The 4 Signs That Are the Worst Match for Aries

Given just how fiery and independent the first sign of the zodiac is, you may wonder about the signs that are the worst match for Aries. It’s important to note that there are no truly incompatible signs of the zodiac, as we are all individuals with varying personalities and needs in a relationship. But astrology may surprise you with what it has to say about your romantic compatibility with other zodiac signs! 

If you’re an Aries born anytime between March 21st and April 19th, which zodiac signs make the least compatible match with you? Utilizing astrology, we will answer this very question and determine why certain signs of the zodiac just can’t get along with the average Aries. Let’s begin by identifying what makes the ram of the zodiac so special in the first place. 

All About Aries, the Ram of the Zodiac

The embodiment of springtime and youth, the average Aries is curious and innocent. As the first zodiac sign, Aries represents independence and individuality, craving freedom and self-expression above many other things in life. Likewise, Aries is connected to the first astrological house, which represents the self and our personalities. 

Mars, a planet of energy, action, and passion, rules Aries. Likewise, Aries is a cardinal fire sign. All these things work in tandem and lend leadership, bravery, and competition characteristics to the average Aries. While incredibly loyal and extroverted, Aries also has bossy and impulsive qualities! 

When we consider the astrological foundations of Aries compared to other signs of the zodiac, we learn that Aries are typically compatible with fellow fire signs and air signs. This isn’t to say that Aries is incompatible with earth and water signs, but these elements operate in very different ways than the average Aries! 

The 4 Signs That Are the Worst Match for Aries

With such a big personality and commandeering energy, Aries can rub certain zodiac signs the wrong way. Here are the four signs that are the worst match for Aries– though remember that all astrological matches are possible and fulfilling in their own ways! 

1. Virgo

While mutable and cardinal signs often get along fairly well with one another, Virgos may struggle with just how bold and inconsistent Aries are. There is an impulsive and spontaneous side to every fire sign, with Aries being particularly representative of this. Virgos are connected to the sixth house of routines and service. They enjoy helping others and being useful in both mundane and consistent ways. 

While fire and earth signs have the possibility of attracting one another, given their oppositional stances, Virgos and Aries have very different goals in mind, more often than not. Virgos long to serve others, while Aries tend to prioritize themselves. Likewise, Virgo’s perfectionistic and day-to-day priorities may not align well with energetic and impulsive Aries! 

2. Taurus

Another earth sign, Taurus, is next to Aries on the astrological wheel. While this often helps with attraction and kinship between the zodiac signs, Aries and Taurus may struggle to see eye to eye. Most of this is rooted in their shared characteristic of stubbornness. Both Aries and Taurus believe that their way of doing things is the right way, which will grate on their long-term relationship. 

Tauruses are incredibly self-possessed individuals representing the second house of possessions and control. While this can be attractive in an Aries-Taurus match, it more often translates as control issues within this pairing. Independent Aries likely won’t appreciate Taurus should they try to control the ram of the zodiac. And Taurus likely won’t appreciate Aries’ fiery stubbornness! 

3. Cancer

Aries and Cancer share a cardinal modality, something that makes both of these zodiac signs long for leadership roles. This is particularly true in a relationship setting. Both Cancer and Aries will vie for control should they enter into a relationship with one another. While this isn’t always a negative quality, Aries and Cancer represent a fire and water match, meaning they communicate differently. 

Cancer and Aries will align well in terms of their loyalty and affection for one another, but these two zodiac signs will struggle when it comes time to talk about what matters to them. This is especially true regarding their emotions. Aries are upfront and brash, while Cancers are subtle and cautious. While these two zodiac signs may be able to make things work, it may prove to be a difficult task! 

4. Aries

Same-sign matches aren’t always incompatible, but two Aries may struggle to make their relationship work. While the similarities between two Aries will draw them to one another, both Aries involved will want to be in control of their relationship. Remember just how independent and bold this zodiac sign is, and consider what might happen should two Aries compete with one another in their relationship! 

Because competition is something that will prevail in an Aries-Aries match. Healthy competition can work for certain astrological pairings, but the power, impulsivity, and obstinacy within this same-sign pairing may prove too great!
