Aries The Ram

Aries: Love and Compatibility

When they so desire, natives of Aries can be very charming and virtually irresistible to the opposite sex. However, individuals governed by this Sign need to harness their powerful energies...or at least rein them in a little...so those with whom they would like to spend time are not overwhelmed by their advances. Aries will assume the role of motivator in a relationship and the driving force compels those who fall under its jurisdiction to assume the leading light in any cooperative venture. Indeed, sometimes it almost appears as though Aries subjects want to defeat their partners instead of love them. Romantically enthusiastic and adventurous, these natives will always want to push physical pleasure to new plateaus and their partners can occasionally be overwhelmed by such a spirited approach. The Aries sexuality is driven, powerful and akin to a feat of showmanship when these individuals are truly captivated. This Sign is by nature the show-off of the Zodiac and performance in the bedroom is no exception. Aries subjects will be dramatic, captivating and sure to get a partner's undivided attention. The more appreciated these natives feel, then the more they will invest in their romantic overtures. Much pampering and an abundance of attention will be needed with an Aries sweetheart, since this is a soul who thrives on feeling that he or she is number one in the life of a loved one. Those ruled by Aries will do the initial chasing and while not usually attracted to being chased themselves, will happily accept overdone displays of affection one their hearts have been given. There is a tendency here toward jealousy and possessiveness, but a potential partner will need to avoid showing the same qualities since any form of clinging is sure to drive the Aries individual in search of fresh pastures. Still, beneath all the Aries bravado and show actually lurks a somewhat innocent child who simply wants to explore the wonderful world and be appreciated.

Despite the passionate nature and gift for loving deeply, Aries natives seldom wear their hearts on their sleeves. Indeed, they may not be good at expressing their love in words...but they do relish hearing such endearments from their loved ones and can listen to declarations of undying affection and everlasting fidelity with the utmost appreciation. Perhaps the greatest weakness of an Aries individual in love is the tendency to cross-examine and ask too many questions. Although these are not souls normally in the habit of mincing their words, it will be necessary to employ tact or even keep silent if things get out of hand. By being more toleratant, Aries subjects can find greater happiness. It will also be necessary for those ruled by this Sign to share the power in a relationship, remembering to ask advice, to discuss and to consult. All too often, Aries individuals forget to do this and are later surprised when any resentment arises.

Being aggressive, action-oriented, often impatient and at times, even a little impulsive, Aries natives find any sort of delay or postponement almost impossible to bear...at the very least, they are adverse to waiting. Thus, a potential partner must always timely follow through with whatever is promised and never stand too firmly in the way of these individuals as they move headlong through life. These are souls normally regarded as being rather combative and will relish a challenge or dare. However, it must be remembered that they only enjoy those contests and battles in which they win or are relatively certain that the odds are stacked in their favor. If they suspect that any challenger is more expert than they are, then no contest will take place. They will simply not find the time or make up another excuse, but will never admit the real reason for the decline....that they are afraid they might lose. Hence, any potential partner would be well-advised to allow the Aries native to win often and never force him or her to compete when there is an obvious reluctantance to engage in a fight. In short, it will be necessary to allow those ruled by this Sign to save face. Those governed by this Sign will certainly lose interest in any potential partner if they cannot be "firstest with the mostest." For example, they dislike anyone seeing and then talking about a movie before they themselves have seen it, or when anyone gets in front of them in any way...whether it be financially, educationally or emotionally, or even if someone gets in front of them in a line or when walking. That having been said, these natives are not necessarily adverse to a partner forging ahead of them in some areas of life, as long as that partner refrains from boasting or bragging about the greater achievements within their hearing. While there is a tendency here to quickly forgive, subjects of Aries seldom forget any type of put-down or the fact that they have not been regarded sufficiently praiseworthy to be at the very top of any loved one's admiration list.

When it comes to long term commitments, Aries individuals rarely meet partners who truly understand their temperament. The romantic nature here tends to be very intense, with both the males and females craving sympathy and affection more than anything else...but these are more affectionate souls than ones who are passionate. It is important for Aries natives to learn self-control or much trouble and annoyance are likely to be the bane of any long term partnership. Unfortunately, if the life of an individual governed by this Sign is not marred in an extended relationship, it most likely will be later by children or relatives. Romantic longevity is a precarious venture for those ruled by Aries. Although these persons are ideal companions in a general way, they know little of the more exalted phases of domestic affection.

The Aries male will undoubtedly be a rash and impetuous individual, impulsive in love affairs and marriage...as he is with everything. He is likely to fall in love easily and will give all of himself at the moment, but will never be the "hopeless romantic." He is exciting, dynamic, creative, never dull and usually youthful in looks. Being inherently dominant, he often seeks out someone of a weaker nature...someone he can impress and protect with his so very masculine qualities. Attracted by beauty and apparent helplessness, the Aries man needs a mate who will be content to play second fiddle, remaining in the background where due admiration can be paid to this male's prowess and ability. In short, the Aries man expects adoration from his partner. Unlikely to yield or back down in any fight or contest, this male is both fearless and courageous. While he will not foolishly seek out a quarrel, once in one he will be there to win and should he happen to lose, his disappointment will be great. Although rarely revengeful, the Aries male does not easily forgive a wrong. Adventurous and active, this man possesses strong willpower but can be overly-generous with his time, money and possessions...while, at other times he can be incredibly intolerant, selfish and demanding. He has a natural ability to lead others, but the chief fault here lies in his own inconsistency. In order to be happy with an Aries man, it will be necessary to allow him to believe that he is "lord and master." He must be given plenty of reason to be proud of his partner, who will be expected to do everything both quickly and well...particularly if such adds to his prestige. It will be important not to command or quarrel with this man in order to make him recognize his own shortcomings...it is best to appeal to his sympathetic and better judgment. Another important factor for any potential partner to consider is that, for some unknown reason, the Aries male harbors a tremendous fear of being alone. Because he desires the means by which he can express himself, he will constantly seek the companionship of others. However, those being sought are rarely on this man's own level...almost anyone who helps to inflate the ego will be readily accepted. Thus, in terms of relationships, the demands of the Aries male to insist upon a partner who is simply around all the time can prove to be quite exhausting. If any potential mate finds it impossible to keep up with this man and his endless energy or if he believes the relationship is not working, then he is likely to end the affair rather quickly, anxious to start another without looking back. That having been said, the Aries male is very faithful when he finds his true love. However, he enjoys the chase as much as the catch and in order to achieve romantic success with this man, it will be important for any potential mate to be outgoing, independent, possess a sense of adventure and keep just that little bit ahead of him.

Ambitious, hardworking and successful, there is little that can hold the male ruled by Aries. Probably his most irritating fault is contradiction. This man knows a lot and heaven help anyone who gets the facts wrong. He is able to plan for the future with exciting and progressive ideas. Sometimes, there is no pleasing this male, but he is very romantic at heart once he has made up his mind on a mate, will be constant and true. This man will always want to be the center of his loved one's attention and probably take it for granted that he is. Flattery works with the Aries male and he can consume large amounts, provided he does not expect that it is a line. Once in love, he will leave no doubt regarding his feelings. This is a man who is warm-hearted and virile, but also somewhat bossy. He likes to be waited on hand and foot but in return, is ready and willing to fight for the best for his partner, children and family. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any partner to allow the Aries male to believe he is lord and master. It will also be important for a partner to give the Aries man plenty of reasons to be proud of what that partner accomplishes. Things he expects to be done should be done quickly and well, particularly if they add to his prestige. It is useless to try and make the Aries male see his shortcomings by way of commands or quarreling...appeals should always be made to his sympathetic side and his better judgment. In addition, he detests muddle or fuss, so any prospective partner must be organized.

The Aries female is impulsive, independent, busy and courageous. She constantly strives to be the head of her social set and is always a very active woman, both mentally and physically. She is inclined to accept a long-term proposal at the drop of a hat and then repent the decision during her moments of leisure...of which she often has few. Indeed, if any woman can get along without a mate, then it would be the Aries female. She is able to do everything for herself, making it difficult for her to find the strong partner she needs for romance. That having been said, this is nonetheless a romantic soul who will demand romance on a daily basis throughout her entire life, and it must be remembered that to this woman, romance is not simply the sexual act...it is also the accompanying jewelry and flowers. It will be vital that any partner not make the mistake of forgetting this female's birthday or any important anniversary date since to do so will most certainly result in a trip to the doghouse. Perhaps the answer here would be to buy an expensive piece of jewelry and then hide it away, just in case. It will also be necessary for any mate to try and condition this woman against possible extravagances, but this must be done by appealing to her reason and better instincts rather than by force. An Aries female will only be happy with a mate who makes her proud. A steady hand must be exerted over her shortcomings, but only in private...authority must never be exhibited to the outside world. This is a masterful woman who will be too much of a whirlwind in the home for any soul who is basically quiet and passive. While she is capable of much generosity, she can easily become loud, self-opinionated and rather shrewish. However, it is perhaps jealousy which is the major stumbling block in terms of the Aries woman's relationships. It is the one which has probably brought her more heartaches and unhappiness than any faults she might possess. In essence quite charming, if this female could only realize the damage she can cause courtesy of her jealous streak, she would surely learn self-control...indeed, if this cannot be learned, she is unlikely to find any peace, happiness or tranquility. Blessed with an abundance of willpower, this woman has the ability to contol any emotion should she choose to do so. However, she is by nature exceedingly stubborn, irritable and impatient when placed under any form of restraint. Often deeply involved in her personal career, the Aries female is nonetheless extremely capable of manging a career, home and family with simultaneous success. This is a woman who tends to get what she wants, one way or another, and she is usually attracted to a mate who behaves in a dominant and forceful manner. Indeed, any show of insecurity is a definite "turn-off" for the Aries woman.

This is a woman who possesses a brilliant and independent mind, coupled with vigorous energy. She is usually a clever conversationalist, good at entertaining and appreciates the chance to help her partner rise in the world. Often, this female manages quite successfully to maintain her own career alongside any long term relationship. In fact, she tends to be a better mate if she is working or has an outside interest. This is an elegant woman with good taste, which shows in her fashion sense. Perhaps the worst faults of the female ruled by Aries are jealousy and the wish for a competitive social life. She is happiest with a passionate and possessive partner...one who is determined to make a presence in the world. Should this woman become involved with a weaker character, then she will find that unhappiness will eventually overtake her, for she cannot abide others to succeed where her chosen partner fails. This can result in a grumbling and ungracious female who is apt to constantly find fault. However, if she is partnered with the right mate, then she will be totally fulfilled and remain faithful for life. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to verbally appreciate every effort this woman makes to aid in her partner's success and to compliment her for such efforts. The Aries female likes to be taken where she can be seen. She also loves to meet new and interesting people. Thus, any potential mate will need to achieve as much prestige in life as is possible. However, it is important to note that this is not a woman who wants to be spoiled. She enjoys a challenge and will relish in backing her partner all the way.

Positive Aspects Of Aries In Love:
Exuberant - Expressive - Passionate - Generous - Protective - Adventurous - Fun-Loving - Creative - Energized - Devoted

Negative Aspects Of Aries In Love:
Temperamental - Jealous - Possessive - Inconsiderate - Reckless - Fickle - Ego-Oriented

Romantic Style:
Sensual - Physical - Lustful - Prone To Roughness - Often Selfish
Fulfillment is very important to Aries natives in terms of physical intimacy. Energetic and adventurous, the romantic enthusiasm of these individuals is contagious. However, they can be rather selfish and need a partner who is capable of dealing with their quick temper. Here, a mate must be prepared to give more than he or she receives since Aries subjects tend to believe that they rule the world. They are also apt to indulge in displays of childish tantrums, which must be ignored...firmly but politely...until the situation has been given time to cool down.

Aries and Aries
Aries individuals do not simply meet and fall in love, each tends to explode into the life of the other. Both the male and the female here adore to sweep a new love interest off his or her feet and will continue to do so throughout the relationship. It is part and parcel of the Aries nature to express feelings of love exceedingly well. However, it is also in the Aries nature to express grievances with equal ability and if the one who causes the upset does not change the situation or attitude, then much anger and criticism will be the result. Indeed, this tends to be the hallmark of an Aries/Aries relationship. There will be a great deal of attraction between these two, but it is usually of a physical nature and intensely sexual. Unfortunately, this wild type of intensity is often short-lived and prone to rapid burn-out. Inclined to impulsive behavior, both of these individuals can be very selfish and this may carry over into the romantic arena. If on of these individuals should happen to stray down the path of infidelity, then the infamous pride of the Aries character will not allow these two to stay together. In short, the heat of love and passion will be replaced by the icy cold of disgust and disdain. The loss of personal respect is no small matter to the Aries individual.

Both individuals here possess a domineering nature. In order to achieve longevity, it will be necessary for each to make great sacrifices. There is a mutual lack of understanding coupled with ego problems that can result in a void emanating between them. The beginning of an Aries/Aries relationship will be full of smiles and happiness, but as the days go by, it will likely become a fierce competition to see who can be number one. Both are always so career-oriented that they are liable to give prominence to their respective jobs. In addition, both are independent. Still, this could enable the pair to divert their energies into different areas, which will lessen the conflict and ease the tension between them. The main advantage to this pairing is that there will be no concealment or feigning...there will also not be much in the way of caution, reason or practicality either. Here, each individual will want to maintain control and given the strong Aries ego, it will be difficult for them to solve problems. Hence, there is sure to be a power struggle. Still, if both partners are able to swallow their pride and give in a little, this could be a successful relationship. Essentially, it will be necessary for both partners to work together instead of competing, and this must be accomplished without selfishness. Nonetheless, the joined spirits to two Aries natives can gain a great deal. In addition, they must learn to give respect and take respect. They will understand more than anyone else the need of their partners for freedom but the tendency for making hasty judgments is sure to result in outbursts of temper. Still, the Aries/Aries combination will never be boring and can even become a dynamic relationship. Here, there is an abundance of spontaneity that will always keep things new, coupled with a mutual energy and ability to reconcile after disagreements that will make this a passionate and compatible relationship.

Since both are ruled by the planet Mars, it is somewhat akin to soldiers meeting on a battlefield...the only options are to fight against each other or fight together. Normally, this pair will experience an active and exciting time in each other's company and both will be happy to meet any challenges along the way. Since Aries is governed by the element of Fire, which holds tremendous energy, these two individuals will be able to argue almost indefinitely without either becoming tired. Disagreements will be the norm but luckily, neither harbors a grudge and compromises will be essential if there is a fight for leadership. In addition, both partners are Cardinal in quality, which means each will be skilled at initiation...when they see what they want, they pursue it without a moment's hesitation and never waste time at feeling out the other person before jumping into a relationship. Basically, all that is needed for a smooth relationship here is that both partners maintain a tight grip on their egos and stand ready to provide the respect that is needed. Thus, this can be an excellent match which results in a life of bliss and harmony.

In essence, even if there is a lack of contrasting personalities here, there will be an understanding on the part of each individual regarding the shortcomings of the other. This could be a peaceful union, but if both are dominant, then conflict will arise since each will desire to be head of the household. This pair could go the distance in terms of longevity and if done right, will be an exciting adventure.

Aries and Taurus
Initially, this appears to be an excellent match. However, a long lasting relationship is probably not very likely. The calm and logical Taurus partner will soon drive the more active and fun-seeking Aries partner out of his or her mind. By nature, Aries needs to be caught up in the moment, with the involvement of new ideas being the life blood. This is not the case for Taurus. Those governed by Taurus are logical and conservative, refusing to rush into anything. They can also be jealous and possessive. If the Aries partner seems to be more interested in other things, then the Taurus native will not be given the time and attention necessary to keep this domestically included individual happy. Physical contact is paramount to the Taurus subject and he or she can be very demanding in this quarter. The new ideas and actions of the Aries individual will keep Taurus in a state of jealous confusion. On the other hand, the Aries partner must be active in the public life...generally juggling a home and a career very successfully...to keep the energies stirred up to a certain pitch. If this does not happen, then the physical side of a relationship becomes somewhat passe to the Aries partner who, in his or her boredom, will look for another partner in a thrill-seeking attempt to keep the desired adventure alive. The Taurus native does possess many good points and can bring much to a relationship...but probably not with Aries, who can be fickle if the Taurus nature causes him or her to feel confined or stifled. This will drive away an Aries individual as quickly as he or she was initially attracted. This will be something of a shaky union unless Taurus can manage to calm the inherent Aries characteristics. A clash of wills and personalities here could lead to more than simple arguments...perhaps even physical violence.

The most notable aspect of the Aries/Taurus pairing is its passionate nature and under certain cirumstances, this could be a mutually giving relationship since each partner has much to learn from the other. This union is all about balance, or the lack thereof. Taurus natives adore being wooed and romanced. These are concepts that may be basically foreign to the brash, straightforward and totally unstable Aries. Still, Taurus can help Aries to rein in some of the more foolish and impractical impulses, while Aries will aid Taurus in being more spontaneous and adventurous. Essentially, Taurus is sensual, patient and gentle and an Aries native will be attracted to these qualities, perceiving the Taurus native as possessing that quality those governed by Aries desire in the extreme...knowing when and how to seize life's opportunities. The Aries partner may occasionally toy with his or her Taurus mate...playing off the notorious Taurus laziness or trying to push Taurus into making hasty decisions...but the Taurus native can usually convince Aries to slow things down a little. Aries provides excitement to this relationship whereas Taurus brings security and romance.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. Generally, Venus and Mars blend well, representing the two necessary halves of the same coin and a good balance of energies. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Taurus is governed by the element of Earth. Thus, Aries individuals want to take charge of their own destiny but Taurus needs to be assured of security and stability. Sometimes, Taurus can be possessive, which the independent Aries native will not tolerate. However, if Aries can assure Taurus that the relationship is strong and that he or she does not intend to go anywhere, then the Taurus partner can be flexible and tolerant of that all important Aries independence. Aries is Cardinal in quality and Taurus is Fixed. In this pairing, the Aries native will not get his or her own way no matter how hard he or she might try...indeed, not to attempt it all would probably be a better course of action. Taurus is not going to budge and Aries will meet with more success by employing finesse and charm instead of argument. Compromise will be essential since both of these persons will want to be the leader. Still, this will be a passionate relationship...impulsive and deliberate. The contrasting personalities and ability to learn from one another can make this a mutually giving and satisfying union.

In essence, this can be a winning combination. Taurus will appreciate the outward nature of Aries and Aries will appreciate the earthy nature of Taurus. However, what each appreciates about the other may come to be what is most disliked with the passage of time. The romance will undoubtedly be dynamic, but there may not be much hope for anything more. Still, excitement could help to stimulate this combination and add to its longevity.

Aries and Gemini
The Aries individual will initially be attracted to the good-looking and socially amusing Gemini native, but the Aries desire to dominate will quickly rouse the rebellious tendencies of those governed by Gemini...tendencies that are always lurking just beneath the surface at the best of times. At first, the Gemini subject will laugh off the inherently bossy manner of Aries but if such continues, then there will be a revolution and one that will surely lead to a parting of the ways. Gemini individuals require fun and mental stimulation. Routine is death to these persons and any attempt to get a Gemini native to take care with health or finances must be undertaken in an extremely casual fashion. This union will undoubtedly be plagued with constant bickering until one or the other eventually throws in the towel and leaves the arena. The disagreements may be kept to a minimum, but both of these Signs relish having a good argument...and Gemini is prone to stir one up if he or she has to. For this relationship to last, the Aries partner needs to have developed (or is willing to develop) a keen sense of justice and patience...neither of which come easily to this Sign. Those governed by Gemini can be exalted one minute and in the depths of depression the next, which behavior will usually leave the Aries partner in a state of total confusion. Even though Gemini natives are eloquent in their speech, they are often superficial with the mind working busily on two different things at once. Still, in terms of a casual relationship, this could be a perfect match. Both will share in the excitement and adventure. Neither will ever be bored when they are together and neither will waste time wondering if the union will meet with a sad or happy ending.

The Aries/Gemini combination connects on both a physical and intellectual level. Each adores activity and remains optimistic even in the most trying of situations. They generally enjoy good communication and a deep understanding of the other's nature. Gemini natives find the pioneering and independent character of Aries to be most appealing. Still, should the Gemini partner find Aries to be too controlling or if the Aries partner takes the flirtatious nature of Gemini too seriously, arguments are sure to set the tone in this relationship. Nevertheless, there is a good balance here. The Aries individual wants to experience things and Gemini wants to discuss them. Together, they can make all kinds of new discoveries that each may have missed alone. Both partners will be blessed with a plethera of energy and share many common goals. Gemini is a thinker and a talker...one who prizes intellectual stimulation and freedom and who loves to look at all sides of an argument. Aries adores jumping headlong into new projects and has no aversion to getting dirty hands in the process. In this union, while the Gemini individual might be wishy-washy, Aries will be straightforward and decisive, making for a rather wonderful combination. Still, it is imperative that the Aries native allow the Gemini partner intellectual space.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. Due to the differing approaches, this pair usually works marvellously in tandem...getting their respective points across in different ways. However, each definitely needs to get those points across. Fevered debates can either add spice to this combination or ruin it altogether. The Aries subject needs to understand that Gemini adores a heatedly good argument, not to inflict insults or to dominate but simply as a magnificent workout for the brain. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Gemini is governed by the element of Air. This is an excellent combination since Air fuels Fire and makes it spread. Thus, the Gemini partner will help Aries to realize his or her full potential since Gemini possesses the energy to keep up the the fast pace and wild ideas of the Aries individual. The blend of true, driving passion and intellectual prowess makes just about anything possible for this pair. Both will have wide-ranging interests and best of all, the Aries partner can come home at the conclusion of a long and active day to tell chat-hungry Gemini all about what happened. Aries is Cardinal in quality and Gemini is Mutable. Hence, the Aries native will naturally initiate new plans and Gemini will be willing to undertake almost anything...provided he or she is not forced to do so. Another dynamic aspect to this pairing will be the low level of competition between the two. Aries revels in the glory and Gemini will be more than happy to remain in the background, operating the strings. Both of these Signs are apt to be better at starting things than ending them, so if one partner becomes bored with the direction the relationship is heading, the other will not resent moving on to something new. Perhaps the best aspect of an Aries/Gemini match is the ability to work together as a single unit. In some instances, it might even be beneficial if this pair were to stay separated for a short period and then take a fresh look at each other from a distance. It could go far in helping them to keep their relationship interesting and possibly even eternal.

In essence, this combination may well experience difficult times due to the strong differences in the physically romantic arena. The mind plays an important role in such an area for the Gemini individual. Thus, Aries may prove to be simply too conventional. Though not a perfect match, the Aries/Gemini union can succeed with a little understanding and effort by both partners.

Aries and Cancer
The Aries individual may experience some trouble in trying to break through the protective shell of a Cancer native. Those governed by Cancer tend to hide their feelings inside and may project to the world at large a somewhat false image of being thicker-skinned than they truly are. Eventually, if the Aries individual does manage to penetrate the outer shell, then he or shee will find an extremely sensitive person with feelings that are easily damaged. Initially, Cancer will be attracted to Aries courtesy of this Sign's strong personality, but within a short time, the Cancer native comes to realize just how different the value system is between them. In addition, the fiery love of Aries may well cause Cancer to wonder exactly how long real love can last with such intensity. Being prone to moodiness and easily hurt to the point where the Cancer subject may pout for days does not sit well with the direct and energetic character of Aries, who thrives on activity and new beginnings. The quiet outer facade of a Cancer native was most likely the chief attraction for Aries, since this individual is a go-getter and likes to have a tranquil place to recover in peace. Cancer is essentially a homebody who wants a large family and the Aries individual might not be ready for such a scenario for quite some time. Thus, the Cancer partner will begin to lose interest in the sexual act since secretly, Cancer does believe that sex is for procreation. This is an attitude that will rapidly cause the Aries native to seek elsewhere for a partner. Energetic, sociable and forward-looking, the Aries native will find it difficult to adapt to the desires of home-loving, protective and nurturing Cancer, who likes to be the leader and will spend more time sulking than talking unless he or she is allowed to make most of the decisions. Given the differences and clash in personalities here, this could be a shaky union at best.

An Aries/Cancer love affair is essentially a case of "opposites attract." Aries individuals are rash and brash while Cancer individuals are sensitive and emotional. Aries can certainly be emotional, but in a fiery and impetuous way that can totally overwhelm the Cancer native. Although Cancer prefers to take time with relationships, he or she will probably find the Aries whirlwind approach to be exceedingly stimulating. In turn, Aries will undoubtedly regard the Cancer sensitivity to be appealing...it is a good balance for the typical Aries bluntness. However, trouble may arise if Cancer's mood swings or the aggression of Aries becomes hurtful. Here, each party must take time to listen to the needs of the other and understand that they are coming from different directions to meet a common goal. Cancer is indicative of home while Aries is indicative of self. Still, one magnificent dynamic shared by this pair is that both will be fiercely protective of those they love. Cancer individuals use their shells to draw around themselves, family and mate when trouble threatens. Aries individuals use strength and bravery for the same purpose...rather like a knight in shining armor. Cancer will provide Aries with a happy domestic life and emotional security. However, there is sometimes a tendency for the Cancer partner to build an idealized image of the Aries mate or be overly-possessive and this can grate horribly on the independent Aries. Still, if the Aries native can reassure the Cancer subject that he or she is loved and cherished, this will help tremedously. In short, Aries truly needs to learn to listen to Cancer, who operates on an instinctive level. In return, the advice given by Cancer can aid the Aries partner to avoid silly mistakes caused by the typical lack of planning inherent in this Sign.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. The open and passionate nature of Aries will appeal to Cancer, who often internalizes emotions and feelings. Moreover, those governed by the Moon can possess an intense energy that Aries can help them to release. The Moon controls the tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life...similarly Cancer works behind the scenes. In addition, Cancer tends to be sentimental and can teach Aries to slow down and appreciate life instead of constantly rushing to the next thing on the agenda. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Cancer is governed by the element of Water. This can be a magnificent combination if the parties work together...using both action and emotion to get things accomplished. Cancer can help Aries to be more gentle and Aries can teach a Cancer native how to emerge from his or her shell. But, Cancer can be emotionally manipulative and on occasion, there may simply be too much Water which dampens the enthusiasm of Fire. Conversely, too much Fire can cause Water to evaporate, leaving the Cancer partner emotionally raw. Here, it will be necessary for both partners to talk openly and freely in order to ensure that their balance is maintained. Both Aries and Cancer are Cardinal in quality. Hence, both are initiators but will have to learn how to cooperate. Aries is a natural leader, always rushing forth to meet a challenge, but Cancer is also indirectly in charge courtesy of emotional control and the ability to weigh a situation. Cancer tend to compromise somewhat easily while Aries may be unwilling to yield and the Cancer partner may have to accept giving in. Perhaps the best aspect of an Aries/Cancer match comes with the realization that they are on the same team...the combination of Fire and Water does work well together. If Aries is out there getting attention and Cancer is quietly supporting the back end, then each partner's ability to provide what the other lacks will make for an equal relationship.

In essence, this combination may experience difficult times in terms of longevity. By nature, Cancer is moody, sentimental and secretive, with a tendency to live in the past. These natives have a hard time forgetting serious conflicts that may happen in a relationship. Plus, the secretive nature has the potential of clashing with the openess associated with those governed by Aries. Here, the first year will be the hardest. If this pair can make it beyond that point, then there is a good chance the union will endure for quite some time.

Aries and Leo
The attractions between these two could be passionate, fiery and instantaneous. However, the need of a Leo native to be treated as the greater light in the household, coupled with need for constant attention, could cause much strife with the Aries partner, whose "me first" attitude rivals that of Leo. Moreover, the Leo individual's requirement for incessant flattery may meet with disapproval and resentment, since Aries tends to believe that "once said" should be sufficient for anybody. Should the Leo partner begin to collect his or her compliments from other attractive sources, then Aries will make the effort to appease and if the love he or she holds for the Leo native is very strong, then the Aries partner will make a tremendous effort to become the greatest admirer of all. Still, this could soon venture into the realm of boredom for Aries unless he or she can collect the same from Leo. After all, it is part and parcel of the Aries nature to enjoy being told how wonderful he or she might be. An Aries partner will also need this type of encouragement if any project is to be completed...although this Sign is a true trailblazer, it is not known for its finishing ability. Here, there are many similarities in the romantic arena, which can be one of the most important things that will keep this pair true to commitments. Between the two of them, if at least one is loving and tactful with the other...meeting emotional needs...then this could be a happy union of some longevity.

This is most assuredly a dynamic love affair where sparks will fly. There will also be a mutual and healthy love of sportsmanship and competition. This relationship will likely see a lot of action but both will want to be boss and problems can arise when their equally large egos get in the way. These are two partners who have genuine admiration and respect for each other, but they need to learn how to take turns in issuing commands and delivering orders...even when they are simply deciding which movie to see. Natives of both Signs can be impatient and proud. Leo individuals love to be adored and relish having their egos stroked. These are services that the easily-bored Aries may not always want to provide. Moreover, the Aries partner may be bothered by the flirtatious nature of Leo. Nonetheless, this relationship will never be anything less than exciting. Despite their sometimes noisy differences, Aries often looks to Leo as a guide or counselor and any divergences between this pair can be overcome. Both Aries and Leo are normally respected by others and it will be vital that such respect also exist within the confines of this relationship.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Leo is ruled by the Sun. This is a good combination. These two individuals understand each other because they are coming from the same place. Mars is associated with aggressive energy and the Sun is associated with self, so this is a highly compatible union which can make for a powerful team. Both Aries and Leo are governed by the element of Fire, resulting in an extremely heated and passionate relationship. When this union is good, then it is outstanding...but when it is bad, then it is all about loud arguments and bruised egos. In this combination, there will inevitably be an ongoing competition regarding who is in charge and since a love affair should not be concerned with power, this can easily become a problem. Both individuals here possess boundless energy so they will constantly be "on the go," and although they may often disagree, the differences of opinion rarely last long. Simply put, the Aries partner will be far too busy moving on to the next challenge to harbor a grudge. For this relationship to last, it will be important for Leo to remember not to be resentful if his or her Aries partner does not show enough respect. Aries is Cardinal in quality while Leo is Fixed. Thus, Aries can provide the Leo native with the assertiveness to charge ahead and take chances. In turn, Leo can help teach the Aries partner to stabilize and follow things through to completion. Aries may occasionally damage the feelings of Leo by saying something hurtful without thinking. Conversely, Aries may become irritated by Leo's bossy nature and the tendency to sulk. Still, this will be a loyal pair who care deeply for each other and when they reach an understanding that there does not always have to be a boss, this can be a blissful and exciting union. There is a mutual admiration here and with Aries as the initiator and Leo as the one who follows through, each has an integral niche within the partnership.

In essence, this combination can be a great match. The romantic interludes will be magnificent with little if any infidelity since each finds in the other what he or she needs. Leo natives like aggressive tendencies in others and aggression is part and parcel of the Aries character. Thus, this is something of an ideal union.

Aries and Virgo
The Virgo native is a thinking individual who lives more cerebrally than physically. The Aries native is an action packed go-getter who dislikes spending too much time standing in the same place...after all, there are worlds to be conquered. If this pair can develop mutual hobbies and habits, then there will be common ground on which to base a relationship but lacking this type of sharing would eventually make life unbearable for both partners. Indeed, this relationship could deteriorate to the point where, instead of listening to each other, both would be trapped in an endless round of putting down the other's suggestions and ideas for improving the situation. If this tendency is not recognized and checked early, there will be little chance of surviving the personality clashes and before long, there will be a parting of the ways with each partner branching off in a different direction. Virgo individuals are caring souls, willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others and Aries should not grow impatient with this trait since there is no other Sign of the Zodiac better equipped to take care of those in ill health as is the Virgo subject. In the romantic arena, Virgo will probably be too ready to please the Aries partner, going along with all of his or her suggestions. However, Aries may feel that Virgo should on occasion display his or her own incentive. If this does not happen, then the Aries partner is bound to become restless. The bossy Aries native is not likely to take Virgo's criticisms kindly, even if they are well intended. Indeed, any form of criticism is prone to undermine the Aries sense of discovery and throw him or her into depression. This match could succeed, but only if much effort is employed by both individuals.

Initially, these two may think they have nothing to learn from each other and development of the relationship will take time. In many ways, these individuals are total opposites. Aries is brash, dominant and aggressive, constantly jumping into new experiences and almost always impatient. Virgo is extremely detail-oriented, quiet and even shy, working patiently toward long-term goals. The energy associated with Aries is fiery and impetuous, while the energy associated with Virgo is far slower and more grounded. Still, it is these differences that can teach Aries and Virgo so much...if each will only look beneath the other's surface. Early in the relationship, these two may be able to see nothing but each other's faults. The Virgo partner will probably consider Aries too much of a daredevil be far too brash and the Aries partner will regard Virgo as way too fussy. However, if each focuses on the strengths of the other, the will discover a great deal. Aries can teach Virgo about fun and excitement...Virgo can teach Aries how to be patient and attend to details, coupled with the knowledge that little things...and moments...are also important. In addition, Aries can show Virgo how to take things less seriously and Virgo can instruct Aries on politeness and the value of hard work.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Virgo is ruled by the the planet Mercury. The Aries native wants to rush out and fight without wasting any time on preparation or strategy. Conversely, the Virgo native wants to analyze everything ahead of time and work out all the details before taking action. Such opposite approaches can result in strife and this pair must make a conscious effort to learn the other's methods rather than allowing the other's natural rhythm to create discord and distraction. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Virgo is governed by the element of Earth. Thus, where the Aries native will be driven by fiery impetuosity, the Virgo native will be grounded and practical. By nature, Virgo weighs all the options prior to devoting any serious effort, while Aries simply sees what he or she wants and immediately dives in the deep end. This is true in both career and personal relationships, which can prove to be something of a stumbling block. If the Aries native has decided that he or she wants a relationship with Virgo, frustration could reign for quite some time while the Virgo native makes up his or her mind regarding whether this will be a good idea. Aries is Cardinal in quality while Virgo is Mutable. Thus, the Virgo partner will harbor no desire to be leader or boss...he or she will be perfectly content to follow all of the suggestions made by Aries. On the other hand, the Aries partner will definitely want to make those suggestions...every time and all the time. This can be a beneficial dynamic if the pair are working as a team toward a common goal. In short, these two are very effective in a team situation, be it business or personal. The inherent characteristics of both, opposite in so many ways, can make for a highly complementary relationship.

In essence, this combination may prove to be a little difficult. Generally, Virgo is too fault-finding and precise for the Aries personality. Where the Virgo partner will be logical and analytical, the Aries partner will be impatient. This is a match that can succeed...and could well be dynamic...provided the two are prepared to work together, but it will be a constant challenge. Longevitiy can only be attained if Aries allows his or her Virgo partner to have sufficient space.

Aries and Libra
The attraction between natives of Aries and Libra is common, but not one that is necessarily long lasting. These are two very different characters with widely varying personalities. The Aries individual is a firm believer in equality of the sexes and equality in the romantic arena. Initially, he or she will be amused at Libra's attempt to dominate the relationshp, but when Aries comes to the realization that his or her Libra partner is deadly serious about this, conflict is sure to arise. Here, both partners will be impulsive and that could be one of the reasons for an initial attraction. Those governed by Libra are always willing and ready to help others, which the Aries subject scorns as being a gross waste of time...particularly if the Aries native believes the person in question capable of doing better if only he or she would employ a little more effort. In addition, the Aries partner is not above using Libra's inferiority complex to his or her own personal advantage. Those ruled by Aries may sadistically endeavor to keep Libra down, especially if there has been a loss of respect in the relationship. This state of affairs will not last long since the inherent Libra love of romance and tendency to wander will soon put the Aries partner in a combatant mood which, in turn, disgusts the harmony-loving Libra individual. This union is likely to be a shaky partnership at best.

Within the Zodiac Wheel, Aries and Libra are located directly opposite one another in polarity. Thus, each Sign possesses qualities that the other lacks. This, combined with Libra's natural desire for harmony, can result in a balanced relationship. However, Aries is associated with self while Libra is associated with partnerships...and that is not the only difference. Aries is impulsive, excitable and eager to engage in new and exciting ventures. Libra is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers an approach which is calm and smooth. Still, the Aries partner may learn from these Libra traits that his or her own way is not necessarily the best course of action. There is much physical attraction here...common to all Zodiac Signs that are opposite in polarity. In addition, the connection between these two is amazing when good and extremely challenging when bad. All polarities possess energies that are liable to tangle or knot if understandings cannot be reached. Nonetheless, the charming and cultured Libra partner can teach the brash Aries native something about style. Libra prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths in order to maintain tranquility. In return, the Aries partner will be very decisive and can teach the wavering Libra native how to rely on intuition for answers.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Libra is ruled by the the planet Venus. This usually results in a magnificent match. Mars and Venus combine splendidly as each is one side of the love relationship coin. Mars is associated with the passion of romance while Venus is associated with the beauty of romance. Thus, this is a wonderful combination. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Libra is governed by the element of Air. Air fuels Fire and helps it to grow and spread. Aries natives can have a very positive effect upon Libra's growth, ideas and progress. In addition, Aries will help the Libra native to put his or her ideas into action. However, working as a team may present challenges on occasion courtesy of the polarity of these two Signs. The impetuous and fast-paced approach to projects employed by Aries may conflict with Libra's more balanced and intellectual approach. Still, both individuals have wide-ranging interests and at the end of a long and active day, the Aries partner can come home and tell his or her interesting stories to the more cerebral Libra. Both Aries and Libra are Cardinal in quality. Hence, each partner here has much initiative, but is sadly lacking in follow-through abilities. They will tend to start things they are never going to finish...be it a job, project or relationship. The Aries partner will appear to be the leader because of his or her energy and forceful nature, but it is Libra who will lead from an intellectual standpoint. Both partners will want to be in charge, but Aries is liable to use force and, on occasion, intimidation to get what he or she desires, whereas Libra will employ charm and, on occasion, manipulation. Thus, compromise is essential to the health of this union. However, diplomatic Libra has a much easier time adapting to compromise that does his or her Aries partner, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person and views it as submission. Therefore, the Libra individual may have to give in more often to the wishes of Aries in order to maintain the peace that Libra natives cherish so dearly. The harmony resulting from a combination of Mars and Venus can bring balance between self and other...a wonderful learning experience for both Signs. Each is capable of bringing to the relationship what the other is missing and can make for a truly magnificent balance.

In essence, this combination may be a great match. The warm and passionate Libra will make a welcoming home for the fiery and impetuous Aries...particularly if both partners are on the same cultural and intellectual level. Aries will appreciate the passion and emotion of Libra, but too much of either could bring about destruction. In short, this union is all about balance and if this can be achieved, the relationship could go a very long way.

Aries and Scorpio
This is quite likely the most difficult pairing of the Zodiac in terms of achieving harmony. The ability of Aries to give way to others will be severely put to the test by the inherent Scorpio trait to assume control of every situation. Here, it would not be unusual for the Aries partner to do the exact opposite of what Scorpio desires in an attempt to simply be contentious. One of the major problems will be the unreasonable jealousy of the Scorpio native, which is a deep-rooted part of the Scorpio nature and cannot be changed. Thus, Aries may soon become highly claustrophobic if he or she is forced to follow the Scorpio partner's idea of nesting. Scorpio is of the opinion that the domestic environment is the place to be completely relaxed and isolated from the rest of the world. However, Aries is more interested in being involved in that world to the fullest extent. Therefore, the Aries partner will want to hold parties and have friends dropping in and out most of the time. Consequently, the Scorpio native will be driven to distraction. Generally, those governed by Scorpio mate for life...but this combination could be the exception. Scorpio subjects have certain ideals which their partners are expected to live up to. Any failure on the part of the Aries native to meet these ideals will cause Scorpio to push him or her totally out of the mind and heart. In essence, Scorpio is jealous, overly-demanding and expects total possession. The dominate and dominating nature of Aries will never stand for being dominated. In short, this is not a promising union.

While basking in the first bloom of this relationship, each partner will probably wonder how he or she ever managed apart from the other. These are two Signs who adore power and together, they can achieve almost anything, provided they learn how to share the spotlight. The Scorpio native is very focused by nature and once the sights have been set upon an Aries individual, that individual is most likely totally unable to offer any resistance. In addition, Scorpio will harbor a deeper and more complex devotion to the relationship than will the Aries native. This pair tends to engage in arguments that are both heavy and heated, their connection being highly passionate and often contentious because both have jealous tendencies. The Scorpio partner is liable to be more patient but is also more possessive and can lash out in a nasty fashion when his or her feelings get hurt. Still, despite the differences in emotional involvement, both love risk and enjoy taking chances. If nothing else, this union will never be boring. Aries and Scorpio can have many adventures in each other's company, although there will be difficulties with mutual understanding. Aries is a true extrovert...totally up-front and open, while Scorpio is more inward...emotional and often manipulative. It may be necessary for these two to call a truce in order to keeping the relationship running on a smooth track.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Scorpio is ruled by the the planet Pluto. It is likely that this pair will either end up being staunch allies or deadly enemies. Together, they will have an exciting time of it...both in a physical sense and otherwise...but squabbles will be normal in such a challenge-oriented couple. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Scorpio is governed by the element of Water. These two elements can be a magnificent blend, one that combines physical action and emotion in order to get things accomplished. Here, Scorpio will be the strategist, helping Aries to slow down and learn the art of planning battles before plunging in headfirst. Aries will teach Scorpio how to let go and move on when efforts have been thwarted. However, Water does have a tendency to dampen Fire and the Scorpio trait toward emotional manipulation will often have such an effect on Aries, virtually drowning much of the Aries enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire causes Water to evaporate and when under emotional stress, Scorpio can become exceedingly vindictive. Hence, it will be necessary for this pair to work together and not against each other. Aries is Cardinal in quality and Scorpio is Fixed in quality. Aries can teach Scorpio all about spontaneity...doing things simply for the experience rather than always having an agenda. Scorpio can help Aries to stabilize and finish things rather than constantly moving onto new projects without completing what is already on the table. If both can realize there is a good chance each will be loyal and devoted to each other, they can share leadership...Aries as the initiator and Scorpio as the emotional guide. Since both individuals are winners and refuse to give up, the power of their combined forces will be immense, making for a relationship that will never settle for second best.

In essence, this combination may not be a great match since there is no room for two heads of household and each native is marked by a very dominant temperament. Although Scorpio will appreciate Aries in a physically romantic sense, more mundane interests would constantly be at odds. Plus, Scorpio may become intimidated by the leadership qualities of Aries and this is sure to result in problems. Thus, even though a relationship is possible, it is not likely to come with much longevity.

Aries and Sagittarius
Both Aries and Sagittarius are energetic Signs that share a love of the outdoors, physical activity and doing a variety of things together. For this reason, there will probably be instance attraction that could achieve longevity...although the Aries native may doubt the ability of Sagittarius to make a success of any long term commitment. In turn, the Sagittarius native could believe that Aries is ideal, provided Aries is able to accept the inherent Sagittarius notion of freedom. Doubtless, the Sagittarius partner will feel that Aries should conquer the jealousy he or she might experience regarding what Sagittarius believes to be harmless flirtations. However, the Aries individual is of the strong opinion that his or her Sagittarius partner must be true in order to earn rightful respect and consideration. In later years, Sagittarius could come to appreciate the warmth and advantages of the domestic scene, but it would be dangerous to rely upon this since it may never happen. Regardless of age, those governed by Sagittarius are apt to gamble with life and relationships, which could keep any Aries partner in an irate mood most of the time. Still, life with Sagittarius will never be hum-drum but the question becomes whether the nerves of the Aries native can withstand so much chaos. Sagittarius persons are not faithful by nature and feel most comfortable when juggling several affairs at once. Nevertheless, these two Signs do share many of the same traits and a Sagittarius partner will find living with Aries an interesting proposition. One of the major dangers threatening this pairing is if the Aries native is set on raising a family since Sagittarius is anything but a family person. While there will be an abundance of love to go around, those ruled by Sagittarius rarely take time with children...at least nowhere near as much as will natives of Aries. Still, given the right circumstances, this could be a very good match.

These partners have much in common...similar energies and interests...and are basically highly compatible. Both are explorers and pioneers and this will be a rather torrid and exciting relationship, with each individual always ready for a new adventure. Aries and Sagittarius are Signs that crave personal life experiences and do not like wasting time in reading about them or listening to others recount their escapades. Care does need to be taken here though, since this could become an accident prone relationship with Aries constantly in a rush and Sagittarius liable to look at everything but the obvious. As much as these two have in common, however, it may be difficult to maintain the union when both parties possess so much energy to begin new things and not much interest in following through. This pair make great friends as well as sweethearts. They truly understand one another's optimistic view of life and problems are rare. Still, Sagittarius has the greater need for independence and Aries can be overly-possessive. In addition, Aries is a little more sensitive while the fun-loving and flirtatious Sagittarius is prone to putting foot in mouth by speaking without thinking. Luckily, both these Signs are able to forgive and quickly forget...neither having the time to spend holding a grudge.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Sagittarius is ruled by the the planet Jupiter. Both these planets are considered masculine in nature and thus, Aries and Sagittarius tend to look at the world in the same way. Given Jupiter's indulgent influence, Sagittarius likes to take risks. Mars is associated with initiative and the taking of action, which can be aggressive. Thus, when Aries voices a new and exciting idea, Sagittarius is always ready and willing to go along for the ride. Both Aries and Sagittarius are governed by the element of Fire...a combination that can produce an eternal flame. This pair will constantly be "on the go" and possess endless resources of energy. In short, it would be rare for one partner to fizzle out on the other. Aries is Cardinal in quality and Sagittarius is Mutable in quality. Thus, Aries will initiate new ideas and Sagittarious will be happy to comply...as long as he or she is are allowed to join in the fun. There is never a power struggle here related to who will be the leader. Aries likes to bask in all the glory and Sagittarius is perfectly content to control events behind the scenes. However, these are both Signs that are better at starting things than finishing them, which can result in trouble if one or both feel the relationship is growing stale. Fortunately, this is unlikely to occur. Aries does get easily bored, but Sagittarius will have the ability to keep life fast-paced and full of fun. This union is blessed with a mutual tendency toward a pioneering and exploring attitude and these two partners will be well matched in their enthusiasm, engergy and drive. Basically the common interests and similar personalities make for a very compatible match.

In essence, this combination is rather ideal. Both individuals are driven by impulse rather than logic and each can have outside interests without conflict or friction caused by the other. Therefore, these are unions that often result in a life long relationship.

Aries and Capricorn
Given that Capricorn is independent by nature and possesses an ambitious frame of mind very similar to that of Aries, it is possible that an Aries native...if in a rare practical mood...may well be caught up in something of a romantic rush over a Capricorn individual. In turn, Capricorn is certain to be attracted to the vitality and strength of character that is easily detected in the energetic Aries person. Plus, the warmth of Aries is sure to appeal greatly to those governed by Capricorn. However, the Aries partner will soon be in for a rude awakening when they realize that Capricorn is almost totally besotted by business matters and personal ambitions. Eventually, Aries will grow jealous of the time the Capricorn partner devotes to these other areas of life, since those ruled by Aries believe there is far more to living than constant involvement with work or club meetings, etc, and an Aries individual is not one to stifle such feelings or be timid about giving them voice. Essentially, Capricorn is a simple soul and Aries may be too overwhelming. An Aries individual takes risk and enjoys them, whereas the same risks will only make a Capricorn individual shudder at the thought. This could result in the eruption of very violent quarrels and in short, there are many personality differences here. One of the major being that Aries will dislike the pessimistic gloom that Capricorn uses to dampen the inherent Aries enthusiasm. Although not necessarily highly sexual, Capricorn is a good strong partner in the romantic arena and liable to become angry if any advances are met with what Capricorn considers to be flimsy excuses for non-participation. Under certain circumstances, this pair can accept each other's faults and build from there, but longevity of the relationship is doubtful. If these two desire a serious union, then each will need to work around the weaknesses of the other and concentrate only on the strengths, employing much effort in the maintaining of mutual energy.

Here, the approaches of each partner can seem almost opposite to one another. Aries is all about acting without bothering to consider where such action will be directed or what it might attain. Prior to taking any action, Capricorn is all about juding whether...or how much...personal benefit will be gained. Aries tends to move quickly and, in the eyes of the Capricorn partner, seems to risk everything in the process. Capricorn abhors unncessarily risk. Those ruled by Capricorn move at a much slower pace, working inexhaustibly toward well-defined goals...which are usually related to career or other forms of public advancement. Both partners will always get where they are going, but in different ways...and the ultimate goal or destination is also totally different most of the time. By nature, the Capricorn individual is rather quiet and unassuming, while the Aries person is much louder and good deal more flashy. Here, natives of both Signs are inherently stubborn and each will believe his or her way to be the best. In order to work together, they will have to agree to disagree. The philosophies are totally opposite since Aries will look for the shortcut, while Capricorn wants to follow the rules, assuming such to be a tried-and-true path to success. An individual governed by Aries will engaged in an impetuous and passionate pursuit of a potential partner, seldom stopping to consider whether the chosen one is really the right mate. On the other hand, an individual governed by Capricorn likes to analyze how much a potential partner will be able help him or her advance in life and such will usually be the basis of any decision regarding pursuit of the relationship. Still, if this pair can meet and get together, they can teach one another things that neither would probably learn on his or her own.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Capricorn is ruled by the the planet Saturn. Traditionally, these two planets are considered to work against each other...similar to how Aries and Capricon will struggle in order to find common ground. Nonetheless, Aries and Capricon can definitely help each other...particularly on a project. Saturn has strong powers of perseverance, but it will be the influence of Mars that provides the energy and drive to get things done. Basically, these two Signs might make for a better partnership in the workplace than in the area of romance. Since both Aries nor Capricorn are resolute by nature, neither will give up easily. However, if the mutual energies are not channeled in positive ways, then this could lead to infliction of cruelty...or even violence...on both sides and the potential for one or the other to repress emotions. In short, Aries must take care not to work against Capricorn and in turn, Capricorn must refrain from dampening the inherent fiery spirit of Aries. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Capricorn is governed by the element of Earth. Thus, while Aries is dynamic, Capricorn is more grounded and practical. Capricorn tends to ask what good something will do as he or she works toward the main plan in life. However, Aries simply sees what is desirable at any given moment and rushes headlong with no set plan in mind. Both Aries and Capricorn are Cardinal in quality. Hence, both will be initiators but have such widely varying goals and interests, they they work better when each has a specific and well-defined role. On the surface, Aries will be the leader...dashing around to get things going and knocking down any barriers in the way. Indirectly, Capricorn will be in charge...always working steadily toward a desired goal. Basically, it will be important for both partners here to understand that compromise is probably the only key to a successful union and each does bring rather unique qualities to the relationship. Once they can learn to allow each other to be themselves, they can blend well to make a whole. This is a challenging match, at best, but the effort to make it work could be worth it. As with any relationship based upon mutual love and respect, most obtacles can be overcome with sound communication and goodwill...and the Aries/Capricorn partnership is no exception.

In essence, this combination tends to be one that should be avoided if possible. Where Capricorn is usually very patient, laid back and easy going, Aries will be too impatient to cope with the slow and methodical plodding of the Capricorn partner. Eventually, an impasse is sure to occur and thus, put a definitive end to the union.

Aries and Aquarius
Basically, a person governed by Aquarius is intrigued by the weird, the unsual and the eccentric. Thus, he or she will be attracted to individuals who display these traits. Any potential Aries partner must therefore learn to cope with this curious mixture of friends and acquaintances who will be within the Aquarius circle. Since Aries prefers to associate with those who are successful and sophisticated, this may not work out very well and could drive the Aries partner to distraction. The exceptionally independent Aquarius soul refuses to be restrained from anything and will never quite allow the Aries partner to share in his or her private thoughts...and sometimes only barely into his or her private life. An Aries partner will perceive this as being secretive rather than independently private. Aries is second only to Aquarius in independence, but the world will know most of his or her innermost secrets due to the unique Aries trait of opening the mouth and inserting the foot. Such a habit is totally alien to natives of Aquarius. While the Aquarius person can be jealous and possessive of any partner, he or she rarely indulges in romantic interludes since there are far more other things to do and become engrossed with...in the opinion of Aquarius anyway. Thus, the Aquarius partner may not be a sexally active as Aries would like and eventually, the Aries partner may consider this to be selfish behavior. Basically, this is probably not a wise match for either side.

Nonetheless, this relationship will be anything but static and, given the vision associated with Aquarius and the action associated with Aries, can make for a highly creative pair...a match of two individuals who are competitive but seldom dull. Signs that are two apart on the Zodiac Wheel tend to have a special connection and this combination is no exception. This pair will be great friends who can communicate with each other extremely well. They will have a special understading of one another's idealistic and enthusiastic outlook on life. In addition, both partners here crave excitement and new experiences...the wilder and more strange those experiences, the better. Indeed, both are into thrills and showing off. The most solid Aries/Aquarius relationships are probably those built upon a foundation of mutual admiration. The Aries partner will love the uniqueness of the Aquarius character, particularly the inventive vision of the world. In turn, Aquarius will love the energy and initiative associated with Aries since Aquarius is prone to get new ideas all the time, but sometimes finds it difficult to carry them out. However, since both sides to prize independence, the Aries tendency toward possessiveness can push the Aquarius partner to become aloof or detached as a self-preservation tactic. Still, there is a special connection with this pairing and although each will perceive the world in a somewhat different light at times, if they come come to understanding on this, thing will work well. Aries can be too involved for Aquarius and Aquarius may be a little too unpredictable for Aries, but Aquarius is probably the only Zodiac Sign that outshines Aries in terms of spontaneity. Provided both partners reassure each other that the relationship is important and secure, there is a good possibility for longevity.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Aquarius is ruled by the the planet Uranus. Aquarius obtains its marvellously progressive vision from Uranus and also receives social conscience and philanthropy from Saturn (the ruling planet of Aquarius prior to the discovery of Uranus). Mars makes a wonderful addition to this mix, bringing passion and direct action to all the lofty thoughts and ideals of Aquarius. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Aquarius is governed by the element of Air. Air fuels Fire and helps it to spread. In a similar fashion, Aquarius can help Aries conjure up new schemes and then realize them. Aquarius stimulates Aries in an intellectual way...something most of the other Zodiac Signs fail to accomplish with an Aries individual. Since both Signs have wide-ranging interests, the mentally active Aquarius partner is certain to provide the physically active Aries native with plenty fuel for new adventures and crusades. Aries is Cardinal in quality and Aquarius is Fixed in quality. Hence, Aries furnishes Aquarius with the confidence to charge ahead rather than simply sitting in a laboratory concocting innovative and novel ideas. In turn, Aquarius helps Aries to stabilize and complete projects instead of leaping into new plans before completing old ones. There is much mutual respect and admiration here, which can go a long way to ironing out any obstacles in the relationship. Basically, there is potential for this pair to achieve much if they work together since Cardinal Fire and Fixed Air cover all the bases and this could become a union of vision and practice.

In essence, this combination represents something of a gamble. The unpredictable Aquarius partner is sure to affect the patience of Aries, while the instability of the Aries partner will surely provoke the goodwill of Aquarius. These are two very self-willed individuals and arguments are likely to result from the day they meet. By nature, Aquarius has the tendency to proscrastinate too much to please Aries but, with time and effort on both sides, this could prove to be a rather good match.

Aries and Pisces
Any relationship between Aries and Pisces could prove to be complex. A Pisces native who is tired or disillusioned will need the strength and comforting ability of an Aries partner but, just when the Aries partner becomes accustomed to such dependence, Pisces will pull an about face and suddenly become independent and free-spirited...albeit for only a short period of time. Still, the intuition associated with those governed by Pisces is remarkable and quite uncanny. Thus, Pisces will most likely remain attuned to the ideas and emotions of his or her Aries partner and adjust accordingly. There will be occasions when the Pisces partner withdraws into a secret and mystical realm while in the process of working out some problem. It will be necessary for the native of Aries to understand that this is a natural characteristic of Pisces. Indeed, such behavior may well have been an integral component of the initial attraction for the Aries individual. Since Aries is not bent on changing the world, when understanding of this trait is made plain, then he or she will be quite happy to give the Pisces partner room to meditate in peace. The Pisces native will probably allow Aries to make most of the decisions...unless Pisces finds his or her plans interfered with, and then he or she will simply ignore that decision. Characteristically, the Aries partner will spend a lifetime protecting, shielding and arguing on behalf of Pisces. Under such circumstances, the inherent Pisces intuition will not be evident...apparently, those governed by Pisces are never aware this is happening. Luckily, the Pisces partner will have no desire whatsoever to change the fiery Aries individual, who is often doting in his or her whirlwind ways, and this could make for an Aries partner who is so happy that the choice might be made to revolve his or her life entirely around the Pisces native. In a romantic sense, Pisces is sensitive and sexually adaptable, but totally unable to accept criticism in this area. Generally, both find romantic interludes to be fun times and the Pisces partner will be perfectly content to allow Aries to take the lead in this relationship.

Basically, this pair can be very good for one another. The Aries character is a strong one and its natives are almost totally prey to their impulses, which they follow without a moment's hesitation regarding the outcome or possible consequences. Pisces is dreamy by nature, quiet and more internally focused. Indeed, natives of Pisces are the Poets of the Zodiac. On the surface, an Aries/Pisces union may seem an unlikely proposition but when true love is a factor, each can fulfill the needs of the other rather nicely. Pisces is extremely intuitive...both as a person and as a mate...and the Aries partner must take care to return this favor in order to prevent Pisces from perceiving Aries as stingy and selfish. A leader with initiative to spare, when the Aries individual finds someone attractive, he or she launches into pursuit mode without a second thought...and when the pursued is as gentle as Pisces, Aries will assume the role of protector. Still, strangely enough, the Pisces partner will be the real protector...an intuitive and deeply understand mate who provides a relaxing refuge for the hective Aries native. However, those governed by Pisces are so giving and empathetic that they can sometimes become like doormats, giving themselves completely to their partners and if those partners are unable to reciprocate, then trouble may result. Still, the Pisces individual will understand Aries in a much deeper fashion than will most other Zodiac Signs, which may alleviate this problem somewhat. In addition, Pisces knows how to keep Aries from becoming overly rash and foolhardy. Together, they can form a dynamic team...given the combination of Aries directness and Pisces intuitive understanding of other people.

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and Pisces is ruled by the the planet Neptune. The dreamlife associated with Pisces natives is courtesy of Neptune, a planet representative of illusions. Into this dreamlife, Mars injects a healthy dose of passionate action, which aids in bringing the Pisces fantasies into reality. Courtesy of Jupiter (the ruling planet of Pisces prior to the discovery of Neptune), Pisces natives can help Aries to tone down the inherently overt style of operation. Aries is governed by the element of Fire while Pisces is governed by the element of Water. These are opposite elements that sometimes create trouble for each other...Fire makes Water evaporate and Water douses Fire. However, the can also combine to make for a wonderful team. Pisces will help Aries to relax a little and learn to listen to the feelings of others, while Aries will teach Pisces how to get out in the world and take the types of risks that can lead to magnificent results. This will be an effective lesson for Pisces, who most assuredly possesses the brain power to figure out which risks are feasible and which should best be left alone. The key to longevisity here probably lies in a simple negotiation to ensure that balance between the two is maintained. Aries is Cardinal in quality and Pisces is Mutable in quality. Unlike Aries, a Pisces native has no need to be a leader. He or she enjoys lending a helping hand when needed, but certainly harbors no desire to direct a project, which is a good thing since Aries needs that position on a personal level. Together, this pair can achieve a positive end to any undertaking and they truly have much to learn from each other. Pisces will show Aries how to empathize and care...Aries will teach Pisces how to make dreams happen rather than simply pondering about the possible outcome. In short, this can be a truly reciprocal union.

In essence, this combination does not necessarily represent a perfect match since both Signs are different by nature. Pisces is very sentimental and may find little comfort in the aggressive Aries character. In addition, Pisces is exceedingly romantic and prefers a delicate approach, which is in direct contrast to the Aries attitude. Still, if Aries is willing to take a trip into the clouds every once in a while, this is a workable relationship.

Ideal Partner

Natives of Aries are probably most in tune with those governed by Leo since both possess abundant courage and the ability to exercise much influence over others. Leo will also safely curb the Aries impulsiveness which might sometimes lead the Aries subject to make mistakes. For the Aries male, a partnership with an individual governed by Leo makes for an unbeatable romantic team. There is an incredible chemistry here and both will be physically drawn to the other. Each partner will adore being the center of attention, but this pair can have fun in learning to share the spotlight. The Aries male loves to charge ahead and explore and a Leo partner is always willing to be admired by new people in new places. There will be much mutual flattering and the constant trading of praise and compliments. This is a union where drama and excitement will reign supreme and the relationship will be fed by a flurry of activity and fun. Indeed, this combination is so powerfully potent that neither partner will want to waste a single minute on down time. Instead, each will inspire the other to take new risks...snowboarding or extreme sports, for example. For the Aries female, a partnership with an individual governed by Leo will be one of drama and excitement. Both are confident, outgoing and love to charge ahead into the unknown. The romantic chemisty is fiery and can achieve longevity. Indeed, a Leo individual is capable of sweeping the Aries female off her feet and she will adore the romantic and generous nature associated with this Sign. In addition, the Leo partner will love the sense of adventure and intelligent mind of the Aries woman. What will truly seal the bond here is Leo's hidden vulnerability, which is certain to bring out the caring side of a female ruled by Aries. This is a union of abundant energy. Leo individuals crave adventure, drama and excitement...and partners who know what they want. All this can be found in the Aries female. Leo is sure to ask for loyalty and massive displays of love, but the good news is that Leo natives will never ask for anything that they are not willing to give back in spades.

Sagittarius, another Sign ruled by the element of Fire, would also be favorable, but there could easily be many ups and downs...disputes and disagreements...in a long term relationship. Still, Sagittarius does possess the amibition and optimism that Aries appreciates in a partner. For the Aries male, a partnership with an individual governed by Sagittarius often leads to a true and lasting union. Here, both are intelligent and creative thinkers who adore each other's ideas and thoughts. There will also be excellent conversations together. In addition, both inidivuals share an enjoyment of variety and experience wonderful times going to new places and meeting new people. The Aries male finds a Sagittarius partner to be charming and funny, while the Sagittarius partner will adore the Aries man's hilarious sense of humor. Here, there is much physical chemistry and the relationship will be an exciting one. Males governed by Aries make willing partners for the Sagittarius person's level of energy and enthusiasm. However, an Aries man may possess a degree of self-rapture that could eventually grate on the nerves of a Sagittarius partner. For the Aries female, a relationship with an individual governed by Sagittarius usually results in a pair who are adventurous with an open and creative attitude to life. Basically, these two are completely in tune. The Aries woman satisfies the needs of Sagittarius to laugh...natives of Sagittarius possess a magnificent sense of humor...and being intelligent souls, both partners will engage in interesting and challenging conversations. Still, those ruled by Sagittarius are known to be completely and utterly honest, not usually considering the feelings of others before they speak their minds and this can sometimes be a difficult pill for the Aries female to swallow. Nevertheless, this is basically a union of fun.
