Aries compatibility with every zodiac sign

How to read Aries compatibility

The twelve signs split the circle into thirty-degree slices, and the arc 0°-30°, the first of the wheel, belongs to Aries. The angle toward each of the eleven other arcs is a classic aspect, the same one astrologers measure between Mars and the rest of the sky. A shared element - here fire - gives the 120° trine, the softest angle: Leo and Sagittarius. A shared cardinal cross with different elements gives the 90° square, the angle of friction: Cancer and Capricorn. The 60° sextile comes from the friendly element: Gemini and Aquarius. And a single 180° opposition, Libra, straight across. These are degrees, and no omens.

And plainly: the angle gives a couple's climate, a verdict it does not give, and this sign's fire changes nothing there. In astrology there are no bad matches, only hard ones, and the square with Cancer is one of them: that is often where the liveliest interest holds. The opposition to Libra pulls and clashes at once, and plenty of couples last years on exactly that axis. The angle tells you where the effort will be, and toward Libra it will be plain. Who you live with is yours to decide.

Aries with each sign

Aries · Taurus

Adjustment match semisextile

Aries arrives at a sprint and Taurus at a stroll, so the first thing you two negotiate is speed. Fire wants it decided today, earth wants to be sure before moving an inch. What holds you is real - Aries brings the spark that keeps Taurus from settling, and Taurus offers the steady ground Aries secretly craves. Patience is the whole lesson.

Aries · Gemini

Warm match sextile

Gemini hands Aries a stream of fresh ideas to chase, and Aries lights a match under all that talk - fire and air in an easy sextile. Follow-through is the catch, since the Ram charges ahead while Gemini circles back to reconsider. Curiosity keeps them close, because neither one leaves the other bored.

Aries · Cancer

Hard but fertile square

Aries charges at what it wants while Cancer feels its way in slowly, and the gap shows fast - blunt heat lands hard on a guarded, tender heart. Both like to steer, so the pull over who leads is real. Yet the ram makes a fierce protector, and Cancer gives that restless fire a warm place to come home to. Cancer compatibility with all →

Aries · Leo

Easy match trine

Two fires warming the same hearth - this one runs hot and easy. Aries loves the chase and Leo loves the show, so together you burn bright, generous, and never bored. The friction is pride: two people who both want to lead and both want the spotlight. Trade the crown back and forth and the warmth lasts. Leo compatibility with all →

Aries · Virgo

Adjustment match quincunx

These two run on different clocks - Aries leaps while Virgo checks the ground twice before moving. The quincunx asks each to stretch, since Aries can read Virgo's caution as cold and Virgo can find Aries careless and rushed. What steadies them is the exchange - Aries warms Virgo loose, and Virgo gives that fire somewhere solid to land. Virgo compatibility with all →

Aries · Libra

Polar match opposition

Across the zodiac from each other, these two pull hard - Aries acts on the first impulse, Libra weighs every side, and each envies what the other has. Air feeds fire, so the spark is easy and the talk lively. The work is in the middle - Aries learning to consider, Libra learning to choose, before impatience meets indecision. Libra compatibility with all →

Aries · Scorpio

Adjustment match quincunx

Passion is the easy part here - both of you feel everything at full volume. The strain is where it points: Aries burns in the open and forgets fast, Scorpio burns underground and remembers everything. Fire wants freedom, water wants the vow. You'll keep adjusting to each other's depth, and that effort is exactly what makes it work. Scorpio compatibility with all →

Aries · Sagittarius

Easy match trine

Two fires in an easy trine - warmth, movement, and a shared hunger for whatever comes next. Both prize freedom and blunt honesty, so neither one smothers the other, though the heat can flare when two headstrong flames want to lead at once. Genuine delight holds them, and they keep each other laughing and moving. Sagittarius compatibility with all →

Aries · Capricorn

Hard but fertile square

Speed is the whole argument here - Aries sprints on instinct while Capricorn builds slow and solid, playing a long game the ram has no patience for. Both mean to lead, so wills lock. What they share is drive - give it a common goal and Aries brings the fire, Capricorn the staying power, each covering what the other lacks. Capricorn compatibility with all →

Aries · Aquarius

Warm match sextile

This has the buzz of a friendship with something extra. Aries brings the heat and the dare, Aquarius brings ideas and cool independence, and fire and air spur each other on without smothering. Watch the standoff of wills - Aries wants to lead, Aquarius bows to no one. Give each other room and it stays alive. Aquarius compatibility with all →

Aries · Pisces

Adjustment match semisextile

Bold fire beside tender water - Aries moves in straight lines while Pisces flows and feels its way. The semisextile asks for care, since Aries' bluntness can bruise Pisces' softness and Pisces' haze can lose the straightforward Ram. When Aries learns to shield rather than push, Pisces answers that fire with real gentleness. Pisces compatibility with all →
