What makes an Aries?
Anyone who is born March 21 to April 19 is an Aries. They are in the fire sign category of the zodiac so the color red paints a clear picture of their personality.
It comes as no surprise that the red planet Mars is their ruling planet. Aries are naturally drawn to this planet because of their fiery traits.
Among the zodiacal constellations, Aries lie in the northern sky between Pisces and Taurus at about 3 hours right ascension and 20° north declination.Â
The fire zodiac Aries is represented by the ram, a story that is often associated with the Golden Fleece in Greek mythology. Aries are generous and are known to be great leaders who are always willing to sacrifice themselves.
Back in the day, rams were frequently sacrificed to the gods so it is not that difficult to find ram in the constellation. They fill the night sky and they guide travelers who are lost and could not find their way back home.
Aries traits
Now that we have provided you with a brief background about Aries, let us start discussing what makes this fire sign so bold.
With a zodiac sign represented by a ram, it is no wonder why Aries are proud and are not scared to face their problems head-on. Their filled to the brim personality is what makes them a confident leader.
Aries are filled with desire and ambition to not only stand out but to also lead a great example and be excellent at everything they do.
Their strong stance and decisiveness as a leader make them the perfect representation of the dynamic red planet Mars.
Strengths
As with any fire element, their tenacity, passion, and boldness are their key strengths. Aries always wants to venture out of their comfort zones. They are willing to explore and jump to new grounds even if it means taking big risks.
As with any great leader, Aries are naturally determined, creative, and honest. They are fueled by hope and filled with optimism.
With their strong personality, they are courageous enough to take the leap and make big decisions for their team.
They are not the ones who back down when the going gets tough. In fact, you can always count on them to take responsibility and face the consequences of their actions.
Almost every Aries wants to be an exemplary leader that would lead their team to success. For them, success means motivating their team to be better.
Despite their strong personality, Aries highly values criticism and having a conducive learning environment with their team.
So tapping on those leadership traits and doing different activities at an early age would surely pay off in the long-run.
Weakness
Without any hesitation, this fire sign does not dwell on the past and would just ram any obstacle on their way, which are often also the cause of their downfall.
Since Aries are always determined to succeed, they sometimes lose themselves along the way.
With an end goal in sight, Aries are always willing to take the difficult road just to win. Because of this, they sometimes fail to consider what their teammates would feel.
As a result, they just end up being hurt and taking the long winding road along with their teammates.
Feeling pressure as a leader and bearing a sense of responsibility for their team, Aries also internalized the stress they feel.
In the end, all their problems pile up and they just end up blaming themselves.
Aries have a hard time distinguishing external and self-inflicted wounds because they simply brush off their problems and internalize them.
Without knowing it, risks become a too-familiar feeling and stability becomes a foreign concept.
Relationships
Aries traits are known to be adventurous and a go-getter. They can easily win you over because of their determined and steadfast attitude.
Their fellow fire signs, Leo and Sagittarius, are fond of them while opposite signs like Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces keep them grounded and balanced.Â
Since Aries know that they have a bold personality, they often improve their relationships with others through self-awareness.
They are willing to carry the burden, change their actions, and give more time to others just to have a successful, happy, lasting relationship.
When they are not the leader or dominating figure in a group or relationship, they are pleasant and easy to work with.
They always bring new ideas to the table and they are always happy to let others explore and experience new things with them.
That being said, their partners feel sentimental around them. Aries are often associated with fun and memorable experiences.
So it is no wonder why Aries have a lasting relationship with many people.
Likes
Being in a relationship with an Aries is like clearing puzzles every day.
Since one of the most dominant Aries traits is determination, they like to be challenged constantly. Solving puzzles or giving riddles takes them to cloud nine.
