Aries
Women:
Aries is the sign of independence. There is a sense of always
being alone. They
feel being alone has always offered a chance of pure self-focus,
even when involved in a relationship. They like to watch themselves
grow. An Aries woman likes to share her insights about herself
with others. Therefore, her friends are of utmost importance when
she is single. But, no matter how many friends she has, the most
important thing for an Aries is independence and freedom. Ultimately,
she knows she must rely on herself. The Aries woman needs to build
a strong inner center. Behind the appearance of aggressive self-strength
there often lurks deep vulnerability and self-doubt. Once inner
doubts are quenched, there is no stopping an Aries woman. When
she knows who she is and what she wants, nothing can stand in
her way. The most important quality for an Aries woman is self-confidence.
Usually, other women believe that Aries women are more self-confident
than they actually feel inside. Often what looks like self-confidence
is actually bravado. It is a facade. To develop true self-confidence,
the Aries woman needs to honestly evaluate from where her self-doubts
spring. Inside she may feel like a child who doesn't measure up
to her parents' expectations. When she conquers these deep-set
doubts she will have a true sense of self-esteem. Her initiative
and daring will spring from a sense of inner clarity. What stops
an Aries woman is not fear, it is lack of faith in her own personal
strength. They crave perfection and uniqueness, but remember that
they need to work hard for these attributes. That means taking
one issue at a time, dealing with it, then letting it go. They
mustn't let go too fast. An Aries is very good at startings and
beginning, but has trouble with completion. Perseverance is something
they need to learn. Their methods of self-discovery are very fast,
and without tunnel vision they will discover that it's the pursuit
of self that's more worthy of their attention than the goal of
mastery.
Aries
Loving Scorpio
The
Aries/Scorpio combination brings together two very powerful people.
Both women can be very forceful and aggressive in their own way.
Both are passionately emotional, but express this emotion differently.
The Arie's expression is very direct and outspoken; you always
know where this woman stands. The Scorpio woman, however, has
powerful emotions but tends to keep them in. If the Aries gets
angry, she may remember it for years. Even though the Scorpio
woman is more reserved, she respects her Aries partner's outspoken
honesty. Both women can be daring and courageous, and each respects
this in the other.
This
relationship will need to have many areas of agreement if it is
to succeed, since if the two women disagree, their emotions could
erupt into a volcano. And although the Scorpio woman respects
her Aries partner's honesty, she would not be pleased at the Aries
tendency to be so open and frank with other people about matters
the Scorpio would like kept secret. Since Scorpio emotions run
so deep, it is hard for the Aries woman to predict what is and
what is not off-limits to talk about. The Scorpio woman is also
very sensitive (although she may not show it), and a thoughtless
remark from her Aries partner could wound her deeply, though she
might never let on. These two women will probably love each other
passionately, even though at times it might look more like a war
than a love relationship. If the Aries woman can learn more consideration
for her Scorpio partner's feelings, and if the Scorpio can curb
her tendency to be jealous and learn to trust the Aries, these
two could live in much more harmony.
Together
these two women can move mountains. They both have the ability
to go through devastating experiences and come out reborn. They
both have tremendous energy and vitality. The Scorpio woman can
help the Aries focus her energy in a creative direction. The home
they share will probably be immaculate and well-organized. Neither
will expect to spend most of their time together. Sexually, these
women should be very compatible, since they are both highly sexed
and passionate in their approach to lovemaking.
Aries
Loving Libra
The Aries/Libra combination can either be completely ideal or
a disaster. These two signs are on opposite sides of the zodiac,
and can either complement each other or conflict with each other.
Aries is the sign of the self and acting self-reliantly. Libra
is the sign of awareness of the other person's point of view and
of partnerships. The Aries woman can supply what her Libra partner
lacks, and vice versa. When these women work harmoniously together
they are like mirrors. Aries emphasizes self-awareness, Libra
brings out the awareness, Libra brings out the awareness of another
person's needs. The Libra woman helps balance her Aries partner's
energy and initiative. She loves reflecting back this energy in
the form of appreciation. At the same time, the Aries woman sometimes
gets impatient with the Libran's need to keep everyone happy.
And sometimes it seems to the Libra woman that the Aries is being
inconsiderate just to be contrary.
Together
these two women will attract many people to them. These two should
spark each other's creativity, especially in the realm of the
arts. The Libran helps refine the undisciplined but creative power
of Aries energy. And when these two are not arguing (which may
be often) they can carry on a flow of stimulating conversation.
Sexually, these two should be very compatible, since the Libran
woman is a highly responsive partner to the ardent nature of the
Aries woman.
Aries
Loving Aquarius
The Aries/Aquarius combination is generally a smooth and flowing
one. The fire of Aries and the air of Aquarius support and expand
each other. Freedon-loving Aquarius admires the honesty and fresh
sponaneity of Aries, and the Aries woman loves the sense of lofty
detachment that the Aquarian woman often projects (even though
the Aries woman has trouble being detached about anything). Both
these women will value freedom and independence in their relationship,
and each will find it easy to respect the other's individuality
and autonomy. In general, each will find the other a stimulating
and inspiring companion on the mental level. In fact, these two
often come together because they share some common vision, dream,
or cause.
The
problems that tend to arise between these two women are minor
in one sense, but nevertheless need attention because they often
revolve around intimate emotional communication. While the Aries
woman does not easily communicate tenderness and affection, her
feelings are ardent and intense. She craves reassurance and warmth
from her partner. The Aquarius woman often has a tremendous ability
to focus her mind, but although she too may have intense feelings,
the most important thing to her is taking a detached position
from which she can see things comprehensively and objectiively.
She may find the Aries demand for a passionate emotional response
unsettling. The Aries in turn may feel that the Aquarius does
not really care about her because the Aquarian emotional expression
is so cool. In other words, the same qualities that can be so
attractive to these two women on the intellectual level could
be a problem on the emotional level. For this relationship to
go beyond a superficial level, the Aquarian must learn to share
her feelings more openly and the Aries must realize that just
because love is not stated directly does not mean it is not there.
Whether
these two women resolve this emotional issue or not, they will
nonetheless make excellent companions. The home they share will
have an open quality that draws many creative and intelligent
people to visit. The two women may find that a larger group with
whom they can share common goals is an integral part of their
relationship. Neither woman will demand that they spend most of
their time together, although in the natural course of things
they will enjoy spending a lot of time together. Sexually, these
two women could have a compatible relationship once they
Aries
Loving Cancer
The Aries/Cancer combination has very strong positive and negative
aspects to it. Aries energy is strong and assertive, while Cancer
is receptive and sensitive. Together one can complement the other,
as Cancer receives and nourishes the forward-moving, fiery energy
of Aries. The soft and gentle Cancer woman feels energized by
her Aries partner. And the forceful Aries (who nevertheless may
feel insecure beneath her outer bravado) finds soothing warmth
with her sympathetic Cancer partner. Aries can bring excitement
into the Cancer's life, while Cancer can give Aries a sense of
roots.
This
relationship can bring complementary energies together, or it
can bring the clash of two very different personalities. For an
Aries woman, her Cancer partner's motherly concern can be comforting,
but at times it can also be smothering to the Aries' need for
independence and freedom. For the Cancer woman, her Aries partner
brings a lot of zest and excitement to her life, it's true- but
the Aries temperament can also be very abrupt and abrasive. Without
meaning to, the Aries woman can impulsively say something that
will wound her sensitive Cancer partner's feelings. The Aries
will then be bewildered when the other woman retreats in hurt
silence. Above all, this is a hightly emotional relationship,
often characterized by volatile ups and downs. This can be positive,
especially, because both women tend to react to life on a gut
level and are very aware of each other instinctively. It is a
very changeable relationship, also. One moment the two women will
be loving and tender, and the next the Aries woman will go storming
out the door, leaving the Cancer woman in tears.
As
these two women grow to understand each other more and more, they
will find ways of circumventing such unfortunate scenes. Both
will need to modify their behavior to some extent and then a very
happy relationship will be possible. The Aries woman must learn
to be more aware of how sensitive her Cancer partner is, and be
more solicitous of her feelings. The Cancer woman must learn to
be a little tougher, and then not take everything their Aries
partner says so seriously. Sexually, these two can have a very
satisfying relationship. Cancer loves the Aries passion, and Aries
loves the Cancer's emotional responsiveness. Aries may need to
develop more tenderness in the way she expresses love, otherwise
Cancer may feel she isn't loved.
Aries
Loving Virgo
The Aries/Virgo combination brings together two very different
people. The alchemy of their temperment may work very well, or
the two may continually be at odds with each other. Fiery Aries
plunges into things in a headlong fashion; cautious Virgo wants
to think about every detail before she acts. The Virgo woman can
be very decisive and efficient once she has analyzed all the facts.
But in the meantime, her Aries partner may be at her wit's end
with impatience. Virgo approaches life in a cool, detached way,
while Aries is hot and passionate.
The
question is, can these two women develop a harmonious relationship?
The answer is, cautiously, yes, if certain adjustments are made.
But first, let's examine more closely how these women tend to
interact with each other. The Virgo woman is a stickler for doing
things perfectly. Her Aries partner means well, but she can be
rather slap-dash in her approach to details. If the Virgo woman
can learn to appreciate the creative flair that her Aries partner
can add to anything they do together, these two can work very
constructively. At the same time, if the Aries woman can grow
to understand the need for systematic, thorough-going effort in
any task, she will find that her creative inspirations can actually
be used for practical applications. Another issue is the Virgo
woman's tendency to be critical of her Aries partner. Aries hates
criticism, all the more so if she disagrees with the perfectionistic
standard that the Virgo may be using to judge her. The Virgo woman's
intention is to help the Aries, but her partner will never understand
that. If the Virgo woman can learn to exercise more tact and tone
down her criticism, she will find she has much more influence
on her Aries partner. Aries wants to please those she loves, but
criticism must be offered in the right way.
Both
women have keen minds and the ability to eliminate in-essentials
and get to the heart of an issue. Each should admire this ability
in the other. Both women feel most comfortable with simplicity
and having an uncluttered environment. This common trait should
go far in making them more comfortable. Sexually, there is much
to work through since Virgo is cautious and reserved, and Aries
is so passionate.
Aries
Loving Capricorn
The Aries/Capricorn combination can be a strong one, but there
may be some major problems to work out. Fiery Aries is impetuous,
willful, sometimes reckless; earthy Capricorn is cautious and
wants things carefully planned out. Capricorn needs structure;
Aries tends to resist structure or any form of restriction. Clashes
between these two women may be almost inevitable at times. At
the same time, there is a sensitive, insecure side of Aries (often
hidden behind a brash facade), that can appreciate the structure
and grounding that Capricorn knows how to provide, as long as
the Aries does not feel hemmed in. And the Capricorn woman can
appreciate her Aries partner's zest and initiative, as long as
the Capricorn's carefully built plans are not threatened.
The
Capricorn woman's approach to love emphasizes the idea of commitment
and dependability. The Aries woman is capable of great loyalty,
but she hates to feel tied to "should" and "shouldn't".
The Aries will feel she should have teh freedom to move with any
impulse, even if she chooses not to. Therefore, the Capricorn
woman may tend to feel insecure at times with her Aries partner,
and the Aries woman my resent it whenher Capricorn partner imposes
expectations and obligations on their relationship. One problem
here may lie in the two women's perceptions of each other. The
Aries may see the Capricorn as having an almost parental strength
which is both attractive and threatening, but in fact the Capricorn
woman often feels very insecure, and lonely beneath her cool mask
of efficiency. by the same token, the Capricorn may shrink from
the harsh verbal attack her outspoken Aries partner occasionally
hurls at her. She will feel deeply hurt, not realizing how insecure
the Aries woman may feel.
If
these two women can probe beneath the protective armor they both
wear, they can come to a deep meeting of hearts. As a couple,
this combination can make a great team, once they begin to work
together rather than against each other. They are both dynamos
of energy once given a project, and the two of them together can
accomplish what ten other people might not be able to do. They
are both very hard-working; neither one can stand to be idle for
long. When acting constructively, the Capricorn woman can help
discipline and direct her Aries partner's creative power. Sexually,
these two can be very compatible once they resolve some of their
emotional tensions.
Aries
Loving Leo
The Aries/Leo combination brings together two very strong individuals.
Both Aries and Leo are fire signs, and independence and self-expression
are important to them both. If these two women can resist the
temptation to try to dominate each other, they will find they
have a lot in common. Each woman will respect the other's integrity
as an individual. Each will allow the other freedom to be who
she is, and to act on that. Each will enjoy the other's high spirits,
spontaneity, and sense of playfulness about life. They usually
will have a good time together. Neither one is intimidated by
the other woman's strength. They won't have to walk on eggs around
each other, they can both be honest and outspoken with each other
and needn't worry about hurting each other's feelings.
The
difference between the two signs can also enrich their relationship.
The Aries woman is much more impulsive and reckless than her Leo
partner. The Leo woman may be content to settle in to a comfortable
situation, especially if she has plenty of latitude to arrange
things according to her liking. Her Aries partner, however, will
get restless and want to strike off in a new direction almost
as soon as they have gotten comfortable. This can be a little
unsettling for the Leo woman, who likes to be in control of her
life, but it can also help keep her on her toes. At the same time,
the Leo woman can help give stability to her Aries partner. She
can help the Aries channel all that impetuous energy so that it
can be used creatively and not be just a flash in the pan. The
most frustrating thing for both these women is that if either
wants to dominate the other, there is no way that either one will
be dominated. And if one should try, there will definitely be
fireworks. So unless these two women want to be frustrated it
is best that they find ways to cooperate with each other rather
than struggling with each other.
The
most positive thing about the Aries/Leo relationship is that both
women stimulate each other's creativity. When these two work in
harmony they can accomplish tremendous projects together. Their
combined energy and initiative is amazing. Sexually, they should
be very compatible since both approach lovemaking passionately.
Aries
Loving Sagittarius
The Aries/Sagittarius combination can be an excellent one. Since
both are fire signs, both women are strong independent individuals.
They both are very restless and fear any restriction of their
personal freedom. The both thrive on physical activity. These
two women will enjoy going places and doing things together. Both
have very active minds and can spend hours discussing their ideas
together.
The
problems that arise in this relationship are generally minor as
these two usually see eye-to-eye. When they do disagree, they
can seem to be furious with each other, but more often than not
each is just trying to make a vigorous point. When they really
get angry, neither one stays angry for long. In no time they are
ready to make up. Neither is the kind to hold a grudge. When they
argue it is more often than not over some philosophical point,
especially as Sagittarius is always searching for the truth. The
Aries woman is inspired by this quality in her Sagittarian partner,
even though alone she is not so prone to involve herself with
abstract thought. The Sagittarius woman is helped by her Aries
partner in putting her ideas into action.
The
relationship between these two is more like comrades than lovers.
Part of the reason for this is that they are both so active and
outgoing that they seldom take the time to become sensitive to
each other's deeper feelings. Neither one feels comfortable with
hard-to-express emotions. Sexually, these two women can be compatible
as they are both physically passionate. They may need to work
more on the emotionally intimate side of their lovemaking.
Aries
Loving Pisces
The Aries/Pisces combination brings together two very different
women, but this match often works out better than might be expected.
The Aries woman is a strong, assertive individual. The Pisces
woman is the epitome of softness and sensitivity. These two women
can complement each other OR the two may fail to find any ground
for common understanding. Whichever way it works in this case
has much to do with the two individual women. Optimally, the Pisces
woman will find her Aries partner's initiative and forcefulness
invigorating. The Pisces tendency to drive at times in a nebulous
confusion will be counteracted by the Aries ability to take matters
vigoroously in hand and give direction to Piscean unfocused energy,
and the blunt, abrasive edge of the Aries personality will be
softened by the Piscean woman's compassionate sensitivity. Pisces'
all-accepting tolerance can be a valuable lesson for the Aries
woman who is often indignant and bewildered by life's injustices.
Aries' ability to challenge the status quo and stand up for one's
rights will show the Pisces woman an alternative to playing the
martyr.
Actually,
these two women have more in common than might otherwise appear.
Both Pisces and Aries bring to the relationship a deep and awe-filled
sense of the mysterious dimensions of life, an experience that
can be overwhelming. The approach of these two women to this experience
will be very different, however. The Pisces woman tends to feel
a part of this overwhelming universe, and drifts with the ebb
and flow of life; the Aries woman feels the urge to combat anything
that might submerge her independent identity even if it means
fighting the whole universe. She feels she must assert her individuality
against the flow of life. But beyond these two different approaches,
both women feel a deeper link -- the link of their common vulnerability.
For this reason, in spite of all their differences, these two
women are capable of an amazing spiritual and emotional rapport.
Beneath
their differences, the Pisces woman's heart will be touched by
her Aries partner's surprising sensitivity. The Aries woman may
feel more free to let down her guard and reveal her innermost
feelings with her Pisces partner. Of course, even at best these
two women could have problems. The Aries at times may run roughshod
over her Pisces partner's delicate feelings -- and not even know
it. The Pisces woman's indecisiveness might at times exasperate
her Aries partner. But if there is sufficient desire to overcome
these problems, a very satisfying relationship is possible between
these two women. Sexually, they can have a very good connection,
especially if the psychic link has been developed. If not, their
approach to lovemaking may be too different: the Aries woman may
be too insensitive, the Pisces woman too difficult.
Aries
Loving Gemini
The Aries/Gemini combination brings together two high-energy people.
An Aries, a fire sign, combined with a Gemini, an air sign, can
create a conflagration. Both these women, already highly excitable
by themselves, will be charged and stimulated by each other's
company. They will talk a mile a minute, and come up with all
sorts of plans, dreams, and possibilities together. The difference
between them is that Aries needs to act now -- even if this is
not always well-advised. Gemini, on the other hand, loves to think
about all kinds of ways of doing the same project and tends to
become vacillatory. An Aries woman becomes impatient with her
Gemini partner's talk and doubts and schemes. The Gemini woman
does not want to rush into something when she hasn't explored
all the ramifications.
This
combination has so much going for it that the problems are really
minor. The Aries woman will love the way her Gemini partner will
take up some brainstorm the Aries has had and expand on all the
ingenious ways it could be developed. Aries also enjoys all the
interesting people her Gemini partner knows and brings into their
lives. The Gemini woman opens up all kinds of new vistas for her
Aries partner to rush into and explore. The Gemini woman finds
that her Aries partner is fully able to give her all the excitement
she has ever craved. She will admire the way the Aries woman can
take an idea and start acting on it without being wracked by indecision.
The Gemini can learn the importance of acting when the iron is
hot, so to speak, rather than procrastinating and waiting until
it is too late.
From
the point of view of intimacy, these two could have some problems.
Neither one is easily in touch with her deeper feelings. They
both tend to be "head" people, and communicate wonderfully
on the intellectual level, but may need to work at communicating
their deepest needs to one another. Their relationship may seem
more like a sister contact rather than a lover contact. The same
thing applies to their sexual relationship. For Gemini, intellectual
rapport may be enough, but the Aries woman can be very passionate
and want that from her partner. Since these two are so compatible
in every other way they should be able to work out this difference
in their sexual needs.
Aries
Loving Taurus
The Aries/Taurus combination can be a creative one if each woman
is willing to meet her partner halfway -- or more than halfway.
Aries is a fire sign, and tends to impulsively jump into new projects.
Taurus is an earth sign and always moves slowly and deliberately.
The two together can help or frustrate each other. The Aries woman
wants everything to happen immediately, and becomes impatient
very easily. The Taurus woman is patient and cautious, and naything
she enters into she wants plenty of time to think about.
This
combination can work very creatively together. The Aries woman
loves to start new projects, but is so impatient that she often
has a hard time completing them. Her Taurus partner can help by
influencing her to slow down and think things through. She can
teach her Aries partner the value of taking the time to do one
thing at a time and completing it. She can also teach the Aries
about saving money for a rainy day, and not spending it on some
whim. Although the Aries woman often projects a strong aggressive
front, underneath her facade she has many insecurities. Her Taurus
partner can give her the support and security she needs.
The
Taurus woman can be helped by her Aries partner as well. Taurus
has the tendency to become a little stodgy -- a stick in the mud.
The fiery Aries woman brings a bright torch to the Taurus' secure
existence. Aries brings her partner a new charge and vitality.
The Aries woman will help move the Taurus out of any rut she might
have gotten into. The Taurus woman often sees her Aries partner
as being too impetuous, but she should recognize that this reckless
energy, when given some grounding, can be tremendously creative.
By the same token, the Aries woman should realize that her Taurus
partner can help her to put her exciting ideas into a viable form.
These
two women can get a lot accomplished together if they work with
rather than against each other. The Taurus woman knows how to
make the Aries woman feel loved and cared for. The Aries woman
knows how to add spice to the Taurus woman's life. Sexually, these
two can be very compatible as the Aries has the fire and passion,
and the Taurus has the warmth and sensuality.
Aries
Loving Aries
The combination of two fiery Aries together is a potent match.
In this relationship, the impetuosity and passion of Aries will
be strengthened and intensified. Two Aries together will fuel
a true desire for accomplishment. If each partner respects the
other's individuality, they can build strengths in each other
and inspire each other to grow as independent people.
Both
women have so much energy and dynamism that the question here
is how to keep the relationship from becoming too volatile. With
two Aries, the connection usually evolves very quickly. The challenge
is to slow down the process. Sometimes both women are moving and
growing so fast that there is no time to acknowledge each other's
true selves, only a passing glimpse of what the other is going
through. SLOW IT DOWN! Establish breathing room; sit down and
share. The roots needed for deep sharing can only grow when space
and time are given to getting to know and appreciate each other.
There is a tendency for an Aries to be so absorbed in herself
that she fails to see her partner's needs. Each must learn to
be open to her partner's unique individuality, and neither can
compel the other to adjust her ways.
It
is a great gift that two Aries women together can appreciate each
other's powerful individuality. Each can act as a mirror to the
other, reflecting strengths -- and weaknesses. An Aries woman
may see her partner as a mirror of her own courage, passion, and
adventurousness, or as someone who tries to dominate and control
her.
