Aries is the daredevil, independence-loving, all-or-nothing, love-hard-or-die-trying sign of the zodiac.
Finding the perfect match for this zodiac sign means finding someone who can match their intensity and also balance it with some tender love and care.
When it comes to love and astrology, we talk about Venus and Mars. Venus is the planet of beauty, love and what we find valuable in other people.
Mars is the planet of energy, action and sexual attraction.
Aries Matches: Who to Date and Who to Dump
So pull out your and your loved one’s birth chart and compare and contrast the compatibility of your Venus and Mars signs to see if it’s a match made in Heaven or if you’re better off swiping left.
Aries and Aries
This couple is probably best as friends because while the passion is certainly there, the romantic connection will likely burn out quickly if there isn’t something more solid to ground the two.
Aries is the type who falls in love or lust with just one look, but just as easily falls for someone else the next day. So while the sexual tension will always be there, these two need something deeper if they want to keep each other’s attention.
Aries and Taurus
Aries is the type who immediately romanticizes falling in love and then jumps on the back of his lover’s motorcycle and rides off into the sunset, but that’s not exactly how Taurus sees it.
Taurus can fall hard, but they desire more comfort and long-term commitment than a typical Aries can give. With their vastly different approaches to love, this combo will find it quite a struggle to maintain a love bond.
Aries and Gemini
This is a match made in Heaven, because one thing is certain: you will never be bored with each other. Gemini is a sign that loves mental stimulation and can get bored more easily than other signs, especially in love! With Aries’ wild whims and passionate love of adventure, these two are sure to embark on a journey towards love and lifelong friendship.
Aries and Cancer
This is a difficult duo to work with for a long time, but sparks fly immediately! Both Aries and Cancer thrive on the sensation of love, and with the right amount of tension between these two cardinal signs, they are sure to feel that love with each other. If Cancer can manage to give Aries their freedom and if Aries can open up to Cancer’s deep, nurturing love, perhaps these two could turn this spark into an eternal flame.
Aries and Leo
These two are best as flirty friends. Both Leo and Aries are fire signs, so they bring passion and excitement – through flirty pranks and wild nights out on the town – that isn’t often paired with other signs.
With their fiery compatibility, it can be difficult to go from friends to friends with benefits because they don’t want to lose something good by pushing it too far, but in the end they will always have each other’s backs in life.
Aries and Virgo
Now swipe left on this combo! With Virgo’s deep need to plan, perfect, and do everything right, Aries is likely to feel oppressed.
Virgo always knows which places are the best places and what is the fastest and most efficient way to get there, but Aries is more of a ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ type, which will lead to more arguments than even an Aries is willing to deal with.
A friendship could work, but it takes serious cooperation to keep it healthy on both sides.
Aries and Libra
Aries finds Bonnie with their Clyde in this combo (no seriously, Bonnie was a Libra Sun and Clyde was an Aries Sun). These two signs are exactly opposite each other on the zodiac wheel, meaning they are sister signs.
Sister signs share common goals and morals, but the way they pursue what they want in life is often very different.
So these two zodiac signs both have their sights on human connection, Aries wants something intense but leaves room for independence, while Libra wants to devote himself to his partner.
So this is a match that could be a dream come true or it could go up in big, beautiful flames.
Aries and Scorpio
This is heartbreak waiting to happen. Both Aries and Scorpio are ruled by Mars, the planet of energy, drive, passion and war, so you would think that would make them a match made in Heaven, but most of the time it will feel more like hell. While Aries is bold and impulsive, Scorpio is calculated and introspective.
So there may be some enigmatic attraction towards each other, but they are almost guaranteed to be the cause of a few more battle scars.
Aries and Sagittarius
As two fire signs, this pair is an awkward bunch, always finding themselves on their next big adventure and having a bad story to tell afterwards.
Neither Aries nor Sagittarius is a sign that is comfortable in a long-term commitment, so they will be good friends because of their similar values.
And if Aries wants something longer-term, Sagittarius is more than willing to accept their need for freedom in the relationship, which will be a dream come true for both of them.
Aries and Capricorn
If there’s one thing these two will enjoy together romantically, it’s their time in the bedroom. In their personal lives, they may constantly clash and disagree with each other’s approach to life, but this tension can lead to serious sexual sparks flying.
Both Aries and Capricorn like to be in control, so when it comes to making love, they will have a hard time finding a better match, but the romantic atmosphere will most likely end once they are both fully dressed.
Aries and Aquarius
This combination makes for great friends, anything other than that might be hard to find. Both Aries and Aquarius pride themselves on their independence and individuality, so working towards a partnership may be out of the question for these two lone wolves, but their shared ideals are sure to create a lasting bond of friendship.
Aries and Pisces
This is one of the most unlikely combinations in the zodiac, but sometimes it works like magic! Pisces have a more intuitive nature and often feel the emotions of others in a deeply spiritual way, which is very different from the classic Aries archetype, but sometimes opposites attract.
Pisces can give Aries a worldview that they may lack with other partners, and both signs tend to value deep feelings of love, so if they can work through their differences, this can in fact be a long-lasting loving relationship.
