Being around so many Aries people has definitely caused me to learn patience! ;) Most of the time, it is wonderful to have such energetic, straight-up, creative people around you, but when you do end up with a disagreement, it can be explosive!
I used to know this couple who I thought had an extremely good relationship (both Aries). For many years, they were great to visit with, and their relationship seemed blessed. But I always wondered what happened when one or the other 'put their foot down' on an issue. I always thought it would be hard for two Aries people to compromise, and it might end up pretty badly. But it seemed they had mastered the art. Eventually, however, it came to tears and violence when the male Aries started getting involved in drugs and partying and she found out. She left, of course, and went on to become successful in an Administrative function (Aries loves being the leader or having control). She was never as much fun after that, however. She lost some of her spark and became much more conservative.
Now I find myself in a relationship with a strong Aries man, and believe me, it is an interesting experience. We have so many things in common, even beyond the personality stuff, that most of the time we are in complete agreement on things and understand where the other is coming from quite well. We finish each other's sentences, that kind of thing. Plus I have a bit of the psychic nature, so he can't hide anything from me (I'm sure that's quite aggravating at times for him). That means we end up dealing with any issues and usually work out any disagreements right away. A lot of the time we discover we were disagreeing about the same thing, but saying it in a way the other didn't understand. It's kinda funny when you're over the hotheaded response. He is far more of an Aries than I am, however. With Mercury in Aries, he has a tendency to say things in an aggressive manner, whereas with my Mercury in Pisces, I try to see the other person's point of view and choose my words a bit more carefully. If I had not learned some patience already, I think we would end up killing each other! ;)
But the rewards are most 'loverly' (from "My Fair Lady," one of my favorite plays/ movies). We connect so well and feel each other's moods, needs, and wants, it is amazing! I am left breathless...
I am glad you found my words to be helpful, and I feel I may have made another Aries friend, albeit long-distance. Where are you from, BTW? I value and treasure all my Aries connections and I think we can help each other. It is always rewarding and interesting. On that note, besides the interest in astrology, what else do you explore for fun? Myself, I'm not having a lot of fun time these days because this Tarot project is driving me hard. I'm afraid I won't be able to really relax until I've completed it. I like video games, but every time I try to play lately, I feel like I'm wasting valuable moments and end up putting it away shortly thereafter. Chatting with you is a nice break in the midst of the madness, though!

Thank you.
