Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and being first tends to spill over in many ways. These guys are self-motivated, go-getters, their courage, and confidence allows them to stride into unexplored territory like the true pioneers that they are. 

They’re also extremely competitive so if they’re involved in any kind of game or sport, make no mistake, they’re playing to win. Coming second isn’t an option, if they put their mind to doing anything then they’re coming at it with passion, enthusiasm, and relentless determination. 

Mars is the planet of action but it’s also the planet of war, so tread carefully if you rub our fiery rams up the wrong way. They are known for their explosive tempers and their directness so they won’t mince their words when they’re telling you how much you’ve pissed them off. The good thing is that their temper often subsides just as quickly as it erupts.

The Aries all or nothing approach to life means that being in a relationship with one can be an intense experience. You’ll be adored, they’ll shower you with affection and unwavering loyalty, just make sure you reciprocate because Aries want to be your number one too. Don’t even contemplate directing your attention in another direction. 

That said, with their cheerful disposition, infectious enthusiasm and adventurous spirit, life with an Aries is seldom dull.
