Aries: The Cardinal Fire Sign of The Zodiac

Aries is the cardinal fire sign of the Zodiac. Generally, Aries are viewed as leaders. They are energetic, they accept challenges, help others to achieve their dreams, and defend the vulnerable. An Aries life is an open book. At the same time, one may find that Aries must be the boss, they dislike being told what to do, they don't listen, and can be very jealous. Aries is always interested in winning, no matter what the challenge. They usually think they are more interesting than others and better than those with whom they are in competition.

A typical Aries is usually tall and bold. They tend to have lean, strong bodies and may likely be athletic. Appearances are highly important to Aries, as they always want to look their very best. With many Aries, one could find that they have large bones, thick shoulders, and a long neck. Their face is usually long and their eyes can be somewhat piercing, not looking through you, but looking at you, as if to challenge. There may likely be a scar on the face or the body from a past fight, if so Aries will wear it with pride like a winner's trophy. Aries men are usually extremely energetic and have a dominating sex appeal. They are fiercely competitive, enterprising, honest, and use their wit and brains to get what they want. Similarly, an Aries woman may wear sophisticated colors and perfume and is very active, glowing with energy. Aries women look you in the eye and give a very firm handshake, they are fearless, they expect loyalty, and may talk back and get hurt because of it.

In a relationship, Aries is very romantic, will defend their loved one to the death, will insist on doing the chasing and can not bear to be chased by anyone, and can be extremely possesive of the lover, but can't understand if the lover is possesive. Aries will usually put their loved one on a pedestal. However, they do expect total faithfulness from their partner and for their lover to respond as if he or she is the first and best lover ever known. The partner of Aries must always keep a little mystery in reserve and must always believe in every new Aries dream. Aries can get bored very easily if there are no challenges left to face and can likely go out looking for another relationship as a challenge to him or herself. Any lover that hurts Aries very deeply will probably be totally frozen out and ignored.

Aries like food in bright colors, sparkling gems, books, red roses, new clothes, and a unique license plate on the car. They do not like being ignored, anyone who performs better than they do, second hand stuff, bland food, or feeling hungry. The opposite sign to Aries is Libra. Libra teaches Aries how to cooperate, share, and bring people together in harmony. Libra can intervene diplomatically where Aries will bound in and make demands forcibly.

Overall, Aries can be fun loving people, they just really love and challenge and they do not want to lose. As long as anyone can understand that Aries does not want to be placed second for anything, they can have a great relationship with them. As with all signs, Aries has ups and downs, but they are very helpful and caring people for the most part.
