Aries: Zodiac Sign Profile and Compatibility With Every Sign

It is hard to build a personal life on ambition alone, and the clash of the independent characters of two energetic Aries adds instability and "explosiveness" to this union.

In their life together, conflicts, confrontations and a struggle for leadership of the family are usually frequent.

On the other hand, Aries partners have strong sexual compatibility, and there is always more than enough passion in their relationship.

Because of the partners' emotionality, this vivid, hot union usually struggles to last.

Their relationship can last a long time only if Aries stocks up on patience.

Taurus's signature style is to move toward a goal slowly but surely, and over time she has every chance of getting from him everything she ever dreamed of.

The ambitious Aries woman wants to provide her husband with a secure base in marriage and helping him build his career.

But Gemini usually needs neither!

A Gemini man who has found himself in a profession is a rare stroke of luck, and only such a union is acceptable enough to the Aries woman.

Even then, though, too much may dissatisfy her: Gemini has no intention of reporting to her on where he has been and what he has done.

As he sees it, family should not limit his freedom, and the Aries woman is unhappy with that.

For this reason, emotional confrontations are frequent in their home, and if the partners fail to find a compromise, their life together may end in a stormy breakup.

Usually, in either case, Aries cannot resist "educating" Cancer, which on the one hand often offends him, but on the other gives his life vitality.

Beside an ambitious Aries woman, Cancer really can achieve far more in life than without her, and he intuitively senses this.

And although she is no ideal homemaker and is capable of pressuring him in many ways (a great drawback in Cancer's eyes), her will and enthusiasm often make him capable of feats he never even dreamed of.

The longevity of this union depends mainly on the Aries woman.

It is easier for Cancer to adapt to her assertiveness than for her to come to terms with his slowness, caution and indifference toward his own career.

At first she hopes Cancer will shed these flaws, but later they are capable of causing a rift in their relationship.

Much unites them: both hate routine and a dull life, and both crave recognition and fame.

In company this couple can truly shine, and at work they infect those around them with their inspiration and enthusiasm.

In life together they give each other many unforgettable passionate moments, but their confrontations are no less passionate and stormy.

Though the proud Aries woman has no intention of adjusting to the possessive Leo in everything, in marriage she is nonetheless willing, however reluctantly, to cede leadership of the family to Leo (which for him is a non-negotiable condition).

In return, Leo fully matches her ideal of a strong man, and so, even despite their war of ambitions, overall they suit each other well.
