Aries Compatibility

ARIES AND TAURUS

Both are highly sensual, but Aries may be annoyed by the deliberate pace and unimaginative lovemaking of Taurus. Taurus is a homebody, while Aries is definitely not. Aries is impulsive, and looks for new experiences and freedom. Taurus is possessive and jealous, set in its ways, and views Aries's need to be an individual as a rejection. Taurus is good at making money but Aries is even better at spending it. The long haul can be hard going, though if they hang on long enough Aries will come to appreciate Taurus's steadiness and dependability.

ARIES AND GEMINI

They won't bore each other because both love to talk. (It's a close contest, but Gemini will probably win.) And they share a special compatibility, for Gemini is as restless and anxious to try new things as Aries is. There are no inhibitions on either side. Gemini is clever enough to counter Aries's need to dominate. Gemini may seek extra stimulation, but is discreet about it. Both minds mesh well; Aries is dynamic and intelligent, Gemini is versatile and ingenious. Aries is likely to be the leader sexually, and Gemini delights in thinking up variations to keep Aries's interest at a peak. The signals are definitely go.

ARIES AND CANCER

These two are fascinated with each other at the beginning, but sexual attraction fades in the face of many temperamental differences. Aries leaps without looking; Cancer is cautious. Cancer loves hearth and home; Aries hates being tied down. Resentments build up and they argue over trifles. Aries has a sharp tongue that wounds vulnerable Cancer. The more aggressive Aries is, the more defensive Cancer becomes. There's too little compatibility to work with. When Cancer starts to nag, Aries looks for the way out.

ARIES AND LEO

Both have got egos to burn and both like to lead. Aggressive Aries wouldn't dream of taking second place, and kingly Leo needs constant admiration. Usually they can work it out by having Leo play the emperor and Aries play the general. The trick is for neither to take the other all that seriously. It's a fine combustible sexual match, for both are fiery and romantic. Aries is optimistic and open to fife; Leo is generous and good-hearted. If neither tries to deflate the other-and if they can find room to compromise about who dominates whom-this should be a happy mating.

ARIES AND VIRGO

Aries's boldness should intrigue shy, reserved Virgo for a time. But they have totally different ideas about what should happen in the bedroom-and elsewhere. Aries's passions are impulsive and direct. Virgo's sexuality is more enigmatic and takes time to be revealed. In other areas Aries is full of exciting new plans and ideas, and insists on being boss. Virgo is critical and fussy, and likes things to be done the way Virgo wants. Virgo disapproves of Aries's extravagance; Aries thinks Virgo cold and carping. They end up making war, not love.

ARIES AND LIBRA

There is a powerful initial attraction between these two opposites, for in certain areas each supplies what the other lacks. For one, Aries's aggressiveness arouses Libra's sensual potential. Their love life may be unconventional. However, Libra really wants peace, quiet, and harmony -while Aries wants action and adventure. Both like social fife, entertaining, and pleasure, but both are restless in different ways. In time Libra will look for someone less demanding, and Aries will bind someone more adoring. Marvelous affair; poor marriage.

ARIES AND SCORPIO

Love can be a bonfire between these two. They're both physical, energetic, and passionate. Sexually, everything should be fine-it's the emotional side of the relationship they can't handle. Each has a forceful personality and wants to control the other. In the end, Scorpio's jealousy may prove the undoing. Aries's many outside interests make Scorpio feel insecure and that brings out Scorpio's tyrannical streak. Aries won't take orders and Scorpio will never take a back seat. This is an unstable partnership with a low ignition point.

ARIES AND SAGITARIUS

Sagittarius is a perfect temperamental match for Aries. They are both active, spontaneous people who like socializing, have extravagant tastes in common, and enjoy the good life. There may be a little conflict because both are impulsive and brutally frank. Arguments can reach the boiling point. Aries's forceful sexual approach is not always playful Sagittarius's style. However, they have wonderful senses of humor and enjoy each other's company. If they make it in the bedroom, they'll make it everywhere else.

ARIES AND CAPRICORN

Aries's taste for innovation and experiment may not please conservative Capricorn. Aries is restless, fiery, impulsive; Capricorn is ordered, settled, practical. Capricorn needs to dominate and so does Aries. Problems also crop up over money-Aries is extravagant, Capricorn is security-minded. Aries's responsive sexual nature meets its match in Capncorn's deep-seated passions. And Capricorn's strength and endurance will in time win Aries's respect.

ARIES AND AQUARIUS

They're well suited temperamentally -both are active, ambitious, enjoy a wide range of interests, and are equally eager for sexual adventure. Depending on whim, Aquarius may or may not let Aries take the lead. Both are independent-Aquarius even more than Aries and Aries may at times feel neglected. Aries finds the Aquarian unpredictability exciting, but also never feels entirely secure. However, with a bit of tact and understanding on both sides, this is a great affair that could turn into something even better.

ARIES AND PISCES

Aries will draw Pisces out of that shell, and in turn will be hypnotized by Pisces's seductive and mysterious sexuality. The boldness and confidence of Aries plus Pisces's intuitions and fantasies add up to an eventful union. Personality differences complement each other. Aries is self-assured and vivacious; Pisces is somewhat shy and easily led. Aries likes to be dominant, Pisces likes having someone to lean on. For a happy coupling this requires only a little more tact on Aries's part.
