All About Aries

Exploring the positive and negative characteristics of Aries 

Well, where to start with Aries? People born under the constellation of Aries—a.k.a. the Ram—are larger-than-life characters, heroic, competitive, and brutally honest. But a little egotistical and stubborn, too! Aries are authentic and optimistic in their abilities, confident and passionate. Nothing can stop this leader of the zodiac! They always figure out how to plow through their challenges. Acting impulsively, Aries decide what to do with their guts more than their heads. Aries are adventurous and adore being in the spotlight, but they can also be a little impatient when people around slow them down.

 

The Aries Personality

To understand Aries, it’s important to remember that they thrive when in command and get what they want from others. This can sometimes produce challenges since Aries will lie to get their way. Thankfully, lying isn’t one of Aries’ strengths—it requires trickery which they don’t usually have—so others will stop them before they get out of control. Aries can get angry when they don’t get what they want, but it’s this passion that makes them great pioneers and trailblazers. Aries are always hyped when starting new projects, but they also know when to hand off things to someone else. Above all, Aries yearn for independence and freedom in whatever they do.

 

Essential Characteristics of Aries

When it comes to activities, Aries will either be the best, or they’re not going to try at all. They like taking on active physical challenges and performing tasks others find impossible. They push themselves constantly and expect the same diligence from others. Always confident, Aries force their peers to step out of their comfort zone. Once a challenge gets boring, though, Aries will always hop off to find a more exciting battle.

 

 

Aries in Love

So, what is Aries like when they’re not out conquering the world? When it comes to showing love, they wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Instead, they need someone who can speak plainly and understand them directly to their core.
