This is the sign of new beginnings. Its ruling planet is Mars. When it expresses itself positively, it creates people of action – people who do not bother with theoretical deliberation but get straight down to business.
They want to keep moving forward all the time. However, Aries does not always finish what it starts, usually for lack of time and patience.
These people like an active, dynamic life. Time and again, though, they overestimate their strength, and so they pay dearly for the experience they gain.
Aries is a fighter by nature, quick to act and unwilling to get drawn into long discussions.
The opposite sex, and their interest in it, plays a very large role in their lives. They enjoy competitive sport or simply being physically active.
An Aries Ascendant gives a very lively, restless character. Rivalry, a desire to stand out and a great zest for life are the traits of people born under the influence of an Aries Ascendant.

This sign is marked by aggression and drive, as well as a fiery temperament, self-confidence and stubbornness. Aries is active and has the makings of a good leader, although Aries is not always kind to subordinates. Aries’s negative traits are selfishness, a quick temper and recklessness.
Aries is a sign pushed into action by an invisible force and always wants to have the last word. Aries is impulsive, optimistic and impatient, and there is very rarely any malice in its nature. It loves novelty, new ventures and new acquaintances. Sometimes new friends capture more of its attention, which can loosen older, more lasting bonds. Aries has a remarkable gift for renewing friendships and romantic ties. It always acts openly and sincerely. It is self-assured and makes no secret of it.
In love Aries is romantic and devoted, yet it enjoys obstacles and difficulties in the game of love.
At work Aries shows its best only when working independently, with room to realise its own ideas. It likes others to do the work while it basks in the glory. What grates about Aries is that it considers itself better and cleverer than others and would talk about nothing but itself.
- Working life
Aries people like to work and cannot stand boredom or idleness. They carry out their duties in exemplary fashion, and employers have no complaints about them. Even so, Aries prefer to work for themselves, so they often set up their own businesses, which tend to thrive.
When an Aries is belittled by a boss, they are likely to walk out of the job without stopping to think whether they can afford it.
If Aries finds work they love, they can turn it into money. Aries’s ideal occupations involve a touch of heroism while also giving them the chance to pursue their own initiatives. Such work should neither wear them down with monotony nor demand subordination.
Aries follows instinct when choosing work and is not suited to conservative jobs.
Anyone who turns against an Aries may regret it. Aries will hatch some scheme and destroy the opponent in the battle for a position or a good name.
Aries runs on stimuli and incentives that push it forward.
- Aries in everyday life
Aries is dynamic, so its interests are usually linked to movement and spending free time intensely.
It has lots of ideas, so it quickly tires of any activity and is lured by the next one.
It likes to win, team games included. It cannot stand routine. Its life resembles a string of adventures, because it is constantly experimenting with passions and interests.
Aries runs its own life, so it also finds time for pleasure and fun.
It loves social gatherings, especially sudden, spontaneous ones. It is happy to talk about sport and politics, even if it is not especially well informed. It avoids long, dull debates, though. It does almost everything on impulse, following the heart and acting spontaneously. Every day has to bring plenty of excitement. Its interests are varied but fleeting, as are the kinds of entertainment it enjoys.
Aries is passionate about competitive sports. It loves cars, motorbikes and running, and Aries people also have musical talent.
The Aries woman has fairly typical hobbies. She enjoys travel, reading and collecting, and spends her free time with friends in pubs and at parties.
The Aries woman is independent and very sensible.
Aries needs plenty of exercise, because it has to burn off its energy somewhere. It does not try to avoid difficult situations; instead, it resolves them quickly and cleverly.
Aries is not one to waste time on pointless deliberation: while others are still weighing up methods and putting off getting started, Aries has long since done what needs doing.
- The Aries home
The Aries home reflects its owner’s personality. Aries loves space, so whenever possible it has a spacious house or flat.
Aries dreams of a large villa or an apartment opening onto a garden, so it can get outside as quickly as possible.
The most important rooms for Aries are an open-plan kitchen and dining room, and the bedroom.
Aries loves space and nature. The décor of an Aries home is usually simple, the walls are in muted colours, and there is usually little furniture.
Aries will knock down walls, because it likes space at home. Aries values freedom, the chance to act without constraint and to give itself over to dreams. It likes wooden furniture and objects made of metal and glass with clean forms and a clear style.
It does not like fitted carpets and much prefers glossy varnished floors.
You are unlikely to see family photos on the walls – more likely unusual landscapes.
- Aries appearance – the Aries man is the masculine type women dream of, because in their eyes he embodies great strength. Beneath his wild exterior lie deep emotional experiences and dreams.
- The Aries man often knows how to make great use of his body. Aries who look after themselves also take care of their physique and work to sculpt it.
- Aries have a gentle profile. They hold their chin high to give themselves an air of emotional superiority. True to their ram symbol, Aries have thick heads of hair. Their features are often noble and expressive, like statues of ancient gods.
- The Aries woman combines personal charm with inner strength. Her eyes often throw down a challenge to men.
- People born under this sign do not walk – they run. They like to be on the move and are almost always in a hurry somewhere. Some may find Aries a little rough around the edges or simply impetuous, but nobody doubts their sincerity and honesty.
- Aries has a reputation as a likeable person and is considered a good friend: loyal and helpful.
- The Aries psyche
People born under this sign lack neither verve nor energy. Aries are mentally strong and physically very resilient, which helps them recover quickly.
They are noble, brave, spontaneous and sincere. Aries are usually cheerful, carefree and bursting with joy of life.
Anyone who does business with an Aries need not worry about the outcome: Aries will lead the way to material success. It loves expanding its knowledge in fields that bring in money.
Aries have many strengths. They think logically and creatively. They have bold ideas and see them through. Aries are usually lucky.
Aries enjoys every form of action and activity, which can sometimes lead to mistakes it later deeply regrets.
Aries loves adventure, an active life and change. Even so, it loves living in the countryside, surrounded by greenery, rather than in a crowded city.
Aries do not like waiting too long for success. Aries would like to have everything at once, and when it does not come quickly, it flies into a rage.
It often blows things out of proportion and simply exaggerates. Aries needs to learn to use time calmly and rationally and to wait patiently, rather than run this constant race that only leads to mental and physical exhaustion.
Aries cannot stand routine and the grey everyday. By giving in to emotions and tension, Aries risks nervous exhaustion and burnout. Yet it can regain its strength and peace of mind, and the best way to do so is sleep. One of Aries’s bigger faults is a tendency to impose its tastes and views on others.
Aries love compatibility
- Aries – PISCES

The Aries woman loves to be in charge, which may irritate the Pisces man. Life at his side may be too monotonous for her, so she will look for happiness elsewhere.
- Aries man – Pisces woman
The Aries man and the Pisces woman are very strongly attracted to each other. With Pisces, Aries feels like a true lover, tender and passionate, and the Pisces woman soaks it up perfectly.
There is complete harmony, but a problem may arise when the Pisces woman can no longer tolerate Aries’s infidelity.

The Taurus man wants to give his partner the highest possible standard of living, but she loves adventure and risk, so the Aries woman is often irritated by Taurus and his homebody ways.
- Aries man – Taurus woman
The Aries man wants his partner to support him in every venture. The Taurus woman can be possessive, which torments and annoys Aries. If Aries wants to be with such a partner, he must tame his seducer’s temperament.
- Aries – ARIES
Both radiate energy and daring. They often fall in love at first sight. At first they may live in harmony, but in time they may begin to compete with each other. They are too alike to form a truly worthwhile relationship.
- Aries – CANCER

The Cancer man’s tenderness irritates the Aries woman. Even so, she is willing to become his wife. Still, the Cancer man is unable to dominate her.

- Aries – GEMINI
- Aries woman – Gemini man
The Aries woman values the Gemini man’s open mind and imagination. She wants to be accepted just as she is – and the Aries woman can be changeable and tempestuous. Gemini, however, craves freedom, so both of them may end up being unfaithful.

- Aries – VIRGO
- Aries woman – Virgo man
The Aries woman is irritated by the suspicion and caution of the Virgo man, who does not impress her in the slightest. She considers him gloomy and accuses him of lacking feeling and falling into routine. He thinks she is too impulsive and direct and cannot keep her emotions in check. Their relationship has little chance.
- Aries man – Virgo woman
Virgo loves Aries’s verve, but she soon concludes that he is fickle and not serious. The Aries man, meanwhile, considers the Virgo woman a boring homebody.
- Aries – LIBRA
- Aries woman – Libra man
The Libra man loves conquests, and so does the Aries woman, who considers herself unrivalled in that field. This throws the Libra man off balance, and she does not see an interesting personality in him. This couple will find it hard to understand each other.

Peace and harmony are what the Libra woman dreams of, while the Aries man loves arguments and uncertainty. Libra reproaches Aries for his hot temper, his self-assurance and his infidelity.
- Aries – SCORPIO

- Aries man – Scorpio woman

- Aries – CAPRICORN
- Aries woman – Capricorn man
She accuses him of being too serious and too modest, which annoys her greatly. He, in turn, is irritated by how emotionally unrestrained the Aries woman is.
Their extreme characters hardly bode well for the relationship.
- Aries man – Capricorn woman
Aries does not like it when the Capricorn woman is too cautious and timid. He feels she lacks cheerfulness and a pinch of imagination. To the Capricorn woman, the Aries man is not a responsible person.
- Aries – SAGITTARIUS
- Aries woman – Sagittarius man
The Aries woman likes strong men, and the Sagittarius man certainly is one: he can stand up to her. She also values his generosity. Sagittarius adores the Aries woman, who is joyful and full of enthusiasm. They are made for each other.
- Aries man – Sagittarius woman
Both value freedom, and they admire each other because they think alike. They love life, are full of optimism and are ready to build a happy home together.
- Aries – AQUARIUS
- Aries woman – Aquarius man
The passionate Aries woman does not feel adored by Aquarius, so she often suffers. They are united by a love of freedom and an optimistic outlook. Their relationship can succeed if both are given plenty of freedom.
- Aries man – Aquarius woman
The Aries man loves the Aquarius woman’s sense of freedom. He takes her flirting badly, even though he is just like her in this respect. She values Aries for knowing how to surprise her pleasantly.
Aries and money
Aries loves money, and loves spending it even more. Aries’s extravagance knows no bounds: to satisfy a passing whim, it is ready to spend a fortune.
Aries tries to spend money as it comes in. It does not care about pension contributions or insurance. Walking into a shop, it buys whatever grabs it. Even when it has no money, it is prepared to take out a loan.
Aries like to wrestle with fate and travel the world in search of money. Money brings them joy. Instinct tells Aries where good money can be made; they have a good sense of the right time and place to earn. But they are also capable of spending it all in five minutes.
Aries rarely saves for a rainy day or puts money in a piggy bank, believing that money will always stick to it. Those Aries who have great fortunes have learned to curb their urge for unnecessary spending, which could otherwise ruin them.
Even so, some Aries will not fall into despair when their debts grow; instead, they will analyse the situation and fight to change it.
- Nothing ventured, nothing gained – that is Aries’s motto!
- Aries and family
Aries parents are very demanding. They make sure their children know what competition is. The children can be hot-headed too, given their parents’ fiery character. Children of an Aries parent can avoid unpleasant talks by showing themselves to be independent and enthusiastic. Parents will encourage a child when they see it wants to strive for something. The Aries parent will want their little one to taste victory.
Shy children will not live up to an Aries parent’s expectations. If the parent is not careful, their relationship with the child may cool over the years.
The Aries father wants his child to enjoy childhood and to be cheerful and creative. A son or daughter who looks to him for support with school or learning must prove that they have a strong will and can be an equal partner.
When the child demands freedom, the Aries father will give it.
The Aries mother wants to run the family and to bring up the children herself. She is not self-absorbed, and she expects the same attitude from her children. She does not panic when a child gets up to mischief or takes a tumble. She finds it hard to admit that she favours one of her children.
The Aries child
An Aries child is a very challenging little one who can quickly get on their parents’ nerves. They turn into fire and are afraid of nothing. They need plenty of space and activities so as not to irritate others.
At school they are popular, and usually everyone listens to them. The small child usually grows into a very affectionate and cheerful teenager. They need freedom, but it should be given very gradually, because at a young age they can do a lot of silly things. Excessive strictness, however, will break their personality and drain their energy later in life. It is best to channel their urge to test their own abilities into their development. They need the competition of rivals they can beat.
Parents should watch their child closely and make sure their potential is fully used.
- Aries in love
Aries falls in love at first sight and often becomes the victim of hopeless love. Conquest is Aries’s middle name.
For love to be exciting for Aries, it has to be out of reach, it must have a pinch of spice, and there must be obstacles on the road to winning it. Things must not come easily. For Aries, the battle of love is what makes it thrilling.
Aries has many assets: it is good-looking and engaging. It is not afraid to show feelings and excitement and is sincere about them. Love comes first. Aries often misjudges relationships because it idealises its feelings too much, and it suffers when the other person fails to live up to its hopes and expectations.
Aries’s love does not last for ever if it does not get what it wants from the other person. Remember that Aries cannot be caged, or it will run off at once.
Life with an Aries can be exciting and very interesting. You have to keep up with the constant whirl, not complain and take care of your appearance.
It is best to love and take an interest in what Aries likes. Aries is the leader, and resistance makes it angry. When these conditions are met, Aries will stay in the relationship – until the moment it falls for someone else. Aries struggles to spend its life with one person and usually has many relationships. Strong-willed Aries are monogamous, but for them it is more a matter of honour than of chemistry.
Aries are not unfaithful as such; they end one relationship in order to set up another home. Long-running affairs are not their style. Even so, Aries values marriage – though it may be a husband or wife several times over.
The Aries woman is truthful, loves freedom and independence and is full of optimism. She likes making conquests and is constantly looking for a kindred spirit. When she decides she has been beaten, she withdraws from the fight for a man. If her beloved turns out to be passive in the relationship, the Aries woman will quickly cast him out of her heart. She knows that passion does not come along every day.
The Aries man is a hot-headed, naive male whose only aim is conquest. He can be irritating, and some women may find him comical. To him, a woman is a fortress to be taken. He is utterly convinced that each new love is the greatest one, and so he often loses the chance to be truly happy.
- Aries sensuality
Aries sensuality is hard to describe. Aries is one of the most masculine signs of the zodiac. Aries feel intense passions, and sex plays an extremely important role for them. They are very demanding partners. Aries have a magnetism that draws them to anything passionate and stimulating to the senses. They usually have passionate partners who can quickly awaken their desire.
Every gesture, every way of moving and speaking reveals a strong sensuality – and this applies above all to Aries women.
Aries often has fleeting adventures with no future. With a single look, Aries undress their prey. They head straight for the goal: whisking the object of their interest off to a dark corner. Aries is in a hurry to satisfy the desires that have taken hold of it.
All this can backfire on Aries, however, because one day someone may do the same to it, using it and then leaving.
When Aries commits to someone it fought hard to win, it can change and stay constant in its feelings for many years.
The Aries woman
Her charm is as great as her desire to please and seduce. She is not afraid of rivals, because she knows her power. Aries women have hundreds of ideas for winning a man, and they can read the gestures and behaviour of the opposite sex. In the bedroom her partner has to show great imagination so that she does not get bored. Aries women have a lot to say about sex, though they could do with more sensitivity when it comes to showing tenderness.
The Aries man
Do not expect miracles from an Aries man. He loves sex, but few Aries experiment. Aries’s life is lived in a constant rush. Gripped by passion, Aries does not take winding paths but goes for the shortcut. Aries men are rarely known for their tenderness.
- Living with an Aries
If you want to keep an Aries by your side for long, give them a colourful life and faithfully keep pace with your restless partner. With an Aries you might go skydiving or set off on a spontaneous road trip in the middle of the night. You need to go out with them, meet friends and head to the cinema, a restaurant or a party.
Aries cannot stand monotony and routine, so when boredom sets in, it looks for new conquests. Some Aries throw themselves into hobbies, but some go looking for a new love interest.
If you want to keep an Aries, do not oppose them; rather, make them feel that they are still in charge. It is better not to argue with them but to keep them close through your actions.
If you want to make them jealous without taking risks, you need plenty of tact and skill. A jealous Aries reacts in different ways depending on the situation, from the extreme to barely noticeable changes in behaviour.
So it is better to get to know your Aries well before you try playing the jealousy card in your relationship.
When a break-up does happen, Aries tries to be gentle and wants to save the relationship, but after a short while it gives in. At that point Aries wants a quick and painless divorce. In the end, though, the break-up frees Aries to go looking for love again.
- Aries seduction horoscope
Aries needs a difficult, unattainable conquest to become interested. It loves competing with several rivals for someone’s heart. It could never savour a victory that came too easily.
The Aries man goes wild when a woman catches his eye and stays out of reach for a long time. He woos women with gifts, flowers, dinner invitations, rides in fast cars and the like.
The longer a woman holds out before romance, the better for her. After a while Aries will stop spoiling her, so it is worth making the most of the courtship period while the Aries man is trying hard.
Aries values the fight more than the victory. The first days of a relationship are more beautiful for Aries than those that follow.
The Aries woman is a little different, although she too loves fighting for the man she has chosen. She is fierce and relentless when it comes to winning a man. The Aries woman cannot bear the ordinary, has many love affairs and loves to dominate and be the centre of attention. She learns from her own mistakes, but if she could turn back time, she would act the same way in every situation. The Aries woman does not fall in love that quickly.
