These interpretations are based on solar energies only when one of the partners has a Sun in Aries, a Fire sign, and they give an idea of the probable compatibilities with the other solar signs of the zodiac.
They have been written with a “love” perspective but their purpose can also be applied in the field of friendship, or relational in general.
For more precision, it is advisable to nuance them by a more thorough study, a true comparison of topics that we call a Synastry or at least a Study of rapprochement. It will obviously also be necessary to take into account its ruler planet, Mars, as it is a little more complicated than just throwing the astro dice… 🙂

Aries Love Compatibility
Here are 2 strong characters, dynamic, bright and independent, with always very intense feelings, so much so that it promises some sparks… It will be difficult to reconcile individualism and the need for freedom of both, neither of them wanting to be locked up or dominated in any way, each one trying to pull the cover on their side.
Yet this does create a common base, and the 2 temperaments put side by side can be a real driving force capable of moving mountains, an efficient, productive, friendly, energetic, enterprising duo.
If both are capable of making certain concessions (on their freedom, on their impulsiveness) and accept that the other can sometimes give orders, decide for them, or question their autonomy and authority, then the couple has a future (provided of course that it is not always the same one who makes concessions with one-way respect for the other).
All the difficulty will be to establish trust and to spare the 2 susceptible egos, it will be necessary to find the right balance in the constant “confrontation” of the characters.
ARIES-Taurus : fire/earth (Venus)
A seemingly unlikely alliance of impulsiveness and slowness. One is vibrant, the other one calmer, thoughtful, cautious and pragmatic. Aries will quickly become really exasperated and impatient in front of the Taurus’s peace and quiet, sometimes bordering on passivity.
But opposites attract each other, and after all, the two can also find a certain complementarity : Taurus can bring stability, endurance, poise and organisation, more structured and strategic ideas as well, while Aries will push them to get out of their routine and even out of the too homely routine, they will bring their daily dynamism, their drive to always undertake something new. Then Taurus, even if it takes longer to start up, can also become explosive and even powerfully angry, this eruptive side can attract Aries.
The difficulty for this couple will be to find the right rhythm for the duo, even if it means alternating the pace; not too fast for one and not too slowly for the other. How fast can they go then ? It will be necessary to adapt according to the periods…
ARIES-Gemini : fire/air (Mercury)
Gemini can here bring their vivacity, their volatility, their “oxygen” to the Aries “Fire” ! Both have a wandering and independent soul, both have a natural optimism resolutely turned towards the future, both are sometimes real electric batteries “mounted on springs”…
You share a facility to quickly move on, to quickly skip what you don’t like, and sometimes even what you do like ! You’ll probably appreciate to find this in your partner.
So, you won’t get bored, but will you manage to build something solid ? Will you be able to structure and plan things in the long term ? Who will want to stick to all the tasks and daily routines that need to be put in place in a couple ?
In everyday life, Gemini will be more mental and sociable, more in communication and flexibility, while Aries will be wilder, will tend to directly walk straight into a situation without bothering with a lot of tact and precautions, without always thinking carefully about the consequences too, with abrupt and even a little rough, even violent ways… It is actually their main differences that can drive them apart. But as long as Gemini has a little fire and Aries has a little air, their mutual points of view can be positively enriched, and if there is a pinch of earth in both of them there can be sustainability.
ARIES-Cancer : fire/water (Moon)
Aries are very independent, individualistic too, they have a visceral need for freedom. And cancer are very fusional, very protective, very “tribal”, very emotional and empathetic, compassionate, they may suffocating him quickly. Aries will want to act impulsively “right now”, while the cancer will be more focused on inner feelings and analysis…
But the two can also feed each other in symbiosis, Aries will like the importance given to them by Cancer, it will flatter their ego and imprint a form of dominance in the couple and in the family, they will also be able to find a form of stability that they will appreciate if the rest of their birth chart fits in. And Cancer will have found a magnificent support of Projection for various violent repressed feelings, which they will be able to live vicariously; they will also be able to discover and learn a form of independence and strength that they did not know.
Will the sentimental, emotional, sensitive, and mutual belonging needs of cancer be satisfied ? The indifferent Aries will probably lead him a hard life on these sides, cancer is likely to feel helpless and abandoned (one of their greatest fears). But if other elements of the configuration are favorable (Moon, Venus, Neptune, Houses, Ascendant…) why not ?
You have in common a proud and independent character, you are dynamic, creative, extroverted and often very “self-centered”. However, Leos have a much more developed social sense, with, at the extreme, demagogic and theatrical tendencies that push them to interact with others, to seek social affirmation but by consensus, at least above all by the admiration of others and the “voluntary” approval of the world, they are very attached to appearances and to the reactions it provokes, whereas aries are more whole and seeks to dominate and assert themselves by force without really caring whether they are loved or not, without trying to preserve appearances in any way, they want to dominate…
Leos have possessive and jealous tendencies, and aries will find it difficult to be “the other’s thing”, to share that deep sense of belonging. For their part, aries will always want to have the last word, without giving up an inch of space, without compromise, which will make the leo roar…
The confrontation of these 2 personalities can bring real harmony within the couple; it will be necessary to make sure to respect the territory of each one and to make the most of the relationship on the positive side of dynamism, rather than on the confrontation side, which is likely to be endless.
ARIES-Virgo : fire/earth (Mercury)
Virgo has a sharp, cold, direct critical sense, which will greatly please aries, at least as long as the criticisms are not directly addressed to them ! Maybe then it will be a different story…
On the other hand, the daredevil side of aries who takes inconsiderate risks without always taking the time to reflect will cool Virgo down a lot.
Virgos especially like to plan and organize themselves, they have many rituals during the day that allow them to fight against their tendencies to inner tension and anxiety : foresight, organization, and meticulousness serve to alleviate their natural anxiety, and the impulsive will-o’-the-wisp side of aries may cause them to panic.
Aries are in action, virgo in internalization, which is the combination of impatience and patience.
Aries are individualistic and at times even associable, virgo are not, strictly speaking, very sociable, but they have a helpful nature, for them the sense of service, of social utility and devotion is important.
This couple will obviously require some breaking-in, but the 2 independent characters can be in harmony, if however aries does not try to exploit virgo, and virgo adapts to his unpredictability… which won’t be easy !
ARIES-Libra : fire/air (Venus)
Libra is the embodiment of poise, of right action; Aries are excessive, not always well thought out and organized. When aries will pass in force, libras will seek first consensus, negotiation, and are followers of the maxim : “A good agreement is better for all than a bad confrontation”. Also the natives libra are sociable, they like to share their opinion and to convince by words and ideas, to defend their concepts, and they also likes to listen to the opinion of others, to debate it, so much that they can hesitate a long time on the turn to give to certain subjects, so much they make real efforts to try to put themselves in the place of the other to better understand them, their history, their behavior…
Here we touch on the exact opposite point of the dominating aries that want to impose themselves, with a very clear-cut opinion on the question, even extreme : when it is white, it is not black, and not even grey. You can say whatever you want, but the point of view of society in general and of others is indifferent to them, but in some respects they are very egocentric.
This is a very big difference in temperament to be reconciled, libra will find aries rude and often disrespectful, aries will blame them for their constant indecision, their good manners and their exacerbated sensitivity to others, which they will assimilate to weakness.
If the 2 birth charts are very marked by these only signs, the cohabitation will be complicated. It will require in the absolute a little bit of air and/or water in the aries birth chart, and fire in the libra’s chart.
ARIES-Scorpio : fire/water (Pluto)
This couple is a prototype of an internal combustion engine. It works by compulsions and by successive crises, and you like that, you blossom in confrontation. You share common values on the Planets Mars and Pluto’s rules, so much so that the duo will be dynamic, strong and above all very passionate. You have the same values of excessiveness, of up to the extreme, a clear propensity to extremes, to powerfully affirm your convictions, even to aggressiveness and violence.
Aries will be optimistic, positive, voluntary and enterprising, warm-blooded, very direct, turned towards the future; on the other hand, the scorpio will be much darker, cold-blooded, negative, dark, mysterious and secret, with an intuitive mind, with a thirst for absolute, and turned towards the past, extremely resentful.
You will find a complementarity in the relationship that will frequently produce electric storms, beware of the scorpio’s sensitivity, they will need a permanent power of feelings, and the independent and individualistic side of aries might could be quickly overwhelmed. Aries will not always understand the scorpio’s enigmatic behavior…
Sexuality will be a powerful driving force for the couple, with aries bringing their passion, spontaneity and novelty, and scorpio dominating with their sensuality, magnetism and charismatic charm.
It’s obviously a relationship that will be based on intensity, with a frenetic rhythm on the fast lane, the risk of a violent road exit is always omnipresent…
ARIES-Sagittarius : fire (Jupiter)
You share values of optimism, positivity and extroversion, a very rustic adventurous side without much tact, an attraction for creation, enterprise and novelty, a very playful side too…
Your 2 dynamics that feed off each other can create a positive emulsion, you have a feeling of complementarity.
In reality the fundamental differences will be mainly at the level of sociability : aries are independent and individualistic, sagittarius also have a strong independence and a very sharp sense of freedom, but they have a sympathetic, communicative, friendly, tolerant, benevolent side, with a sense of community, social, religious and mystical even, that the materialistic aries will have a hard time keeping up with…
Sagittarians easily handles ideals and abstract concepts, they have a “refined” intelligence which can lead them to be interested in the “high spheres”. Aries are very attached to personal development almost exclusively, and does not always make the connection between themselves and the rest of the world, between their personality and spirituality.
But the 2 characters will cherish their freedom and wide open spaces, this can be a powerful cement. If sagittarius have some values of earth and aries have some values of water or air, the symbiosis can be perfect.
ARIES-Capricorn : fire/earth (Saturn)
You have a same ambition, a same taste for success and self-assertion. The essential difference is in the means used to achieve all this.
Capricorn are hard-working, organized, strategic, prudent, patient, with a great self-control, a sense of economy, and even have a taste for restrictions and sacrifices necessary to reach goals, that does not scare them. They have a know-how and will meticulously implement it with stability and perseverance until their qualities impose themselves and pay off.
Aries, tend to do the opposite ! They are sure and confident from the beginning, they know their value and does not even ask themselves the question of making others accept it, they will impose it anyway by force. Caution ? What’s the point ? Don’t they say that luck smiles on the bold and that good fortune comes to the one who tempts it ? They will improvise on a case-by-case basis, throw themselves into battle, and they will triumph.
Aries will also be an original and iconoclast where capricorn will be moralizing, traditionalist. For aries, social norms and society in general are a straitjacket that restricts their freedom and prevents the expression of their individuality, whereas for the capricorn, all these norms and rules are not only necessary to structure life, but they take responsibility, respect them, and even add to them ! Consequently, aries will be at ease in an individualistic configuration, whereas capricorn will seek a collective and hierarchical social order where they can fit in and be at ease (army, big corporation, administration, etc).
Aries may feel excessively inhibited by capricorn, by their rigor and coldness, even if it can bring them appreciable capacities of organization and strategy. On the other hand, capricorn will be able to find in them a dynamism and optimism, a “fire”, which they often lack. If the emulsion manages to take between the two, it is a formidable alliance, at least in the social context.
ARIES-Aquarius : fire/air (Uranus)
Originality, a fierce desire for independence, dynamism, optimism, are qualities that you both have in common.
Aquarius like to be surprised by their partner, they like novelty, they hate to get bogged down in a daily routine, read in the other as in an open book… and with aries, it will be served on these sides so much the one is sometimes mounted on springs.
Aries will like the autonomy and the frank emancipation of aquarius, their lightness, they will admire their free electron side, their direct side and the fact that, just like them, they do not always worry about the consequences of their actions, they act first and foremost.
On the other hand aries may sometimes have difficulty following the exuberance and fantasies of aquarians, the latter can indeed sometimes be very idealistic, spiritual, enlightened, elusive, unpredictable, versatile… even for aries ! (that is to say)
Aquarius loves great philosophical and artistic ideals, they have a highly developed sense of the collective and of society’s necessity; they are sociable, like teamwork, putting ideas together and working on them, in fact it is even this “mixture” that gives them the rich creativity that they display and allow them to assert themselves socially, they perceives in a visceral way the interest of their active participation in society.
Aries will not have such a social ease and will only see the interest of their personal development.
In fact the main challenge for this couple will be to find a reason to unite and above all to remain united, but if the two find a complementarity, that each individuality manages to remain intact and to blossom within the “whole” that this union will form, it is possible !
ARIES-Pisces : fire/water (Neptune)
Here are two personalities who are psychologically very different from each other. Pisces have an innate sensibility and intuition that will leave aries dubious and that they even risks assimilating to weakness (something they hate). Aries are impulsive and direct, even sometimes boorish, where pisces will be more complicated and subtle, mysterious. Pisces does not like confrontation and the use of force, they judge it as a statement of weakness and failure, whereas it is often among the aries first means of expression.
Pisces ideal are self-denial, self-sacrifice in the name of ideals that they consider superior, for their relatives, for others, and aries will find it difficult to understand the fundamental purpose of this extreme devotion.
But it can also create an incredible combination : aries can find a soothing warrior’s rest with the pisces, they will appreciate their solicitude and gentleness which will produce a real contrast with their usual rough world… Pisces on the other hand will appreciate this exact opposite of them which will allow them by Projection to express their anger and their repressed violence, aries will show the audacity and the strength that they refrains from expressing and they will admire this frankness and this strength of character.
If such a balance can be found, aries’ egocentrism on the one hand, and the quest for the absolute and universality of pisces on the other, can constitute a true complementarity of opposites. Beware however of the extreme sensitivity of pPisces, it will probably take a good amount of water in the aries chart to compensate…
