Aries & Aquarius Compatibility

Aries and Aquarius: the astrological aspect
Sextile (two signs apart). A sextile links signs of compatible elements (Fire with Air, Earth with Water). It is a friendly, easy aspect: ideas and opportunities flow, and each sign naturally supports the other's strengths. The connection is warm but may need some intentional effort to deepen into passion.
A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them, a useful division of labor. Friction appears if the Cardinal partner feels held back or the Fixed partner feels pushed.
