Overview

Aries opens the zodiac, and it shows. This is the sign of beginnings: direct, brave and quick to act. Ruled by Mars, Aries would rather try something and learn from it than wait for the perfect moment.

People with a strong Aries Sun are honest to the point of bluntness, competitive in a healthy way, and happiest when there is something new to start.

Strengths

  • Courage and initiative
  • Honest and direct
  • Energetic and motivating
  • Quick to forgive and move on

Challenges

  • Impatience with slow people and slow processes
  • Acting first and thinking later
  • A short temper when things feel blocked

In love

Aries loves with enthusiasm. They are not shy about showing interest, and they want a partner who can keep up and be honest in return. The lesson in love is patience: relationships grow slowly, even when the first spark is fast.
