When Aries and Libra come together, the inherent polarity of the
Zodiac is invoked. Aries and Libra are opposite each other in the
Zodiac, 180 degrees apart. Each Sign possesses what the other
lacks, and when combined with Libra's natural harmony this is a
partnership of great balance. The polarity of Aries and Libra can
be defined as Self versus Other, but the differences go beyond
that. Aries and Libra are impulsive versus indecisive, excitable
versus peace-loving, willing to jump right in versus preferring a
calm, smooth approach. When they communicate and work together,
Libra can teach Aries that their own way isn't always the best
way.
Signs of opposite polarity often share a great sexual attraction.
Generally, polar relationships are great when they're good, but
challenging when they're bad. All polarities have energies that
tend to tangle or knot if understandings are not reached. As a
combination, Aries and Libra are well-balanced. Libra is charming
and cultural, and has good manners that take the brashness off
Aries. On the other hand, Aries is far more decisive than Libra,
who may waver. Aries can help their partner make decisions more
easily and be more spontaneous.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Libra is ruled by the
Planet Venus. The two Signs coming together form the basic
foundation of relationships -- love and passion. Venus and Mars
go well together. The symbols are universally recognized as male
and female, so this relationship is a good balance of masculine
and feminine energy. Venus is about beauty of romance, and Mars
is about the passion of romance.
Aries is a Fire Sign and Libra is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and
keeps it going; Libra can work intellectually with the action and
energy of Aries, and both Signs tend to begin new projects. They
just need to learn how to do it together! When they work together
they can do anything, but this can be challenging at times due to
their polarity. Aries' action-oriented approach to projects may
conflict with Libra's more intellectual approach. But both Signs
have wide-ranging interests, and Aries' desire to physically
participate gives them great stories to share with the more
cerebral Libra.
Aries and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. Both partners are
initiators, but they have to work together as a team for their
initiative to come to fruition. Aries will appear to be the
leader because of their energy and forceful nature, but Libra is
also leading from an intellectual standpoint. Both Signs like
being in charge, but Aries gives orders through personal
authority while Libra charms others into doing things. It's
important for both partners to understand compromise. Libra, able
to see both sides of the argument, can compromise easily, while
Aries may be more unhappy about yielding. Libra may have to give
in more often to their partner's wishes in order to keep the
peace that they so cherish.
The best aspect of the Aries-Libra relationship is 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 partners. Each partner brings to the
relationship what the other is missing, so theirs is a highly
balanced relationship.
