ARIES & LIBRA SEXUAL & INTIMACY COMPATIBILITY

Although Aries and Libra are both signs of masculine nature, they are a primal opposition of the zodiac and present a relationship between Mars and Venus, planets in charge of our sex life. When they engage in intimate relations, it is expected for all their libido and possible problems with sexual expression to surface. Attraction they feel toward each other is great, but their signs combined present passive-aggressive behavior in general and as a couple they could have a tendency to hurt each other in intimate relations.

Ruled by Mars, Aries is a sign of Saturn’s debilitation and Libra exalts it, so their main issue is the lack of emotion and poor boundaries when it comes to sex. Saturn can cool things a bit too much and be a challenge to overcome in their attempts to get sincerely close. When they connect through real emotion and respect each other’s boundaries, they have a potential for a very good sex life, as Aries gives initiative and energy to indecisive Libra, lifting their libido and Libra awakens the fineness of Aries, teaching them how to be selfless lovers and enjoy thinking about the satisfaction of their partner.

ARIES & LIBRA TRUST

Trust is not their forte and problems with it could torture them for years. Libra partner has a problem with insecurity in general and needs to show their worth through relationships with different people. They love to be loved and seem to be hungry for the approval of those around them. Aries finds this stupid but easily gets jealous and threaten their mutual sense of stability and belief in other person’s choices.

Due to Libra’s lack of confidence, it is also possible that they will doubt everything their partner does. Since Aries doesn’t put much time or thought into their actions, the lack of conversation about every single detail from their personal life could easily arise suspicion in the mind of a Libra. The most important thing here is for Libra to work on their self-esteem and keep their focus on their own life instead of trying to blend into the life of their partner.

ARIES & LIBRA COMMUNICATION AND INTELLECT

Aside from possible conflicts Libra tries to flee from most of the time, their communication usually serves to feed the hungry Sun of a Libra partner, or Aries’ hungry Saturn. Their opposition covers the points of debilitation and exaltation of Saturn and Sun, and this is mainly shown in their communication and everyday functioning. This means that their role in each other’s life is quite simple – Aries needs to boost their Libra partner’s spirits all the time, showing them how capable and brave they can be, while Libra takes on the responsibilities of their Aries partner and shows them how to reach a certain goal. All of this can be quite tiresome at times, especially if one of them has a problem with this unconditional role play, or doesn’t recognize the effort of their partner.

Mostly they will talk about their daily activities and events since they don’t share many interests. While talking about different activities and people, they find a common language as Aries helps Libra not to obsess about others and Libra helps Aries to understand different views than their own. Their communication might be great if they were in the same profession or at least share a workplace, because that would cover the basic interests they share and give them more space to find the middle between their opinions.

ARIES & LIBRA EMOTIONS

As crazy as this may seem with lack of qualities their relationship might suffer, this is a couple that understands each other very well when it comes to emotions. Aries can awake Libra’s ability to show them because of their own openness. This is something every Libra needs, as they have trouble letting their guard down. Libra, on the other hand, has enough depth to look inside Aries personality instead of superficially examining their behavior. Of all the zodiac signs, Libra is probably one of the few that have good understanding of the nature of Aries. They don’t understand their actions and their way of display of emotion, but the core of emotion and sensitive personality is easy to reach from their perspective.

It is safe to say that this is a couple that could solve any issue with love they have for each other and although their troubles could be great, this is possibly such a deep emotional connection that all problems fade next to it.

ARIES & LIBRA VALUES

Our values set the direction that leads us to our goal for personal development. Aries has a goal in the sign of Capricorn for this is the sign in their tenth house. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn that exalts in Libra. In the practical sense, this means that Libra helps Aries achieve their goals, while following necessary values. This is an interesting observation because the sign of Aries is the sign of Saturn’s debilitation and doesn’t seem to understand the set of values or exact steps that would lead them to their goal. It is almost as if Libra knew the way for Aries to reach their goals by discovering new values in relationship with them.

In general, their individual values are different in so many ways, but it is exactly the purpose of their relationship to question them and set them straight. Aries values direct, energized approach and outspoken people. Libra values tact, fineness and prestige. While Aries gives their best to live in the now, Libra examines the past to set distant targets in the future. They have a lot to learn from each other, but if they do, they might just set their mutual values somewhere in the middle.

ARIES & LIBRA SHARED ACTIVITIES

This is the couple that finds it very difficult to coordinate their activities. They want to do opposite things most of the time, and the only activity they always agree on sharing is sexual activity. Although this is a pillar for a good relationship and everything else they cannot share might seem irrelevant for some time, they need to find a way to do something else they both enjoy. Even if they don’t, their relationship might work, but only if Libra partner lets go of their idea that they need to include their partner in everything they do. Aries could help Libra by supporting their independence in any possible way, while accepting involvement in a part of activities Libra cares about.

SUMMARY

However difficult it might be to reconcile these two natures, remember that this is a primal opposition that represents partners by signification. Aries and Libra are the couple of the zodiac, as much as any other opposing signs, for they are each other’s seventh house, house of relationships. Even more so if we acknowledge the fact that Libra is the sign of relationships in general. Any problem they might have with each other is something to be worked on, because it shows what their personal problem with any relationship is. When they are madly attracted to each other and fall in love, there is almost nothing that could separate them, no matter the differences. Wouldn’t we all like to find the middle ground with our loved one? They need to work on their bond, that’s a fact, but their relationship is a promise of a perfect fit of two souls meant to be together.

Libra And Aries Love Compatibility

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.

Why Aries and Libra Make a Strong Couple

Aries and Libra will connect with each other like magnets. They are complete opposites. Aries is the beginning of spring and Libra is the beginning of fall. Opposite relationships often go well together. I am not one to say that relationships have to be one way or the other. Some people prefer having someone who is opposite; some prefer one that is more like a mirror into the self. In all practical honesty, any relationship combination in the zodiac following simply sun signs can work.

We have seen every single combination, all 72 combinations, succeed in marriage, and we also as a species have seen all 72 combinations end in divorce, or even worse. As I look at my cats right now, they are in perfect harmony. And they are complete opposites. So today, we're going to talk about how opposites (with some notable similarities) attract. Laws of attraction and repulsion exist in all relationships. Many relationships leave the laws of repulsion unconscious, making it difficult to handle and tolerate.

In this relationship: your partner is bringing to the table the skills and traits you don't have but need. Aries is technically of a yang persuasion; however, I find the way we view yang-and-yin traditionally in the zodiac isn't always clear cut. Traditionally speaking, fire and wind signs are yang. Water and earth signs are yin. Libra has more yin quality to it than Aries, who is incredibly yang. Libra is ruled by Venus which is the planet of love and the following emotions. Libra has a certain romantic, idealistic mindset about them. They like to soak in the beauty of what is around them, and they crave fine things and to be refined. They want balance in the world rather than manifestation. Aries is all about manifestation. Libra is trying to balance all paradoxes; unfortunately, not everything in this universe is meant to be balanced or understood that way. This is difficult for Libra to reconcile.

So these two are going to attract to each other, but they definitely have different lenses that they bring together. Aries is the first child of the zodiac; they want to be independent; they strive to create and to get the world in motion. They don't like to sit still for too long. There's too much world and adventure for them to sit by and let it all go to waste.

Libra, on the other hand, is in the middle of the zodiac. They already see what has happened from manifestation, and they are preparing the seasons for the next half of the year. This is why Libra thinks more in balance. It cares about the manifestation of creation, but it also sees how you need to live and take care of what's already set in motion. This is good for Aries who needs a partner who balances them. Sometimes Aries needs romance, but doesn't have the best access to it, or has a partner that will confuse them. Aries can be thrown off by too much mushiness, and in turn, can only be competitive if it has a partner that solely thinks about their ego, like another fire sign. Libra is balanced in these regards, so that can make for a desirable relationship for Aries.

The Nature of the Romantic Beast

Aries does move fast. They constantly want to be on the go. Libra is one of the more lazy signs. They will want to stay home and do absolutely nothing at times. They also will take on the world and bring in new insights, but they have a fear that they'll come off stupid. So they often hold themselves back and prevent themselves from interacting with the world. Aries doesn't think this way. It just goes, so the Aries sign will naturally pull the Libra out of its shell and into the real world.

Generally, whatever the Libra does is enjoyed by everyone. The Libra has an interesting mind as an air sign and might feel underestimated compared to Gemini or Aquarius. Libra borrows a little bit from both and tries to balance it out. It can be just as weird and eclectic as Aquarius, and it can be just as open-minded and indecisive as Gemini. One of the biggest balances that Libra has to deal with, though, is existing between its two polar opposite neighbors: Virgo and Scorpio.

Virgo is known for putting off relationships. It is the single most important sign of all. It wants to work hard and conquer the world often putting relationships on the back burner. Meanwhile, Scorpio is well known for how passionate it is, and that it actually desires relationships more than sex, but is not always conscious of this.

Libra has a lot on its hands trying to understand its neighbors and what it should borrow to balance it all out. Libra is an idealist, so it likes the passion of Scorpio. Libra is also constantly thinking, so it understands the busy-bee mentality of a Virgo, but usually Libra doesn't want to push itself to that Virgo-degree. It can find a Virgo exhausting.

Libra can find a lot of people exhausting, because it wants things to be balanced and refined. And so many signs just seem like they are overreacting or putting too much focus in the wrong direction. Libra will not put up with psychic vampires. It can't stay in that unstable position for long because they want something more real and sustaining. Libras are old souls, so they have high expectations for relationships. They can believe in soulmates, and if you are not their soulmate, they might see you as a psychic vampire taking them away from their true path. This can make Libras very picky, and at times they can't breathe with their own pickiness, and so Libras will flutter for a moment as a psychological release. This comes out from their flirtatious nature, but they are not players or seducers, generally speaking.

What Makes Aries and Libra Work?

Similar, yet different

Full of vibrancy and also balance

Opposites attract

One leads, one tends to it

You may have a lot of battles about what to do and how everyone feels. Aries wants to go, and Libra is indecisive. Sometimes always having to do something can make sloth-like-Libra feel overwhelmed. Aries will sometimes have to calm down or do things by itself. Aries will gladly do things independently, but Libra who is into partnerships will feel bad if they are not investing in time with you when you want to do something.

With maturity and age, this should even out. Libra will realize that Aries does like doing things by itself, and Aries will realize Libra only likes to do so much in a day. At times, Libra will feel a lot of pressure to balance things out. Coming from the planet Venus, and wanting to maintain that love can be difficult when you have someone under Mars. This should make for a nice, balanced energy. Mars makes for a strong masculine vibe and Venus makes for a strong feminine vibe.

Venus in Retrograde

Whether you are reading this now or in the future, the energy caused by Venus being in retrograde speaks to the varying pressures of these two signs. Libra is guided by Venus. If you can remember spring 2017, you'll get an idea of the flow of energy here between Aries and Libra. And also what it feels like to pull them apart.

When Venus is in retrograde, it brings up the reality of certain situations, which puts pressure, particularly on Pisces and Aries. And for the sake of this article, Pisces and Libra are a lot alike. They have their obvious differences, but they are two of the eldest soul signs of all. So you can learn a lot from Pisces and apply it to Libra.

When Venus and Mars are pulling away from each other, it causes imbalance, making for strong weather patterns, and particularly confused romantic relationships. The energy is off and confusing. It may recover after a couple of months, but the damage can be real here. This kind of separation between planets that really connect to masculinity and femininity opens up existential crises when split.

You will probably come across people in relationships where their partner is cheating or considering meandering. People don't necessarily want to approach their partner with their affections because of a new fear of rejection. And so they're going to third parties to release the affections they want to give to their primary partner.

Retrogrades leave you vulnerable

People are vulnerable; there's a high sense of sexuality that tends to be unleashed due to Aries' nature when in this situation. And there's going to be a lot of murkiness all around. This will make you question your relationships, which, in part, is a good thing. Retrogrades happen so that we are aware of reality. They are big reality checks, and this one is a really big reality check. What's important to remember when this happens with Aries, it sets the stage for the year. Seeds will be planted in this time, so be careful what you do. Your actions do have ripples. Your thoughts do have ripples. There is nothing you do that is done alone. You are born into this world with the help of your family. Unless you die alone somewhere, your family is also there to send you off. People want to find their dead relatives and put them to rest for this reason. The closure is necessary. You as an individual are naturally also part of a collective. I say this not to give you an existential crisis, but to let you know you are part of a network. And your actions matter. You are living matter. So be careful about what you do in this season, because seeds are planted, and you don't want to plant seeds of despair. Those can be difficult to uproot later.

Protect yourself and be conscious of how you are thinking. When there is a lot of murkiness in the air, it is trying to get you to not think intentionally and get you confused. High sexually charged retrogrades are great for creativity, but can be destructive for relationships. You may see a lot of breakups, and many people coming to terms with their relationship and deciding... it isn't for them. These are make or break moments.

What to do when Venus is in retrograde

Make a point to clean. Clean your house for an hour a day. This will clear the slate for your mind and keep you positive.

Be intentional if you are in a relationship. Give compliments, consider what they may want in the relationship, and avoid people who you suddenly feel are attractive. Don't fear them; just don't bother with them.

Spend time doing activities you love. Avoid negative energy.

You may experience emotional highs or even telepathic moments. Take them in stride. Know you are not alone. You are growing; you'll continue to grow until it's your time not to be on this planet anymore.

Be conscious of what you eat. Your stomach may have a harder time digesting food. Add more vegetables and fruits into your diet.

Get enough sleep. Sleep is one of your best defense against spiritual or sexual attacks. Eight hours is recommended.

If you are religious, review your holy book or your practices. This is a good time for self-evaluation. Get connected with your spiritual self again.

Any negative comment you make is going to have three times the strength it normally has. Your stress is going to be three times more than your usual. For the next few days, remember and say to yourself, 'If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all."

Watch your wallet. Don't get into impulsive spending. If you already have it, don't buy it. Cook food at home and save money from eating out at restaurants.

Give to charities, churches, and other organizations to give positive energy back into your community.

Stay out of dangerous places or places that attract negativity. Places prone to shootings and disasters will get hit with this.

How Does Venus Retrograde Relate to an Aries and Libra Relationship?

Venus in retrograde causes dissonance between Venus and Mars. When the two are closer together, and in balance, they make for a calm, wonderful relation that we all enjoy. This is the same for Aries and Libra. When they are pulled apart, it can be felt. Magnets are not supposed to be split to opposite corners of the universe. Aries and Libra are drawn to each other this way. They need to know that when there is a gulf, they will return to each other.

Aries is more likely to wander and get carried away with passions, so it needs to remember its contract with Libra. Just the same if Mars and Venus went off course in our solar system, breaking that contract would be devastating and would impact us here on Earth. There is an ebb and flow here, and even in individual times, you have to remember how you are influencing your relationship, be conscious, and understanding.
