Seems odd coming from me since I'm a triple Aries - but I have no fire sign friends. It's getting chilly out here with the water sign friends, and a bit dull with the earth sign friends. I want an Aries or Sag as a best friend but don't know how to keep them when I meet 'em! Tips? Suggestions?

mmmnnn -

with Sadge:

aim for the funnybone and fire!

ime - blurting things out is always the right way to go... even the bad ideas --- it's usually the Sadge in our group that wants to do that or slams the idea down... then comes back with somethin' way better.

>.>;

idk too well with Aries - I don't think the aries galpals I had were very Arian to the stereotype --- like that... each is so different - one is a total wingnut (my father always called her this so it stuck), one is a tomboy with a capital 'T'.... one is my husband's lil' cousin who is super lazy on one hand and bursting with energy and diarrhea of the mouth with the ohter... haha (god love her tho she's probably the normal one in the group), and my oldest bestie arian galpal --- she's rrrrrrrrrrreally into being sarcastic and metal/goth since way back in the 90s... she hasn't changed one bit... swear she wore a skirt to school once and I nearly keeled over - it was that big of a shock... she didn't do anything but draw that one.... oh but the whole lot of them had really bizarre senses of humour... though even that was never the same between them...

the wingnut laughed at everything... to the point it was annoying.
the tomboy one - well...it was hard to tell if she was laughing or not half the time... but she did have a great smile if you really got her to crack up... she was usually the joker oddly enough... and still had a poker face telling the joke... >.< how idk
my husbands cousin --- she's young, and very into trendy humour --- but a bit of a goofball at times... and flakey... but she's like my baby sister here so ~ haha
and my dark aries friend.... god we'd known each other since we were all of like 6 years old and in brownies... (her parents idea not hers).... and she's just so dark and cynical and demented with her humour... which is why we've been friends so long - since it's right up my Cap sun alley~ haha

there all different - I'm sure you are too! ~ <3

I guess sadge seems a bit more about the -finding the action- in whatever there is to do - and the arians are a bit more -in the moment- with what they like to do --

the two seem to appreciate an ear --- and partner in crime... and a good laugh.

that's my personal observation...
having dated more Sags than had simple friendships - and having fewer female friends of Sag than male - and having lots and lots of Aries girls around for years~ (well sporadically with my moving about all the time too and them never sticking to one thing either...haha)

I get along well with fire signs.... but after water, fire is my 2nd dominant element, despite being Earthian. haha

just be you~ and keep things rollin' ~ <3

I think being yourself is key. It's kind of hard to pick fire signs out sometimes. I instantly clicked with my Aries gfs, though from first meeting them they were extremely reserved and quiet. But after hanging out and showing my ridiculous, chatty Leo side everything went hunky-dory.
I have no idea what to tell you for Sagittarius people, as they will come and go at will. I can see Sagittarians being attracted to you though, with your Sag in your 7th house. Sagittarius people like people who are outgoing or outspoken and well-read like they are. So if you're smart, assertive (and even aggressive), spunky, and with a good sense of humor, you're well on your way to getting along with Sagittarius. Archers also like to party a lot, though. So in THAT particular case, you may have to put on your party girl side.

That is one thing I notice about fire signs (in my personal opinion) is they're way more reserved than you would think from their textbook descriptions. Well, not Sadges. I used to not like them but lately I've come to appreciate their wisdom, buoyancy, and all around cheerfulness! They are very, very smart indeed.

Leos... I think I could get along with Leos as long as they don't have a water mercury, and as long as I mind my tendency to criticize (critical mother, and Virgo IC). Although I haven't had the best long-term experiences with them, I always hope!

I'm not sure if I could stick with a fellow Aries actually, I think Aries likes people who challenge them but an Aries and another Aries would each be waiting for the challenge and eventually get bored from mirroring each other. Although Saturnine, I know what you mean about Aries being puzzling. We're a lot like Pisces in that way being so multi-faceted.

I guess there's nothing else I can really do except pray to the Astrology Gods they send me some good-hearted fire sign people to be my friend!

Also, if you two want to gab with me about male fire signs then I'm certainly open to that! BoysBoysBoys.

Yea that sounds sort of odd to me.
I'm not a fire sign but I have Aries friends anyway, they get all hyped up when I tell them about exciting things I'm planning on doing/or interesting people I've met, plan on meeting. The Aries I know like to feel as if they're at the forefront of things, getting into the energy of the moment whatever it is. It depends on who they are and where their interests lie tho, they don't get hyped up about just anything........maybe try to center the convo on what drives them and makes them feel alive, like "don't you wish you could just be doing/traveling to -----, wouldn't that be amazing", then they could agree or disagree and add in their spin on the topic. Then HYPE UP that thing, whatever it is, speaking in *potentials*. Because Aries is v.pure. Then from there PLAN on DOING someTHING related to whatever they offer up in that type of convo *with them*. Bring it up then, don't wait til later unless they're busy with something/somebody else all of a sudden. Active. But watch for genuine enthusiasm, otherwise -don't waste your time-. Really. They will flake. Aries ime is either super enthused or won't-lift-a-finger-to-do-that-thing-no-matter-how-much-someone-paid-them. The ones I know would rather be out doing something than receive a gift, they like experiences.

Then from there I guess you could gauge how well it's working, how much of that particular thing they have an appetite for. And then these activities are basically your bonding experiences, or the gateway to being closer in the emotional sense if that's what you're aiming for with these people.
Hmm. I've had a lot of Aries friends. If I read the thread later and something makes me think of something else I'll add to this. I think they're easy to get close to.

OK I just thought of something else. You have to be *super respectful* of their boundaries because if their attention gets diverted to some other mission that excludes you being a part of the picture then you're better off just keeping out of the way, give them room. Let them take care of things how it best suits them, how they think things should be done. And they are sorta fixed-like in the sense that you're either part of their moment or you're not. And they can switch really fast from being in the moment to out of it, for whatever reason. I would in the beginning lean to the side of you that says 'if they want me to know what's going on they'll tell me.' I would actually lean pretty hard on that side throughout the friendship. They don't really take to any kind of plying v.kindly if they're not ready to expose certain parts of their lives.

Maybe another way to put all that ^ is "Just assume they are in complete control of their life at all times and need no assistance/advice of any kind (unless obviously asked for)."
But if you want help in some way, like you're in a bind, let em know about it cos they generally like to help out..unless it's getting in the way of something they have cooking. Then you're like dust in the wind and they're that fabulous red corvette driving off into the sunset.

lol astrology-gods be kind!~ ^0^ (i like that!!!)

Leo women I've known have all been older than me and usually a friend's mother or my boss! haha They make great bosses - definitely keep you on your feet, sometimes hard to keep up with dem girls! I think because I'm a 5h sun and they rule my 12th but a lil of my 11th I get on pretty well with Leonine folk.

With Leo Sun men I haven't had much luck romantically - usually with Moons/Martians of that bunch. ^^; the attraction is there but there' usually mind games of some sort, or competitiveness... maybe because of the Tau/Sco placements in my chart -- iunno but I wish it weren't so.

Sagittarius men I've been plagued with almost as often as Aquarius men... like my husband... he's got his Venus on my Mercury, and his sun too close for comfort to my Sag Venus/S.Node -- then his Moon is on my Saturn... his Mars on my Vertex node in Aquarius... and good gravy his Saturn on my Pluto-Mars conj in Scorpio. /sigh Sags end up having weird placements to my personal plaents or gen. planets no matter where they fall in Nov/Dec... >.<;
The first Sag I dated was my first bf --- really muscular, true to the stereotypical Sadge image through and through... he was an avid hunter... it bothered me to no end, cause I hate hurting animals when it isn't for food or survival... can't stomach it, but he would just shoot whatever he saw. He had a dubious character... he also holds the honor of being the only bf I ever had that i went out with twice. lol both times with no success - and lots of baggage to carry --- grrrrrr

all well --

Another Sadge fella' - he was a vagrant and a criminal -- I'd saved up quite a bit of money in my teenage years --- he got in some trouble with the law and I used it to bail him out......... not a good idea. He took off when he was supposed to have been in rehab. gdi -- /fml --- then he pops back into my life about two years after -- sayin' how sorry he was that he left like that and burnt me.... but he wasn't gonna pay me back. --- gee thanks, pal.

I pick winners! all the time... LMFAO

then there's my old man.... he's not much better --- he's not a good representative of the sign either... he's an hikikomori - a shut in, a recluse, sociophobic... and only interested in video games... the MMORPG kind and the fighting ones mostly... argh!!! i thought he was a bit more outdoorsy like the first one... but when you meet them online - you never know until you know... hah --- naive and forgiving... and far to patient -- here I am pining for the day I'll be free to carry on alone. >.<; not easy cause I'm in another country now - and pretty much doomed to stay for my son's sake. whatchagonnado... right? lol

As for Aries -- I only ever had an experience with one guy. He changed everything. He had a Sadge Moon though and it fell right on my Venus-S.Node........ tada fate~ and then --- karma-- cause he was someone else's dreamboat - and I was a stowaway -- bad timing that one... ; ; I think he was a great example of an Aries -- if there is one... but, I may be biased since he was a total adonis, plus telepathic, and well... Aries in the 8th........... >.>; He was an all around nice guy really. Charismatic, but without an ego, carefree but hardworking... helpful but not a puss.... haha and his flirtations and sense of humour couldn't have been beaten...
I've known several other Aries fella's or Aries planet guys but he was the ---totalpackage+1 lmao

all dem boys - can't live with 'em can't live without 'em... gotta luv 'em~

Sag guys... I met a Sag guy who dug my best friend but flirted with me anyway and then TESTED me, for no reason, other than to get a reaction. I have never felt so alive interacting with someone lol. Oh, if only he wasn't an immature a*hole.

Leo guys...I've had good and bad experiences with them. Smart guys and confident in their opinions, but really, really proud creatures which confounds me (and yet doesn't because I'm just as proud probably - Jupiter square MC, and Aries sun, Merc, and Venus along with a Taurus Moon opp. Pluto in Scorpio. All that = a huge ego to build a wall around myself with.)

Leo women. Well, I used to like them but I just had one go psychotic on me for no reason a few months ago. She seemed to really believe I wanted to kick her off our online forum we both belonged too. Poor thing.

Aries guys - I don't have a lot of Aries guys tales to tell! However, riddle me this - I've known this Aries guy and been friends with him for about four years. He comes and goes out of my life really and that's been fine with me for the most part. However, during the last stretch I was kind of trying to move on with my life and be where I want to be and make a fresh start so I didn't talk to him for a long time, and would ignore him on occasion. He took the hint but always asked my best friend how I was doing when he saw her.

Him and I used to talk on the phone a lot at night, text, hang out, and for some reason it wasn't weird. It just felt like he was my friend. I was shocked because he was straight and he was my friend...I've never had that!

My point in mentioning all this is I think he likes me but I can't get him to just out with it. I just want to clear the air and see if I'm right, and I've asked point blank before but he played stupid (granted it was through a text.) But c'mon! I said to him "Why are guys so weird? This guy doesn't even know me and is calling me 'love' and 'baby' on Facebook." and he asked me if I liked the guy and what his name was (intermittently between other stuff we were talking about.) That's gotta be a hint - right? He has a Gemini moon and Taurus Venus, so I'm sure it's aspecting my Gem ASC and Taurus moon somehow, huh?


Sorry - I didn't meant to turn this into a "DOES HE LIKE ME OMG" thread but since we're on the topic of fire signs I threw it out there.

Interesting about not prying into their life. I'm kind of open about that just because there's nothing serious going on that I need to keep private. I would have thought other fire signs like opportunities to talk about or focus on themselves.

What hurts their feelings to the point of ending a friendship? Not just Aries but any of the signs.

Interesting, now that you mention it, despite being a Sag myself I donīt have any fire friends.
I once had a friend who was an early Aries in childhood, but that didnīt work out at all.

For some reason I seem to draw Virgo Suns to me easily, usually with a lot of Libra influence as well as Aquarians.
Actually in friendship it seems they have quite a lot of air in their charts, and for some reason Cancer Moon or ASC.


I guess I am one of the more reserved Sags,b ut it could be because my Venus is in Capricorn and I have Scorpio in my 11th house, with uranus on its cusp.

My friendships are always quite deep, with a lot of communication about psychological and spiritual things. If this is not there, I get bored and well, it jsut fizzles out.


and yes I need a bit of space; I donīt deal too well with demands being put upon me. What I give, I want to give freely, and it can be actually a lot, just donīt make me feel like I am OBLIGED to.

I have had quite some friends who were manipulating me emotionally and that is a real red flag to me now.

I don't know if it's just me but as a double Leo, I seem to hone in on people who are at least double representatives of some sign. You said you're a triple Aries, so maybe something similar applies with you. Maybe your energy is so there or strong that you need something equally strong to work with it?

Usually I vibe with people who are at least triple representatives of their sign, and I never had just a one time Leo click with me more, for example. Five time Aquarians, quadruple Aries or Virgo, there's often a strengthened representation of whatever the Sun sign is if they play a bigger role in my life. Then again my friendships always seemed astrologically weird since the actual contacts went through Antiscia more so.

No major help here on how to keep fire signs around, but I do agree with Ceridwen on the "Don't make it an obligation from your side or I'm gone" thing for my part as well. If I choose to associate with someone, that's my decision and then I'm in.

Things that have worked for me, being incredibly blunt, completely turn off my verbal lady filter. Works everytime.

Be honest and straight to the point. And don't try to have a fire sign as a friend unless you really like them. Speaking as sagittarius, I tend to avoid people who like me for shallow reasons.

This is actually a fairly interesting discussion...Despite being an Aries/Sagittarius combo, I only have one fire-sign friend (a Leo). Most of my friends are Pisces.

My general experience with other fire signs is easy come/easy go. They're great, fun people, but they're always moving on to the next adventure. I can never really get most of them to "stick" long enough to be real friends with them (and even the Leo friendship has a bit of a convenience factor about it)...Sort of makes me wonder if I'm the same way, and just don't realize it.

Wanna befriend a Sag? Be absolutely 100% HONEST about everything. No white lies to spare feelings. Be kind, of course, but always straight. We LOVE that.

i think your fire friend would need to have similar aspects to you in order for it to escalate into becoming best friends. lets say you're a fire sign, but you have earth in your chart. and then lets say you have strong pluto in your chart as well. so a fire/earth mix with pluto in them, or a fire sun with some water would be compatible with a fire/earth person.. in my case, the air sun folks i consider as my close friends, have strong pluto and water, or strong saturn in them (these are combos i have as well).. we clicked from the moment we first met. a very strong bond from the get. i'm a triple air, with heavy water. i just cant get along with other airs unless they have some pluto or water energy as well.

I get along best with earth/water vs. fire and water or water/water. Most of the fire/water people I meet are Leo/Cancer. I've had bad enough experiences that I'm paranoid every time I do meet Leo/Cancer people! However, it's not nearly as bad if they have an air or fire mercury vs. a water one.

I agree with most of what you say but from my experience of having an ex Sag fiance I don't think you have to be 100% honest with EVERYTHING - some things you should keep to yoursef as long as you're not being deceitful or cheating. Sag are generally positive and upbeat and like me (Aquarius) can't stand negativity

I can be a blunt, uncouth jack@ss* and seem to have a lot of Saggie (or heavily Saggie-influenced) friends.

* A minor example: Both of my older girls are in the girl scouts (one Brownie, one Daisy).
Well, it's come time again for the cookie selling racket, and some of the new Daisy moms were sitting around talking about it while we waited for their meeting to end.

Mom 1: "Oh, I don't even know what I'm going to do. I mean, I don't even really like Girl Scout cookies!"

Mom 2: "Oh, I know! If I'm going to cheat, I want it to be something good and home made, not one of these."

Mom 3: "I know! They're not even very good!"

Me: "I'll cut someone for a Samoa."

*quizzical looks from all three*

Mom 2: "Um..."

Me: "I'll cut someone for a Samoa. The coconut, caramel, and chocolate crack-rock ones. Love 'em. Om nom nom."

Mom 1: "...The shortbread ones can be good to keep around if you have someone over for coffee..."

Edited to add: I think I'm having a difficult time transitioning from a heavily male tech industry into staying home a bit with my new baby.
We used to talk freely about cutting someone for a cookie.
*sniff*

This reminded me of something I did when I was a child.
We were like in the 3rd or 4th grade and I was with a few kids at a lunch table.
One of the girls said something to the effect of, "Oh, I hate it when people have fillings. They're so gross."
Now, I grew up with well water, had horribly soft teeth, and not the most conscientious parents - my back teeth (especially) are rife with fillings. Not the nice, white ones, either - the ugly, probably toxic silver ones.
Anyway, I responded, "So, you wouldn't be friends with someone who had some?"
"No! They're so gross!"
"So, if someone had a mouth filled with them, you wouldn't even want to sit by them at lunch?"
"No!"
And, well, I've forgotten what I said then, but I remember that even then I recognized it as obnoxious. It was something like, "Then, you'd better hate me!" followed by my opening my mouth as wide as I could to show her my (admittedly awful) teeth.

-_-

She squealed and ran off.
So did her posse.

My Saggitarius best friend didn't mind, though.
