They go on the offence only when there it means something to them. Aries men in love tend to put their loved ones on the pedistal, so they can deal almost with anything negative you could have in you, at least when you don't point the aggression at them. Their only tell you straightforwadly "bad" things only for the soul purpose of protecting you, so you don't show up looking like a fool.

Everything else is determined by your relationships as a whole.

I don't just mean 'How was your day etc.'

I mean, if something your girlfriend or wife said/did bothered you, would you speak up.and say something?

Or would you sit in silence, and pretend your okay?

Just wondered as my husband does this.
As this is an astrology forum mainly, it is important to say also, what are his other planets... what is his moon, venus, mercury?

if you speak up, depends on these other things as well.... minimal information about you two will not get you any meaningful answear

example: if he has water personal planets, his reactions (in love, relationships) can be different from if he has air or earth placements

more importantly: what are your other planets? as it seems you dont understand the man you married.... why you married him?

on the other hand: if its just a temporary thing = all long term serious relationships have these ups and downs, so dont worry too much

but understanding your man and YOURSELF is a good thing for a long run ๐Ÿ™‚

He has Sun - Aries

MOON - Aquarius

MERCURY- Aries

VENUS- Aquarius

Mars - Pisces

Jupiter - Cancer

Saturn - Virgo

Whereas with me I have

Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars All in Capricorn!

And Venus in Pisces.

My relationship with him is very complicated and to be honest f**ked up now. We are sleeping in separate beds and barely talking and we've taken our wedding rings off.

Anyway..what do you make of our birth charts?

Aries are very closed off with their emotions. They're 'the man' of the zodiac and therefore are always aware of the image that they are projecting. They hate looking inferior, weak, or feminine (emotions) to anyone. If they cry they will do so in private. Very rarely do Aries men become emotional in front of someone. Usually done so when pushed passed the breaking point, over the hill, and into the trenches and to the depths of Hades. Otherwise, good luck.



Women are very similar too. They are hardly emotional. Very lively and bubbly people. Love Aries women.
That sounds a lot like my husband - closed off emotionally. Not much of a man though. More of a boy. He will have a tantrum and storm of when he doesn't get his way. Then will sulk all day!

I don't do sulking! I hate it with a passion! Therefore sulking gets ignored!

I am not closed off myself BUT in a relationship with a closed off man, I'm afraid I become closed off too in time ๐Ÿ˜ข

I'm Capricorn..

I've read over and over that Capricorn woman and Aries man is NOT Compatible!

http://www.sunsigns.org/capricorn-woman-aries-man-love-compatibility/

Ignore anything about sex being good etc..its crap. We have totally different (and clashing) sexual style s just as we have totally different and Clashing personalitys!

But as this website says 'A Stubborn & Argumentative Match!'

Hell yes!

Aries men are childish actually. That's part of the mystery behind it because they are men but are actually temperamental and prone to tantrums when they don't get their way. They are associated with the age of 0-3 because they tend to go for women who are strong, independent, yet 'motherly' because deep down in their psychology, they have this need to be cuckolded by their partner. To the world, they project this 'manly bravado' 'muy macho' image and are extremely confident (arrogant is more like the word) but in private, their wives have to put up with their sexual demands and demands overall. If not they will throw hiisy fits and at times will seek 'retribution'. Usually it's petty shit that they do to 'get back at you' much like a child gets back at mommy for not listening to him or paying enough attention to HIS selfish needs.

Aries women on the other hand are the original wonder woman. She is tough, independent, and much of a tomboy. She's not afraid to get down and dirty, and unlike her male counterpart, she doesn't feel the need to be cuckolded or spoon fed. In actuality, she searches for a partner who can be quite literally, her partner in crime, much like Xena the Warrior princess had her Gabrielle. They have no nonsense attitude that is very endearing and refreshing to those less inclined 'drama' folks.

Hey...comeone... xD

But yes you are right (on the majority of the things at least hehe)

Special the emotions and Strong woman part (!!) and ofc...yea...their "needs" xD (it's not easy to be an Aries M you know ?!) haha

As for the *tantrums*...it does get alot better with maturity...and age...

That's when comprehension for others starts to *kick in* ^^

From all the Sun sings...Aries M..are the ones that take more time to "mature"...but when we do...oh... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Wow - have you met my husband? ?

You've just written Everything that is him. I still don't find him manly or even like a man, just an overgrown boy. So full of 'I want. I want. I want. ME ME ME'

Drives me insane! I've had to be his mouthpiece for years as he went speak up if I've said something he doesn't like. He just goes quiete, sulks and pretends he is fine..and so starts the emotional torture! While still pretending he's fine!

Lol no but I am curious to know why you would assume that?

Just that you speak directly and straight to the point. I know a couple of Sag women like that.

Maybe you are Scorpio - hence the secrecy over your identity ?

I spent oh 6-7 years with an Aries - not sure of other placements but he sounds very similar - one night I told him I was leaving. Within the next few days he told me that he had a light bulb moment and that he realized how wrong he had been and that he was going to change.

He did a lot of things to change and improve his life and he then had to try to "talk" to me to tell me all that he had done - which I said "good for you" but see I was done. I had asked so many times and got silence from him that I finally shut up and became silent myself and then finally decided to end things.

At one point, I had told him that I was not happy and that we needed some help I thought to learn how to communicate better. He said he was perfectly happy and that he didn't know why I wasn't happy and what was wrong with me.

I get you completely.

Humm..on my experience..i kinda feel it is the oposite ? ๐Ÿ™‚

I am a very communicative person, and i like to get things clear....asap !

We talk..we understand each other...we change..we adapt...we evolve...we carry on ^^

That's what i believe in !

As for the Aries way of the silent thing...humm..i guess when this starts to happen...it means he is no longer happy...and he *kinda* already wants to give up...thing is...this is not a sign that gives up that easily...

Anyway...we all have diferent experiences...and infact...one of the good things about this forum is to share it with each other in order to understand others and ourselfs ^^

So yep ! Communication is the key to any type of relationship !

But ofc...communication can only get us *that much further*...action..and change is required in order for that communication to be worth it ^^

I totally agree - see how same sign can be different ? I have Venus and Mercury in Aries and I am this way even though I am a Taurus Sun. This man was "different" - very different. Variations exist.

Indeed !

You wana know something funny ?! hehe

Me - Sun Aries, Venus Aries, Mercury.....Taurus xD

I was giving it some read about Mercury Taurus..and this part kinda got my attention:

"If the Sun Sign is in Aries or Gemini, these people can come across as more bull-headed than they actually are. They have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and their ideas are often very practical and useful."

And that is really who i am ! ^^

Like i said...learning about others..and ourselfs hehe

That's part of the tantrum aspect. You said you were Capricorn right? Well capricorn's are associated with the ages of 60-66 years of age. An age where someone who has lived and experienced therefore hold great wisdom. Also, Capricorns are on the other side of the spectrum, associated with the 'us' aspect of the home/security life style . Wheras Aries are part of the 'me' spectrum, everything is done on 'my terms' 'for me' and 'everything about me first'. Capricorns are part of the self-less club where they think 'let's do this for us'.

You guys are both Cardinal signs, and are also squared, so you guys have similarities but differences.

Your similarities, and what usually attracted you both, is the ambition and thrive to succeed. You thrive to have a stable home life and successful career, Aries strive because they want to be the best (and usually are). But the differences are that while you take your time to get to where you need to be, Aries, a fire sign, are impulsive and jump head first (nod to their body part ruling) and will think about the consequences until AFTER they have done it and only WHEN THINGS GO WRONG. If things go in their favor they keep doing what their doing until something bad happens. Capricorns are steady in their approach and think things through before they get to where they need to be, in other words they plan things out. so this is where you crash. Since you are also the wisest and most mature of the two, you will also clash because at times you will feel more like a parent than a partner to an Aries.

Thank you ? you are so totally right! I really do feel like a parent to him, rather than a partner. It's actually quite unsexy. I have never wanted to 'mother' a man as it's major turn off for me!

However when we first met, he was 24 and I was 26. We are now 38 and 40!

I won't bore you with my major problems but I should have left him 5 years ago! His childish ways grew irritating and no longer cute and funny like I used to find them. I found myself regularly telling him to stop fooling around! Just to have him make another wise-crack and completely fail to listen to what I'm saying. He just wanted to arse around and not take the situation or me seriously! ?

I do take things slow by thinking about every step along the way; while my husband dives headlong into things without actually thinking whether it's right or not. OR whether it's right for us! As long as it's right for HIM that's all that matters.

Astrology - wise what does Square mean?

Hi ..Thank you ?

You've actually done something that I have realised - too late - that I should have done. You did something Practical! For example you know as well as I do that talking with an Aries man gets you nowhere! You may as well talk to yourself.

But having read your post, you said that you told him you were leaving. Good for you! Wish I had done that!

You also said that, you'd asked many times, and got so much silence that you became silent yourself. THAT happened to Me too!

You just stop talking in the end because what's the point!?!

Therefore by telling him you are leaving, you are taking action to change things! THIS is what made him sit up and listen - taking action!

With me, I waited too long! Like you I became silent, and I wanted to tell him our marriage is over. BUT I couldn't face saying it. Our communication had broken down - not that it was good anyway - so I had gone silent and only thought about leaving rather than actually telling him.

I think if I had done that he would have sat up and listened and try to make changes. Rather than me moaning at him and having him still continue the same!

So glad we get each others situation ?

Usually it's petty shit that they do to 'get back at you' much like a child gets back at mommy for not listening to him or paying enough attention to HIS selfish needs.

Aries women on the other hand are the original wonder woman. She is tough, independent, and much of a tomboy. She's not afraid to get down and dirty, and unlike her male counterpart, she doesn't feel the need to be cuckolded or spoon fed. In actuality, she searches for a partner who can be quite literally, her partner in crime, much like Xena the Warrior princess had her Gabrielle. They have no nonsense attitude that is very endearing and refreshing to those less inclined 'drama' folks.
Wow - have you met my husband? ?

You've just written Everything that is him. I still don't find him manly or even like a man, just an overgrown boy. So full of 'I want. I want. I want. ME ME ME'

Drives me insane! I've had to be his mouthpiece for years as he went speak up if I've said something he doesn't like. He just goes quiete, sulks and pretends he is fine..and so starts the emotional torture! While still pretending he's fine!
That's part of the tantrum aspect. You said you were Capricorn right? Well capricorn's are associated with the ages of 60-66 years of age. An age where someone who has lived and experienced therefore hold great wisdom. Also, Capricorns are on the other side of the spectrum, associated with the 'us' aspect of the home/security life style . Wheras Aries are part of the 'me' spectrum, everything is done on 'my terms' 'for me' and 'everything about me first'. Capricorns are part of the self-less club where they think 'let's do this for us'.

You guys are both Cardinal signs, and are also squared, so you guys have similarities but differences.

Your similarities, and what usually attracted you both, is the ambition and thrive to succeed. You thrive to have a stable home life and successful career, Aries strive because they want to be the best (and usually are). But the differences are that while you take your time to get to where you need to be, Aries, a fire sign, are impulsive and jump head first (nod to their body part ruling) and will think about the consequences until AFTER they have done it and only WHEN THINGS GO WRONG. If things go in their favor they keep doing what their doing until something bad happens. Capricorns are steady in their approach and think things through before they get to where they need to be, in other words they plan things out. so this is where you crash. Since you are also the wisest and most mature of the two, you will also clash because at times you will feel more like a parent than a partner to an Aries.
Thank you ? you are so totally right! I really do feel like a parent to him, rather than a partner. It's actually quite unsexy. I have never wanted to 'mother' a man as it's major turn off for me!

However when we first met, he was 24 and I was 26. We are now 38 and 40!

I won't bore you with my major problems but I should have left him 5 years ago! His childish ways grew irritating and no longer cute and funny like I used to find them. I found myself regularly telling him to stop fooling around! Just to have him make another wise-crack and completely fail to listen to what I'm saying. He just wanted to arse around and not take the situation or me seriously! ?

I do take things slow by thinking about every step along the way; while my husband dives headlong into things without actually thinking whether it's right or not. OR whether it's right for us! As long as it's right for HIM that's all that matters.

Astrology - wise what does Square mean?
Squares are 3 signs away from your sign they are also the same quality as your sign for example, your square would be Libra and Aries. They are also cardinal signs like Capricorn and Cancers. You all share similar quality aspects, you guys are the starters and natural leaders of the zodiac.

Here's a definition on squares:

The Square: This aspect creates tension between the planets and points involved. Tension is necessary in order to stimulate action, but too much tension translates to stress. The planets involved in a square are acting at cross purposes. With squares, we may overdo and run into countless obstacles before we โ€œget it rightโ€. However, squares force us out of complacency and get the ball rolling. Squares are often more difficult when we are young, as these aspects force us to grow and learn our lessons.

I don't just mean 'How was your day etc.'

I mean, if something your girlfriend or wife said/did bothered you, would you speak up.and say something?

Or would you sit in silence, and pretend your okay?

Just wondered as my husband does this.
Re original Q, he would tell me directly and immediately "that's a hurtful thing to say"

I think maybe it's the moon in aquarius? I used to work with an aries sun and aquarius moon. He was not very communicative. Very quiet and kinda shy. Don't know if it was the moon or other placements though.

My man is an aries and very direct. He has no problems communicating his feelings. On the contrary...sometimes I kinda wished he would shut up lol.

I think typically aries men don't like to talk about their feelings and emotions as it's not seen as very "manly" and they are all about feeling like a man. ๐Ÿ˜›

What I have seen are that the aries men that are loud and confident are the ones that also have no problem communicating their feelings. The shy and quiet ones are the ones that have problems with it. Is your man a shy and quiet person in general?

Hi x I think you are right about the Aries Sun and Aquarius Moon as my husband has both of these. He is not a quiet shy man, he is loud and obnoxious and knows what he wants but when it comes to his feelings, he is a little boy. Its like he doesn't know what to do.

BUT its only when things get difficult in our relationship. Instead of telling me he is upset, he will pretend he is fine, but give me the silent treatment and only talk to me if I talk to him first. Its frustrating And childish!



Its much easier having someone who won't shut up, then someone who won't talk x Wish my man would talk. Its a burden for me to try and make him open his mouth

I spent oh 6-7 years with an Aries - not sure of other placements but he sounds very similar - one night I told him I was leaving. Within the next few days he told me that he had a light bulb moment and that he realized how wrong he had been and that he was going to change.

He did a lot of things to change and improve his life and he then had to try to "talk" to me to tell me all that he had done - which I said "good for you" but see I was done. I had asked so many times and got silence from him that I finally shut up and became silent myself and then finally decided to end things.

At one point, I had told him that I was not happy and that we needed some help I thought to learn how to communicate better. He said he was perfectly happy and that he didn't know why I wasn't happy and what was wrong with me.

I get you completely.




Humm..on my experience..i kinda feel it is the oposite ? ๐Ÿ™‚

I am a very communicative person, and i like to get things clear....asap !

We talk..we understand each other...we change..we adapt...we evolve...we carry on ^^

That's what i believe in !

As for the Aries way of the silent thing...humm..i guess when this starts to happen...it means he is no longer happy...and he *kinda* already wants to give up...thing is...this is not a sign that gives up that easily...

Anyway...we all have diferent experiences...and infact...one of the good things about this forum is to share it with each other in order to understand others and ourselfs ^^

So yep ! Communication is the key to any type of relationship !

But ofc...communication can only get us *that much further*...action..and change is required in order for that communication to be worth it ^^


I totally agree - see how same sign can be different ? I have Venus and Mercury in Aries and I am this way even though I am a Taurus Sun. This man was "different" - very different. Variations exist.


Indeed !

You wana know something funny ?! hehe

Me - Sun Aries, Venus Aries, Mercury.....Taurus xD

I was giving it some read about Mercury Taurus..and this part kinda got my attention:

"If the Sun Sign is in Aries or Gemini, these people can come across as more bull-headed than they actually are. They have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and their ideas are often very practical and useful."

And that is really who i am ! ^^

Like i said...learning about others..and ourselfs hehe

it can be fascinating !

Hi ..Thank you ?

You've actually done something that I have realised - too late - that I should have done. You did something Practical! For example you know as well as I do that talking with an Aries man gets you nowhere! You may as well talk to yourself.

But having read your post, you said that you told him you were leaving. Good for you! Wish I had done that!

You also said that, you'd asked many times, and got so much silence that you became silent yourself. THAT happened to Me too!

You just stop talking in the end because what's the point!?!

Therefore by telling him you are leaving, you are taking action to change things! THIS is what made him sit up and listen - taking action!

With me, I waited too long! Like you I became silent, and I wanted to tell him our marriage is over. BUT I couldn't face saying it. Our communication had broken down - not that it was good anyway - so I had gone silent and only thought about leaving rather than actually telling him.

I think if I had done that he would have sat up and listened and try to make changes. Rather than me moaning at him and having him still continue the same!

So glad we get each others situation ?

Yes, but I do want to make it clear that I told him I was leaving and then followed through with it - because when I am done, I am done. I should have told him I was leaving or else long before that and he may or may not have changed at that point and perhaps we could have salvaged things but we all understand how that can go. Who knows. That was many - many years ago and long gone for me ... but I've learned more along the way as we all do ... life is too short, strive to be happy!
