                The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
                Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
                Is my destroyer.
                And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
                My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.

You are a pioneer, a true hearty, courageous soul with headstrong tendencies to get your way, whether it be a career or the princess of your dreams. Watch out. Your sheer determination to overcome all obstacles frequently leads to rushing in over your head. Although you think with your head, not your heart, rarely do you learn anything the easy way. And if your need to achieve something is thwarted, you could become physically sick.

At your best, you are extremely passionate, assertive, forthright, bold. At your worst, you are selfish, quick-tempered, foolhardy and arrogant. Your spirit leads you, and often you are not patient. But you love freedom, and you are a natural leader. Because you are at the beginning of the zodiac, you seem to shout, "Look at me! I exist!" People tend to follow you, or they butt heads with your stubbornness. You make a natural executive, and are good at starting projects. You enjoy giving orders and are great at delegating. You are also gifted at selling, and have lots of ideas you want to put into effect. Dynamic is the word to describe you. You aren't necessarily interested in having power over others, but you pour energy into whatever you do. However, your derring-do could prove hollow if you are feeling inadequate on the subconscious level. You must strive to balance your bravado with reflection and self-knowledge.

Your natural energy makes you adept at any kind of sports. You go at lightning speed and tire everyone out. You spill your spirit onto others; you need to learn the lesson of conserving, and focusing your attention, before expressing it. If you suppress your energy, headaches are common. You are a survivor, and many Aries have pioneered new frontiers, including space. Luckily, your great ambition and drive gives you that extra push to start any venture; sometimes, unfortunately, a bad temper or argument could cause you to lose your way. Luckily, your anger never lasts for long.

Though Aries men are typically bold, brash, and impatient--to the point of recklessness--Aries women need a relationship of equality. No chauvinism allowed. She's apt to have a wonderful career, set her own goals--and achieve them. She can compete with any man, and is passionate about her lover. But don't anger her--she'll turn her back to you.

A typical man, Aries wants to prove himself, and may take unnecessary chances or risks. Life is never boring for this whim-seeker, whose motto seems to be: carpe diem. Once smitten, an Aries man may cross the deepest ocean for his sweetheart, fight the fiercest dragon, or stalk her on the Internet. Either way, he is chasing after his dream. He will pursue his beloved relentlessly, and treat her like a princess when she acquiesces.

A fire sign, Aries explodes into being and is often attracted to other fire signs, such as Sagittarius or Leo. A more harmonious relationship could result with an air sign, such as Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. Sometimes an earth sign helps ground all that Aries energy. Still, romance is all passion and fire--often rash and impulsive. It is not uncommon for an Arian to get restless and have many love partners; however, the challenge to the lover of an Aries is to pursue active change within a relationship--as active as the Ram will take you--and beyond. Also, an Aries works better without strict rules; simple guidelines will do. You may want to do some extra planning for your partner's future, as Aries are typically not good with money, spending whatever they get instead of saving it up for a rainy day.

The true Aries represents the power of the individual. The challenge in wooing this dynamo is to cultivate persistence naturally, over time, so the true hero inside can show its endurance. Take time, don't let the Aries way boss you around or deter you. They meet, initiate, spark, enthuse, confront, and stir things up. That doesn't mean they don't want you around! They like creating, and recreating, in a very direct and certainly not boring way. Aries is the eternal adolescent, always searching for an identity, and finding it in new experiences. At a party, you can always tell the Aries as he or she butts her way into anything that looks exciting, or breaks the rules nonchalantly. She could do the Nike commercial with gusto: Just do it!

Aries is born in the spring time, and with that comes new life, energy, heat, and vitality for flowers and vegetation. The Arian spirit works well with sunlight, water and earth. He is Dylan Thomas' "force that through the green fuse drives the flower." He is something to be reckoned with, and always someone to have on your side.
