Aries and Libra compatibility
Aries and Libra: a strong attraction of opposites, with decisions to learn together.
This reading uses your Sun signs only: their elements, modes and the angle between them. Here's why.
Why: Aries is cardinal fire and Libra is cardinal air, 180° apart (an opposition), so you're mirror images: both start things, one by acting alone and the other by bringing people together.

Aries and Libra sit across the zodiac from each other and often feel a strong pull. Aries is direct, quick and independent. Libra is graceful, thoughtful and made for partnership. Each has what the other is missing, which is exciting and, now and then, maddening.

You + them
Send a link to a partner, a friend or family. They add their own details on their own phone, and you both see how you compare.
Anyone who gets the link, and the app you send it with, can read it. To post publicly, share your card instead.

What works
- A strong attraction: Mars rules Aries, Venus rules Libra.
- Libra teaches Aries tact, and Aries teaches Libra to say what they want.
- Both like to begin things, so someone always suggests the next step.
Where you may rub
- Aries decides in a second while Libra weighs every side, and each finds the other's speed hard.
- Aries wants a conflict out in the open now. Libra wants peace, even if it costs some honesty.
Tips for getting along
- Libra, try stating your preference first. Aries loves a clear answer.
- Aries, ask 'what do you think?' before you decide for both of you.
- Give big decisions a set time: Libra gets a day to weigh it, Aries waits that day.
As friends or family
As friends, Aries gets Libra to stop being polite and Libra gets Aries invited to better parties. In families, this pair often plays good cop and bad cop, sometimes on purpose.

- Why are Aries and Libra attracted to each other?
- Each shows the other a side they rarely use: Aries's nerve, Libra's charm. They're also the two equinox signs, at opposite ends of the year, and that contrast feels magnetic.
