| Aries is the first of the twelve Western zodiacal
signs. And although it comes first, it is often thought of as
tile baby of the family. Aries respond to stimuli in an
impulsive and headstrong manner. The complexities of cunning,
deceit and duplicity don't appeal to Aries. The Aries person
likes to operate out of righteousness (self- and the other
kind), wherein he feels safe. The danger is that he can also
feel a mite too complacent.
Don't fret, Aries, you are far from dumb. But you are
sometimes blindly naive. Because you have no ulterior motives of
your own and like to be "up front" about your personal
wants and needs, other people's machinations baffle you.
Take my advice. Put your forthrightness in your back pocket
and sit on it once in a while. Sometimes life is just plain not
fair. Be on your guard. Check out subtleties while they're
happening. Head disappointment off at the pass. Don't wait until
the bad movie is over and the plot has thickened to a clot.
Talent is awarded all Aries at birth. If developed at an
early age, Aries' talents in artistic fields may lead them to
solid careers in music, graphic arts or artisanry. The Aries
youngster may spend hours practicing alone in a room just to
perfect a single musical phrase. This kid is not worried about
peer pressure or popularity. Everybody likes Aries children
anyway. They inspire confidence and are pleasant to be around.
The child practicing his Mozart is probably president of his
class as well as concert master of the school orchestra and head
of the scenery committee for the senior play. Busy, busy, busy.
Aries never stops. "Achieve and go on to achieve
again" is Aries' unshakable motto.
As a result of Aries' sound sense of self, he prefers not to
be told what to do. Aries is a natural leader and often the most
creative thinker in a given group. Originality is his byword.
Show Aries chaos and he will jump right in and begin putting
things in order. Aries is not afraid to delegate authority and
makes a fair and just effort in the exercise of power. Aries are
not easily swayed by others. Although they are naive, they are
also both stubborn and egocentric.
Aries people are blurters. Again, their childlike earnestness
prompts them. Aries is the dinner guest who points out the hair
in the soup before it leaves the kitchen. Aries mean no harm.
They can usually be trained by about age fifty to turn their
tongues around twice before babbling untoward truths.
So Aries has the character of a feisty youngster. He seeks
recognition in positive and assertive ways. He does not shrink
in the face of conflict. Nor does Aries take a back seat
gracefully. If Aries were offered a part in a film about
cowboys, he would invariably want to play the U.S. marshal in
the white Stetson on the white horse. Aries is an incurable good
guy.
