Medium

Aries and Pisces are neighbors on the wheel: different element, different rhythm and different polarity. At first it's hard to meet; over time, each shows the other what they don't see.

Aries and Pisces in love

In love there's magnetism and strong emotions: Fire wants action, Water wants depth. They can ignite each other or hurt each other; the key is minding how things are said.

In friendship and work

In friendship and work, one starts and the other adjusts along the way: a good team for projects that change.

Why they get along this way

Element — Steam and transformation. Fire heats Water and Water can put out Fire: magnetism and intensity, with the challenge of regulating the temperature.

Rhythm. Aries is cardinal — inicia — and Pisces is mutable — adapta. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.

Polarity. Aries is Yang and Pisces is Yin: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.

Rulers. Aries is ruled by Mars (action and desire); Pisces, by Neptune and Jupiter (dreams and sensitivity; expansion and meaning).

What each one brings

Aries: initiative and leadership, courage and energy and enthusiasm.

Pisces: intuition, empathy and creativity.

Where they can clash

Aries: impatience, impulsiveness and a tendency toward confrontation.

Pisces: escapism, idealism and dependence.

How to look after the bond

Give yourselves time to get to know each other: what seems incompatible at first is often exactly what the other has to teach.
