Aries and Pisces Compatibility

Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac and Aries the first, so this semi-sextile joins the end of the cycle to its beginning. Mutable water sits next to cardinal fire. Pisces tends to blur edges and Aries to define them. Although they are neighbours on the wheel, their view of the world differs about as much as two adjacent signs can.

Are Aries and Pisces compatible?

They can be, gently. All three scores are even and moderate: adjoining signs start low, and fire and water each add a point. The picture is of a pair with real tenderness who need to learn each other’s very different ways of handling conflict.

• Chemistry 6/10
• Communication 6/10
• Long-term 6/10

How the scores are worked out: neighbouring signs (a semi-sextile) start at 5, 5 and 6 for chemistry, communication and long-term ease. Aries’s fire adds a point of chemistry and Pisces’s water adds a point to the lowest score, communication. Overall: 6/10, which the Codex calls “Rewarding work”.

What attracts Aries and Pisces?

Around Pisces, Aries often feels capable and heroic, and Pisces in turn feels defended and taken seriously. Pisces’s imagination takes some of the hardness out of Aries, and Aries’s confidence encourages Pisces to act on a dream instead of only holding it.

Where do Aries and Pisces clash?

Aries can be blunt to the point of harshness, and Pisces tends to be hurt without saying so. Pisces may sidestep an argument by going quiet or vague, which Aries can mistake for evasiveness. Without meaning to, Aries may roll straight over a partner who never objected aloud.
