Fire · Movable (Chara) · Ruled by Mars (Mangal) · Apr 14 – May 14 (sidereal)
Aries (Mesha) is the first sign of the zodiac, ruled by fiery Mars. Natives are bold, pioneering and fiercely independent — natural initiators who would rather lead a charge than wait for permission. There is a youthful, competitive energy to Aries that thrives on challenge, action and being first. Honest to a fault and quick to act, they bring courage and momentum wherever they go.
In love Aries is passionate, ardent and protective. They pursue with conviction and crave a partner who can match their energy and independence. They dislike clinginess and game-playing; sincerity and a little healthy challenge keep them devoted. Learning patience and compromise is their key relationship lesson.
Aries excels wherever courage, initiative and quick decisions are rewarded — entrepreneurship, the armed forces and police, sports, surgery, engineering, sales and any pioneering or leadership role. They are happiest as the originator, not the follower.
