I want a lover with an easy touch, I want somebody who will spend some time not come and go in a heated rush.
This is a match that I’m really excited about. As an astrologer, you see this cosmic combination a lot in real life, because these two signs are excellent companions and highly compatible in many ways. This is one of the top-of-the-charts astrology combinations and has an 85% chance of success.
In Aries and Libra, we have two Cardinal signs. What does this mean? They are both signs that take life by the scruff of the neck and live it. They have a high degree of executive power and ambition. These are signs that get things done and are not content with second best. They are movers and shakers, and together they are a couple that share an enthusiasm for life.
Aries, a fire sign, is naturally compatible with Libra being an air sign. The air element provides oxygen to fuel the adrenaline of Aries, and Aries also enjoys the intellectual and reasonable approach that Libra brings to situations. Libra loves teamwork, and they are a sign who are naturally able to see both sides to a story and are good at compromising. That’s why they get on well with Aries, as they can bring some moderation to the rougher edges of the Aries diamond.
Astrologically, these signs are directly opposite each other, and so there’s a balancing act going on. They both have complementary energies, personalities, and traits which together provide a very holistic approach to life.
Although Venus, Libra’s ruler is in its detriment in Aries indicating greater challenges and growth for the Libra, it’s still a compelling chemical attraction and they are mostly likely soulmates.
Romantic compatibility
The key elements Aries needs to feel drawn into romance are warmth, visual stimulation, and someone who has a creative energy. What Libra has is a very congenial, friendly, sociable attitude, which is immediately reassuring to Aries. Libra also tend to have style, class, and manners, and for Aries these are very, very important, because Aries are somewhat traditional in romance. Aries like classic romance and, as I say, good manners.
In terms of Libra, understand that they can sometimes be slightly lazy, passive, and too cooperative or conciliatory, and so they love the leadership and firepower that Aries provide. Libra are also somewhat of an indecisive sign, so it’s quite a turn-on to be with someone who is fearless and courageous i.e. an Aries who just jumps in the deep end. Libra are very turned on by the masculine energy of Aries.
In Libra, we have a Venus-ruled sign. Aries is ruled by Mars. These two come together in a passionate romantic whirlwind. There’s a good balance of feminine and masculine energies, and they feed off each other’s personalities to create an experience which is both sensual, visually exciting, and also quite rewarding. Together, they are often affectionate and may enjoy doing physically stimulating activities like dancing together, exercising together, hosting cocktail parties, and other sensual experiences which fuel romance.
Sexual compatibility
This relationship is slightly more romantic than it is sexual. The sexual arena is one that has its moments of being glorious, but also its phases where each feels slightly underwhelmed. Aries often require something more dramatic, fiery, and almost confrontational to get the adrenaline going and to really enjoy the sexual experience, whereas Libra prefers something that is more mellow, laid-back, and soothing.
So Aries’ desire for excitement versus Libra’s desire to be soothed, relaxed, and peaceful during a tantric sexual experience can mean that they are turned on by slightly different things. It’s important for both of them to accommodate each other’s wishes and sometimes to compromise, so that both get a little bit of what they want.
It’s also vital that each is more honest in exploring their sexual nature and not just going along to get along. If they’re honest about what they really want and what really turns them on, then sexually, it can be successful.
Friendship
For Aries, it’s important to have a partner who is a team player—someone who steps up to the plate, pulls up their socks, and fulfills their side of the bargain in relationships. Libra have a very similar attitude, and this is why the friendship factor is one that keeps the relationship very strong, and there’s a powerful focus of intent.
Where this friendship works well is that both of them have the desire to get on, to achieve, and to not only accomplish things but tackle goals in a timely manner. Aries is better at making decisions and being purposeful, so Aries are great at setting up the store, whereas Libra are able to iron out the rough edges and deal with some of the damage that gets done along the way.
So if you think of this in terms of the kitchen, Aries is happy to break eggs to make an omelette, and Libra knows how to clean and tidy up the eggshells. Sometimes in this relationship there are moments of crises, but together they are able to navigate them and easily find solutions.
Their friendship is strong because they respect and admire each other, and because each takes responsibility for themselves and are not likely to become too needy or overly reliant on the other. Both have a strong sense of who they are and understand their own natures, and they bring to the table a lot of personal strength and stoicism.
Marriage and long-term potential
There’s great potential for these two astrology signs to have a fulfilling, long-term partnership. They are a couple who are good friends, comrades, and allies. Aries have a protective instinct; Libra are both loving and very good organizers. To be successful in a marriage, there has to be a high level of pragmatism, and what this couple have in their favor is, at the end of the day, they will do what’s right for the marriage. They’ll put emotional matters and drama behind them to focus on solutions.
This is a solutions-driven couple, who are also keen to use all tools at their disposal. What’s also terrific about this couple is they are likely to create a prosperous relationship and to have many good friends around them, who in times of crisis will rally to their aid. They are a popular couple who are focused not only on the relationship but on the world around them and on always being positive about the next step forward.
The level of positivity is high. The level of cooperation is strong. They appreciate each other’s traits and are able to show each other love without an excessive amount of neediness.
Strengths and challenges
Teamwork, cooperation, and a balancing of assertiveness with diplomacy help this relationship succeed.
There is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Venus and Mars are sexually and romantically attracted to each other and have a desire for a long-term relationship.
Both can be fairly old-fashioned and conventional in love, so it’s very likely that this couple are in it for the long haul, and invested in a stable relationship as a key facet of their life.
Sexually, what they want to feel fulfilled and what they enjoy can be very different. So the sexual arena requires compromise and communication, so that there isn’t a situation where one just goes along to please the other and feels unfulfilled.
This couple both need to recognize that the relationship functions best when each has a defined role and when they have numerous friendships outside of the relationship. This couple both need careers, and it may not work if one of them is a stay-at-home parent.
One drawback is that sometimes Libra can be very conflict-avoiding and may become passive-aggressive, refusing to clearly communicate problems because they would rather maintain harmony at all costs. This can be very destructive, because Aries needs to hear things straight. So clear communication and quick problem-solving are very important for this relationship. Problems left to fester, or which are brushed under the carpet, are very toxic.
Final verdict
I have a great deal of optimism about this relationship, it has an 85% chance of being successful. Key elements here are a strong foundation of friendship, romantic compatibility, shared enthusiasm for life, and a productive attitude. Communication tends to be strong, and as long as they can be more mindful and sexually aware, things in this relationship are always on the up.
The key factor to be aware of in this relationship is laziness and complacency. All relationships require work and constant honesty. Any form of avoidance of the issues is truly poison for this relationship. These two star signs thrive when they keep on top of things, and that means constantly acknowledging both the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship, as well as the threats and opportunities, and acting to capitalize on the opportunities and strengths while working hard to improve areas of weakness.
Laziness in tackling weak areas of the relationship, or brushing things under the carpet, is of course the biggest challenge that I have to issue a warning about. Otherwise—go for it.
First decan Aries with first decan Libra are the best match. Third decan Aries and third decan Libra may only end up as friends.
As always, there are other key factors in the horoscope relationship chart. For example, synastry between the respective Moon and Ascendant signs, which are based on the day, time, and place of birth, will have a bearing on the relationship outcome. The interaction between their Venus and Mars will tell us a lot more about sexual compatibility and attraction.
