Aries opens the zodiac wheel – it is the sign of people born between 21 March and 20 April, and it is ruled by Mars. Below you’ll find a traditional birthday horoscope for each day, a description of the Aries character, of how Aries loves and builds relationships, and a portrait of the man born under this sign. Remember that this describes tendencies, not a verdict – only an individual horoscope, taking into account the positions of all the planets, gives the full picture.
The Aries character in a nutshell
People born under Aries are brave, self-assured, stubborn, noble and trustworthy. They act quickly, though they sometimes make hasty decisions. They have a fairly good memory, and their courtesy and tolerance make them welcome company. Towards subordinates, however, they can be brusque and severe.
Aries women tend to be curious about the world, witty, hard-working and good-natured, taking care of their appearance and style; when they have money, they can spend it without restraint. Aries men can be hot-headed and nervous, but also very eloquent and distinguished – they rarely change a decision once made, and women find them attractive.
It matters a great deal to Aries to find their proper place – both at work and in life – because in the wrong surroundings their forceful character easily becomes a source of conflict.
Aries birthday horoscope – day by day
The traditional birthday horoscope assigns a slightly different set of traits to each day of the sign. Here is what it says about people born between 21 March and 20 April.
21 March
People born on this day have what it takes to play an important role in life. Their vitality and strong character allow them to go far. They persevere in whatever they start, and a very sharp intuition helps them make important decisions. Those around them, however, sometimes see them as quarrelsome.
22 March
These are changeable natures who carry many doubts and uncertainties within them. In their dealings with people they can be touchy and impetuous, and they strongly emphasise their independence. They are enterprising and quick-witted – financial security comes first for them, with family close behind.
23 March
They are regarded as wise and noble. They are marked by common sense and the ability to think logically. Those with a tough character are the ones who most often reach the top, because many people born on this day lack perseverance and mental resilience.
24 March
These are talented people with a curiosity about life, capable of reaching ground-breaking conclusions. They are very energetic and full of initiative, but they lack staying power and are easily prone to doubt. They sometimes react aggressively to criticism.
25 March
They are proud and hard-working, with artistic talents they often develop. They can foresee a great deal and take a stand of their own. They love novelty and are happy to break old patterns. They are diligent and meticulous, setting high standards for themselves and others. They believe in themselves and their worth, which can make them less tolerant and understanding. They are stubborn in their convictions – they find it hard to accept that they are not always right.
26 March
They like to philosophise; they are progressive and don’t cling to a single opinion. When they take something on, they act energetically and with conviction. They are kind-hearted, though they can be irritable and impatient. Their tendency to put on airs is sometimes stronger than their modesty.
27 March
Few people truly understand what lies within them, so it’s easy to form a false picture of them. They are wise, able to anticipate and avoid surprises – before making a decision, they test the ground. They set their goals in advance and pursue them steadily for much of their lives. They lack a little patience, and their gullibility sometimes gets them into trouble.
28 March
They are intelligent and highly ambitious. They react quickly to change, and their enterprising spirit brings them great success. They are open to new, even pioneering initiatives. Their emotional life matters a great deal to them, although living with them isn’t easy – they can be hot-tempered and blinded by their own ideals.
29 March
They have a strong will and faith in their own abilities. They strive for self-reliance and independence and like to see things through to the goal they’ve set. They can be impetuous, which they later regret. They are sometimes selfish, but they always remain loyal to their friends and loved ones.
30 March
Exceptionally gifted personalities are often born on this day. When they have a goal, they pursue it with all their might. They are bold and unyielding. They are irritable and explosive, but sincere – and generous towards family and friends.
31 March
These are brilliant, highly intelligent people with an optimistic outlook on life. They are guided by intuition and their own wisdom, and they are reluctant to take other people’s advice. In their dealings with others they are gentle and subtle, and in love they are deeply committed and devoted.
1 April
They are proud and courageous. They have enormous reserves of energy, which they put to good use, and ambition drives them towards ever harder tasks. In their feelings they are steady and faithful; in friendship and in difficult situations you can rely on them.
2 April
These are individualists who want to create great and original things. They have tremendous strength within them; they are hard-working, though they don’t like to overexert themselves. They can be too impetuous and greedy, and sometimes they manage to destroy what they took a long time and great effort to build.
3 April
They can harmoniously combine knowledge with the voice of the heart. They have charisma and are ambitious, noble and cheerful. They can, however, be gullible, and some of their actions miss the mark.
4 April
These are open-minded people of action, full of energy and ambition. They can’t bear idleness and follow their chosen goal consistently. Day to day they are pleasant, though they like to surround themselves with an aura of power. When things don’t go their way, they can react aggressively.
5 April
They would like to have everything at once. They stand out for their intelligence and drive, but they lack patience – even so, they don’t usually wait long for the results of their efforts. They rebel against orders and prohibitions regardless of who is right.
6 April
They hold original views, are unconventional and open to new things. They are very sociable and pleasant to those around them, and they usually enjoy great success with the opposite sex. They live life to the full and know how to enjoy its pleasures – but it’s hard to build anything lasting and peaceful with them.
7 April
Many people born on this day are happy souls, blessed with an optimism that makes life much easier for them. Even so, they often rely on the support of their family, because optimism alone isn’t always enough to move forward.
8 April
They are intelligent and enterprising, and they cope even in the most difficult situations. These are noble individuals who try to carry out their plans without doing so at the expense of others. They show their feelings openly – they can’t keep them bottled up for long.
9 April
As a rule these are outstanding and very inventive people, independent from an early age. They have a strong will that helps them resist temptation more easily. Even so, they can be vain and spiteful at times.
10 April
These are community-minded people who get enormous satisfaction from helping others. They are warm-hearted and loyal, and they try to behave with dignity, in keeping with the law and moral principles. Often, however, they are troubled by anxiety and uncertainty about tomorrow.
11 April
They like to be in charge, which doesn’t always win them the affection of those around them. They are bursting with energy and have great ambitions and leadership skills. They crave admiration and work for it all their lives. Their good intuition helps them choose friends well. They can be stubborn and ruthless, but this helps them succeed.
12 April
Sometimes they themselves don’t know what they want from life. They are intelligent and blessed with a vivid imagination, making grand plans and attaching great importance to them. But they lack concrete goals – they change them depending on their mood or the influence of others.
13 April
These are independent, mentally active and objective people. They are sensitive and tender, focused above all on their emotional life. They aren’t the most hard-working or persevering, yet they are lucky in love.
14 April
They have a tough character, inner strength and independence of thought. They are guided by their own perception of reality and are interested in new matters that have not yet been fully explored. They aren’t always fair – they judge other people’s good and bad deeds by their own yardstick.
15 April
These are noble and gifted people, especially in the arts. They are sincere and value the truth. Feelings play an important role in their lives. Sometimes they lack self-confidence, so they rarely reach for truly great goals.
16 April
They have a talent for leadership – they can lead others from a very young age. They are marked by a sense of responsibility for what they do. They are very progressive and inclined to tear down old structures.
17 April
These people live for love. They are intelligent and serious, and they usually find happiness in a relationship. They are kind and warm-hearted – happy to help with advice, action and even material support. They can, however, be too impatient.
18 April
They love freedom and room to act. They are independent in their views and very practical, adapting quickly to new situations. They are hard-working, but working with others doesn’t come easily to them.
19 April
They like to own things and pursue this aim consistently. They believe in their own abilities and are convinced they are destined to play an important role in life. They are hard-working, but they change their minds and views too often, which makes it hard for them to build a great career.
20 April
These are exceptional people with an innate knack for standing out from the crowd. They have an outstanding mind, are consistent and persevering, and charming into the bargain – they easily win people over. Their weakness is impulsiveness and too little flexibility.
Aries in love and relationships
Aries expects love to be full of never-ending adventures. A partner must be ready to keep up with them in constant motion, not complain, and take care to remain fascinating to them. In practice, it’s best to share their passions, admire what they admire and take their whims with good humour.
In a relationship Aries likes to lead – if they stop feeling that they have a say in shared decisions, they begin to drift away. Anyone who wants to win them over should have plenty of imagination and a touch of unattainability: Aries is most committed when they have to court someone. At the same time, their partner shouldn’t be a dependant in need of constant support, but an ally – someone who walks beside them, not behind them.
Aries men stand out for their directness and readiness to act, which others can find very attractive. Aries women often look for a partner who will accept their strong position in the relationship while still being attractive to them. Many Aries get involved with people younger than themselves – someone their own age doesn’t always give them a sense of security, and is also harder to influence.
In long-term relationships Aries can be a true support for their partner, especially when unexpected troubles strike. They do, however, remember that declarations alone aren’t enough – actions are what count. Jealousy rarely pays off for them, and minor emotional problems are easier to solve calmly than with an outburst. When Aries doesn’t find what they’re looking for in a relationship, they may stay in it, but they’ll grumble and hurry their partner along until the relationship falls apart of its own accord. Aries who value their freedom highly and are choosy may also simply walk away.
Young Aries are prone to passionate romances, sometimes ones that are remembered for a lifetime. Mature Aries are more level-headed and try to be constant in their feelings. Honesty is crucial for this sign: small lies that come to light can destroy even the most promising relationship.
The Aries man – strengths and weaknesses
The Aries man likes to take the lead in a relationship, but in return he knows how to surround his partner with care and protection.
How do you win an Aries heart?
For Aries, it isn’t only the goal that counts, but the chase. He loves to conquer, so he is usually more intrigued by someone who doesn’t pursue him pushily and keeps her own independence. He loves challenges and obstacles – the longer he has to try, the more committed he becomes. He is drawn to mystery and happily takes on the role of protector. As a rule he values charm, subtlety and a hint of the unspoken in a partner.
Aries as a lover
In intimate matters he is passionate, spontaneous and daring, yet attuned to his partner’s desires. He doesn’t like to wait long – his imagination and boldness mean that almost any moment seems right to him for showing his feelings.
Will Aries make a good husband?
It isn’t easy to persuade Aries to marry, but once he has made up his mind he can be an exemplary husband. He needs to feel appreciated and important – then he will do a great deal to make his loved one happy. Everyday household chores aren’t his strong point, but he makes up for it with his enterprising spirit and infectious optimism. For a relationship with Aries to last, appreciate him, praise him and show him that he is noticed and loved.
Aries’ weaknesses
Aries can be hot-headed and doesn’t always take other people’s opinions into account. When provoked he can be quarrelsome, and he shows impatience towards people who can’t keep up with his train of thought. He remembers wrongs for a long time and pursues his due with determination – with Aries it’s better to resolve conflicts openly, before they grow.
Who does Aries make a happy match with?
Traditionally, Aries’ strongest relationships are with Leo and Sagittarius – signs that share its fire, enthusiasm and need for action.
Aries at work and with money
Aries are well suited to making money: they bring strength, fresh ideas and determination, and when they really take matters into their own hands, they can achieve financial success. They feel most at home where they can act independently and quickly.
