Aries Compatibility

While astrology is much deeper than Sun signs alone, there are general traits that each sign possesses that make them more or less likely to get along with each other. And in honor of Aries season, we’ve gone through the compatibility of Aries energy with each of the 12 signs.

Aries energy, at its best, gets the ball rolling. It’s the lighting of the match, the rocket launch, the big red emergency button.

It’s quick, confident, and unafraid to pursue things that others wouldn’t dare attempt. In fact, Aries energy desires paving the path so that everyone else can follow behind them. They’re born leaders and know how to get a party started (just don’t expect them to be there all night…they have other places to be).

Often early birds, these people want to squeeze the most they can out of life. They don’t always succeed at finishing their projects— but they’re great in the ideas phase and bringing things to life.

Read on to learn all about Aries compatibility, whether romantic, familial, or platonic.

Aries and Aries

Aries with its own sign has truly met its match. Is there a hotter pair? They definitely won’t think so! Likely to hit it off instantaneously, trouble could arise when deciding who gets to be in charge. For best results, these two need to take turns playing the leader. This connection is also more likely to be quick versus long standing.

Aries and Taurus

Aries is ruled by Mars and Taurus is ruled by Venus, so there’s a real mix of the masculine and the feminine with this pair. Seemingly very different people, they can get along if they play to each other’s strengths. Taurus can teach Aries how to stick around for the things they really care about.

Aries and Gemini

Aries and Gemini make a charming pair likely to get off on debates and poking fun at one another. They both excel at moving quickly and could make fast friends or lovers…or friends that become lovers! Aries can help Gemini bring all their flighty thoughts into action.

Aries and Cancer

Aries has a reputation for being childlike, and Cancerians are known as the ultimate mother archetype. If their reputations precede them…this pair might end up in a parent/child dynamic without realizing it. Aries can learn from Cancer’s nurturing ways, and teach their lunar love that it’s ok to leave the past behind.

Aries and Leo

Aries and Leo are both fire signs— so these two are likely to find common ground quickly. They both like to do things their own way, though, and assume leadership positions without thinking twice. Aries can learn from Leo’s ability to stick with creative projects…but there will need to be compromises to avoid unnecessary drama.

Aries and Virgo

Aries doesn’t usually take the time to plan things out thoroughly, preferring to operate on instinct…and Virgo can be the opposite. These two have a lot to learn from each other! Aries can benefit from Virgo’s discerning eye and knack for spotting the details that slip through the cracks.

Aries and Libra

Aries is the exact opposite of Libra in the zodiacal wheel, and that can be good news or bad! Opposites can definitely attract, but it might be harder for them to meet in the middle than other pairings. However, Aries will be attracted to Libra’s sweetness and Libra will love Aries’ bravado. This is a fairytale pairing.

Aries and Scorpio

Aries is a fire sign and Scorpio is a water sign…but these two are ruled by the same planet: MARS! That means they’re both ready for action, but they attack things in very different ways. If Aries can focus on Scorpio’s ability to focus, rather than being annoyed at their requirement for privacy, these two can make a lot happen together.

Aries and Sagittarius

Aries knows how to have a good time and Sagittarius is often the life of the party! These are also two fire signs, which recognize each other as being cut from similar cloth. Sagittarius pushes Aries to try unfamiliar things, and Aries appreciates the adventure. These two make a great match.

Aries and Capricorn

Aries is rarely described as serious, and Capricorn is the ultimate rule follower. These two energies don’t see eye to eye naturally, but can benefit from each other in specific ways. Aries can teach traditional Capricorn how to chase a wild hair, and Capricorn will (at least attempt) to instill patience in Aries. They’re both born leaders and could accomplish a lot with give and take.

Aries and Aquarius

Aries is drawn to people that do their own thing…and that's all Aquarius is concerned about doing! While the Aquarian might mystify straight-forward Aries with their kooky ways, they’re likely both amused by the other. Aries should allow Aquarius to teach them things rather than get defensive about not already knowing it! This is a fun pair that could facilitate progressive action.

Aries and Pisces

Aries knows how to start things and Pisces knows how to finish them! Signs that are beside each other on the zodiacal wheel can’t see each other easily…but they have a lot to pass back and forth. These are both passionate signs in their own ways and Aries will appreciate Pisces empathy towards their latest endeavor.
