Aries Compatibility: How Arri the Rhino Gets On With Every Star Sign
We asked Arri the Rhino, the Aries Astrominal (21 March – 19 April), how he gets on with the rest of the zodiac. He’d finished before we’d finished asking. Here it is, lightly de-dented.
Pick a sign above to jump straight to it.
Aries
Arri + Arri
Two rhinos, one doorway. Nobody goes through. We just stand there until the building gives up.
Verdict: brilliant fun, terrible for doorframes.
Taurus
Arri + Taur
I charge. Taur doesn’t move. It’s like running into a very polite mountain that’s eating a sandwich.
Verdict: Taur wins, but only because he wasn’t trying.
Gemini
Arri + Gem & Eye
They talk at the speed I run. Two beaks, a hundred ideas, zero brakes. I’ve never been so tired, or had so much fun.
Verdict: a great team, as long as someone else does the tidying up.
Cancer
Arri + Canny
I knocked over Canny’s sandcastle. By accident. At speed. Canny cried, then built me my own sandcastle, which made me feel worse. In a good way.
Verdict: Canny teaches me to slow down. I’m still learning. Slowly.
Leo
Arri + Leo
Fire meets fire. We both want to go first, so we race to decide who goes first, and Leo stops halfway to wave at the crowd.
Verdict: I win the race. Leo wins the photos.
Virgo
Arri + Virgo
Virgo reads the instructions. I eat the instructions. Somehow Virgo still fixes whatever I built, without a word, and then hides.
Verdict: I need Virgo more than Virgo needs me. Don’t tell anyone.
Libra
Arri + Libby
Libby asks, “Shall we talk about it?” I’ve already done it. Libby is the only bird who can calm me down by standing very still on one leg.
Verdict: opposite signs, and opposites who actually work.
Scorpio
Arri + Score
Score never forgets. I never remember. So far that has worked out well for me.
Verdict: respect, from a safe distance.
Sagittarius
Arri + Sagg
The best adventure buddy there is. Sagg plans nothing, I check nothing, and we end up halfway up a volcano with one sandwich.
Verdict: maximum fun. Bring a map. Neither of us will.
Capricorn
Arri + Cap
Cap wants to climb the mountain one careful step at a time. I want to go through it. We usually meet at the top, and Cap has made a spreadsheet of my mistakes.
Verdict: annoying, useful, mostly annoying.
Aquarius
Arri + Aqua
Aqua invented a gadget that stops me charging into things. I charged into it.
Verdict: she’s working on version two.
Pisces
Arri + Pike
Pike drifts. I dash. I zoom round the pond eleven times and Pike says, “Did you see the reflection of the moon?” I did not. I do now.
Verdict: Pike makes me notice things. Weird. Good weird.
Arri’s sign-off: If you’ve got an Aries in your life, here’s the secret. We’re not trying to win. We’re trying to win quickly. Keep up, and you’ll have the most loyal rhino in the world on your side.
