ASTROLOGY

When a sign meets itself, the result is always a mirror game. The ram wants to arrive at first place, start and initiate, take several steps ahead and make an entrance even before going to. A lot will depend on people's ages but there'll evident effects over time, both in each one of the participants as well as in the relationship itself. All will be especially potentiated, whatever be the tone of the experience or the achieved result.

Because the sign prefers direct expressions and takes a single orientation, it probably won't feel attracted by particular or singular characteristics of the other person. That's why it becomes part of quite peculiar couples, since individuality -rather than complementarity- is quite strong, leaving room for a lot of freedom while keeping the eyes more focused on the road than on the partner.

Arians are very independent people and, if it's about working together, are great to take ahead several entrepeurnerships in different directions, if each participant remains focused on a specific and different area.

This is a strange combination because the first times are quite different to what comes out as the relationship unfolds. To Aries, it's a chance to be more in contact with all around although only if it allows it... A lot will depend on the urgency, aims and interests of the ram, and the available space in its life to make a stop and consider the most basic, concrete and simple things. These matters are not basic subjects for the sign although it cannot look aside for too long about them and, somehow, taking them into consideration will finally bring profits.

Since this is quite a physical relationship, Taurus is a good company after agitated times and energy wastes, because it precisely makes it easier to notice weaknesses or lacks, so some vitality could be recovered. Besides, and if the relationship goes on, Aries will find in the bull a way and rhythm with few ups and downs and more stable forms, and an undecreasing potency (such as the ram usually experiences). Although both signs prefer different ways to express themselves, they share a lot of active states, and it seems none of them takes a break!

Another karmic characteristic of the meeting is that their common areas or those of greater compatibility are not perceived at first sight or at the beginning of the relationship: both of them have to discover the other partner to notice they usually perceive in a similay way (or at leat based on similar parameters): when one of them is concentrated closer here, the other one does the same over there, with the bull finally providing a greater extent and reach to the ram's projects, aims and ambitions. As a result, Aries probably broaden the own area of influence by incorporating a Taurine consciousness, and start focusing on all the world around in a greater extent.

It's hard for Aries to take Gemini seriously, and it may remain cautious about starting a commercial relation or anything implying a risk of losing. The twins take the ram out of its particular ways, which may be quite exciting anyway, due to the unusual experiences they offer.

Besides, the twins seem to be a bit intrincate, whereas Aries is plain and straight. Aries won't always be sure about Gemini's truthfulness... It'll have doubts and consider different criteria: Gemini is more inclined to wit moves for creating the most convenient conditions, and Aries doesn't play strategically for the context to join (instead, the very sign makes it possible).

Another difference is that the ram loves giving surprises like novelties, the unknown, or by creating stunning moments, whereas the twins prefer integrating themselves by offering or searching for what is mostly considered as attractive, or settled-down, installed or commonly well-valuated (in this sense, they're more traditionalistic people than Arians are).

And there's more. Both signs also display different ways to turn things productive, and the results are quite different over time. Aries places the sight on the road it's following and, somehow, the present road is not the road of yesterday, and the road of tomorrow won't be today's road. But time brings different experiences to Gemini, since the sign removes a lot of what it does and thinks. The twins go through removals leading to starts (not to restarts), whose fruits might not be seen during their lifetime (since they involve future generations). Instead, Aries doesn't make a stop, not even because of karma. This characteristic of the relationship might produce quite different circumstances in the life of both of them, for example when deciding about taking some time to think again about a business, or if it's better to deepen into the chosen developmental path without making an impasse.

It's a very silent relationship in which Aries begins to notice more clearly the own personal statements, the choices it made, what sets it apart and what makes it singular. Beyond words and questions, Cancer simply lets it do and unfold, like inviting the ram to be well-receptioned and accepted. Both probably remain inside of this dynamics, in which ideas are finally approved, and even adorned, in a kind of a mutual inspiration that, however, might bring strong differences at the time of setting the way to implement affairs in practical fields, or defining the environmet and people to be integrated, or the ways to be taken for reaching whay they pursue.

Besides, Cancer counts on a deep perception about the ram, what it does, thinks and has, and Aries might not be aware of it while it's focused on taking an active main role in the relationship... In bad terms, someday the ram may notice "it has missed something", not being able to find out who subtracted it... But if there's good and trustful communication, Cancer may become a very good psychic reference to Aries. The crab also displays a particular charm to the sign of Mars, an attractive note that Aries cannot tell quite well what it is or how it happens.

In a stable relationship, Aries finds a mysterious source of self-awareness, precisely in all of the contrasts Cancer displays. In this encounter, and far from considering that differences finally split people apart, those very differences are the ones nurturing an approachment. Even Cancer's consciousness makes it easier for personal decisions, especially in the most private affairs. Over time, Aries should expect for quite radical changes related to its living environment and lifestyle... the very ram will decide where to go and how far it will go.

A meeting of two Fire signs tells of much connection between them. There's communication, and they're willing to share and exchange what they bring and provide. To Aries, it's not just about novelties but also showing them, telling the others about them or giving the news first... Both signs share many characteristics but the ram considers in first place the action introducing a tendency or idea, an action expressing there's an interest involved, a desire taking closer to something or someone, impulsing to somewhere. Both signs may even share activities, agree in their ways and walk together for a long time, although they'll see they don't always have started from the same motivations or considering the same goals and, in comparison, Leo may remain in a narrower vision.

Both signs offer projects to each other and are also quite good for attracting followers and resources to the partner's plans. But the central role, authority and domination of the lion may bring problems to the relationship. Aries will be more tolerant, although the same tolerance may turn more visible the eventual Leo's intolerance.

Besides, Aries should be prepared for accepting many situations coming from the circumstances of the partner, which will be heavy-weight circumstances in its life. It'll clearly notice that it has nothing to do with those situations, that it has not looked for them and has not even caused them. It'll have to make a decision about accepting them or not, since they won't disappear from the lion's life and, if wanting to keep the relationship over time, Aries will notice those situations will be more present in its own life each time. It'll be in vain trying to set characteristics, limits or some kind of differentiation between what belongs and does not belong to the relationship because not even the lion could avoid those circumstances. Anyway, they'll mean a challenge for acceptance and tolerance, in two signs seeming to be clear about what to do and how to do it.

The meeting puts on the table very specific characteristics of both of them and implies specific situations to Aries. Some circumstances (that could be more clearly seen by looking at the birth chart) make the ram particularly inclined to reasoning, and understanding rather than following the own impulses. It doesn't mean the sign makes a stop: it simply lives a moment that allows finding an ordering and the own place. Aries is not especially interested in the partner's perspective but in displaying a view rather than starting motion. So it incorporates a kind of "panoramic" consciousness while it walks towards its goals.

Both signs may not share the same enthusiasm or interests, but at least Virgo shows an alternative way, a path that surely hasn't been or wouldn't be Aries' first choice among options. Certainly, this is a relationship better established if counting on good will to agree or share, and if they stay open to the partner's ways.

It might be Aries, and not Virgo, the one more interested in the relationship. Through the sign of the spike, the ram may find constancy, continuation, softness and a quite fluent action line for what it has in mind. It'd be convenient to pay special attention to Virgo's perceptions and relationships over time, as well as the profits and disadvantages it experiences... all situations that will show Aries how to make life simpler, save energy, remain less exposed and avoid wastes. It's about a way of taking action into the world that will seem something new to Aries, as it sees how the partner moves effectively, reaching deep into the situations without forcing it or taking the initiative, and not even finding resistance on the way. Aries hardly turn to be meticulous or go deeper into studies but, inside of the relationship, Virgo is the one providing awareness of a very fruitful field for Aries' sowing.

In the battle of opposites, and when both signs are on the same side, victory is almost granted. More precisely, the necessary resources are finally got, businesses reach max advantages, very original initiatives come out, and the general attraction increases. On the contrary, when the meeting takes place in antagonistic fields, the signs may expect for competition and disloyalty in contacts, finding equal contrary forces on each side.

In evolutional terms, there's no earnings or losses because both signs make use of the same parameters for vital energy flow and remain concentrated: they offer, try and distribute in the same ways. If something doesn't work for one of them, then it won't work for the other one, either.

The dates near birthdates may be particularly conflictive moments for vitality, with effects on the body and mind. But in general terms, both signs may become very good partners on the road, making the best of circumstances at each moment, sharing what they have, exchanging and alternating roles and places. Besides, Libra easily perceives Aries' intentions, and even makes other people interested in the partner!

There's a lot of daily motion when they're together, setting long-term projections. It's a relationship for people daring to make big changes and twists, willing to commit within with what the partner brings. If Aries and Libra decide to go on together, there won't be a place in their personal experiences remaining out of the relationship: all will be altered, modified, reanimated, impulsed once again, which may even change their future paths...

Keeping the rhythm and characteristic of this meeting may be exhausting in a permanent and constant relationship, so it may be convenient to take some time off to rest, find serenity and decrease stress in the nervous system.

In other times, both signs were ruled by the same planet, Mars, but since Pluto was assigned to Scorpio in the last century, new appreciations make it easier to observe and understand better the differences between both signs.

Aries is frank, straight, open and plain. Scorpio is more reserved, visceral and has no rush. The ram's desire should not be mistaken by Scorpio's sexual impulses because desire is not a synonym of physiology, sex or sexuality. Besides, Aries looks for expressing, unfolding, moving towards, whereas Scorpio attracts, doens't show interest and expresses out when the domain is granted.

The compatibility will depend a lot on other variables in the birth charts because these two suns, in esoteric terms, show more differences than similarities: when Aries moves according to plans, Scorpio looks for the exception or what doesn't fit the scheme. When Aries announces the advantages of inventions and the attractive characteristics of what it has in mind, Scorpio thinks about the limits of the offer and the exchange regulation. When Aries is inspired for the future, Scorpio is not particularly receptive to noticing it nor considers the path the ram has been walking through.

All of these characteristics should be appreciated according to the kind of relationship in mind because, for example, the same ones could be great in a laboral relation but not so much if the signs look for company. If it's about a couple, the meeting doesn't provide an affinity for sharing special moments.

But there's a trait taking them closer: they both are extreme signs, quite related to physical sexuality although, if competing, they won't complement each other at all... More understanding about the union of these two signs may be found in the study of the Moon and nodes in birth charts, which are the main karmic signifiers to complete the panorama of causes and effects in this type of interaction.

The meeting increases the nervious tension in both signs, although Aries is the one more affected. Sagittarius increases Aries' speed, who might feel an extra urgency and be altered. But all of this belongs to the archer, the sign tending to review and examine the relationship. If something has not reach Aries' consideration, Sagittarius will notice it and, when it do, the ongoing plans will be changed, the course of action will be altered, some relations will increase the tension, and some others might be redefined.

The instability will also affect the extent of Aries' consciousness, who might experience some pressure to become more self-centered (another circumstance out of its plans or usual ways). But the ram should think twice before accepting Sagittarius' recommendations to change the way of thinking or discarding options.

Even if it's about a couple, Aries won't always understand the process the partner is going through, and many times it won't know what's going on with it, where it goes to or what its rhythms and particular tendencies are... It also doesn't see clearly the end of the road, and sometimes it thinks the archer's enthusiasm has no real basis. As a result, Aries seems to be the most stable partner in the relationship, if considering what is usual when two Fire signs are combined. And, as time passes by, the ram shows the archer how the experience of remaining is: it's the flame that doesn't go out. This happens only when the Arian ways have been displayed, when the relationship has continued over time.

Sagittarius could well take what the partner provides for avoiding some deep ups and downs it usually experiences although, and anyway, the sign comes back once and again to the world it was born, although coming back reanimated.

Another characteristic of the meeting is that, being together, they could far and far away from practical and concrete matters, from what they need to implement desires and intentions in material terms. When it happens, both Aries and Sagittarius live a same karma by going through circumstances reconnecting them to daily stuff.

This is a combination whose variations are not immediately perceived, which become evident as the two partners share their rhythms. It seems Capricorn is always ahead, as it would have already walked on the paths Aries is now taking. Without interfering, it just brings closer those characteristics Aries will find on the road, with the sign putting itself in the ram's horizon.

But the goat brings more or other options when Aries is about to finish plans or close an idea. It also provides Aries a greater reach for influencing, and a greater field of insertion. Staying together, Aries becomes much more focused than its partner, and starts noticing what usually misses from sight.

Another characteristic of this particular encounter is a kind of permanent generation. When they visualize a horizon, they don't announce an ending and, instead, turn the partner active, over and over again. Besides, none of them gets stagnated, they rarely repeat themselves and, at the same time, offer stability to each other.

It happens even among young people: they wait for each other, showing they understand what's going on with the partner, the processes it's going through and where it goes to.

They're even quite independent people, and are not particularly related to legacies, traditions, lines of action or projects that have not been designed by themselves. In case they be among those circumstances, an Aries-Capricorn relationship will also dettache from karmic roots, without reproducing them, and by making quite complete moves since they finish what they start, and they keep on starting after the endings. They'll also notice that, when they become receptive to the partner's influence, it doesn't mean a conditioning in their lives, so they'd hardly develop mutual dependencies.

Time passing by leaves traces on them, turning into a particular dynamic relationship: although common areas may become constants, what comes out at each moment and in every meeting has free way. It'll be up to them to take it or not.

Taking ahead the relationship demands mutual support. It doesn't have a negative connotation, and refers to the vital energy, intensities and tendencies. In this synastry, they should pay special attention to the weight of birth karma in each chart because it'll indicate the level of mutual tolerance and the duration of the very relationship throughout time...

Aries will feel like jumping over an abyss but Aquarius knows there's no falling. Along with the ram, the water carrier lives comfortably in the Air of its natural element, and feels particularly inclined to provoke the ram. But, once again, this is not an aggressive tendency but a personal aim reaching the partner, for taking it closer and making it join the own way to be.

The eventual frictions have to be considered inside of this more general frame. Rejections, resistances and moving away make sense when considering the partner's karma and its particular times: a same project or panorama may be received and lived quite differently according to the moment chosen to introduce it.

What happens is that Aquarius rarely will think about this and, if it does, it may be late and the partner may have left the relationship. Besides, it may not have entirely perceived all of Aries' commitment to what it does or the duties it has accepted. The ram leaves nothing half-done and, when it takes a path, it puts all of its efforts on it, whereas Aquarius takes the ram back to time before time... Hard to understand out of Aries' karma: the ram is facing an unexpected freedom or, at least, a freedom out of its usual ways.

In this meeting, freedom doesn't refer to the extent or tolerance in ideas and ways, since there's nothing symbolic about it. To Aries, the relationship means a turn displaying more questions than goals, for discovering rather than implementing and, in vital terms, it leads to radical transformations that will also reach the body and its functioning. Just for starting, Aries will notice in a quite physical way what happens every time the focus of attention changes, in the corporal area as well as in the rest of the material circumstances.

In this meeting, the pair of signs finds communication at several levels: two people express themselves in deep perception, and even perceive the partner in the same way. In fact, Aries nor Pisces let appearances confuse them, and are very aware of what is not said, what is delayed, what still has a chance, what's coming closer and what's moving away...

The sign of the fishes is ruled by Neptune, the god of the seas who commands with a trident what happens not just in the waters. So in this combination it'll be observed that, under a surface of different forms, Aries and Pisces share many characteristics and tendencies. Both make progress in the same areas and by using the same means, and it also happens a very special situation: they provide each other anticipated frequencies.

The just mentioned characteristic may sound too abstract but it's what easily and concretely changes the perception and awareness of both signs when joined. Pisces speeds up the karmic cycle of Aries, and Aries provides a completely involved and connected way to be, without dependencies or confusion. Pisces also provides another frame for the ram's goals or aims, one where it's not so important the personal presence, the sharpness or straight actioning on something or someone, one in which the interests are reached the same, and even more...

It's Aries the one who will experience more transformations inside of the relationship. Pisces may clear out doubts or reduce confusions and hoaxes played to itself or people around, but Aries might choose the way to dissolve karma, the most expensive in daily terms, the most fluent in esoteric terms. The influence of the god of the seas is massive, such as the effects of the relationship in the live and world of the ram.
