Aries 20th March - 19th April

Being a fire sign, Aries is one of the noisy signs of the zodiac and takes a positive, upbeat and straightforward approach to life. What you see is what you get! Ruled by the planet Mars which is to do with self - assertion and physical energy, most Arians have an abundance of physical energy that needs to be channelled through sport or activities of a competitive nature. Aries is the action man of the zodiac and always likes to win and be first in everything, so they make great leaders and sportspeople. In mythology, Aries was the god of war, so aggressive proclivities are not uncommon and it is probably the most likely sign to get into a fight.

Direct and upfront, Aries gets straight to the point and doesn't mess about or mince their words. The most likely zodiac sign to take a risk, Aries often dives in head first (Aries rules the head!) without thinking and so has gained a reputation for being rash, impulsive and lacking in patience. It is not hard to spot an Aries as they are very sexy, self - confident, assertive and like to be noticed. Being the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is very independent and likes to set their own agenda, however they can be rather self centred, putting their needs as a priority.
