Mars Signs 

While Venus Love Signs are in charge of romance, Mars Signs take charge of basic sexual attraction, tempered only by the astrological houses they are placed in. They will influence how sex is approached, from cool detachment to hot intensity and everything in between. Mars makes us assertive, forthright and adventurous. It can also make us impulsive, rash, impatient and forceful. Success or frustration? they can both be products of your Mars Signs influence.

Mars is energy, action and desire; the animal instinct. Unlike the Sun, which is the embodiment of creative energy, Mars is raw energy. Its divisive, scattering energy in an outward direction. It represents how a person goes after their goals, their drive and energy, their initiative, courage, and combativeness. It's aggressive and aids our survival. Angry? That is Mars coming through.

 

Mars takes risks, even if they may cause divisions or feuds. Courage belongs to Mars, and Mars revels in lively competition. Associated with masculine energies, Mars is the life force, the chi. It fights to survive and rises to meet any challenges along the way.

On the negative side your Mars Sign can spell trouble. It can show areas where you may be argumentative, pick fights, and even get violent. When positive, your Mars Sign energizes the passions so you can meet your goals. This planet gives momentum and flow. Given a good outlet, Mars can accomplish anything. When stifled, Mars will boil under the surface until it finally breaks free as anger, temper tantrums or constant irritability.


Mars is often described as passionate, determined, motivated, impulsive, angry, intense and ambitious. These attributes can come in every range of the spectrum, from mild to extremely intense. This is what fuels Mars to succeed, to put themselves first, and to achieve their goals. Mars drives a person to do almost everything, from getting up in the morning to getting that promotion to the person lost in the snowy mountains who finds the fortitude to find a way to civilization. Often attached to the ego, Mars is fairly straightforward and simple. It wants what it wants, and goes out to get it, end of story.

The Aries Experience
 

RELATIONSHIP

The demanding and passionate Ram needs an equally self-possessed lover to stimulate them and set them on fire. If not, what's the point? Arians can be fiercely loyal yet self-centered at the same time, so their partner needs to exhibit confidence and a sense of when to give them the space they need.

The occasional bouts of temper exhibited by Aries are best dealt with if they are used as a prelude to a deeper understanding and the sizzle that comes with kissing and making up.

Aries will stick with a relationship as long as it's hot (and fireworks are key to this fire sign), but if things start to cool down, it won't be long before they hit the road.
The ideal Aries soulmate may be someone who is never, ever dull.

 

ROMANCE

Arians loves the hunt, and will do whatever it takes to get the prize they want.
The question in their mind will often be whether it's a prize worth keeping.
Aries will take risks during the chase, but would love the object of their affections to do the same.

That give and take can keep things more than interesting and going for quite some time.
A mental attraction for impassioned Aries is often the first step and the indicator as to whether things will progress.

If things work their way down -- watch out! Once hooked, Arians loves strokes and tender caresses, and a lover who will tell them that they are the best.

 

LOVE

Aries is a moving target where love is concerned, always looking, seeking and often finding. It can be very hard to resist the Ram's magnetic charms. The aura surrounding those born under this sign is one of intensity and intrigue, so many will be tempted to step up to the plate. This is exactly what Aries wants: many opportunities to play the game of love. Some things will work and some won't, but the game is surely fun!

The beauty of it all is that Aries flourishes in love, becoming a more sensuous, understanding and feeling soul.
As long as Aries remembers how to share and the beauty of an "us," things can go far.

 

WHAT ARIES NEED

Aries doesn't generally need hearts and flowers to give them a warm and fuzzy glow.
What's far more important to members of this sign is to find a partner who is equally strong and self-possessed and who will challenge them to greater heights, both mental and physical.
That person who can draw them out and make them better is a keeper.
It also helps if Aries' partner can handle the occasional fiery argument and can master the art of making up.

The Aries lover is passionate, adventurous and energetic, loves romance and revels in the art of the chase.
Those who can stand the heat will be rewarded with a loyal companion who will take them to greater heights.
Life with Aries is never boring, so get ready for the ride of a lifetime!

 
 

PROFILE

The Sun in Aries denotes activity in every department of life. You possess strong convictions coupled with great physical courage. You have a stormy and driven nature, and make decisions with boldness and audacity. Leadership roles come easily to you.

You may find your mental activity makes you prone to passionate convictions, but you also have the capacity to transmit your ideas to others as your enthusiasm is infectious. You consider it your duty to have your ideas widely accepted and have the charisma to achieve this.

Audacity is the keynote of your personality. You are very ambitious and enterprising. The inevitable outcome of these qualities is a tendency to recklessness and extravagance of ideas and actions. You do not suffer fools gladly and find people who dither hard to cope with. Your forceful convictions can make it difficult for you to listen to temperate advice coming from others, yet checking your facts could save you from the fanaticism and rashness to which the Aries type is liable.

You tend to give free expression to your impatience with those slower than yourself and to become irritable on slight provocation. For this reason you should always attempt to come to terms with other people's convictions rather than dismissing them just because they do not correspond with your own. You tend to run hot, which can lead to burn-out!

Those with the Sun in Aries can learn a lot from the personality traits of their opposite Zodiac sign of Libra. The measured quality of the Libran ability to strive for balance in decision-making and action complements the Aries, who wants to run before learning to walk.

 Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is ruled by the planet Mars and symbolized by the ram. Recently on a popular animal show, I observed the sparring techniques of the ram. The males lower their heads so that their horns extend forward; they take a firm stance and charge headlong into their adversary. The sound of their horns butting against each other is enough to make most humans cringe. Undaunted by their blows, however, they repeat this ritual over and over again for hours. I had to remark on the wisdom of the ancient astronomers to have matched so perfectly the sign of Aries with its zodiacal mascot, the ram.

When you first meet an Aries, you are impressed with the aura of physical power which seems to surround him. From his cheerful, yet honest glance, his confident handshake, and the firm stance of his feet on the ground, you get the feeling he knows exactly who he is and where he's going. But don't say something to get on his bad side. The ram can get pretty unruly when he lowers his horns, and I don't mean figuratively. Of all zodiacal natives, the Arien can most easily haul off and punch you right in the nose. Of course he'll apologize saying he didn't know what got into him, but only after he's had time to think about it. Doing first and thinking later, under most circumstances, is actually one of his strong points.

The resemblance to his mascot-counterpart does not end there. Physically, the Arien imposes a powerful looking frame with a well developed musculature. Even the women by their general demeanor will convey the attitude of being 'ready for action.' The face is almost always reddish or ruddy complected with decidedly sharp features. They will usually have very steady eyes. Try out-staring an Arien, and you'll soon know what I mean. The brows will generally be close-knit, seeming to join with the bridge of the nose to form a "T." The end of the nose which can be bulbous or button-shaped, appears somehow to stand out from or not go along with the rest of the face. The forehead is almost always prominent, further suggesting the ram's horns. Some Ariens may even bend forward slightly when they walk, leading themselves by the horns, so to speak, as if in search of another sparring partner.

From all of this you may infer Ariens to be a mean looking lot. Actually the opposite is true. Most of them are quite good looking, especially in the face, which is their strong point. In many female Ariens, the definitive jaw line and accentuated cheekbones suggests the classical facial lines of a model. The forward or aggressive appearance of many Mars-ruled is actually a design by Nature to hide their inner gentleness. Ariens, you see, are actually the babies of the zodiac. Just think of an infant in a bassinet, and you will have the perfect picture of the typical April-born. When baby's hungry, he'll scream his lungs out just to get your attention, his ams and legs flailing frantically in jerky movements; but when the crisis is over, he'll be as cute and cuddly as ever, making you wonder what all the fuss was about. Just watch your Arien friend the next time he's hungry. Nothing else will seem to matter but that he find a restaurant and eat, and you must be hungry too, right? After his needs are taken care of, everything is quite back to normal. It didn't seem to matter that the food wasn't to your liking or that you hadn't had enough. These facts seem to have never entered his consciousness. This is not to say Ariens are immature or inconsiderate. It's just that their wants or desires usually come first, and they sometimes have a hard time seeing beyond them to others' needs. If they do seem inconsiderate at times, you'll just have to chalk it up to the Arien way of doing things, and that's not so bad. After all, where else could you find such wide-eyed innocence and childlike good humor in the wake of such diplomatic faux pas.

Like the proverbial 'babe in the woods, ' there is something about Mars-ruled that always retains the qualities of innocence, naivete, and childish enthusiasm. The fellow who came up with the phrase "bright eyed and bushy tailed" must certainly have been talking about an Arien. Their approach to life is always optimistic but sometimes simplistic, seeing things in terms of black and white and remaining quite oblivious to so many shades of grey. This can sometimes make the ram narrow-minded or dogmatic in his thinking, but what he can accomplish without a lot of distracting nuances and complexities to slow him down is staggering. The Mars-ruled is action oriented, and nobody is better than he at getting the job done. Consider how many Ariens you know who are job foreman, managers, or who own their own businesses. Their ability at giving orders and relegating responsibility to subordinates in the job situation is uncanny. Don't put them in a position, however, where they'll have to deal with complex emotions or with a problem requiring delicate handling or subtlety. They're simply not equipped for it. They'll balk at the prospect of any such undertaking, being stultified with the complexities of the task.

There's nothing complex about these April-born. As with children, what you see is what you get. Their straightforwardness can be endearing, though it often gets them into trouble. They'll think nothing of telling you the dress you just bought is awful, even though you spent all afternoon picking it out. you should have bought one like the one they're wearing, and isn't it wonderful? Let's face it, tact and diplomacy are not high on the list of importance to Mars-ruled, and a few emotional bumps and bruises may well be in store for even their closest friends. What seems like rudeness is quite literally an obliviousness to your feelings; it's certainly not intentional. Just try and accuse them of being inconsiderate, and they'll stare at you in genuine wide-eyed innocence, wondering what it was they said wrong.

If your friend is an Arien, you can have consolation in knowing that, despite any shortcomings, he'll never play mind games. The Arien native, as the child in him would imply, is not the least bit calculating. He'll simply tell it like it is before he's had a chance to think about the consequences. You'll never catch him buttering up to the boss for a promotion, or plying you with fancy dinners to win a favor. Those ideas never really enter his mind. After all, why wouldn't you want to do him a favor just by his asking? He's got it coming to him, doesn't he? and whose life is more important anyway? As for buttering up the boss, Ariens may be too self-sufficient and proud to acknowledge they have a boss. Indeed, they may even take work matters into their own hands without the boss's knowledge. These Mars-ruled do not work well under authority unless they, too, have subordinates to whom to give orders. They resent being ordered around because they feel their ideas are the best anyway, and who should question them? In this respect, they are probably right. As I mentioned before, the Arien's knack for knowing how to get the job done is unsurpassed. Nevertheless, their disregard for authority can sometimes get them into trouble and can even cost them their job. Ask any Mars-ruled how many times he's been fired, and he'll probably tell you more than once.

The childlike enthusiasm of April-born is infectious, and their ability to rouse others to interest in a project or undertaking is unparalleled. As soon as the undertaking has gotten off the ground and is well on its way, however, their own interest wanes. Ariens soon become bored once the novelty of a project has worn thin. It's not that they are lazy; no sign is more energetic. It's just that Mars-ruled are initiators, not perpetuators, and need the constant challenge of newness to keep themselves from getting bored. Progress is important to them. There is a drive in them to be constantly moving forward, and they can become downright ornery if they feel their progress is in any way impeded. To have to retrace their steps or go back to a former lifestyle or circumstance is unthinkable to most Ariens. They'd just as soon take their chances on unbroken ground.

There's nothing an Arien likes better than to have his ego bolstered. He seeks praise not necessarily for what he has accomplished but simply for who and what he is. When the ram feels he's not getting his share of admiration from those around him, he'll often exaggerate the truth in his own favor to evoke more favorable comments. Ariens won't usually lie. That is quite beyond their straightforward nature, but a little embellishment here and there never hurt anyone. When your Arien friend tells you about the new apartment he just moved into, for example, he'll describe it in terms of crystal chandeliers, hand-tooled woodwork, and spacious windows. When you actually see it, however, it may appear somewhat less than you had imagined. The Arien trait of bending the truth in part represents their need to mark the stamp of their individuality on everything they do. The ram is not content to let even the facts remain unaltered by his Arien originality, and if in the process he can direct a little more attention to himself, so much the better.

The Arien need for originality is put to good use in occupations where a personal touch is required. Interior decorating, custom catering, hair design, cinematography, photography, architectural design, etc. are replete with Mars-ruled whose flair and originality add a breath of freshness to their respective fields. Leave it to an Arien to keep your company, project or undertaking fresh and in keeping with the times. In business their progressive originality is always seeking new outlets, and work is never dull in their arena. Next time you're at work, or anywhere for that matter, notice the individual with more than the average ambition, a cheerful brand of optimism, and fiery energy and originality. Chances are he or she will be an Aries.
