Article: If you're not a sign that naturally gets along well with Aries, explain these differences to your partner when conflict arises. That way, you can shift the focus to your respective personalities and emotional requirements and keep situations from growing heated. Discuss what you have in common and where you differ early on, so that you have an idea of what to expect from one another in the future. Fire signs like Aries (which also includes Leo and Sagittarius) tend to form the strongest bonds with air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and other fire signs, so if you're a water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) or earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), you may discover that your Aries interest possesses characteristics that clash with your own. When talking about your differences, frame the conversation in such a way that each of you are presenting constructive elements of your personality that the other might lack and find comforting in a relationship. If you're not a fire sign yourself, you may find it difficult or uncomfortable to open up about what you need from a relationship. You won't have to worry about this with an Aries. They are by nature frank, sincere people, and will appreciate your directness. Since it can be a challenge to always know what your partner needs, it's best when you can establish grounds for talking about these matters openly and avoid a lot of frustrating guesswork. Be extremely clear about what it is you need to feel comfortable in the relationship. It may be that the two of you will just be too different to meet all of each other's needs, but if you make these needs known in unambiguous terms, an Aries' action-driven character should be motivated to find ways of caring for them. Aries love to make plans and embark on new projects, but aren't always the best at following through with them. If you're a planner, use that organization to encourage and concentrate your Aries partner's innate penchant for getting the ball rolling. Whether you're thinking about moving in together or just deciding on a place to eat, you should use cool rationale to keep an Aries' impulsive urges from leading to decisions that never get off the ground. This goes back to not letting your Aries partner become a tyrant when it comes to control. Make sure you're involved in the decision-making process. An Aries' almost blind determination to undertake new tasks can be a great benefit when it comes to getting things done as long as they're not allowed to abandon the task whenever a distraction comes to mind. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that no matter how accurately an Aries' moods and actions reflect the kind of traits represented by their sun sign, nobody can be distilled down to a simple collection of behavioral characteristics. Despite your habits, you're both individuals, and should strive to view and treat each other on an individual level of respect and consideration. Talk things out, keep an open mind and work continually on compromise and the two of you will enjoy one another for a long time to come.
