, and Sag is the oldest and most responsible. Hence why it's harder for Leo and Aries to cooperate than other combinations.
i love it thats brilliant

Haha I meant the pure type maybe?  I just met a Sag woman, who lives her life idolising spiritual "gurus".. She told me it's just the same way a teenager idolises a popstar... Her spiritual teachers hang like artwork in her room .. She has an aries moon tho'  IP: Logged |

I'm kinda jealous of people with double fire in them (sun/moon). I like having a Taurus moon but I wish it were possible (haha) to switch sometimes.IP: Logged |

Yeah those with fire/fire are vertiable firebombs! Unstoppable sometimes  But an Earth Moon is good for grounding a fire sign. They make better decisions and are less absentminded Your Taurus Moon behind the Aries sun gives you wisdom of reflection  IP: Logged |

I have a Leo moon Sag venus and I'm very happy about that. Except for the wanting attention all the time Leoness! The only thing I'd change about my chart would be my Pisces Asc. Too sensitive.IP: Logged |

Trust me hannaramaa, you need that "down to earth" Taurus Moon. Our charts are similar except you have Sag on the Descendant. Aries and Saggie are not the most practical signs so your Taurus Moon keeps your feet on the ground and deals with the mundane. IP: Logged |
