The Fire element of Aries brings assertive "I" energy. This is a flaming drive and the desire to do something! The Aries will is full of tension and passion; the "I" brings a need for independence. Aries coincides with spring time, when seeds germinate in an outpouring of energy and growth.

The Sign
Rams are likely to be joyful, dynamic, assertive, outspoken and brave. They celebrate life. Enormous energy is Arian's great gift. Channeling it outward, past self-absorption and toward enlivening the world around them, is the great challenge confronting Rams.  This sign as has an instinctive identity, early extroversion, spontaneity, and a very direct approach.

Positive Sides
Arians are vital, instinctual and young - the zodiac�s perpetual children, youths in search of identity. Arians hate constraint, boredom, apathy, and ambiguity. They despise pretense in others; if it exists in themselves, they simply fail to recognize it. They tend to prompt conflict and to revel in it, but their fights are usually over principle and their roles are heroic. Endurance and confidence make it possible for Aries to achieve things that might seem impossible to other people.

Negative Sides
They may also be intolerant, impatient, impulsive, and overemotional, deficient in the capacity for self-reflection and concentration, and inclined toward taking impulsive and ill-considered risks. The point of combat for them is to win - on all fronts and at all costs. The raw, erratic force of Arians can be destructive. They have a natural tendency to be assertive and single-minded. In a negative situation, this can lead to stubborn aggression.

The Ruler
"Fire" can rage out of control. Aries' cardinal-sign assertiveness can become too willful. Then we have wild spring weather -- a storming nature and a passion for power. Spontaneity can become impulsive -- as only a sign ruled by energizing Mars can be! Balance comes by adding gentleness to independence and by tempering the Self with self-awareness.

Compatible With
Leo and Sagittarius.

Friendship
Fair in their opinions, they make good friends because of their honesty and reliability. Aries will never desert a friend in need.
