Love Signs

Aries the Ram

Cardinal Fire Sign
Ruling planet: Mars
Occupation: Leader
Number: 9
Color: Ruby or crimson red, true blue, and white
Gem: Ruby

Have you recently met an unusually friendly person with a forceful manner, a firm handclasp and an instant smile? Get ready for a dizzy dash around the mulberry bush. You've probably just been adopted by an Aries. Especially if you found it a little tough to take the lead in the conversation. Is he committed to some idealistic cause and angrily defending the underdog? That figures.

Male or female, these people will fight what they feel is an injustice on the spot, and they're not bashful about voicing their opinions. The ram will talk back to a traffic cop or an armed gangster with equal vigor, if either one happens to annoy him. He may regret it later, but caution won't concern him in the heat of the moment.

Mars people come straight to the point, with no shilly-shallying. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. It represents birth, as Pisces represents death and consciousness of the soul. The ram is conscious only of himself.

The ARIES Man

That creaturever there making a phone call - is it an electronically charged dynamo? Is it a flaming torch? Is it a bird, an explosion - or is it Superman? Well, practically. It's an Aries male, which is pretty close. Let's hope you know what you're looking for. Should it be excitement, an Aries man will provide it by the bushel, with seldom a dull moment to blur the sparkle. But if you're looking for the security and contentment of a soothing love, you're in the wrong telephone booth.

The ARIES Woman

So you're in love with an Aries girl. I don't know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you. When Byron wrote that "Man's love is of man's life a thing apart; 'tis woman's whole existence," he forgot about the Aries woman. She may think love is her whole existence, but she's too vitally absorbed in the world around her, not to mention in herself, for it to be the beginning and end of her life. She can get along without a man easier than any female you'll ever meet.

Aries Employee Profile

Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters. They'll usually want to be out in the field at a variety of different work sites fixing things. They certainly won't be happy for very long behind a desk in a 9 to 5 schedule. The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a square hole will typically be restless, angry, and careless with details. No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in a routine job.

Money in fact isn't why they are working at all. They do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to satisfy their competitive tendencies - but even more importantly, they'll want challenging new projects. They typically like to have a sense of responsibility and need to feel needed. In return, they'll give their all and provide detailed, consistent work. They will literally work themselves to exhaustion to prove themselves.

If you want to keep your Aries co-worker productive and happy, you'll want to give them the opportunity to work independently or let them help and lead less experienced workers.

Labors of Love - Career Guide

You were born to earn your daily bread as a LEADER of thought and action. You'll never be truly content in a subordinate position, carrying out the concepts of others, unless you're using it merely as a stepladder to the top. To labor with love, you must either be the Big Boss-or be your own boss. You must either be at the head of things, the one in charge-or be self-employed as the captain of your own ship, so to speak. Working in an occupation that prevents you from conceiving and exploiting your own ideas could result in physical fatigue, mental tension, and emotional depression, which can eventually lead to chronic illness.

You'll be successful in a profession that harmonizes with your Cardinal FIRE nature. Fire translates into anything exciting and capable of arousing instant enthusiasm in yourself and others. You need to "lead the parade on a white horse," trailing red ribbons and pink balloons-and to have the opportunity to display your talent for penetrating straight to the heart of any issue. You belong in any endeavor that allows you to attract attention and be recognized, preferably where there's someone to lovingly protect you from your often misplaced trust, naivete, generosity, and rashness-but not fence you in, because you cease to function when you're not totally free to give of yourself and impulsively pioneer all kinds of new beginnings. You'll cheerfully and successfully initiate just about anything. You're a great, even a flawless "opener." But leave the closing of deals and the tying up of loose ends to others, please. Thank you.

An Apple a Day - Health Guide

Aries rules: The head, face (except nose), the cerebral hemispheres of the brain.

Physical effects: Fire Signs are more likely to suffer from fulminating illnesses, high fevers, and maladies which strike suddenly in the parts of the body ruled by the particular Sun Sign of the Fire Element. Recuperative ability is usually strong and swift. Rarely do Rams, Lions, Lionesses, and Archers experience chronic or long-lasting illnesses.
