Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and that's pretty much how those born under this sign see themselves the first. Aries are the leaders of the pack, first in line to get things going. The symbol of Aries is the Ram ruled by Mars. The element associated with Aries is Fire. Think action, enthusiasm and a burning desire to play the game. Aries love physicality, so they won't sit on the sidelines for long, if at all. The great strength of the Aries-born is in their initiative, courage and determination. Aries subjects are courageous leaders with a genuine concern for those they command, being responsible people, it is rare that they will use their subordinates to obtain their own objectives as leaders, but occasionally it does happen. They do not make very good followers because they are too "take charge".

 It will not matter where you go or how remote or unusual it is - from the Outback to the Antarctic - you can be sure that an Aries has been there before you (or at the very least you will meet one along the way!) Aries is a uniquely naive sign. Although they are independent, outgoing and assertive they are also surprisingly trusting, often innocently walking into the lion's den at times. No matter what upheaval, challenge or triumph they confront - an Aries has a wonderful ability to bounce back. Their faith in life and the future remains untouched by hardship. Their gift is that they are always children at heart and the world is always a magical place for them. Many famous sports people are born under this sign. Aries is regarded as the most physical sign and because of its Mar's rulership; it is also one of the most highly charged masculine energy signs in astrology.

When it comes to achieving their ambition, all Aries are very goal oriented and can do anything and everything to achieve them. They always want to be first and are efficient enough to take up and follow through on every project they undertake. They will never give up no matter what the difficulties come and they will move ahead, to achieve their goals. Their energy, vivacity and eagerness is an inspiration to others.

The crazy energy level that an Arian possesses is not something that can be missed. Even in the middle of the night, they will be up for some outdoor activity or fun with all the energy. And not just alone, they’ll ask you to accompany as well even though they won’t force you for anything.

One of the best and worst characteristics of Aries is that they blindly trust people which often let others use and mistreat them. They are repeatedly back stabbed, hurt, abused, but still an Arian never seems to learn. They expect everyone else to speak the truth as they do. No matter how often their trust is broken, they always get up, forget the hurt and move on.

Being spontaneous also makes them adventurous, as it requires one to be full of energy and passion. Hence, they never think once to get on long drives or faraway journeys. The positive Aries have a questing nature and loves to take full advantage of opportunities coming their way.

The high energy Aries man is always up for a challenge in both his personal and professional lives. New tasks, lost causes – bring them on and this man will attack them with unparalleled enthusiasm. However patience is not a virtue of the Aries man and he quickly tires of any project that moves too slowly. The Aries man isn't as concerned about money as he is about maintaining his freedom and independence. Characteristically impulsive, this man will buy what he wants, but doesn't always need.

An Aries woman is eager and enthusiastic, she is the alpha female of the pack, always at the front of the queue and kick-starting everything from projects to dinner dates. A fearless and natural leader, an Aries woman is charismatic, energetic, and dynamic.
