Aries is
more decisive and direct, but also somewhat more naive
and simple (psychologically speaking), than Pisces. You two
can balance one another nicely. Aries depends on Pisces'
sensitivity and gentleness to soothe, heal, and provide a
sanctuary from the world of competing and achieving. Pisces,
on the other hand, admires and probably needs Aries'
forthrightness, honesty, and willingness to act boldly.
Pisces is
more of a giver, and can be very self-denying, while Aries
is self-absorbed, and can unintentionally take advantage of
Pisces' generosity. Aries also lacks tact and subtlety
sometimes, and inadvertently wounds Pisces' tender feelings.
Your
instinctive emotional responses and emotional needs are so
different that quite often you rub each other the wrong way
or cause offence to one another unintentionally.
Aries has
an eager, active, take-charge attitude that is somewhat
abrasive to Pisces, who is gentle, receptive, very sensitive
and rather passive.
Aries is
direct and confrontational, and can be quite irritated with
Pisces' vagueness, over-sensitivity, and tendency to seek
escape or avoid conflict. Aries is somewhat volatile and
needs to express anger and other emotions rather than
bottling them up. Once released, Aries forgets these
outbursts rather quickly, but Pisces is often left feeling
hurt or upset by the disruption. Pisces craves peace,
tranquillity, and a sort of idyllic environment.
Also,
Pisces has a strong need for closeness and sympathy, and is
often very dependent on loved ones, while Aries prefers to
be (or at least acts) self-reliant and independent. Pisces
is extremely flexible and adaptable and often unfocused or
unclear about personal direction, and Aries may dominate or
take advantage of Pisces' willingness to give and bend.
Being
together will bring many changes into your lives. You'll
become more progressive, more open to experimentation and
new ideas, more adventurous and less conventional. You'll
foster one another's freedom and autonomy, and develop a
relationship that may look odd to other people, but which
truly fits your own needs and authentic selves. What may
have seemed radical or too far out to you, now will become
quite easy for you to accept.
The more
the two of you cooperate with the impulse towards newness
and "nowness" (letting go of the need to maintain the
familiar, or cling to preconceived expectations), the better
and more smooth your relationship will be. One of the
purposes of the two of you coming together is to open you
both to new ways of expressing yourselves and understanding
the world.
Vigorous
debates and intellectual sparring will inevitably play a key
role in your relationship. What you might try to convey
tactfully in other circumstances, you will state directly
and unequivocally with each other. This can lead to numerous
arguments and disputes, not so much due to deep differences
of opinion but simply due to the way you both communicate
with one another.
Both of
you are warmly affectionate, passionate, expressive
creatures and you need the flame of romance to be burning
brightly in your lives in order to be happy. Physical
love-making is extremely important to both of you, an
essential aspect of your vitality and self-expression.
Fortunately, you have in one another a companion who is as
ardent as you are.
This is a
passionate relationship, but also a rather aggressive and
combative one at times. Sex may be a bit rough, crude, or
insensitive as well. You stimulate each other both in sexual
and non-sexual ways, but you are also inclined to irritate
each other. As long as you don't end up fighting and
competing with each other, you can accomplish a great deal
together. However, the aggressiveness of this relationship
is prone to foster anger and hurt feelings - so be careful
not to incite hostility in each other.
