| The Western astrological year commences
in the northern hemisphere with the vernal equinox, alternatively
known as the first day of spring. Day and night are of equal length
and the Sun begins its journey through the constellation of
Aries. Symbolised by the Ram, the glyph for Aries can be considered
either as a representation of the Ram’s horns, or else as the
first shoots of spring pushing bravely through the warming ground.
The first association has a wider relevance on a global scale, where
spring does not always happen in March! The constellation of Aries is associated astrologically with the cardinal quality, and it belongs to the element of fire. The cardinal signs aspire collectively towards leadership, initiative, action and achievement. The fire signs are also active, energetic and enthusiastic souls, who all share a similar passion for life and have a dynamic approach, to the things that comprise their daily affairs. |

| Combining
all of these features into one sign, Aries is definitely an individual
who could never be considered as reticent, indecisive or half-hearted.
Thus Aries people are renowned for their typically forthright, vigorous
and upbeat attitude. You are a straightforward character not noted
for your patience, diplomacy, subtlety or tact. You are generally independent,
strong willed, confident and decisive and are not best pleased with
the interference of others in your decision-making processes. Although
you may not plan especially well in the longer term, as a typical Aries
you’ll be pretty sure of what you want from life, and of the ways in
which you intend to ensure that all of this happens, before very long … Naturally a few errors will occur along the way. The downside of such a proactive nature is that at times rash judgements, undue haste, impulsiveness or a lack of forethought will all be capable of marring the intended outcome. However, most of the time you feel capable enough of achieving your objectives, without interference from others - and are usually able to get by without requesting too much in the way of other people’s assistance, either. Selfishness and egotism can be dangers where such as a self-orientated character is concerned. Fortunately most Aries subjects aren’t loners. You are naturally competitive and need interpersonal interactions in order to affirm your worth. You therefore seek out personal relationships and, over time, will learn the need to compromise. Most Aries people aren’t really especially bossy or controlling, even though your assertive and acerbic style of relating can be rather jarring for more sensitive souls. You certainly do like to be in charge, but it’s actually more important to set your own agenda than it is to spend time telling other people what to do. If others can make their point clearly, the typical Aries will respect that person’s right and entitlement, to hold an alternative view. |

| It is often said that Aries makes a natural
leader. Whilst this may indeed be true, it is still important to emphasise
the softer skills of communication and diplomacy, so that your truly
effective leadership skills can really become apparent. Many Aries
subjects are outspoken and are not afraid to state their opinions directly.
Your competitive nature and your desire to win is often very
strong. Ruled by Mars, your feelings will tend towards the immediate
and the urgent. Thus Aries people are generally candid, frank and live
their life very much for the moment. Your emotions can be explosive
and you are capable of some extremely biting and provocative comments.
You then almost immediately put this all behind you, not really understanding
why others find it so much harder, to do the same. Aries subjects are therefore sometimes perceived as arrogant, rude and thoughtless. However, your motivations are rarely premeditated or malicious. Coming so early in the zodiac, this is one of the least complex and most guileless of signs, escaping from the intellectual and spiritual baggage that gets increasingly associated with those placings that come later. You simply would like to live life to the best of your ability, as actively as possible and without limitation, restriction or confinement. This given, you will always be fine. Needless to say Aries people are at their best either working alone or with a great degree of self-determination. Being your own boss, or working in an executive position within a large organisation, would suit you well. You prefer a lot of room for making your own decisions and definitely don’t appreciate the prospect of overzealous supervision. A career involving active participation in the decision-making process, is a good one for you. Surgeons and butchers are also linked with Aries because of the associations with sharp, cutting instruments. The armed forces are synonymous with your sign, as are many careers for which it is necessary to wear a uniform. In relationships Aries is passionate, hot-blooded, ardent and a lover of the chase. You are attentive, gallant and chivalrous in pursuit, but aren’t renowned for your staying power once the conquest is over. It’s advisable for the object of your affections to play a little hard to get, in order to keep your interest and your ardour at the peak of arousal, once your initial passion has abated. |
