When Aries and Libra come together in a love affair, the
inherent polarity of the Zodiac is invoked. Aries and Libra are
directly
opposite one another in the Zodiac -- 180 degrees apart. Each Sign
possesses qualities that the other lacks; combined with Libra's
natural
yen for harmony, this can be a relationship that enjoys great balance.
Aries is the Sign of Self while Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and
the differences continue: Aries is impulsive, excitable and ready to
jump right into something new and exciting, while Libra is indecisive,
peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. Aries can learn from
Libra that their own way isn't necessarily the best way.
These
two Signs share the great sexual attraction common to all Signs
opposite
in polarity. At the same time, though this pair's connection is
amazing
when it's good, it can be extremely challenging when it's bad. All
polarities have energies that tend to tangle or knot if understandings
can't be reached. As a combination, Aries and Libra are well-balanced.
Charming, cultured Libra can teach brash Aries something about style.
Libra prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths to
maintain it. Aries is very decisive and can teach indecisive Libra
about
relying on intuition for answers.
Aries is ruled by the Planet
Mars and Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. This is a great match, as
these are the Planets of Passion and Love, respectively. Venus and Mars
go well together as they're the two sides of the love relationship
coin. They're universally recognized as male and female and this
relationship is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Venus
is about the beauty of romance while Mars is about the passion of
romance. What a good combination!
Aries is a Fire Sign and Libra
is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and helps it grow and spread. Aries can
have a very positive effect on Libra's growth, ideas and progress;
Aries can help Libra put their ideas into action. Working together can
be challenging at times, however, due to their polarity. Aries's
fast-paced, impetuous approach to projects may conflict with Libra's
more balanced, intellectual approach. However, both Signs have
wide-ranging interests, and at the end of a long, active day, Aries can
come home full of interesting stories to tell the more cerebral Libra!
Aries and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. They both have a lot of
initiative -- but lack in follow-through. They both tend to start
things
they're never going to finish, whether it's a job, a project, a
relationship ... Aries will appear to be the leader because of their
energy and forceful nature, but Libra leads from an intellectual
standpoint. Both Signs want to be in charge, but Aries uses force and
sometimes intimidation to get what they want while Libra uses charm and
sometimes manipulation. Compromise is essential to this relationship's
health. Diplomatic Libra has a much easier time with compromise than
does Aries, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person, viewing
it
as submission. Libra may have to give in more often to Aries's wishes
in order to keep the peace that they so cherish.
What's the
best
aspect of the Aries-Libra relationship? The harmony resulting from the
union of Venus and Mars. The balance between self and other represented
by this polarity is a great learning experience for both Signs. Each
brings to the relationship what the other is missing, making for a
wonderful balance.
