Are Aries and Pisces a good match?

It is rarely the easy match, and often the educating one. It holds when each of you stops treating the other as a correction.

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 sit side by side at the wheel's turning point. Pisces softens something in Aries that nobody else has found, and Aries gives Pisces the courage to want something in daylight.

The hard part

Aries is direct and Pisces slips away from directness. Aries can trample without noticing, and Pisces can go quiet without explaining, so each feels abandoned by a different road.

How your signs sit on the wheel

You sit side by side on the wheel, with no element and no way of moving in common. Older astrology calls this a thirty-degree relationship and says little good about it. In practice, each neighbor holds what the other has just left behind or has not yet reached.

Fire and water make steam. One of you acts on a feeling while the other is still inside it, and each can feel the other is either too much or not enough.

One of you sets the course and the other finds the way around what is in it. This works when the one who adapts is also asked what they want.

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.

Pisces is asking: If I dissolve into this, will you hold the shape of me? Pisces brings tenderness without conditions and fears being too much, and then too little.

The desire under the question

Aries wants to be gently forgiven for being so much. Pisces wants to be rescued, and has not yet asked whether that is the same as being loved.

Finish this line, privately

I want ___ ; I accept ___ ; I will not surrender ___ .

Fill it in about this person. Whatever you write first is usually the truth.

Both of your dates

Two signs are only the first line.

Bring both birth dates and I'll set your signs side by side, free. If you want to stay a little longer, the Lovers' Ledger opens both charts, the pull between you, and the conversation you keep not having. One reading, $14.
