Characteristics and Traits of the Aries Zodiac Sign in Astrology

The sign of Aries is masculine and dynamic. In relationships and love, an Aries female or male tends to operate from a primeval instinct. This man or woman has a very high sex drive and is quite passionate. The essential Mars energy is creative and fertile, in keeping with the ancient views toward the god of war. Venus would often mingle with Mars!
Aries can be quite quick-tempered and headstrong though. They are often impatient, but have a responsible personality and genuinely caring traits. They are simply driven to action and creation in the material world. Of course, they do this from the front and are not very good followers, particularly when they do not feel authority is valid.
On the shadow side, Aries can trod on the feelings of others easily and may be promiscuous. They can be selfish and egotistical. Spiritually, Aries seeks to initiate and create in the material world. They can be quite intellectual, though often over-optimistic. Aries does best when moderation and planning are embraced. Aries men and women are blessed with many gifts which can lead to very impressive achievements, so long as they don't get in their own way by being foolhardy and creating unnecessary difficulties!
