aries

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, and that's pretty much how those born under the sign see themselves: first. Aries are the leaders of the pack, first in line to get things going. Whether or not everything gets done is another question altogether, for an Aries prefers to initiate than to complete. Do you have a project needing a kick-start? Call an Aries, by all means. The leadership displayed by Aries is most impressive, so don't be surprised if they can rally the troops against seemingly insuremoutable odds -- they have that kind of personal magnatism. An Aries won't why away from new ground either. Those born under this sign are often called the pioneers of the Zodiac, and it's their fearless trek into the unknown that often wins the day. Aries is a bundle of energy and dynamism, kind of like a pied piper, leading people along with it's charm and charisma. The Dawning of a new day -- and all of it's possiblities -- is pure bliss to an Aries.

The symbol of an Aries is the Ram, and that's both good and bad news. Impulsive Aries might be tempted to ram their ideas down everyone's throats without even bothering to ask if they want to know. It's these times when you may wish Aries's Sign's symbol were a more subdues creature, more lamb than ram perhaps. You're not likely to convence the ram to soften up; these folks are blunt and to the point. Along with these qualities come the sheer force of the Aries nature, a force that can actually accomplish a great deal. Much of Aries's drive to complete and to win comes from its cardinal quality. Cardinal Signs love to get things going, and Aries exemplifies this even better than Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn.

Aries are ruled by the planet Mars. Taking a peek at roman mythology, we find that mars was the god of war. Our man mars was unafraid to do battle, and much the same can be said for Aries. These folks are bold, aggressive and courageous. They can summon up their inner strength required to take on most anyone and they'll probably win. Aries do not lack energy or vitality, and they can stay in the game longer than most anyone else. Now that's a winning edge. Rams are also, for the most part, independent and well aware of their own interests in a given situation. This sometimes myopic view may not be for everyone, but it does help Aries get things going. Further their competitive natures ensure that they will play the game with zeal and vigor. At times their approach may be construed as errogant and domineering, but it takes a lot of focus to be a leader (or so an Aries would say). Sadly the Aries, won't usually be around for the final victory (defeat? Never) These folks will more than likely have bolted to the next project before the first one is done.

The element associated with aries is fire. Think action, enthusiasm and a burning desire to play the game. Aries love phisicality, so they won't sit on the side lines for long, if at all. They'll jump into the fray full force and will contribute much in this process. Talk about egar beavers! Sure some of their decisions may later prove to have been hasty, but you'll never find an Aries who regretted taking a shot.

Making things happen is what it's all about to these folks. Aries are also unafraid of stepping onto new terrain. The challenge inherant in taking on the unknown is Heaven on Earth for Rams. Sure, they may appear errogant when they take on the world, but they will be quick to tell you it's the only way to go. While a common Aries refrain might well be ' me first' there's no point in argueing with them, since in their minds, they are first. Is this unbridled ego? Maybe, but that might be what it takes to blaze a new trail. Oh, and on the subject of arguing, it's the Ram who will have the last word, so save your breathe.

Aries seem to play as hard as they work. These folks are happiest in a spirited soccor match or engadging in the martial arts. In the game of love the Ram's odor is unquestioned, although Aries can also be playful and romantic with their mate. With Aries ruling the head, Face and Brain, those born under this sign, need to be on the lookout for headaches and are well-served to take the occational deep breath. The Ram's Color is bright red, a sure sign of the fire that breathes within.

The great strength of the Aries-born is in their initiative, courage and determination. These folks love to get things going and are fearless along the way. Their dynamism and competitive spirit add considerable any of their endeavors.
