Strengths as a Couple
Despite their many differences, Libra and Aries at least have a couple of strengths that they can use to make sure the relationship is as smooth sailing as it can ever be. The first of these is that they have a rare capacity to work together as a team without much fuss.
The reason behind this is that they’re both cardinal signs, which means they are great at leading each other and initiating ambitious projects together. Should they decide to dedicate themselves to losing weight or even working together in a company, they’ll be sure to finish up on their quotas with extra time to spare, giving them room for more intimate moments.
Not only that, but the very idea of working together could also serve as an intimate moment. In other words, they have the capacity to become closer simply by being engaged in any activity involving teamwork.
Secondly, they complete each other in the personality department. Aries is a driven individual, passionate, and full of life, making them highly suitable in teaching Libra the ways of the world and all its joys. They have a unique capacity to get them out of their theoretical shell by making them do things that they wouldn't normally do.
On the other hand, Libras and their intellectualism can fully persuade their Aries partners to dedicate more of their time to exploring intellectual matters such as politics and the like, making them more aware of the world around them.
As such, both partners should focus on trying to fill the gaps within each other’s personalities in order to make the most of their relationship.
Weaknesses as a Couple
Sadly, Libra and Aries aren’t known to usually stick together. Their infamous reputation for being the complete opposites to one another is usually enough to prevent this kind of partnership, but if both signs wish to pursue this relationship regardless, here are a couple of things you should know.
First, both signs have an unfortunate tendency to step on each other’s toes. Aries is known for being an overbearing personality, ready to show their full emotions to the fray at any time and always ready to speak their mind whenever the situation so demands-- and even then they’re not above looking beyond formalities to state their point.
This is in stark contrast with Libra, whose hatred for emotional moments is obvious due to their association with the wind element. To them, the last thing they want is someone mouthing another person off or seeing others involve themselves with other people's lives. In other words, they specifically hate gossip, and the overbearing attitude that is Aries is so known for, and if the latter do so enough times, it could lead to an actual problem.
Lastly, Libras also have problems with the proud nature of Aries. Because they’re extremely adaptable and very good at thriving when change comes along, they may find Aries’ uncompromising nature extremely irritating, creating roadblocks within the relationship and further complicating the communication between the two signs.
Hence, because of how fundamentally different the two signs are, it only makes sense for them to come up with their own rules as a couple to make sure they don’t overlap each other’s judgment.
Compatibility
Romance
Due to their similarity in status as cardinal signs, their romantic compatibility is certainly promising. Aries, by default, is the epitome of passion and sexual drive, and Libras represent the wind and their tendency to receive and even fuel the Fire within other areas.
This effectively means that sex for them is a matter of bonding; the mating of their physical bodies represents an emotional and spiritual union for these two signs, making it an especially crucial tool in keeping the relationship together. As an added bonus, both signs have a love for trying out new things, so the sexual experience is certainly going to be varied and full of life.
All of this means that the romantic experience is going to be great both in quality and quantity. Making use of this fact is, therefore, crucial to keep the relationship going.
Activities
In terms of activities they can do together, both are also on the positive. By default, the Fire element that is the Aries loves to initiate new things, and since Aries is very receptive to brand new ideas and concepts, they'll be sure to listen to whatever ideas Aries has to offer.
In addition to this, both personalities are driven to ensure that goals are achieved, and quotas met, so it would be highly beneficial for these two signs to come together and work on something that has a goal in mind, especially those oriented to the long term.
Lastly, they're also not above taking a rest after a long day's work, so when the Fire starts to settle, Libras will want to introduce more relaxing activities to their Aries counterparts, such as watching movies together on the couch, reading a book, or even gardening together and watching their plants grow incrementally.
Communication
Among all the aspects of compatibility, this area suffers the most from the differences between both Libra and Aries. Primarily, this is due to them belonging to different elements: the fiery Aries has a reputation for trying to grind their opponents’ arguments to dust.
They are not scared to look for a challenge or even pick fights themselves, especially if they're in the right. They're extremely assertive and require little to no reason to engage in a verbal scuffle concerning their deepest emotions.
On the other hand, Libras have a propensity to ignore or even avoid emotional matters altogether, preferring to keep their deepest insecurities hidden or unleashed in the most subtle ways. As a result of this, both sides will have tremendous difficulty trying to reach each other emotionally.
However, there is hope for both signs, and this lies within Libra’s love for diplomacy. By default, Libras love to settle conflicts, and if they can think of the matter as a new way for them to try and resolve a fresh new problem, they should be able to connect.
Similarly, Aries are highly passionate individuals, which means that for all the rage that comes with being at the heat of the moment, they ultimately know who they love most. As such, both sides will need to remind each other of their mutual feelings when problems occur.
Values
In terms of intellectual values, both are actually quite compatible, although there are some differences which both signs will need to manage together. On the surface, the compatibility lies in the fact that both signs are goal-oriented. The moment they determine that a plan is foolproof, they’ll pursue it to its conclusion all the way, supporting each other.
However, disagreements can appear in terms of how they manage problems. For Libras, necessity requires innovation, so if they deem that a phase of the plan no longer works, they will get rid of it without any questions or discussion.
Aries, however, don’t feel exactly the same way: when a plan is decided, they will pursue it no matter the cost, much like a fire that continually burns until a spot is perfectly scorched.
This underlying problem may seem small at first, but because they define a part of their relationship, it will naturally impact other parts of it, such as communication and emotion. This makes management the paramount focus of a relationship like this.
Emotions
One of the unfortunate problems that come with the union between Libra and Aries is that of emotional friction. Aries are well known for being highly expressive individuals, preferring to speak their minds. If someone commits an offense to them, they will gladly call them out, be it as a matter of expressing rage, or simply to get them to apologize.
By contrast, while Libras are known for being good with compromise, the way there is often tough since they often fail to notice the emotions of the other signs, whether intentionally or unintentionally. They hate it when people do anything to spark conflict, and unfortunately, sometimes expressing one's emotion can be considered a catalyst for it.
In other words, both sides will need to heavily make compromises: Aries has to adapt to Libra’s desire to avoid sensitive matters, while Libras need to express more compassion in times of distress. Once they are able to get out of each other’s comfort zones, the relationship’s stability will be guaranteed.
Healing Crystals for Libra and Aries
Lapis Lazuli
Although Libra is known to be the best communicator out there, Aries simply isn't the type of laying it all out before even beginning. Eager to jump right away, Aries will love to feel it out instead of talking it over. This poses a great challenge to Libra as their tendency to ignore feelings altogether can affect the way these two exchange words.
With that, Lapis Lazuli is definitely the perfect healing crystal. I'd be a bit overboard to say but just to stress things out, they can practically miss out on other crystals except this one, due to 3 important qualities: its ability to bring truth on the level of spirituality and promote honesty, friendship, and sociability on the subconscious level, which in turn, translates to both signs being able to accept the truth on the conscious level.
Given such qualities, this healing crystal will definitely uplift the relationship between Libra and Aries. By helping them communicate in ways that transcend their differences, they can begin building the bridge to the possibility of using their weaknesses in their own favor.
Carnelian
As one of their main challenges, Aries and Libra struggle with their shared activities. Often limited to the bedroom, this lack of passion can lead to dryness and boredom, even for both cardinal signs. With their failure to align what they want to do, they will end up feeding only their individual passions.
Known as the Stone of Creativity, Carnelian is the perfect solution in addressing the lack of doable activities between couples. As this crystal can squeeze out their dormant creative juices, such push can lead them to arrive at new ways to do the same old things in their relationship.
Furthermore, this healing crystal is also known to boost willpower. Replacing a lack of passion with courage and determination, its natural properties will propel both to eventually work it out.
By wearing it as a bodily ornament or simply including it in their household decorations, this crystal can begin working its own magic!
Onyx
Although these two signs are known to have above-average compatibility, their misguided enthusiasm and eagerness make them prone to miscommunication and conflicts. Taking unnecessary detours due to their inability to match their wants and needs in a relationship, Libra and Aries will struggle even with the slightest of negativity around them.
With that, Onyx is definitely the perfect healing crystal for them. Known to be a powerful protection stone, Onyx wards off all the unwanted negative energies around us. Like an ancient totem that protects us from evil spirits, this healing crystal can block almost all sorts of negativity that can drain one’s personal energy.
On top of that, it also brings wise decision-making skills to inner self-discipline. Aiding in the cultivation of positive skills from the inside, its two-pronged approach is perfect for a holistic kind of development.
