Aries March 20th - April 18th
Element: Fire... Aries is a fire sign... associated with heated emotions, enthusiasm and intuition.
Mode: Aries is a cardinal sign, showing the element at its most concentrated initiating, thrusting, energetic form.
Planetary ruler... Mars, in mythology, the god of war.
The first sign of the zodiac, Aries likes to be first in everything. Competitive and driven, you like to achieve for your own sake more than for public recognition. Whatever it is you like to be the best and you will work tirelessly to make sure you reach your goal.
Self-confident, even egotistical at times, you can be chameAriesn-like, changing as the situation demands.
You are the ultimate warrior, often on other people's behalf. You are happy to help, but you like to know that once given a hand up those you help will have the strength of character to help themselves. Patience is not one of your virtues.
You like action and you possess the confidence to be a pioneer.
As a lover the Ram is the symbol for your sign... You love sex and are not afraid of initiating the action, but you have a great need to be loved, which is where your vulnerability lies. Marilyn Monroe was Aries too, and there may well be an element of the 'little girl lost' about you when it comes to love.
That need for love doesn't always translate into wanting to be the other half of a partnership. Aries is a courageous, but somewhat self-centred sign, but when you find your match you will be happy to commit and remain faithful.
