Aries Personality

Aries is passionate, dynamic and driven by instinct and inspiration, and a Cardinal sign — an initiator who starts things and leads. Ruled by Mars, Aries is known for being bold, direct, pioneering and competitive.

At their best, Aries radiates courage, honesty and initiative. The shadow side to watch is impatience, impulsiveness and a quick temper — the very intensity that makes Aries compelling can tip into difficulty when unchecked.

Aries in Love

In relationships, Aries pursues hard and loves the chase, but needs a partner who keeps the spark alive. In conversation, Aries is blunt and fast — says exactly what it thinks.
