Aries and Aries Compatibility

“Two people who both go first, discovering there is only one first.”

Aries and Aries make a conjunction in the Western zodiac, scoring 73 out of 100. That is the tie between the two signs themselves, before anything else about either person is taken into account.

The Reading · Conjunction

Two Ariess, standing on the same square of the wheel.

Two Aries is the fastest household in the zodiac and the one with the least deliberation in it. Both of you decide at the speed of instinct, both of you would rather be wrong on Tuesday than careful until Friday, and neither of you has ever understood the appeal of sleeping on it. What this produces is a life with an unusual amount of actual living in it. What it also produces is two people with identical tempers, which flare, spend themselves completely, and leave both parties genuinely puzzled that the other is still cross. Nobody here is the calm one. Nobody here is going to be the calm one, and pretending otherwise is the single most common way this pairing gets itself into trouble.

What works

You move at the same speed, which sounds small and is not. Aries spends a lot of its life waiting for other people to finish considering, and with another Aries that wait simply does not happen. Plans get made and executed in the same afternoon. Neither of you takes bluntness personally, so a conversation that would wound almost any other pairing passes between you as ordinary information. And you both forget fights completely, not as a discipline but because holding onto one would require going back over it, and going back over things is not what either of you does.

Where it snags

Competition arrives uninvited and attaches itself to everything, including things that cannot be won. Neither of you yields, so a disagreement about a restaurant becomes a matter of principle within about ninety seconds. The bigger cost is quieter: two people who both start things and neither of whom finishes them accumulate an alarming number of half-built projects, unfinished rooms and businesses that had one very good month. Somebody has to be dull enough to do the second half, and if neither of you volunteers, nothing you begin together will ever be finished by either of you.

Two fire signs: bright, fast, loud, and jointly incapable of leaving the last word alone.

Two cardinal signs: you both start things. Deciding who gets to start this one is the entire negotiation.

Both signs answer to Mars, which is far more common ground than the angle between them suggests.

A sun sign is half of a reading. Which of the twelve Ancient Zodiac signs each of these two actually carries depends on the year they were born, and the pairing below is where the reading gets specific.
