Compatible Signs Aries

Who is Aries?

Aries is actually the leader of the zodiac, and therefore has a tendency to lead in all things. People of this sign can even be considered a bit head strong, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Strong leadership is a wonderful characteristic as long as it is tempered with wisdom and compassion; fortunately both are qualities we find in the Aries makeup.

Aries personalities are also magnetic, drawing people of all signs to them in droves. Some will eventually be repelled by the Ram, while others will settle in for the long run. Let's take a look at the zodiac signs that stand the best chance of achieving successful relationships with Aries, whether those relationships are platonic, romantic, familial or career-oriented.

Compatible Signs Aries Should Consider

It's always nice when bonds form spontaneously, but it doesn't hurt to hedge your bet by seeking out your most compatible signs as companions.

Sagittarius

The Archer is one of the most compatible signs Aries should consider when searching out relationships that will bear fruit. Sagittarians share a certain love of freedom with Aries that will help the two of them conquer new territory together.

Leo

Lovable Leo is the center of attention and typically the life of the party. These two signs share a gregarious nature that helps them walk life's path in sync. They may vie occasionally to see which one leads the way, but all things considered, they share a great capacity for compatibility.

Aquarius

Aquarius' need for personal space dovetails nicely with Aries' love of freedom. This doesn't mean that the Ram and the Water Bearer can't forge a deep bond; in fact, quite the opposite. Their mutual respect for one another's needs and space leaves room for both to grow on their own and together.

Gemini

The Twins are known for their adaptability, a trait that easily follows Aries' need to lead their closest companions down new paths. Geminis are also celebrated for their personal charm and intellect, traits the discerning Ram is also capable of fully appreciating.

Fellow Aries

Ram to Ram relationships also stand a great chance of success, but this hinges on one crucial fact: how well the Ram likes his or her own self. Aries will see many of their own strongest qualities reflected in other Aries. Generally speaking, if you're comfortable in your own skin, and you're willing to let the other person take the lead sometimes, an Aries to Aries combination is equally yoked and capable of traveling great distances together.

Aries and Libra: Opposites Can Attract

That old saying that opposites attract is certainly true. We're often entranced by our polar opposites, and while the novelty of this kind of relationship can bring us together for a time, it can be difficult to bond in the long term. What seems refreshing in the beginning can wear thin and grate on our nerves as time goes on. This is true for relationships between Aries and its zodiac opposite Libra.

In general, Libras seek balance in their lives, and tend to ignore life's harsher realities by putting their focus on the positive. While these are admirable traits, Aries tend to face life head on in all its facets. Some Aries will find Libra's rosy outlook charming, while others will eventually find it exasperating.

Libras also love an orderly home life. Aries love of freedom and need for change can leave Libra feeling less than secure.

Can this pairing work in the real world? Perhaps, but it will take a lot of work and compromise to sustain it at a level that contents both signs.

Least Chance for Compatibility

Some pairings don't stand a good chance of working out.

Capricorn

Caps tend to be solid as a rock, so in most cases they won't appreciate Aries' capacity for head on collisions, no matter how convincing the Ram can be in arguing for his/her position.

Cancer

Cancers are known for running the gamut of emotions; sometimes thoughtful, sometimes downright hysterical. Aries is typically too straightforward to deal with this type of emotional see-saw for very long, making it difficult for this pairing to maintain a connection.

The Bigger Picture

Although certain sun signs are naturally more in step with the Aries character, that doesn't mean Aries can't forge successful relationships with the rest of the zodiac. In fact, each of us shares characteristics from other signs based on, among other factors, the positions of the sun and moon at our birth. If you're willing to search for common ground, as well as tolerate personal differences, you can get along with virtually anyone. Wouldn't the world be a great place if we all tried?
