Two rule-breakers, separate reasons.
Aries and Aquarius compatibility
Yes, Aries and Aquarius are compatible, and easily so at the Sun level. Air keeps Fire burning, which is why your Suns take all 40 of the first 40 points in our score. You both hate being told what to do. Luckily, neither of you tries.
Sun points: 40 of 40
The other 60 points come from your Moons, Venus, Mars and Rising signs.
The theory and the test run
Aquarius shows up with a theory about why every social app should be illegal. The Aries hears it, nods, and deletes three apps on the spot. Nobody has ever acted on an Aquarius theory that fast, and the Aquarius is delighted. You both like independence. Aries wants to do its own thing. Aquarius wants to think its own thoughts. Neither of you needs constant check-ins, so the texting is light, funny and full of links nobody else would understand. Friends assume you're just buddies. You're not, and you like that they can't tell.
Stubborn about different things
Aries changes its mind in a minute. Aquarius, a fixed sign, does not change its mind about anything, including a movie from 2009. Arguments start as fun debates and end in a standoff where the Aries is yelling and the Aquarius is calmly citing a podcast. The Aquarius goes cool and detached in a fight, which the Aries reads as not caring. The Aries goes hot and loud, which the Aquarius reads as irrational. Both are wrong. A good rule: Aries gets ten minutes to vent, then Aquarius gets ten minutes to explain, and nobody quotes a podcast.
Weird museum, loud opinions
A museum of something odd, like neon signs or old medical tools, makes the perfect first date. Aquarius reads every placard. Aries races to the gift shop and buys a terrible magnet as a joke. Dinner afterward turns into a long argument about the future, aliens, and whether the Aries could survive a week off the grid. Aquarius says no. Aries spends the walk home proving otherwise by refusing to check the map. You get lost. Nobody minds. It's the most interesting night either of you has had in months.
Friends first, then more
Long term, you two keep a friendship at the center, and it keeps things alive. You laugh at the same strange things. Space is the risk. Aquarius can drift into its own projects, and Aries can get bored and pick a fight just to feel something. Your Suns give you the full 40 of the first 40 points. The other 60, from Moons, Venus, Mars and Rising, need both birth dates, and they often explain the emotional side these two Suns skip. Run it and see whether the warmth matches the wit.
Free, no account, about 15 minutes. Two birth dates is all it takes.

Questions people ask
Are Aries and Aquarius a good match?
Yes, often a very good one. Fire and Air support each other, and both signs value independence. The relationship usually feels like a friendship with chemistry. Their challenge is emotional warmth, since Aquarius can seem distant and Aries can get impatient.
Why do Aries and Aquarius argue?
Mostly over stubbornness and style. Aquarius is a fixed sign that holds its opinions tightly, while Aries is quick and changeable. Aries fights hot and Aquarius fights cool, so each can feel the other is missing the point.
Do Aries and Aquarius have chemistry?
Usually, yes. The attraction tends to be mental first, with lots of banter and shared curiosity. Aries brings boldness and Aquarius brings surprise. Over time, the chemistry depends on making room for feelings, not just ideas.
The Moon's verdict
Best friends who flirt, argue about aliens, and never get bored.
The stars don't lie.
