Aries and Libra compatibility
Straight across the wheel: I want, and we want.
Aries: March 21 – April 19. Libra: September 23 – October 22.
Are Aries and Libra a good match?
Tradition calls it a magnetic match and a demanding one. It works when you stop arguing about which end of the rope is the right one.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You are the two ends of the same question, which is how to be a self and be with someone. Aries brings the courage to want something plainly, Libra brings the grace to make room for another person, and the pull between you can be startling.
The hard part
Aries decides alone and Libra feels left out of it. Libra weighs everything and Aries feels stalled. Each of you can come to believe the other is the reason you cannot have your own life.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit straight across the wheel from each other, the angle astrologers call an opposition. You move through the world the same way, from opposite ends of one question. This is the strongest pull on the wheel, and also the strongest tug of war.
Air feeds fire. One of you brings the spark and the other brings the breath, and together you tend to feel more alive than you do apart.
You are both starters. Each of you expects to set the direction, so the question in this house is who leads, and when.
What each of you is really asking
Aries is asking: Will you still want me when I stop running at you? Aries brings nerve and fears being slowed down until the fire goes out.
Libra is asking: Will you still be here if I stop keeping the peace? Libra brings grace and fears being the cause of the rupture.
The desire under the question
Aries is secretly asking how to need someone. Libra is secretly asking how to want something without permission. You each hold the other's answer.
