Expert Interview} Leo and Aries are both fire signs and combined, they have a lot of passion and ambition. This will be a high-achieving couple who can indulge each other’s need for both physical and mental stimulation.

1
Libra. Between Aries and Libra, opposites most definitely attract. These two can form an unshakeable bond, as Libra is smart, social, and independent—everything Aries likes in a partner. Similarly, Libra will enjoy Aries’ expressive and bold nature, as well as Aries’ ability to be decisive since Libra can struggle with decision-making.
- Aries could end up being a little too hot-headed and impulsive for Libra, who always strives for peace and balance in their life. If these two can communicate honestly with one another, they can avoid hurt feelings or miscommunications.
2
Aries. A double-Aries pair will appreciate each other’s best qualities, but there can be too much of a good thing! Aries is bold, direct, flirtatious, and independent—and because a fellow Aries would reflect those same traits, they’ll be immediately drawn to one another.^{[5]

Expert Interview}
- However, Aries also tend to have a temper and be self-centered at times, so two Aries could soon get annoyed with each other. They’ll need to accept one another, the good and the bad, to have a satisfying relationship.
3
Taurus. This is a complicated relationship, but it can be a happy one! Physical intimacy between these signs will be passionate and gratifying. Plus, these signs can balance one another out; Taurus can be a stable, relatable partner for Aries, and Aries can bring the fun and spontaneity that Taurus didn’t know they were missing.
- However, their different paces may prove incompatible in the long run. Aries is a go-getter in every part of their life, while Taurus prefers to move slow—and stubborn Taurus can’t be rushed into anything!
- Aries and Taurus are at their best when they’re patient with each other and listen thoughtfully to one another’s needs.
4
Scorpio. Aries and Scorpio share intense, passionate personalities, but they’ll need to do some work before they can enjoy a stable relationship. Aries wants the spotlight, while Scorpio craves solitude. Secretive Scorpio tends to be taken aback by Aries’ direct attitude, while Scorpio’s paranoia and possessive nature confuse an independent, flirtatious Aries.^{[6]

- Scorpio will be impressed by Aries’ obvious strength and aggression, but Aries will have to adapt to Scorpio’s need for privacy for this couple to succeed.

1
Pisces. Pisces and Aries may be able to balance one another out in some areas, but they’ll also hit some roadblocks—especially when it comes to intimacy. Pisces craves intense emotional connection, while Aries is all about having fun and enjoying the physical connection. Their emotions may not match up; Pisces longs for warmth and sensitivity in a relationship that Aries can’t always give.
- These signs will need to speak up about their expectations and desires and actively build trust to thrive. If they can be empathetic and accept their differences, they could find happiness together.
- Aries is also a particularly social sign, which can be frustrating to the more emotional and committed Pisces. The Pisces may not appreciate the Aries’ desire to talk to and form connections with others.
- Reader Poll: We asked 816 wikiHow readers who are Pisces, and only 4% said their biggest deal breaker is their partner being less social than them. [Take Poll]
2
Virgo. These two signs don’t have much in common. Virgo likes their life neat, organized, and totally planned, so Aries’s messy and spontaneous energy may throw Virgo for a loop! Virgo is steady and patient, in direct contrast with the hot-headed Aries, and Aries needs independence in a way that Virgo might struggle to understand.
- If Virgo can take some lessons in flexibility and give Aries their freedom, while Aries learns to bring a little stability into their chaotic life, they might just find themselves in a healthy, well-balanced relationship.
3
Cancer. Cancer and Aries are worlds apart in terms of their emotional expression. Cancer is sensitive and craves an emotional connection with their partner before anything else, which Aries may struggle to provide. In turn, Aries may prove too aggressive and independent for the gentle Cancer, who longs for safety and stability at the end of the day.
- Cancer is generally considered one of the least-compatible matches for Aries, but they can improve the match if they both learn how to communicate effectively with one another.
4
Capricorn. Capricorn and Aries can struggle with communication and intimacy. They share an ambitious streak, but Capricorn might disregard Aries because of their impulsive ideas, which could provoke Aries’ hot temper. Furthermore, Aries’ daring nature can unnerve a careful and analytical Capricorn, resulting in a lack of understanding between the two signs.
- Both Aries and Capricorn are incredibly stubborn. To have a successful relationship, they may need to be more flexible and adaptable to one another’s personal and emotional styles.

Be adventurous and independent. Aries wants their relationship to feel like the adventure of a lifetime. They’ll be most attracted to a partner who loves exploring and trying new things, like travel or outdoor competitive sports. If you’re more of a homebody, work on expanding your list of hobbies and compromise on how you spend quality time with your Aries.
- Aries doesn’t need to be attached to their partner at the hip, so you don’t have to do every outdoorsy thing that they do. Just show interest in a couple of activities and let Aries handle the rest.
Aries is always direct and honest about their feelings, and they appreciate that same transparency in their partners. If you’re generally private or cautious about expressing yourself, work on being more open little by little and telling Aries exactly how you feel. Aries will be smitten with someone who can share their approach to communication, and you’ll find it easier to build trust together.

Expert Answer

Offer a challenge to the Aries in your life! They like to feel challenged and want a partner who's stronger than them. For example, an Aries would be disappointed if you said "I love you" first in the relationship.
