Aries (March 21 - April 19) |
| Top 10 Reasons Your An Aries |
Aries is the sign of the natural born leader. Always impulsive, spontaneous and headstrong. They often remind one of a Mac Truck barreling down the highway. Never malicious, though often self-centered. Set on a mission carving their own way in life. Not aware of their actions until later. An Aries is fearless and brave almost to a point of foolishness definitely making their actions and presence known. Ruled by the head, they often look like a ram plowing through the crowd on the way up that mountain.
This glyph is the symbol of the sun (the circle) with an arrow that aptly describes how a person ruled by Mars defends and asserts themselves or their egos, it also represents our survival factor and even the Arian sexuality. The glyph for Mars is typically male in nature and represents the energy of Mars bursting forth from the constraints of life with desire to do, to be, and to conquer. This planet is associated with Ares, the God of War. In the beginning Ares was the God of agriculture, giving the crops the life from the sun and the arrow to the farmer for strength to persevere and defend his crops from all predators. This association was changed by the roman solders to represent the ability and the willingness of the warrior to attack all his enemies and defend his life with it's arrow; this arrow gave it another association with war in the mind of the Romans. Mars is concerned with the masculine side of your nature, strongly sexual, it makes one aggressive as well as decisive; Hasty and rude as well as positive and energetic. Mars gives an individual facet to the personality, bringing to the surface the instinctive desires and impulses. It is too often associated with anger and violence by those not having the benefit of the energies it gives to the typical Arian. It denotes the warrior, not the warlike, and gives the subject the courage to face self, the baser self, the one enemy we all have in common and the one enemy we must all learn to control.

Like Aries Jane Goodall's pioneering work with chimpanzees, Gloria Steinam's leadership in the movement for women's equality, or Quentin Tarentino's new and innovative style of filmmaking, you too are a pioneer. You venture into areas where less brave soul would dare not go. No challenge is too great for you. You are ready to try almost anything. Life is an adventure and you want to live it to the fullest.
The fact that something has never been done before does not deter you in the least. This first sign of the zodiac is the sign of new beginnings: the first day of spring, the birth of new animals, or the fresh growth of flowers and leaves. Your love of starting something new and your enterprising personality leads you into paths and life journeys that are fun and exciting.
As an Aries, you are confident and optimistic about what you can accomplish. Although you can over-estimate your abilities at times, if you run into an obstacle, you have the great knack for dusting yourself off and leaping headfirst into your next project. You do not dwell on the past but are very future-oriented and interested in what is just ahead.
Aries people lead, motivate, and inspire like nobody else. Others become excited by your vision and readily sign up for the adventure. You help others to feel confident about themselves and their ideas. “You can do it!” are words you often say to yourself and to others. You lead the way.
You have a “can-do” attitude. The word “failure” is not in your vocabulary. If something does not go as you had planned (what little planning there was), you are genuinely surprised. You are so resilient though, that you pick yourself up and try again. You are willing to attempt things more than once to become successful. In fact, you love the challenge.
Because the focus of an Aries is on beginning something new, you often do not consider fully what you are getting into nor perceive the full scope of what you are taking on, which can be a good thing. Sometimes, people who think too much and obsess about the details never leave the starting gate and never get their ideas off the ground because they become overwhelmed. You act first and then take care of whatever comes up.
Others feel protective of you and may wish you were a bit more cautious. Although caution is not an Aries trait, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use your head -- and not as a battering ram to push something through! It is important to use your mind, to think things out, to cultivate the strategy and planning that exists in every Aries. Your mind is the perfect complement to your can-do attitude |
