The Aries Personality Type

The Aries Personality Type

by Brigid Bishop

Now here’s a real firecracker!

Aries is the very first sign of the zodiac, really kicks things off in a big way, sort of like the “Big Bang Theory” of Astrology.

As the first sign of the Zodiac, it is also considered the “infant” of the zodiac wheel.  More “young souls” are found under this fiery and impulsive sign than under any other sign of the zodiac.  Here is where our souls begin to learn our karmic lessons, frequently being one of our first three incarnations.

Both males and females of this assertive sign seem to emerge from a metaphysical fountain of youth.  Even when they are octogenarians they still seem to have a childlike exuberance about them.

Aries is ruled by Mars, a very energetic planet indeed, even impulsive, so expect your Arian to be a bit of a go-getter in all areas of life.

Mars is a very war-like planet and as such influences those born under its’ rule in a way that makes them literally seek out and destroy competition and opposing forces.  This is someone that you will want “on your side” when facing difficulties, without a doubt, and can make a fearsome opponent if on the other side of the battle field.

Aries of both sexes tend to live “out loud”, why hide what you are doing?  If you don’t believe in living life your way then change the way you are living, don’t hide it!  Aries will be very straightforward with you whether you like it or not!

Aries Men truly do believe that there are heroes and villains in this world, and they want to be your hero.  They want to be your “Knight in Shining Armor” and expect your praise and admiration to be very generously given to them for being that hero to you.  An Aries Man is brave to begin with, but will also be the man who would give all he has to ensure your happiness if he really loves you and feels your love for him.

Aries Women are just as strong and fiery as their male counterparts and have a hard time being a passive feminine energy, they are “take action” kind of women and will make things happen, whether you want them to or not!  She demands your attention and is the kind of woman who, upon entering a room, gives off a “Regal Bearing” that draws many male admirers to her.  Although she enjoys receiving attention, she is loyal to those she loves.

The down-side of an Arian personality which may be difficult for some other signs to digest, is that true to their placement on the Zodiac Wheel, they generally do have a “Me First!” attitude in life.  They like to be in charge and they are very impulsive by nature.

Due to the Aries sign being childlike in exuberance, they frequently may fail to be a good judge of character and may actually find themselves hurt when those they have chosen to trust in error hurt or betray them, they just don’t comprehend disloyalty.

Being first in your life makes them feel good.

With Aries of both sexes it is IMPERATIVE (did I write that in all caps), that you treat your relationship with them as if you never had a prior experience that comes close to comparing to the connection you have with them.  NEVER (did I use all caps) discuss your exes with them.  It will make them feel like they are a rerun or not fresh and new, and it hurts them, they must feel that they are first.

When dating an Aries of either sex it is important that you experience things for the FIRST TIME with THEMand let them KNOW IT.  It can be something as simple as trying a new cuisine or visiting someplace you never were before, but make an effort to keep your relationship with an Aries full of FIRSTS and you will have a very pleasant experience indeed!
