When Aries and Pisces form a friendship, their relationship is often mutually beneficial. Aries is a strong Sign who follows impulses without worrying about the consequences. Pisces is quieter, one of the dreamers of the Zodiac. In many ways, they contrast and on the surface may seem an unlikely alliance. When they combine in a close, friendly way, though, they are each able to balance each other.

Aries is a leader and initiator, and in a friendship with Pisces often becomes the protector of their more gentle comrade. Pisces, in turn, gives Aries quiet understanding and relaxation from the pressures of Aries’ hectic life. Pisces is a Sign that, like Water, fills whatever container it is poured into; they often understand Aries in a way that many other Signs don’t. Aries’ style of straight- shooting combines with Pisces’ gentle understanding of other people to form a confidence and assertiveness that doesn’t pass into arrogance — the way Aries alone might act — and isn’t overly accommodating, like Pisces alone may be.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars, and Pisces is ruled by the Fixed Jupiter. Pisces is also ruled by Neptune. Mars brings action and energy to the Aries-Pisces friendship. Neptune is about the big picture, ideas and illusions; but it’s also involved with disillusion and fantasy. Aries can help Pisces bring dreams into reality. Jupiter works through Pisces by putting a softer face on Aries’ sometimes rash and brash style, toning it down.

Aries is a Fire Sign, and Pisces is a Water Sign. Even though these two elements are opposite, they can combine to make a great team by using emotion and physical impetus to get things done. Pisces can help Aries relax a little and learn to be more passive in approach, while Aries teaches Pisces to go out into the world and begin to take the kinds of risks that make life more exciting. At times, Pisces can be emotionally draining for the Ram, too much Water dampening Aries’ fiery enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire can boil the Water away and leave Pisces stressed-out. Aries and Pisces must cooperate to ensure their balance is maintained.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign, and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Unlike Aries, Pisces doesn’t need to be the leader or the boss; when they are asked to help out with any of their Aries friend’s ideas or plans, they’re more than happy to lend a hand, as charitable as they are. Pisces receive their greatest joy from helping others. Aries, on the other hand, is the one who comes up with the ideas in the first place and assigns the roles to everyone else. Different aptitudes and interests help Aries and Pisces work toward a shared goal and and achieve a positive end.

The best aspect of the Aries-Pisces friendship is that they really have a lot to learn from each other. Pisces shows Aries how to empathize; Aries teaches Pisces how to make dreams happen rather than just thinking about them! The ability to each provide what the other needs makes theirs a truly reciprocal friendship.

When Aries and Pisces come together in a love match, they can be very good for one another. Aries is a strong Sign; they are almost completely prey to their impulses, which they follow without a second thought to the outcome or possible consequences. Dreamy Pisces is much quieter and more internally-focused; they’re the Poets of the Zodiac. On the surface an Aries and a Pisces may seem an unlikely pair, but when there’s love involved, they can truly fulfill one another’s needs. Pisces is very intuitive, both as a person and as a lover; Aries must take care to return this favor so Pisces won’t begin to see their Aries partner as stingy and selfish.

Aries is a leader with tons of initiative. When Aries finds someone attractive they’ll launch the pursuit without a second thought. When the ‘prey’ is gentle Pisces, Aries tends to take on the role of protector. The funny thing is, Pisces is the real protector, as the intuitive, deeply understanding partner who provides a relaxing sort of refuge for hectic Aries. Pisces is a Water Sign; they can fill any container, so to speak. They are so giving and empathetic that sometimes they can become something of a doormat — they give themselves completely to their partners, and if their partner can’t do the same, trouble may result. Pisces understands Aries in a deeper way than most other Signs do, so this can help alleviate this type of problem: Pisces knows how to keep Aries from becoming overly brash or rash. Together they form a dynamic team when they combine Aries’s directness with Pisces’s intuitive understanding of other people.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars (Passion) and Pisces is ruled by the Planets Jupiter (Luck) and Neptune (Illusions). Mars brings passionate action to Neptune’s dreamlife. Aries helps Pisces bring their fantasies into reality. Jupiter lets Pisces help Aries tone down their overt style of operation.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Pisces is a Water Sign. Though these opposite elements can sometimes create trouble for one another (Fire makes Water evaporate, Water douses Fire). However, they can combine to make a great team: Pisces can help Aries relax a little and learn listen to others’ feelings, while Aries teaches Pisces to get out into the world and take the kinds of risks that lead to real payoff. This is an effective lesson for Pisces, who definitely has the brain power to figure out which risks are good ones to take and which are best left alone. Aries and Pisces must simply negotiate to ensure their balance is maintained.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Pisces is a Mutable Sign. Unlike Aries, Pisces doesn’t need to be the leader or ‘on top.’ They enjoy lending a hand when they’re needed, but certainly don’t need to direct a project — a good thing, since Aries needs that position for themselves. Together these two Signs can achieve a positive end to any project they decide to undertake. What’s the best aspect of the Aries-Pisces relationship? They really have a lot to learn from each other. Pisces shows Aries how to empathize and care; Aries teaches Pisces how to make dreams happen rather than just thinking about it! Theirs is a truly reciprocal relationship.
