Aries Personality Traits
Aries brings spring energy wherever it goes: quick, warm and impatient to get started. You tend to say what you think and forget an argument as fast as you started it. Life with an Aries is rarely dull, because there is always a new plan, a new challenge or a new reason to get out of the house.

Aries in Love
Aries tends to fall quickly and openly. When you like someone, they know about it, often within the first week. You enjoy a bit of chase and a partner with their own fire, someone who will argue back and then laugh about it. The thing that keeps an Aries in love is energy: shared plans, playful competition and the sense that the relationship is going somewhere.

Aries does best with a goal, a deadline and freedom to run at it. You are good at starting projects, handling a crisis and saying the thing everyone else is too careful to say. Sales, sport, emergency work, start-ups and anything with a scoreboard tend to suit you. Long meetings and slow approvals are your least favourite part of any job.
