General Traits
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is connected with new beginnings in general. You tend to be very active, and are always looking for something new to do. You have an optimistic and enterprising mind, and strive constantly to come up with new ideas and better ways of doing things. Because you are the "first-born" of the zodiac, you are usually aware of your needs and desires first, regardless of what is going on around you. You tend to be concerned with self, both positively and negatively, and you can be self-reliant, but also self-centered and sometimes overly concerned with your own self-satisfaction or personal advancement. In most situations, you prefer to be the leader and not the follower, as you would rather give advice than listen to advice from others. Your competitive nature makes it hard for you to admit defeat, and you will always work towards finding new and better ways of achieving a goal. Because of your impatient nature, you can sometimes act impulsively before thinking of what you really need to do, and the order in which you need to do it. You are full of enthusiasm and creative energy, and you need an outlet in which to express yourself on this level.

The down side of your personality however, is that you can be narrow-minded and dogmatic in your thinking, not giving others a chance to express themselves. You don't do well with the complexities of emotion or in delicate situations where subtlety may need to be exercised. You tell it like it is, and are untouched by the reaction that may result. As far as you're concerned, you've answered the question honestly. You tend to have a temper as well, and get easily frustrated when you are not making progress, or if someone is holding you back. You have a very strong need to prove yourself, and you may sometimes speed towards the conclusion without ever having asked the question.

On the whole however, if you want the job done right, you are the person to do it. You have an uncanny ability to motivate people, and keep an optimistic view on a situation. If you have spent time on spiritual matters, you likely have great willpower and self-confidence.

Relationships
In a relationship, you can be demanding and passionate. You enjoy initiating relationships, and the role of seducer comes naturally for you. You demand a partner who can challenge you on all levels, and keep you interested with new and inventive ways of satisfying your fervent needs. In your need to always get your own way however, you may put your needs before that of the relationship, and in this respect there may be conflicts, and possible separation. You need to learn this lesson in love, so that you can relate to your partner and reach out to them in consideration. You should look at the overall consequences of your actions, and figure out how they fit into the partnership. You love change and this could challenge your loyalty to one person, however, if you do find the right person you will flourish in love, and become a more sensuous and understanding soul.
