It’s Aries season! Time for the impatient, impulsive, competitive sign of the zodiac to take center stage. 
Oh, wait. Aries is always center stage. We are like children, really. I say that, because I am an Aries. 
Being mouthy, Aries detest authority, don’t like boundaries, and if held back, they will throat punch a Bitch! 

Sometimes Aries can be downright scary. They refuse, and are inherently resistant to growing up. 
Being the first sign of the zodiac, usually March 20-April 20, Aries is the Cardinal fire sign that is ruled by the warrior planet, Mars. 

If you have any planetary placements in the constellation of Aries, you will be influenced by the desire for action and self-assertion. 

Remember, the key phrase for this sign of the zodiac is “I am.”

I have mellowed with age, thankfully, but in my youth, the Aries that “I am” had me being a bit egotistical, impatient, impulsive, argumentative and foolhardy, but I was and still am A LOT of fun! 
Aries really are the sign that is up for anything. Late night skinny dipping, outdoor bonfires at 14 below zero, tying a rope behind a car and “skating” behind it in your tennis shoes. Awwww, the ‘70s. It’s always good to have a least one Aries in your posse. 

If you talk about the Aries male, you can just about guarantee that life with him is a constant “pissing” contest. IYKYK. Over confident, even with a man bun and a lemon yellow pullover, the Aries male struts like a peacock, taking great satisfaction in EVERYTHING they have done or will ever do. Robert Downey, Jr. comes to mind, and I like him. He really is Tony Stark. 

Aries can be ever prone to starting wars, like arguing politics with your Grandmother who is in a wheelchair and suffering with alzheimers. Why do they do this? Because they feel they should be able to do or say whatever they want, because no one can stop them.

Once an Aries fixates on an idea, I call it “going into mode” – it is virtually impossible to get them to consider alternative viewpoints. Nancy Pelosi, a fellow Aries, comes to mind. 

There is a video that I saw years ago that personifies this Aries condition. A little kid, around 5 years old, is shown screaming at his mother to have the onion she is trying to cut up. It’s a big sucker, too. She tried reasoning with him that he wouldn’t like it, and that she would give him something more edible, but he refused to listen. She eventually relented, everyone usually does with an Aries. She was pissed and hopeful that he would be taught a valuable lesson. The kid defiantly ate the whole damn onion, tears rolling down his cheeks, purple face sweating and bulging, BUT he never blinked, never wavered. When he finished, he smiled at her in smug satisfaction. Classic Aries! 

Relationships inevitably get strained with an Aries. Partnerships of any kind can be tested by the Aries’ inflexibility. This creates an atmosphere of rigidity that often leads to conflicts. The Aries can’t help but be extremely judgmental. Being so assertive and competitive, causes them to view life through a super critical lens. 

The Aries female  is always scrutinizing her competition. She will suck the energy out of a room, shut down her friends when out on the town, eating up the scenery in big bold fiery chunks. She needs to be the STAR.  

Kourtney Kardashian, much? Also, an Aries. 

This behavior can cause others to feel very inhibited in their ability to express themselves and usually they become mere shadows in the presence of the Aries, kind of like Bianca Censori in the presence of Ye (who actually isn’t an Aries, but a really foul Gemini). By the way, I married a great one.

The way to handle an angry Aries is to apologize sincerely and profusely. If you are at fault, make your apology genuine. Aries forgives rather easily, if you are not full of shit, and if you really mean it. If you even think for a minute of lying to them or conning them, pack your bags now, because you are DONE! They will crush you. 

Aries hate indecisiveness. Being wishy-washy will get you nowhere with them. They value freedom, get bored easily and heaven forbid you are clingy or LATE. They will dump your ass. I can’t stress this enough. 

This fiery sign of the zodiac, symbolized by the Ram, has a difficult time working for other people, as they can’t stand being dominated or controlled. Self-employed individuals are predominately Aries, believe it or not. They own their own businesses, or sell their own wares at craft shows. They are also incredible singers, artists and musicians. Taking center stage, of course. 

Guilty as charged.

If an Aries turns on you, they will actively avoid you, dismiss your opinions and only engage in minimal conversation, going as cold as you have ever seen. Making it very clear they dislike you, they are direct and to the point in all the reasons why. That comes right before you are banished to Azkaban.

In a stunning factoid, the Aries is actually full of optimism. The glass is always full kind of thing. Generous and kind and eager to help those in need, this Fire sign loves to see people happy.

Driven by their heart, and their stubborn head, they are passionate, motivated and a natural leader. 
 Being overly competitive will either end up being an asset or a detriment for this sign. Life teaches us what things are worth fighting for or against. Over time, the Aries learns self-discipline. This will result in better moderation of their thoughts and actions. 

Give the Aries a try, but wear asbestos clothing. A fire could break out!
