Aries

Overall

Aries is the sign of initiation, action and momentum

It rarely wants to sit around waiting for somebody else to decide what happens next. Aries energy is at its strongest when there is a challenge to confront, a goal to chase or something new to begin

People strongly influenced by Aries often prefer directness over diplomacy. They tend to know quickly what they want, and when functioning well they can be remarkably decisive, courageous and self-motivated

Their willingness to act is often their greatest advantage

The weaker expression is acting before enough thought has been given to consequences. Speed can turn into impatience, confidence into aggression and independence into an inability to cooperate

Aries generally learns through doing rather than endless preparation

Love & Relationships

Aries usually wants relationships to feel alive

Attraction can develop quickly and strongly, particularly where there is:

• chemistry
• challenge
• excitement
• physical attraction
• independence

Aries tends to appreciate direct communication and generally dislikes prolonged ambiguity

At its strongest, Aries brings passion, protectiveness and enthusiasm into relationships

At its weaker end, the need to win can enter arguments that were never supposed to be competitions

Career & Work

Aries generally performs well where initiative matters

It tends to suit environments where a person can:

• make decisions
• compete
• lead
• build
• sell
• act independently
• solve immediate problems

Excessively slow, bureaucratic environments may become frustrating
