Cosmic Love Match

My birthday is September 27, making me a Libra, and Mat's is April 16, making him an Aires. I've always been into horoscopes, so when Mat and I first began dating, I checked out our Astrological charts to see if we were a match, and to my initial surprise, we're polar opposites on the Zodiac, but that makes us a perfect match.

Libras are represented by the Scales and ruled by Venus, the Goddess of Beauty, while Aires is ruled by Mars, the God of War, and represented by the Ram. Call it cosmic or mythic, but when archetypes like these meet, something magical happens. Mostly because these two signs are so true to their achetypes, Aires and Libra quickly become enamored and consumed by one another.

Their compatibility is due to the sheer fun these two have together. Aires is daring and bold; always ready for excitement, and Libra is the perfect compliment and audience to Aires' antics. As a combination, they're well balanced. The charming Libra prizes harmony in a relationship and will go to great lengths to maintain it. Aires is very decisive and can teach indecisive Libra to rely more on intuition for answers.

Both tend to be active, dynamic, mobile and assertive. These signs each lead something of a charmed life, and are usually positive, competitive, flamboyant, and life affirming people. Despite these similarities, there are differences between these two opposites, but opposites do attract.

Like any old saying, there is much truth to this. When Aires, the fiery Ram, rushes to embrace the polar opposite sign of Libra, the Scales, Mars and Venus come together in a passionate encounter. Libras can be swept up by Aires delight in new adventure. But will the adventure last? 

All signs point to yes! When Aires and Libra team up, the intrinsic polarity of the Zodiac is invoked. Each sign possesses qualities that the other lacks. Aires is a Fire sign and Libra is an Air sign, both idealists and romantics. Air feeds Fire, so Libra will admire the independent Aires and his decisive action, while Aires is drawn to Libra's style and love of cooperation.

The stars dare Aires to be a pioneer, a champion, and a doer. To really thrive, Libra needs to be part of a loving, committed marriage. Both signs like to start things and take initiative. Each are restless, energetic, outgoing, and ambitious. They both tend to be more busy than bored.

Ruled by the Planets of Passion and Love, respectively, Venus and Mars go well together as they're the two sides of the love relationship coin. They're universally recognized as male and female and this relationship is a good balance of masculine and feminine energy. Venus is about the beauty of romance while Mars is about the passion of romance. 

 This twosome are so terrific for each other they're bliss to behold. The Aires/Libra combination will be at its best when joined by common interests and concerns. Such a bond will allow each to see the value of the opposite view their partner contributes.   

This exciting match is destined for greatness and longevity, as long as each remembers their partner has the key to the problem. Without trust and reliance, Fire and Air will be all flash and dazzle until they fizzle out, so learn to rely on and trust one another. Then nothing will hold the Aires and Libra couple back.
