The Person |
|
Aries are famed for their
fiery, positive, outgoing nature. Considered among the
most enthusiastic of the zodiac children, they have high
energy levels and often fast-paced lifestyles. Aries are
straightforward in outlook, highly competitive, and enjoy
taking risks. Their fiery determination to accomplish
things sometimes encourages hot-headedness and rudeness.
Like the light-footed ram who represents their sign and
who is able to climb the most jagged of mountainsides with
grace and agility, Aries do all things in regardless of
obstacles. |

Love |
|
You are
romantic all year long. The Sun guides your romances
through Leo, so you definitely believe in love at first
sight. But you also know how to be best friends with your
lover- one of your best qualities as a mate.
You
fearless, spontaneous personality sometimes leads you to
get serious with someone before you know all the facts.
Save yourself needless heartbreak- find out whether he or
she is emotionally available before you ask for a date!
You are
often drawn to people who have a difficult time trusting
or who are bitter about love. Your tender heart may want
to comfort and protect them, but going out with them can
lead to frustration in the long run. Also avoid those who
like to play the field and have no intention of becoming
serious about anyone. They present a challenge that is
hard to resist, but their immaturity will lead to
unhappiness for you.
Rushing
into what seems to be a permanent relationship can be a
great mistake. Having said that, a really sound and
lasting Aries commitment to a lover- who is equally
enthusiastic, lively, and ready to experiment- can be
pretty good! |

Career |
|
You may
be a starry-eyed innocent when you’re in love, but you’re
all business when it comes to your career. Saturn, the
cosmic taskmaster, guides your work life through you to
make the most of your talents and personality to get ahead
in your chose field. Aries’ leadership ability is second
to none. No matter what field you work in, chances are
you’ll end up in charge of people and projects without
even trying. Your magnetic personality, decisiveness and
cool lead in a crisis make you a favorite with co-workers
and higher-ups alike. Many rams excel as soldiers, police
officers, fire fighters, salespeople, surgeons, business
executives and professional athletes. Your courage and
split-second timing allow you to make bold moves and take
risks. Some members of your sign save lives. Others simply
find ways to improve them.
Enthusiastic Rams are among the best at gathering support
for a project and getting it off the ground. But you are
not so great at finishing touches. Fortunately, Capricorn
energy supplies the self-discipline you need to see tasks
through to completion. |

|
Money |
|
Venus,
ruler of your financial sign, Taurus, gives you a good
head for figures and the willingness to work hard in order
to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. But with your Aries
impulsiveness, cash often slips through your fingers
before you have a chance to save for the future. If you
want to build a strong financial base, you must conquer
the temptation to spend!
There are
times when a sudden impulse can work to your advantage,
however. The Sun, which rules Aries’ gambling and
speculation through Leo, often brings you luck in the
lottery, at the racetrack or in the stock market. As long
as your bills are paid and you have put something aside in
savings, feel free to make a wager or investment. Pluto
guides your joint ventures through Scorpio, the sign of
big business, so you could do well with a partner whose
skills and interests complement yours. But don’t put up
money for a friend’s enterprise just because you like him
or her. In business, use your head, not your heart. |

Health, Diet, and
Exercise |
|
The key to Aries good health
is to make sure all your energy is positively used. If you
can balance your physical life properly, you should have
very few health problems- other than the occasional
headache. If you are plagued by headaches, it will be
worth your while to have a check up; a minor kidney
disorder may be the cause. It is a rare Aries who has not
fallen on his or her head at one time or another. In face,
you seem almost to enjoy bumping your head and cutting or
bruising yourself- sometimes simply because you are too
hasty and slightly careless.
Apart
from the bruises and sprains you bring upon yourself, you
do tend to be accident-prone. Mars, which rules Aries, can
make things worse. You probably find it difficult to slow
down in any activity you do, so be sure to take
appropriate precautions; always use pot holders, safety
helmets, and eye shields where appropriate. You probably
enjoy spicy foods- be careful; they can overheat you
blood- and you need plenty of protein. Your taste will be
for savory rather than sweet foods, and instead of sweets
you may enjoy dried fruits. Sports will be important to
you- ideally, competitive sports, which allow you to go
out and win. You will enjoy boxing, wrestling, and the
martial arts, but also aerobics and working on machines
that build strength and muscle power.
So watch
it, for example, when you are working in the kitchen with
sharp knives and boiling water. And if you are into
sports, be prepared for the occasional missing tooth,
muscle sprain, or even a broken bone. |

|
Leisure and Retirement |
|
Your
leisure time may be spent extending your work hours. For
example, if you are a car mechanic, you may well spend
your weekends working in the garage and your evenings
working with only bits of car on the kitchen table! Sports
may take up quite a lot of your leisure time as well. As
we have already suggested, working out in a gym or
participating in team sports will help you get rid of any
surplus energy or latent aggression!
You will
probably never lose your interest in do-it-yourself jobs,
and home brewing may appeal to you. If you have some
savings you can spare, you might like to play the stock
exchange. Insurance, mining, or steel will probably be
good investment for you. As far as more thoughtful
relaxation is concerned, you may enjoy debating and
arguing. You will be good at committee work, too, provided
you keep your cool. And you find astronomy fascinating.
And if you become interested in astrology, you will have
to learn about astronomy anyway!
If you
get bored with working out or feel you have just had
enough of it, you might think about getting a dog. Long
country walks, or even city strolls, will be enjoyable. |
