Scores are calculated from sun-sign astrology alone: the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel, their elements and their modalities. A full birth chart includes the Moon, Venus, Mars and the houses, and can shift this picture considerably.
Aries and Pisces — the verdict
Pisces sits just behind Aries on the zodiac — the last sign meeting the first — and the handover is not smooth. Mars is armour and Neptune is water; Aries fights what Pisces would rather dissolve. The attraction is real and often protective, but Aries has to learn that not everything needs confronting, and Pisces has to learn that vagueness is its own kind of aggression.

Beyond Aries and Pisces compatibility
Sun signs cannot determine whether a relationship will succeed. If you want another perspective on what is happening between you, describe your situation to a human reader. Your first question and answer carry no reading charge, once per person; some new accounts require an initial balance deposit before sending.
