The symbol for Aries, is the headstrong Ram… very fitting; if you are an Aries of know of any you will know that we (Yes, yours truly is an Aries) can be VERY headstrong. In the wild, each Spring the desire to stake his territory & to mate drives the Ram to display his bravery by butting heads with his competitors. After a few times the one who can handle the headache & hasn’t given up is the winner. Those of us born under this sign have a lot in common with there symbol, the Ram. We are willing to butt heads with anyone that we feel are standing in are way. Sometimes, we will give up if we feel that we are not getting our way quick enough, as we can be extremely impatient.
Aries is considered to be the first sign of the zodiac, Arians as we are called are known to be aggressive & forceful because we are trying to be independent. We like to be pioneers in some way, the first to do something. We want to do things in the original way. If anyone can spontaneously create a new way to be a pioneer, we certainly can. We don’t like to be second or to be kept waiting too long for anything. We tend to function best when we act on or first impulse & don’t second guess ourselves. We hate lies & liars and are sometimes too honest for our own good.
Aries is one of the 4 Cardinal signs (the other 3 are Libra, Cancer & Capricorn). These signs govern the change of season, making them full of forward movement & great vitality. Cardinal signs are goal oriented, active, enthusiastic, motivated, & ambitious. They initiate change & get things moving.
Aries is also one of the 3 Fire signs (Leo & Sagittarius being the other 2). People with a lot of Fire in their chart are active, spontaneous, enthusiastic, creative, self-sufficient, & romantic. The forceful element of Fire can can sometimes make us Arians too proud, pushy, or bossy. We act on our first impulse, which as said before we are best at doing, without thinking & thrive when we are in charge of a project or are working alone.
Like our symbol, the Ram, we are brave explorers, headstrong pioneers who always strive to seek out new experiences. Our fiery, assertive & courageous matures are full of charm & charisma.
Here are a few Characteristics of an Aries:
*Your thoughts & actions are independent.
*You have a commanding attitude, which makes you appear proud, yet kind & friendly.
*You are straightforward in what you have to say & direct in your opinions.
