Aries and Libra compatibility
Aries + Libra at a glance
Magnetic opposites: opposite signs.
Opposite signs are two ends of the same line. Aries' courage and a quick start and Libra's fairness and grace are mirror images, which creates strong attraction and a sense of completing each other, plus a habit of pulling in opposite directions.
Aries (fire) and Libra (air) traditionally feed each other: air gives fire ideas, fire gives air momentum. Conversations tend to be lively and plans move quickly.
Both are cardinal signs, natural starters. Expect plenty of initiative, and the occasional tug-of-war over who leads.
