In marriage and partnerships Aries like those who are more passive, gentle, tactful and diplomatic - people who have the social grace and skills they sometimes lack. Our partners always represent a hidden part of ourselves - a self that we cannot express personally.

An Aries tends to go after what he or she likes aggres­sively. The tendency is to jump into relationships and marriages. This is especially true if Venus is in Aries as well as the Sun. If an Aries likes you, he or she will have a hard time taking no for an answer; many attempts will be made to sweep you off your feet.

Though Aries can be exasperating in relationships - espe­cially if they are not understood by their partners - they are never consciously or wilfully cruel or malicious. It is just that they are so independent and sure of themselves that they find it almost impossible to see somebody else's view­point or position. This is why an Aries needs as a partner someone with lots of social grace.

On the plus side, an Aries is honest, someone you can lean on, someone with whom you will always know where you stand. What he or she lacks in diplomacy is made up for in integrity. Read also Aries characteristics
