Aries and Libra
Opposition · opposites
What tradition says
Your signs face each other across the zodiac: an opposition, which Ptolemy counts among the aspects that clash. Yet same mode and same polarity: you're the two halves of one axis.

| Polarity | Masculine | Masculine |
What it's like together
Opposites attract: the other has what you lack, and it shows right away.
The trap
The trait that attracts ends up irritating: each of you wishes the other were a bit more like you.
One thing to do together
Tell each other what you admire in one another, and what you borrow from each other.
What your signs don't say
Here we only compare your two Sun signs: one point each, out of about ten in a chart. Two people who are Aries and Libra may have nothing else in common: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the rising sign weigh just as much. Real compatibility compares the two charts, planet by planet.
