Pisces
Feb 19 – Mar 20
Aries and Pisces are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile)
Neighbors with different styles
Aries is direct, Pisces is gentle. Aries can be protective and Pisces brings imagination, but Aries must handle Pisces's sensitivity with care.
Why: the angle between Aries and Pisces
Aries and Pisces are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile). Neighboring signs differ in element, modality and polarity. Each sign is traditionally seen as a reaction to the one before it, so you can learn a lot from each other, but your instincts rarely line up on their own.

Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Fire and Water create steam: intense attraction, intense reactions. Directness can hurt a sensitive partner, and moods can dampen enthusiasm, so gentleness matters.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign sets the direction and a Mutable sign adapts and fills in the details.
Polarity. One active (Fire or Air) and one receptive (Earth or Water) sign: your basic energies complement rather than mirror each other.

Go beyond Sun signs
Two Aries–Pisces couples can be completely different, because compatibility depends on the whole chart: how your Moons, Venus and Mars connect, and your Ascendants if you know your birth times. Compare your full charts
