Answer 1

You are an Aries and you Lover is a Libra

You may have met your alter ego with gentle Libra. When a sign is six months away from you in the zodiac, this means your lover will either complete you or compete with you -- there's nothing in between. My bet is that it's the former with this match. Your autumn-born lover is a master at negotiation because he or she knows exactly how to bring opposing forces together. Unlike impetuous and reckless Aries, Libras like to think problems through objectively and break them down into smaller parts for analysis and resolution. Rarely will a tactless word pass their lips, for this gentle Venus-ruled native is supremely diplomatic. This is why they are such good negotiators and can help others build long-term agreements -- they don't turn people off. Libras are a communicative air sign, never short of new ideas, or things to say. You will always have a bright, lively time together, for their air element will fan the passions of your fire sign.

You are the sign of the individualist, but Libras are interested in working in teams -- theirs is the sign of partnership. This is why Libra is also known as the sign of marriage. Your lover will look for the fair solution, so you need to watch those dictatorial ways of yours, Aries. Libras are almost always happier when married and will usually not leave a relationship unless things turn radically bad. You both have very strong views, but each of you will assert yourself differently. Libra will charm you into submission, or offer to compromise. As an Aries, you tend to terrorize or intimidate your other half in order to win. You see how these different styles could get you into trouble, Aries? You may have to use a light touch with your Libra! Keep in mind that although a Libra's method is more subtle, he or she is no less determined than you are. Libras can even be rather bossy. Yet you might find yourself going along happily with their ideas, not realizing how deftly -- and enchantingly -- your lover used his or her powers of persuasion on you. You could do well to take a leaf from their book, Aries.

In bed, Mars-ruled Aries can be in too much of a hurry. Be sure to slow down and take your time with your Libra. Getting into the proper mood will be important. Watch your language in bed, especially in the beginning. Libra doesn't get turned on by the wham-bam, on-the-waterfront approach. Remember, Libras are ruled by Venus and are attracted to beauty, warmth, and a polished, refined style. Very visual creatures, they like to look their best and hope to see you do, too. Run a comb through your hair and get your shoes polished before you show up for your big night, just to be sure. Even if you've been married for 20 years to a Libra, you can never get sloppy with your looks. Keep that gym membership if you want Libra to keep you. They want to be proud of their spouses and if they are, they will continually get turned-on.

This is a great combination, so enjoy one another. When you mix your rulers, Venus and Mars, you create some of the sexiest possible planetary chemistry between two people, combining the positive aggression of Mars (you) and the erotic love of Venus (them). It doesn't get any more potent than that!

When Aries and Libra come together in a love affair, the inherent polarity of the Zodiac is invoked. Aries and Libra are directly opposite one another in the Zodiac -- 180 degrees apart. Each Sign possesses qualities that the other lacks; combined with Libra's natural yen for harmony, this can be a relationship that enjoys great balance. Aries is the Sign of Self while Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and the differences continue: Aries is impulsive, excitable and ready to jump right into something new and exciting, while Libra is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. Aries can learn from Libra that their own way isn't necessarily the best way.

These two Signs share the great sexual attraction common to all Signs opposite in polarity. At the same time, though this pair's connection is amazing when it's good, it can be extremely challenging when it's bad. All polarities have energies that tend to tangle or knot if understandings can't be reached. As a combination, Aries and Libra are well-balanced. Charming, cultured Libra can teach brash Aries something about style. Libra prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths to maintain it. Aries is very decisive and can teach indecisive Libra about relying on intuition for answers.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. This is a great match, as these are the Planets of Passion and Love, respectively. Venus and Mars go well together as they're the two sides of the love relationship coin. They're universally recognized as male and female and this relationship is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Venus is about the beauty of romance while Mars is about the passion of romance. What a good combination!

Aries is a Fire Sign and Libra is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and helps it grow and spread. Aries can have a very positive effect on Libra's growth, ideas and progress; Aries can help Libra put their ideas into action. Working together can be challenging at times, however, due to their polarity. Aries's fast-paced, impetuous approach to projects may conflict with Libra's more balanced, intellectual approach. However, both Signs have wide-ranging interests, and at the end of a long, active day, Aries can come home full of interesting stories to tell the more cerebral Libra!

Aries and Libra are both Cardinal Signs. They both have a lot of initiative -- but lack in follow-through. They both tend to start things they're never going to finish, whether it's a job, a project, a relationship ... Aries will appear to be the leader because of their energy and forceful nature, but Libra leads from an intellectual standpoint. Both Signs want to be in charge, but Aries uses force and sometimes intimidation to get what they want while Libra uses charm and sometimes manipulation. Compromise is essential to this relationship's health. Diplomatic Libra has a much easier time with compromise than does Aries, who strongly dislikes yielding to another person, viewing it as submission. Libra may have to give in more often to Aries's wishes in order to keep the peace that they so cherish.

What's the best aspect of the Aries-Libra relationship? 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 Signs. Each brings to the relationship what the other is missing, making for a wonderful balance.

Yes, but Aries is the match for straggatrius, it's OK

Answer 4

A basic difference in your personalities is that Libra likes to look at both sides of an issue and consider any situation from every angle. Libra likes to discuss ideas with others, get their opinion, and sometimes has difficulty coming to a definitive decision. Aries is prone to be just the opposite, taking a strong, more one-sided view of a situation and frequently is uninterested in hearing others' point of view. In order for your relationship to work, you will have to reconcile this basic difference in your personalities. Over time, Libra may feel that Aries is a selfish egotist and Aries may feel that Libra is a weak-willed wimp. Obviously, you will need to have greater appreciation and respect for each other than this! Libra makes many more compromises and accommodations for the relationship than Aries does.

The two of you are opposites in many ways and you are each drawn to the qualities in your partner that you lack.

Libra doesn't really feel complete without a love partners, and instinctively knows how to share, blend with, and harmonize with people, while Aries is more self-reliant and assertive, and often rather inconsiderate of others' needs and desires. Aries instinctively takes charge and tends to run the show, while Libra is the conciliator and compromiser in your relationship.

Libra depends a great deal on others' approval, often lacks a strong sense of self or personal direction, and may simply go along with Aries much of the time, for Aries has stronger preferences and less willingness to accommodate a partner's wishes. Libra wants togetherness, while Aries needs time to go off alone and be a free agent sometimes. Also, Aries is rather impulsive and volatile, and is prone to outburst of temper, while Libra is more rational and often avoids unpleasant emotions, especially anger. Therefore, Libra may appear to be the nice, likeable "good guy" in the relationship, while Aries is cast in the role of the trouble maker.

When personal problems arise, Libra wants to discuss them with a counselor or friend, is open to suggestion and others' opinions, and wants to negotiate a fair, equitable solution. Aries is less likely to seek outside help and may have little patience for taking and airing the problem, unless some clear, concrete change results.

Libra embodies many of the characteristics that Aries is seeking in a mate or partner, and Aries finds Libra irresistibly appealing for this reason. Libra is also the polar opposite of Aries in many ways, so that you complement or balance one another very well. However, the very qualities that originally were so attractive may become sources of friction between you. Aries, don't expect Libra to be like you are! One of the gifts Libra ahs for you is to show you "the other side of the coin". For instance, if you are very logical and rational, your partner may have a highly intuitive or poetic mind (or vice versa). Instead of accusing your partner of being irrational or fuzzy-minded, try to appreciate that difference between you.

Sparks fly when you come into contact with one another! Strong feelings of love, attraction, warmth, mutual admiration, and appreciation bring you together, and you are able to express your love feelings openly and fully to one another. You can be great friends and companions as well as lovers.

Sex can be a source of limitless entertainment and attraction for the both of you. Variety in sexual exchange, may cause you both to experiment with lovemaking.

Enchantment, dreamy romanticism, and quixotic vision of one another and yourselves as a couple, will tone your entire relationship. You may try to be your finest selves - the most loving, compassionate, giving and devoted of friends to one another.

Bonding is strong and the two of you are able to work together effectively in achieving goals and objectives. If you share a similar hobby or profession, you can jointly develop creative works of high quality - a result of your combined dedication. As your relationship deepens, you will find that the two of you are able to assist each other immensely in achieving the goals and objectives that are most meaningful and important to you.

Aries often checks or throws a damper on Libra's spontaneous impulses and self-expression, which is frustrating to Libra, and can be a source of resentment if it continues for too long. Aries makes Libra question and doubt Libra's actions which can be a good thing in small doses, especially if Libra tends to be rash or foolhardy. However, Aries must avoid becoming a "heavy" in Libra's life, always the nay-sayer or disciplinarian
