Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac. Their attitude is similar to their order in the Zodiacs. An Aries tends to be the leader and first to venture into new territory. They provide great motivation for new ventures and projects, but don't expect them to stay for the long haul. People are drawn to them and their enthusiasm. They wake up and eagerly face the new day at hand as another challenge to overcome. The Aries symbol is the Ram, their element is Fire and color is red. And at times they can act it. Having a go-getter attitude can rub some the wrong way. The ram can be very forthright and straightforward, perhaps sounding harsh. It’s not meant to hurt feelings but to encourage and motivate. They have a definite drive to compete and be victorious. Aries can accomplish a lot.

Aries are courageous and possess blind faith. They summon fearless energy to take on the world. Their stamina is ongoing and they can stick it out with the last of them (but probably won’t). They tend to move to another challenge before completing the task at hand. Their high energy is good for motivation and start-up situations. Not to say Aries won't contribute, they will and will be of great help. They can be very physical and confrontational on the playing field. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets in the way of thinking things through and while they may not have the results desired, at least it’s not due to lack of effort. Aries will stand by their actions. There is only one way for the Aries, and that’s full steam ahead. They can come off as selfish and very aggressive. The Aries is the "I AM" or "I EXIST" sign and can appear to be selfish and self-centered.

To an Aries, love is a necessity, for it is part of life. They can easily take love in but sometimes don't return love fully. An Aries needs to be reminded at times (between their conquests) that love is in the air or at least not far.

Aries possess great strength and a real "go-getter" way of looking at life. They have a heart-tugging innocence that can serve them well in leadership. Full of energy and spirit, Aries are great for getting projects started.
