Aries Love Compatibility
The Aries Woman
If you fall in love with an Aries woman, you’ll never lack for excitement. But are you the kind of man who can handle a full-blooded independent, forceful female? Because that’s what Aries woman is.
This passionate, intense creature can’t give a tepid response. She’s a fully stocked fireplace, with logs, kindling, and paper, waiting for the touch of a match to set her on fire.
What Aries woman wants, she gets. When a man meets an irresistible force like her, he tends to become a highly movable object. Indeed, when she is first attracted to a man she throws herself into the enthralling game of seeing how fast she can capture him. For her, one of the peak experiences of an affair is the beginning of the stalk. She’s fascinated by challenge. The more aloof you are, the more she wants you; her goal is to make you her love slave.
A love affair with her is not easy. She wants freedom and total togetherness and ecstasy all at once. She has an enormous need for love and gets more than her share, but no man becomes her lord and master. She meets a man on equal terms. If he offers loyalty, she repays him in kind. If he is untrustworthy, she also repays him in kind. Basically, in her relations with men she is domineering. You can either accept it or leave. If you stay, you’ve made the first concession on a long road. At the end, you’re likely to find you’ve been molded and shaped to fit her image of what her lover should be.
In love she will be faithful, but she expects total fidelity in return. Her jealousy is rooted in possessiveness. She doesn’t want a lover who has too many other interests. She wants all of him—or nothing at all.
There is an important distinction to make about her jealousy that may be useful in helping to understand her fundamental character. She isn’t jealous because of a feeling of insecurity (the root cause of most jealousy), but because she has to be number one. She’ll become a towering inferno if her man so much as thinks about two timing her.
The Aries woman finds happiness in a long-term relationship. She enjoys sharing everything with a lover, and is a giver of and partaker in pleasure. She is a highly affectionate and demonstrative lover who exudes sexuality and magnetism. Every sex encounter (even with the same lover) takes on the drama of a conquest. She will also be your staunchest ally, fight side by side with you, believe in you, encourage you. She’s a marvelous companion for a man on the way up or fighting to stay at the top because she’ll give him all the strength and determination she has. She’s definitely ambitious.
When she does not feel she is loved she can become shrill and demanding. Above all, she won’t tolerate being ignored or neglected. The straight road to perdition is a relationship with an unhappy Aries woman.
She wants to be understood and appreciated for her unique qualities. If you handle her with tact and give her the admiration she needs, this vivacious, active, mischievous, sensual, fascinating woman will do anything you ask.
The Aries Man
It would be superfluous to say he has fiery emotions because he has practically no other kind. He’s always in search of something that will satisfy his pioneering, ever aggressive lust for adventure. He moves within a self created aura of excitement and somehow things happen wherever he is.
He won’t be easy to resist. Think it over before you say even a tentative no. Where else will you find a lover as adventurous, original, virile, and vital? A woman who is attracted to an Aries male should be willing to settle for a brilliant, exciting—and generally short—affair. Romantically, he dotes on challenge and novelty. To him, the world is a garden of feminine flowers and he can’t afford to miss the scent of a single lovely bloom.
There are so many delights to sample before winter comes. He is always eager for a new experience. At first, that’s all a woman represents to him.
However, there is a vulnerable side to this man. He believes in the Eternal Woman, a romanticized version of the beautiful goddess whom he will sweep off her feet. He doesn’t understand deviousness in a relationship, and if a woman appears innocent and yielding he won’t look further. If he discovers that he has been duped and taken advantage of, his bewilderment and hurt quickly turn to anger.
Aries acts out sexual fantasies. The minute he finds himself daydreaming about a sexual situation, he sets to work trying to make it a reality. And something about his blunt, direct approach, “the battering ram,” gets results where more subtle means might fail. He leaves no doubt of his intention from the first, but comes at you directly. His manner is forceful, aggressive, and winning. He is used to winning. On your first date you’ll learn that you cannot take the lead. He will tell you where you’re going and when; you can simply relax and leave it all in his capable hands.
How To Attract An Aries
Don’t be timid. Faint heart never won Aries, male or female. Let Aries people know how much you admire them right at the beginning. Aries people will never think you brash if you are paying them a compliment. They feel they deserve it. Be a bit careful, though, about laying it on too thick. They can always spot insincerity.
Aries people think of themselves as intellectuals, so don’t appeal to them purely on a physical plane. They will enjoy a lively discussion of theater, music, politics, or even more esoteric subjects such as history, art, or philosophy.
A good suggestion for a date early in the relationship is a sporting event. (With Aries, it can never be more than a suggestion.) They are enthusiastic sports fans. If you don’t know much about the game you’re watching, let them explain it to you. They’ll do so in a way that will make it interesting and exciting.
Before an important date, take a nice long nap. Aries is no clock-watcher, and the fun may go on and on into the wee hours. Aries people pick up steam while everyone else is running out of gas.
By all means, bring your problems to Aries. There is nothing they like better than to be asked for advice. They are generous with their time, counsel, money, and sympathy. And there’s an additional advantage. No Aries is in doubt as to what should be done in any given situation. You’ll get a forthright, black-and-white, no-quibbles-or-evasions answer.
Important: Never try to dictate to an Aries. They don’t know how to take orders. If you want to put an idea into his or her head, do it so that Aries thinks the idea originated there.
Aries’ Compatibility
ARIES & ARIES: This can be a passionate affair, but neither is content with an inferior role. The Aries female tends to dominate (generally because domineering females have to try harder to get their way than domineering males). However, there will be fierce competition to be number one. Eventually, the flareups and heavy cannonading take their toll in the bedroom, and what starts out so promisingly ends in disharmony. The prognosis is a little better if each has outside interests and/or a career separate from the other. When their energies are diverted into other areas, conflict between the two becomes a bit more playful and less destructive.
ARIES & 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 & 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 eager 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 outside stimulation, but is discreet about it. Their 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 & 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 & 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 life; 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 & 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 & 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 life, entertaining, and pleasure, but both are restless in different ways. In time Libra will look for someone less demanding, and Aries will find someone more adoring. Marvelous affair; poor marriage.
ARIES & 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 backseat. This is an unstable partnership with a low ignition point.
ARIES & SAGITTARIUS: 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 & CAPRICORN: Aries’s taste for innovation and experimentation 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. Oddly enough, the auguries are better for the long haul than the short. Aries’s responsive sexual nature meets its match in Capricorn’s deep-seated passions. And Capricorn’s strength and endurance will in time win Aries’s respect.
ARIES & 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 & 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.
