Aries

March 21 - April 19

Positive - Cardinal - Fire

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and has a powerful, raw energy and an instinct for action and leadership. Ruled by Mars, the god of war, Aries is bold, dynamic, assertive, sometimes reckless, but always has faith in their abilities to master problems.

Most Arian people are straightforward, frank and uncomplicated. Whilst they don't radiate kindness or tolerance, they are exciting, generous, highly demonstrative, and at times, affectionate. They enjoy conflict, and will always stick up for themselves and others, and will instinctively take the lead in most areas of their lives.

Aries loves a challenge and gets bored with too much self-reflection. They are loyal and devoted to loved ones and family, although they always need freedom to pursue their own career and interests.

Arian subjects are warm and enthusiastic in their relationships with others - sometimes too much so. Their eagerness can become pushy seems like aggression. There are some Arians who are domineering, impatient, and quick-tempered, but even the most hyperactive of Aries subjects will calm down if they have to stop and think what they are doing.

Aries at Work

Enthusiastic and motivated, Aries at work can be dynamic or catastrophic. Arians hate being told what to do but love to lead others, so are suited to positions of authority. Their energetic nature also draws them toward hazardous occupations and military regimes. They might take up work as a fire fighter, racing driver, executive, police officer, soldier, athlete, or film director.

Aries at Play

Arians crave thrills and adventure, love taking risks, and hate to conform. Their leisure time is usually spent in a wide range of physically taxing activities but because of their lack of concentration, they should not occupy themselves in activities that require a long attention span. They are very competitive and usually extremely adept as long as they are allowed to do things at their own high-speed pace and in their own unique style. They are attracted to hazardous, risky activities, stunts, assault courses, fairgrounds, fast sports, war games, hunting, horses, motorcycles, motor-racing, and any creative channel that combines strength with a small amount of concentration. Aries subjects who do not fulfil their keen physical urges in energetic activity may become short-tempered or physically abusive. Aries people hate to lose, and may be prone to tantrums when beaten.

Aries and Health

Arians tend to suffer from headaches, particularly migraines, as well as many other problems relating to the head and face. They tend to be accident prone, due to their extreme impulsiveness and careless approach. However, the Arian, is also robust and strong and their bodies can tolerate pain more easily than most other signs. All Arians benefit from rest and relaxation, but they are unlikely to sit still for long, believing this to be a sign of weakness or laziness.
