When it comes to the love languages of an Aries, passion, excitement, and a little bit of danger are the bread and butter of a successful relationship.

As the first sign of the Zodiac these rams tend to be pretty independent, and yet they have a deeply romantic nature.

Aries is a fire sign, so the prospect of love is something that fires them up.

Your sun sign dictates your values and foundational characteristics, so an Aries sun is someone who is an industrious, entrepreneurial, and pretty punk rock when it comes to going against the standards of modern life. They are happiest when they are in control of their life and free from obligations, but that doesn’t negate how much they love being in love, it just means they prefer to love without limitations.

Acts of service are a necessary part of any partnership, it’s important to show your partner that they can rely on you to help out in good times and bad. Aries suns are fiercely independent but sometimes the minutiae of life is too much for them to handle, so it might be a good idea to ask if you can help them get on top of their chores or clean their apartment when they’ve gotten themselves too frazzled.

Your moon sign relates to how you prefer to be nurtured as well as your overall mood throughout your life. Aries moons will feel their feelings fully, robustly, and yet move through those big feelings quickly. They transmute their emotions quite fast, so they may be irritated one minute and totally at peace the next!

Quality time is an important part of romantic love, but not all quality time is created equal. For an Aries moon person, the time spent together needs to be honest, expressive and maybe even a little on the exciting/dangerous side. Aries has a flare for adrenaline and a penchant for brutal honesty, so you’ll have to be able to keep up with their energized spirit if your love is going to last. Try planning thrill-seeking dates like white water rafting, axe throwing or doing an escape room.

Your Mercury sign tells you about how you think and process information, as well as your particular style of communication. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries Mercury tends to talk first and think later. They are passionate and can often be quite loud, but they are also big, charming goofballs at the end of the day.

We’ve heard it said time and time again that communication is the cornerstone of a good relationship, but comprehension is the secret second step that is needed. An Aries Mercury person says exactly what they’re thinking and feeling, so it’s important to take what they say for face value. At the same time, you’ll want to make sure that you are being honest (read: passive aggression will not work with on them) and say exactly what’s on your mind as well.

Venus is the planet of love and beauty, so our Venus signs tell us about what attracts us to other people. Venus in Aries falls in and out of love quickly, they live for that enticing spark of love and romance but tend to run away as soon as that spark fades out. They are romantic people, but they won’t sacrifice their time or freedom for anything that isn’t fun and sexy.

Venus rules over gifts since it is the planet to look to when you want to understand someone’s tastes better. Aries Venus prefers gifts that are fun and even useful. For example, many Aries Venus’ will moon over getting a switchblade or any kind of knife as a gift. They also don’t usually care about the price tags, free or cheap items will make them just as happy as something super expensive.

Mars is the planet of sex and war; it is about our primal desires and instincts. Mars also happens to be the ruling planet of Aries, so people with this placement have a great source of energy to use at their disposal. They tend to be fierce competitors, enticing leaders, free thinkers, rebels and revelers. When it comes to sex their appetite is almost insatiable!

Physical affection creates deeper emotional bonds in a relationship. The love language of physical touch is not specifically about sex but instead pertains to all the small and large gestures or physical connection and closeness that we can give one another. Aries Mars has a kind of rough-and-tumble energy, so they’re not always going to enjoy a delicate kiss or light handhold. You’ll know if your Aries Mars crush has heart eyes for you if they try to wrestle or even dare you to race them around the block. They’re also a big fans of bear hugs, the tighter the better!
