Compatibility
Aries and Libra: compatibility according to the Hebrew calendar
Aries, child of Nissan and of fire, and Libra, child of Tishrei and of air: opposites that attract. What each one brings, what grates, and what your two Hebrew months say.
The verdict
Opposites that attract · Fire and air
Air feeds fire: one brings the ideas, the other the drive to live them. A stimulating, fast alliance, full of plans.
What each one brings
Two strengths meeting
Aries brings drive: with Aries, the couple moves, dares, sets off on adventures and never falls asleep.
Libra brings harmony: gentleness, a taste for beauty, the art of mending after a quarrel.
Aries needs open admiration and a partner who keeps up without dragging; Libra needs balance, equality and a relationship where people speak with consideration.
What can grate
The misunderstandings to expect
Air sometimes fans the flames at the wrong moment, and fire finds air too scattered, or too detached when it is time to commit.
On the character side, Aries decides fast, sometimes alone, and gets irritated at having to wait, and nothing hurts Libra more than rudeness, open conflict, injustice. The other way round, when Libra hesitates, avoids conflict and lets drag what should be settled, Aries runs into what they can bear least: slowness, brooding reproaches, the feeling of being held back.
In the Hebrew calendar
Face to face, six months apart
Six months apart: your signs face each other, on either side of the year. It is the pull of opposites: each sees in the other what they lack.
Aries is the child of Nissan (March-April), tribe of Reuben, under Mars; Libra, the child of Tishrei (September-October), tribe of Benjamin, under Venus.
Nissan and Tishrei are the two beginnings of the Hebrew year: Nissan opens the count of months (Exodus 12:2), Tishrei the count of years, with Rosh Hashanah (Mishnah Rosh Hashanah 1:1). Your two signs are the two gates of the year. In the tradition, your two months also share the same quality: Loving-kindness (Chesed).
According to the Sefer Yetzirah, each month receives a sense: Aries receives speech, Libra union. In your couple, one knows how to speak, name things, open the way, the other how to unite and bring together.
The advice
To make it last
Choose one project together and see it through: this pair bonds by making things happen.
To touch Aries: saying yes on the spot to one of their wild ideas. To touch Libra: a beautiful, tension-free evening planned for two.
Before you conclude
Are you really Aries and Libra?
The Hebrew sign is read from the Hebrew month of birth, not the civil month: about one birth in four changes sign. And a sign is only one layer of the sky. The As a duo reading compares your two full birth dates: signs, Moons, Venus and Mars, and rising signs if you know the times.
