couple leaning on each other on a city street aries compatibility

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Mars — the planet associated with passion and sexuality. Aries is known for being brave, courageous, and confident — qualities which come naturally for this fiery sign. Aries' are natural trailblazers in any niche or industry they enter. They will not settle for anything less than excellence!

Aries tends to find companionship with those born under other fire signs and air signs who share similar energetic and enthusiastic characteristics, who can match Aries' energetic, extrovert nature, and are open to adventure. Aries tends to avoid partners that are too passive and seek an adventurous partner instead.

Leos make excellent partners for Aries because they understand their competitive and impulsive personalities better than most other star signs. But how well does Aries fit with other zodiac signs? Let's dive in to our Aries compatibility rankings.

Best Matches for Aries Compatibility:

Aries is a passionate fire sign who seeks partners who share this trait. Aries loves people who are direct when communicating and won't go around hiding their true feelings when sharing emotions; Aries places great value in finding individuals with whom they can share an intimate connection that are equally honest when opening up about themselves and sharing feelings. Honesty is especially valued in romantic relationships where Aries desires honest reciprocation from loved ones.

Aries shares excellent compatibility with fire signs like Leo and Sagittarius, as well as air signs such as Libra and Gemini. These individuals know how to address Aries' dominant and sometimes aggressive nature while helping them bring out their best qualities.

Aries should seek out someone with similar passions — someone who shares their excitement for adventure and new experiences, such as high adrenaline activities or competitive sports that excite them and who brings out their best qualities in others. Aries also appreciates partners who can keep pace with them in this fast-paced world they inhabit — this makes a good match between Aries and someone they find equally captivating!

Worst Matches for Aries

Aries tends to clash poorly with earth signs like Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces as these people don't fully appreciate Aries' warrior tendencies and quick actions. Additionally, Virgo may not work well due to being too detail-oriented and may inhibit Aries from taking immediate actions when needed.

Aries the Ram is known for being confident and courageous, yet these traits can be dangerous when applied in relationships. Without being channeled properly, their assertiveness can turn destructive while their quick temper often leads to explosive fights. Aries is known for being highly active so finding someone compatible is essential if they wish to ensure lasting partnership.

That is why they make such strong allies with Leo and Sagittarius; both passion-fueled fire signs enjoy creating plenty of physical intimacy as well! There will always be plenty of chemistry between these individuals!

Earth signs like Virgo and Capricorn tend to prefer work over play, creating friction due to differing views on money and privacy issues. Furthermore, their differing approaches towards money and privacy could cause further tensions. They're incompatible with one another when it comes to long-term commitment as Aries may be inclined to quickly switch partners while Capricorn tends to take it slowly with relationships. Cancerians do not share Aries' passion for living in the present; as a result, disagreements and lack of mutual respect could soon drive this couple apart.

But passionate relationships still form between these zodiac signs if they can find ways to balance their differences and overcome ego clashes; so long as both parties remain true to themselves they'll create an enduring and fulfilling partnership.

Gemini and Aries Compatibility

As air signs, Gemini and Aries make excellent companions. Their communication styles mesh well together, and their personalities complement one another well. Both signs share an energetic attitude with a passion for adventure, and they socialize frequently together, enjoying social gatherings with large numbers of people. Their adaptable personalities allow for seamless change management without too much drama along the way.

Gemini and Aries make for a dynamic pairing, sharing both the assertive charm of Aries and Gemini's adaptable energy - creating the ideal pairing for friendship or romance. Both highly intelligent individuals, they'll easily find common ground on issues important to both partners; with each providing endless sources of motivation.

Aries tends to clash with signs that prefer living their lives with more method and caution, leaving Aries frustrated when partners insist on moving slowly through life and refuse to let them live life on their terms. Romantic relationships tend to work best when one partner appreciates Aries' directness and ability to see the big picture.

Sagittarius and Aries Compatibility

Aries is ruled by Mars, who represents initiatives; Sagittarius by Jupiter who governs aspirations and indulgence. They form an excellent combination, understanding each other perfectly with their adventurous spirits and goals-setting approach to life. But they must learn to compromise when necessary in order to maintain a strong partnership in both their personal and professional lives.

Aries needs partners and friends who understand their individuality while leading active lives of their own. Lazy or passive people won't work well for Aries; their perfect pairing would include other fire signs like Libra (sometimes opposites attract!), Sagittarius, or Leo.

These two adventure lovers will find activities they both can enjoy together. Hiking, biking, or spending the day at a water park are great activities they'll share together. No one should feel trapped by being together — instead they'll act as each other's support system and ride or die when needed. They might sometimes make harsh statements out of frustration, but will quickly forgive one another and stay close despite any perceived slights between them. Ultimately both partners are capable of seeing each other's point of view and finding solutions quickly.

Aquarius and Aries Compatibility

Aquarius, the second sign in the zodiac, makes for an exciting and unpredictable relationship that thrives on adventure and excitement. Their sensuality draws both of them in, creating worlds of drama, passion and sensuality together. However, this soulmate pair may fall victim to selfishness on either side of their partnership, so early communication skills learning may be key in keeping things on an even keel.

Both Aries and Aquarius share an exceptional level of compatibility when it comes to friendship. Both personalities tend to be outgoing, good-natured, and appreciate each other's genuine sincerity. Though passionate arguments may arise between them at times, these usually resolve quickly with each party finding resolution quickly. Since both personalities can also be quite impulsive at times, finding someone who appreciates slower pacing in life can help manage these fights more easily.

Both may find difficulty understanding each other's need for tact and diplomacy as well as intellectualizing relationships. To overcome this obstacle they should focus on keeping things fun and playful, while also avoiding serious discussions, practicing regular check-ins, and assuring each other of being vulnerable together will deepen emotional ties. Strengthening emotional connections while helping each other balance adrenaline cravings with healthy doses of relaxation and play is key here!

What's happening astrologically during January 12-19, 2025?

Julio Lopez

Mars, the planet of action, takes center stage this week, influenced by several important transits. Prepare for heightened emotions and increased activity. The week begins with Mars forming a beneficial trine with Neptune, offering an opportunity to tap into intuition and take action guided by inner wisdom. Creativity will flourish, compelling us to produce, create, or invent. Prioritize self-care as the week intensifies, with Mars aligning with both the Sun and Moon. Strive for balance, love, and sensitivity in personal relationships, and practice kindness whenever possible.

Mars will be especially visible on January 13 and 14, moving in front of the full Moon in the eastern sky as the Sun sets. This rare occultation is a striking event, stirring primal energies that could lead to reactive and volatile responses. Avoid irritable or short-tempered individuals, and if you feel reactive, pause to recalibrate. Lean into your intuition and shift towards a more loving approach. With Mars and the Moon in nurturing Cancer, protective instincts for home and family will be strong. However, Mars’ intensity will also influence global events, eliciting deep emotional reactions.

Nikita Korchagin

On January 14, Mars and the Moon form a square with Jupiter, amplifying emotions further. The key to navigating this energy is to maintain balance and draw wisdom from your feelings. Adding to the dynamic is a trine between Uranus and the Sun, introducing abrupt changes and unexpected ideas. This energy supports bold moves, whether you’re contemplating a major life change or standing up for yourself. Stay mindful, as irritability may lead to rash or harsh actions. Mercury in Capricorn sextiles Saturn it's best to carefully and patiently craft a logical plan of action.

On January 19, the Sun moves into Aquarius, beginning a month-long journey through this innovative and humanitarian sign. Initially, the Sun aligns with transformative Pluto, reinforcing opportunities for change. Aquarius encourages intuitive problem-solving and unique solutions. It’s a hopeful, bright energy that highlights community collaboration, intelligence, and freedom. Themes of innovation and collective progress will take the forefront.

Amid the tragedy of the LA fires, neighbors are opening their homes to one another. In addition to AirBnb offering temporary housing and various YMCAs and Red Cross locations opening their doors, victims are finding safety with friends and family — and that includes your favorite celebrities. Like Hilary Duff and husband Matthew Koma, who opened their home to Mandy Moore, Taylor Goldsmith, and their family.

Here's what Mandy Moore and Griffin Goldsmith have said about Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma — and the LA wildfires.

Despite losing everything, Griffin is touched by Hilary Duff & Matthew Koma.

After Mandy Moore and Taylor Goldsmith's home was affected by the wildfires in Altadena (they lost their garage, music studio, and back house), Mandy's brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith revealed the family had been taken in by Hilary Duff.

"All of this so overwhelming," he said on Instagram. "Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward. Not to mention they are currently housing my brother’s family. They’ve taken care of my entire family from the moment this began. I will never be able to thank them adequately. This is the kindest act any human could do for another. They are the most beautiful, selfless people we’ve ever known."

"I’ve never been so moved in my life," he continues. "We are completely blown away. I can’t talk or think about it without crying. Like I said there aren’t words to describe how I feel. I’m doing my best. You all have completely changed what the picture of our future in Los Angeles looks like."

Mandy Moore shared the GoFundMe for Griffin and Kit on Instagram, writing in a since-deleted post that the couple "lost their home and everything they own in the Eaton Fire."

"With their first baby on the way in a matter of weeks, they need our support now more than ever," Mandy says (via People). "Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living. It’s all so much. So many have asked how to help during this unimaginable and stressful time … Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild."

And when people criticized her decision to share the GoFundMe link? "Kindly F OFF."

"People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic," she continues. "Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe and i’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too."

And the main part of Mandy Moore's home is still "mostly intact."

The Princess Diaries actress shared photos from her family's property, revealing that the main part of their home is still standing. "It’s not livable but mostly intact," she said on Instagram January 10. "We lost Taylor and griffin’s studio with every instrument and piece of equipment they’ve ever owned. We lost our garage and back house. Everyone we know lost everything. Every house on our street is gone. My in laws. My brother and sister in law- 6 weeks from welcoming their first baby. Our best friends. Feeling weird survivors guilt. We love this community and will do everything we can to help rebuild and support. Thanks for everyone for checking on us and offering us help. Altadena strong."

Kitchen renovations are no joke – they're a major investment, so you’ll want to think twice before committing to fleeting trends — especially for big-ticket items like cabinets, countertops, and appliances. I’ll admit it: I’m still without a backsplash five years later because I can’t commit! While it’s perfectly fine to follow your heart if you love a particular look, kitchens can quickly feel outdated when you lean too heavily on short-lived fads. To help you create a timeless, stylish space, we’ve rounded up outdated kitchen trends to avoid — and easy ways to modernize if your kitchen is stuck in the past.

Scroll to see if you have these outdated kitchen trends in your house right now!

Mark McCammon

1. All-White Kitchens

The all-white kitchen craze has officially run its course, often feeling cold and sterile — like say a doctor’s office. Today’s kitchens are all about warmth and character, with palettes in soft neutrals, earthy greens, or bold, moody shades like oxblood and midnight blue. Choose a color that speaks to you for a timeless, inviting space you'll love for years to come.

2. Granite Countertops

This early 2000s trend has been overdone and feels so dated now. Marble, sleek quartz, even butcher block are more classic choices.

Curtis Adams

3. Ornate Cabinetry

The color and detail of this traditional kitchen feels drab and dated. Instead, look for flat-panel or Shaker-style cabinets with clean, minimal lines.

Terry Magallanes

4. Farmhouse Decor

This kitchen is a lesson is don'ts. The grey vinyl flooring (especially hideous!), farmhouse stools, and white cabinetry hail from a decades-old trend that needs to disappear in 2025.

Home Depot

5. Glass Mosaic Tiles

Glass mosaics, popular in the 2000s and 2010s, tend to lean toward a transitional aesthetic, which is the opposite of an organic, minimalist, or vintage-inspired design kitchen are craving now. The grout lines are bit difficult to clean too between all the tiny tiles. Zellige tile or a slab of marble are a more sophisticated look for today's kitchens.

Level 23 Media

6. Black & White

The stark contrast between black and white can come across as harsh and overly dramatic, a look that peaked in the 2010s. The farmhouse sign doesn't help warm it up either. Soften the look with earthy, natural tones.

Curtis Adams

7. Subway Tile

Subway tile is classic, so there’s no need to rip it out if it still brings you joy. However, the white subway tile paired with dark grout has overstayed its welcome. This overdone trend became so ubiquitous that it lost its charm and individuality, leaving kitchens looking more cookie-cutter than full of character.

Amazon

8. Industrial Lighting

This nod to the past needs to, sorry, stay in the past. Look for organic, natural forms and lighting that reflects your kitchen's unique aesthetic.

Shutterstock

9. Tuscan Style

This rustic kitchen feels dated with its heavy, ornate features like dark wood cabinetry and trim. Go for clean, brighter spaces.

Shutterstock

10. Tile Countertops

Natural stone, marble, and wood are trending for 2025. Grout-filled countertops like this one are not. Time to go!

Max Vakhtbovycn

11. Moroccan Mosaic Tile

Kitchens are becoming elegant places to cook, eat, and gather. This busy design can look cheap. The white mid-century Eames-style chairs, sorry to say, are also out.

Andrea Davis

12. Barn Doors

Using barn doors between the kitchen and other spaces is a look that is officially out. They proved to be not that functional and the look is now dated and too kitschy. Buh bye!

Every January, I commit to a Whole30 month and throughout the year follow the low-carb program for a week or even a day. This year, 2025, I'm going to try to adhere to a low-carb diet all year long. My body just doesn't react well to carbs and it's generally a healthier way to live.
