Aries & Love

You take the same approach to love that you do in every area of your life, Aries You view dating as a fun game, a competition between you and everyone else, and you don’t mind having to fight for someone a little. Actually, if they have other people who’ll compete with you for their attention, you’re even more interested.

You have a hard time being tied down, loving your independence and the fun of dating too much. It can be hard for someone to hold your attention as well. You need someone who will keep you on your toes, with energy that matches yours, and has an equally positive outlook on life. They need to be their own person and be able to take care of themselves so you can have the independence you crave.

Once you do commit to someone, you can be a fun person to be in a relationship with, as long as they don’t need to check in all of the time. Clingy isn’t something that you’re into. You can also have a temper, but it’s always short-lived, and no matter how bad the fight is, you rarely hold a grudge. For the most part, you forgive and forget quickly.

The signs that you’re most compatible with are usually the signs in the same element as yours, which are Leo and Sagittarius. These two signs share in your energy, enthusiasm, and spunk. Leo will bring the warmth you need into your life, and Sagittarius will bring the intellectual stimulation. Leo can bring out the romantic in you, and Sagittarius can bring out the adventurer. You’ll be sure to have a good time with either of them, and feel comfortable with them.

Your opposing zodiac sign is usually the one you have the most sparks with, and for you, that’s Libra. Their indecision may infuriate you, their cool demeanor baffles you, and their compromising solutions test your must-win spirit, but there won’t be any passion missing, and it’ll always be interesting as you challenge one another on a constant basis to grow in ways you never would otherwise.

Aries & Money & Career

When it comes to money, you have a hard time holding on to it. You don’t think too far into the future, so you’re not big on financial planning, and it takes a while before you learn the art of saving. You have no trouble spending when the mood strikes you, and you can be an impulse shopper, so you should leave cash and credit cards at home if you don’t want to spend money you shouldn’t. You insist on doing things yourself, but financial planning may be the one area you should consider getting help with.

When it comes to your profession, you do best in environments where you’re the boss or you mostly work on your own. Having a group to take into consideration isn’t your thing, having a partner to check in with irritates you, and having someone else call the shots and tell you what to do sets you off. You need plenty of freedom to do as you please.

With all of your energy, you can do a lot of work, but with how easily you get bored and jump into something else, it’s hard for you to see work through. Since you like physical activity, some of you would be good athletes or personal trainers, or work in sports.

Since you like to work on your own, you can be a good entrepreneur or business owner, if you stick with things long enough. As long as you have a grip on your own anger (and ego), you can make a good boss because you know how to lead people. Ultimately, any career you go into should be one that holds your interest. Some other professions for Aries are: soldier, police officer, firefighter, optometrist, arson investigator, physical therapist.

Aries & Health

You tend to be a pretty healthy sign, with accidents being your main issue, especially as a kid. You have so much energy and are constantly going, and you don’t always pay attention to what’s around you. Remember, never run with scissors! As for actual health issues, Aries rules the head, so you can suffer from headaches or migraines, especially if you’re stressed out, as well as fevers. You can also experience issues with your nose (like bad sinuses), ears (like ear infections), eyes (like sties), or skin (like acne).

Aries General

Aries, you’re the first sign in the Zodiac, the astrological newborn. As the first sign, you don’t have any of the baggage that the other signs carry, allowing you to approach everything in life with enthusiasm. You’re attracted to anything new, and you’re constantly pursuing things, always excited about whatever new trail you’re blazing, and you bring your enthusiasm with you.

Not jaded like the other signs can be, your positive outlook keeps your from getting stuck in any bad moods for very long. You love to smile, laugh, and enjoy yourself, and you value your independence. You don’t want to rely on anyone else to get things done or make you happy. You’re perfectly capable of doing that on your own, and you want to.

Once you decide to do something, you get to it quickly without much thought or planning, and since you really only like the adrenaline rush of the beginning, you get bored easily, becoming impatient when things don’t happen the way you want right away, and you have trouble seeing things through. You’re the type who starts a million projects but never finishes any of them. If you could learn a little discipline, it would take you far.

You have plenty of energy to do whatever you want to do, so you don’t have to worry about that, but if you don’t have enough to do, you get restless, agitated, and prone to accidents, so it’s important for you to be physically active and keep a busy schedule. Most others might suffer a total collapse from the kind of schedule you need, but they don’t have the abundant energy that you have. Harness your energy so it’s not all over the place with no direction. When it has something to focus on, you’ll be able to do incredible things.

You’re the pioneer of the Zodiac, Aries, the one who can go where no one else has gone before, and you do so with a smile on your face and excitement in your soul that’s hard to match, squash, or not be in awe of.

Natal Planets & House Cusps in Aries:

Natal Moon in Aries
You react impulsively and using your instinct to situations. You have a short fuse and you blow your top at a moments notice, but you’re not one to hold a grudge (unless you’ve got a lot of Scorpio or a prominent Pluto in your chart). Usually, you just let things go, not taking them to heart, and move on quickly, because you’re always looking for the next thing. You crave action, and need to have something to do all the time, or you’ll get anxious and irritable. This placement is highly impatient, and you don’t want things done now or yesterday, you want them done a week ago! Nothing operates as fast as you’d like it to be, so learning patience can be beneficial (though if you have a lot of earth in your chart, you may not be as impatient as other Aries moons). To feel emotionally secure, you need independence, and anyone who tries to smother you is not someone you’ll want to be around. You can be hard to pin down, and this may be difficult in relationships, though you may be romantic. You need people who are able to not only keep up with you, but actually provide you with some stimulation. When stressed, physical action can help you calm yourself, so try going for a walk or run, dancing, swimming, anything that keeps you active.

Natal Mercury in Aries
With your natal Mercury in Aries, you don’t beat around the bush. You get right to the point, and some people appreciate that, while others find you too aggressive. You can come up with ideas that you’re enthusiastic about, but generally don’t dwell on the details. You love to begin new projects, but you can jump from one to the next quickly, always finding something else that catches your interest. This could’ve been a problem in school, where you didn’t get something right away so you’d give up on it, and you may have come across as less intelligent than you actually were. You don’t wait around for other people to make decisions for you, and make them for yourself rather quickly, which can get you in trouble sometimes.

Natal Venus in Aries
With your natal Venus in Aries, you don’t take love too seriously. You have a child-like approach to love and relationships, an innocence about you, and you need for things to be exciting or you get bored. Something has to always be happening, and you don’t mind if it’s daring or spontaneous. You’re honest with your love, and you expect the same in return. You like to chase rather than be chased, so it can be hard to keep you tied down for long, and especially in your younger years, you may go from one relationship to the next quickly. You can be impatient with your loves, and have a hard time with the responsibilities that come along with a relationship. You can also be almost selfish in love, wanting to get all of the attention and not being considerate of the other person.

Natal Mars in Aries
With your natal Mars in Aries, you can’t sit around and wait for things to happen. You have to take action, and you have to do it right now. You love beginning something new, and by doing so, you keep from getting bored by life. You can be impulsive and direct.

When you get mad, you lose it in the moment, but it’s gone quickly. You’re decisive and can follow your gut. You like to do things on a whim, and don’t want to think about what you’re doing too much.
