While every household will play by different rules, understanding each zodiac sign’s innate domestic style can help you sort it out.

What it like living with an Aries?

The Independent Aries family member needs lots of personal space within a family unit.

As the zodiac’s most independent sign, family is a somewhat bizarre concept to an Aries. Sure, they love their relatives, but they don’t need to be around them 24/7. It can be especially difficult for an Aries child to share a room with a sibling, as they need to carve out their own space to retreat to and work in private on their many creative projects.

Their maverick M.O. changes, however, should they have kids of your own. They’re a protective parent who is simultaneously hands-on and hands-off. They want their kids to learn how to fend for themselves in the rough and rugged world and they’ll teach them to be tough. They might fall into the trap of stage-parenting from time to time, too. What can they say? Their kids are a reflection of them, and they want their desire for excellence to rub off on them.

Aries family member’s favorites are ones who will baby them when they need to be coddled and leave you alone when they want to fly free. Many Aries are notorious “Daddy’s Girls.” The Aries warrior spirit connects well to masculine energy of this fire sign. Aries also love being spoiled and cooed over when they pull off impressive feats.

Astrology tip for living with an Aries

As the zodiac’s solo star, the Aries family member doesn’t fit naturally into a unit. Checking in with other people before they make a move? So not their thing! They want to come and go as they please, and have been known to pull a disappearing act on the family when they’ve reached their quota of people time. This doesn’t bode quite so well for relatives of an Aries family member. Anger and frustration can arise when they realize that, say, Aries slipped away from the table without acknowledging that they wouldn’t be back.

If Aries learns to communicate their whereabouts and stick around for dessert from time to time, they can keep the harmony intact.
