Aries

Aries Zodiac Sign

Named after Ares, the Greek god of war, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, embodying boldness, initiative, and unyielding energy. Aries is also linked to the legendary Golden Fleece, the coveted skin of the mythical winged ram that carried Phrixus and Helle to safety. Those born under this fiery sign, typically from March 21 to April 19, are natural leaders who charge forward with passion and an unshakable drive to conquer new challenges.

When you’re named after the Roman god of war, then you already know you’re dealing with a powerful zodiac sign! As the first sign in astrology, you, dear Aries, were born between March 21st and April 19. That’s right. You’re number one! Symbolized by the ram, of the element fire, and ruled by action planet Mars, Aries is a go-getter warrior. You’re like a real life action star, dodging explosions and zipping off in your fast racecar after winning the fight against the bad guy.

Famous Aries who have listened to the planet Mars and taken advantage of its famous energy have been Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Vincent van Gogh, Johann Sebastian Bach, Charlie Chaplin, Elton John, Russell Crowe, Robert Downey, Jr., and Lady Gaga. They certainly have energy and know where they’re going!

“Just Do It,” the Aries Motto

For you lovely Aries guys and gals, your action-taking personality leaves others astonished. They can’t believe how much personal energy you have, and how you just take life in stride. “Just do it,” Nike’s famous motto, could be your personal mantra. You don’t overthink, and you certainly don’t understand others who do. For you, if there’s not action steps to take, you quickly get bored or lose interest. Why sit around talking, thinking, discussing, or contemplating – when you could be doing?

Speaking of discussions, your words are very direct, honest, straightforward, and blunt. You don’t believe in sugarcoating things and you far prefer to ‘tell it like it is.’ You also get, shall we say, sidetracked? You love the newness of the moment and the thrill of the chase, so having that stick-to-it factor to see projects through to the end point is not your strength.

You, Aries, live in the moment. The time is now, you’re seizing the day, and you don’t have time to wait around for slow pokes.

Fired Within From Mars

Aries the ram is motivated from within, by the fire coming from the planet Mars. You not only love being first, you enjoy leading others with your energetic personality. You look up to the great action heroes and superheroes, imagining yourself to be a real life Bruce Willis type of character who rushes in to seize the day.

You’re also motivated by your loved ones. You want to protect them and stand up for them, to be their champion when times are tough. Call on your inner warrior for help. You can be amazingly magnanimous, understanding on a deep level how to fight the good fight. When you’re motivated to help hundreds or thousands of people in need, fighting for the cause, nobody does it better than you!

Aries keeps up that motivation, too. You’re allergic to anything slow, deliberate, or plodding. You’re on to the next thing faster than most people can blink. You not only seize the moment – you live every hour as if it’s your last. Gotta get everything done!

Get Your Body Moving!

The next time you watch a football game, you’ll see Aries doing what they do best. This sign absolutely dominates the world of sports. You’re athletically gifted, with a powerful body, a competitive attitude, and the desire to push yourself to the limits. Your body is your vehicle for life – so use it!

You can also have fun with other athletic hobbies. Try getting out in nature and rock climbing, long-term camping and backpacking, or hiking. You could enjoy archery, fencing or sword fighting, the entire martial arts spectrum, or fitness and body building. Many Aries also find their true calling in the ‘stuntman’ field, adept at living the daredevil life as a career.

Aries love cars! Especially racecars, muscle cars, and sports cars. You probably consider your car your most prized possession. You also love other fast, loud, noisy vehicles like motorcycles, ATVs, and speedboats. Anything with the word ‘speed’ in it is going to get your attention.

Creative Aries draws from that personal fire and can produce amazing things from it, like van Gogh’s bright color paintings, Bach’s symphonies, or writers Tom Clancy and James Patterson’s action thriller books. Aries actors like Charlie Chaplin, Laurence Olivier, Robert Downey, Jr., and Alec Baldwin are famous for their funny, devil-may-care attitudes on the stage or screen. Aries director Quentin Tarantino has made a name for himself in Hollywood by using stunts, action, and violence in his movies.

Aries the Fighting Champion

You can be so spontaneous and daring, dear Aries, that it’s a wild ride to just keep up with you. You never lose your little-kid enthusiasm for pretending you’re a superhero, cape and all. You behave with fun and have an unfailing optimistic attitude that astonishes other signs.

However, all of that energy can turn to a more selfish side, and that selfishness could be your number one weakness, Aries. You love being number one, and you don’t share that throne easily. The flip side of having so much energy? Impatience! To you, being slow and deliberate might as well be the biggest problem with how the rest of the world operates. But, truly, you are the fast one! Can you honestly expect all seven billion people in the world to live at such a frenetic pace?

You’ll be better off in life if you work to champion others, not run over them on your way to the top … and … remember that your 100-mile-an-hour pace isn’t going to work for everyone. Patience is, as they say, a virtue, and you might want to practice it. It’s hard – but it just might benefit you.

Aries the Warrior

As an Aries, you get more done in a week than the rest of us get done in a lifetime. You’re out on the football field calling plays, striving for a record-breaking time in your field, pushing yourself to achieve new things, or simply having fun bombing around in your fast car. Everything you do is brimming with enthusiasm, energy, and the strength of action planet Mars. As long as you pour that energy into leading mankind towards fighting the good fight, you’ll always find yourself exactly where you want to be – ahead!
