Relations with other element signs

Sun Aspects

An aspect is simply the relationship between two planets along the 360 degree circle of the horoscope. Because the ruling planet is within the rising sign, in this case Aries, we may determine the compatibility Arians share with other zodiac signs, simply by measuring the difference between the two rising signs.


The Conjunction A Sign which varies less then 10 degrees apart from Aries, for example, another Aries, or a Taurus/ Pisces if the two individuals have both been born on the same zodiac cusp. These two will have a strong and powerful effect upon one another, which may be very beneficial, however be weary of allowing the focus to become too intense.

The Trine A Sign which varies between 112 degrees and 129 degrees apart from Aries, for example, Sagittarius and Leo. These signs all fall under the same fire element. This creates a favorable and most harmonious union, bringing advantage and ease. Just do not allow your relationship to grow weak and lazy.

The Opposition A Sign which varies between 172 degrees and 189 degrees apart from Aries, for example, the Libra. This is unharmonious. Opposition brings strain, discordance, or separation. However opposition is seen as a challenge to grow and achieve.

The Sextile A Sign which varies between 52 degrees and 69 degrees apart from Aries, for example, Gemini and Aquarius. These two are quite harmonious and favorable, bringing opportunity though not without a little hard work between the two to match one's fault with the other's strength.

The Square A Sign which varies between 82 degrees and 99 degrees apart from Aries, for example, Cancer and Capricorn. This relationship will be both challenging and stressful, caused by obstacles the square places in order to teach important lessons. By overcoming difficulties strength in character and motivation to succeed may be established.

Any signs not mentioned in this section are not considered practical unions due to conflicting nature and tendencies between the two competing signs. However if more information is needed, These Aspects may be translated into comparing the planets in your horoscope with another persons planets. By comparing the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter of your two horoscopes, a more detailed account of the relationship may be established.

Sexuality

The Arian loves to make love, not have sex. Suprising, but true, they got to have deep feelings for their mate. Aries sexuality is driven, powerful and almost a feat of showmanship when they are truly captivated. The more appreciated they feel the more they invest in their lovemaking and private boundaries exist only to give an Aries something to leap over. Marathons of passion, spontaneous liaisons in the most unexpected places and inexhaustible stamina are all part of the Aries basic sexual make-up.

Exaltation

Aries, by reason Mars, a sterill planet hath that for his house, and the Sun for Exaltation, is rather a Sign of Barrennesse than otherwise.
