The Fire Sign - Aries 21st March-20th April Aries THE RAM is the sign of the pioneer, someone who wants to go everywhere and do everything . As the first sign of the Zodiac Arians cannot help putting themselves first, though they are very affectionate and generous towards their loved ones . They have warm and enthusiastic natures and can be extremely demonstrative! Gregarious, sociable and extrovert, Arians are great people to have around as they are usually the life and soul of any party, thanks to their enthusiastic natures. Sometimes however the Arian face becomes really resentfully angry with worry and disapproval when he or she is crossed in love, or doesn't get his/her own way . The Positive Points The Aries personality is fiery and warm, passionate and self-expressive with an urge to act NOW! This is NOT a patient sign, everything is done on impulse, and with great urgency. Aries is a courageous leader, likely to take risks and will usually feel: "I know best". Aries rarely hangs around to check out the details. However give Aries a good cause for which to fight, a problem to solve, or something to pioneer, and this enterprising personality comes into its own. Forceful, pioneering, adventurous, enterprising, courageous, direct, energetic, freedom loving, self assertive. The Negative Points Strangely enough for this very active sign, one of its main failings is laziness . Aries is extremely impatient and intolerant of delay . Aries is likely to put off what must be done, (like bills and tax returns!). Aries will resort to lies rather than be inconvenienced by the uninteresting, or be forced to do that which they do not want to do . Arians can be blunt, ignorantly offensive, or employ bullying tactics to selfishly get their own way. Selfish, unsubtle, impulsive, rash, quick tempered, impatient, quarrelsome, aggressive. Your Profession As a fire sign, you will need to have an exciting job, and able to be a leader that enthuses and motivates people . You have the ability and motivation to translate thoughts into actions, and hence to initiate any project from the beginning, but not always the interest or energy to continue to see it through to the end and certainly you will never be the one to tie up loose ends . Illnesses Accidents, acne, brain disorders, burns, fainting, headaches, head injuries, stress, Anything to do with the head . Beneficial foods You are most compatible with:- And absolutely no chance with:- Rhubarb and Tomatoes. Scorpio - oh yes, very ardent. Sagittarius - wonderfully romantic. Libra - unstoppable. Aries - fiery, if you like it that way!. Aries - fiery. Leo - intense. Cancer - many differences. Pisces - difficult. Virgo - poles apart. Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac, and that is how those born under this Sign see themselves. Arians are the leaders of the pack, they are always first in line to get things going. Whether or not everything gets done is another question altogether, as Arians prefer to initiate than complete. Do you have a project in need of a kick-start? Call an Arian, by all means. The leadership displayed by Arians is most impressive, so don't be surprised if they can rally the troops against seemingly insurmountable odds. This is because they are extremely charismatic. Arians don't shy away from new ground, either. Those born under this Sign are often called the pioneers of the Zodiac, and it's their fearless trek into the unknown which often wins the day. Arians are a bundle of energy and dynamism and the Pied Pipers of their people. The dawning of a new day, and all its possibilities, is pure bliss to an Arians. It is the Ram that symbolises Aries, and that's both good and bad news. Impulsive Arians (and there are more than a few) might be tempted to ram their ideas down someone else's throat. This method can achieve important goals for everyone. But, it's those times when an Arian force-feeds an idea for no apparent reason, that we wish this Sign's symbol were a more subdued creature. Regardless, the sheer force of Aries can accomplish a great deal. Much of this drive to the finish line has to do with the Cardinal Quality assigned to Arians. Cardinal Signs love to get things going, and Arians exemplify this better than all the others Arians are ruled by the Planet Mars. Taking a peek at Roman mythology, we find that Mars was the God of War. Our man Mars was unafraid to do battle, and much the same can be said for Arians. These folks are bold, aggressive and courageous. They can summon up the inner strength required to take on almost anyone, and they'll probably win. Aries do not lack energy or vitality, and they can stay in the game longer than most anyone else. Now, that's a winning edge. Rams are also, for the most part, independent and well aware of their own interests in a given situation. This sometimes myopic view may not be for everyone, but it does help Arians get things going. Furthermore, their competitive natures ensure that they play the game with zeal and vigour. Though their approach may be construed at times as arrogant and domineering, it does take a lot of focus to be a leader (or so an Arian would say). Sadly, the Arian won't usually be around for the final victory (defeat? - never!). More than likely, these folks will have bolted to the next project before the first one is done. The Element associated with Aries is Fire. This results in constant action, enthusiasm and a burning desire to play the game. Arians love physicality, so they will not sit on the sidelines for long, if at all. They jump into the fray, full force, and will contribute a great deal in the process. Talk about eager! Even though some of their decisions may later prove to have been hasty, you will hardly ever find an Arian who regrets giving something a try. Making things happen is the most important thing for these people. Arians are also unafraid of stepping onto new terrain. The challenge inherent in taking on the unknown is heaven on Earth for Rams. They may appear arrogant when they take on the world, but they'll be quick to tell you it's the only way to go. There is no point in arguing with the common Arian refrain, 'me first', since, in their minds, they are first. Is this unbridled ego? Maybe, but that might be what it takes to blaze a new trail. Oh, and on the subject of arguing, it's the Ram who will have the last word, so save your breath. Arians play as hard as they work. These folks are happiest playing a spirited game of football or engaging in the martial arts. In the game of love, the Ram's ardour is unquestioned, although Arians can also be playful and romantic with their mate. With Aries ruling the mind, those born under this Sign need to be on the lookout for headaches, and are well-served by taking the occasional deep breath. The Ram's colour is bright red, a sure sign of the fire that breathes within. The great strength of the Aries-born is in their initiative, courage and determination. They love to get things going, and are fearless along the way. Their dynamism and competitive spirit add considerably to any projects they undertake.

Sagittarius - very rocky. Aquarius - too stubborn. Taurus, the second Sign of the Zodiac, is all about reward. Unlike Aries, who just loves the challenge of the game, Taureans love the rewards, the big payoff. Think physical pleasures and material goods, and a Taurean will spring to mind, for those born under this Sign revel in delicious excess. They are also a tactile lot, enjoying the tender (and sensual) touch. Taureans adore comfort and like being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things. And this applies to their palate, too - they favour a good meal and a fine wine. The good life in all its guises, the fine arts, or art of their own making, are heaven on Earth to the Taurean-born. The Taurean mascot is the Bull, along with which comes the expectation that these people are bull-headed and stubborn. Yes, they are. This is due to the Fixed Quality attached to their sign, so expect that things will occasionally grind to a halt. That said, Taureans don't start out with the intention of getting stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it is that steady, dogged persistence which winds up being viewed as stubbornness. Bulls are actually among the most practical and reliable members of the Zodiac, and they are happy to plod along, as it were, in pursuit of their goals. The good news for Bulls is that once they get to the finish line, they'll indulge in comfortable, luxurious material goods. A self-indulgent beast? Perhaps, but if you toiled as laboriously as these people do, you'd need some goodies, too. Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus, the Planet of love, beauty, art and indulgence. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was the Goddess of all those things, and Taureans appear to have taken up where she left off. Bulls are fond of all things pretty, whether it's in their home, at a museum or on the stage. To onlookers, this may look excessive, but Bulls really aren't interested in living without being surrounded by beauty. To the Bull beauty also comes in the form of a happy home life, one that includes a partner and a stable relationship. Taureans value harmony in their personal lives, so they'll work hard on keeping their lover happy. The Bull's penchant for sensual pleasures, of course, can only help things along. Bulls can also be the soppiest of sentimentalists. Will all this overweening attention to their mate turn a Bull into a possessive mess? Probably not, although these people do have to manage their tendency to latch on a bit tight. At the end of the day, however, the Taurean-born are true romantics and loyal to the core. The Element associated with Taurus is Earth. No pie-in-the-sky for these practical people, since they would much rather be on terra firma. Bulls tend toward conservatism, and this is often seen in their daily behaviour. No far-out schemes (that's Air) or shrieking ultimatums (like Fire) here. Taureans far prefer to take each day slowly and steadily work toward their ultimate goal. For that matter, those born under this Sign are happy to stick with their projects until they have reached a successful conclusion. They are also extremely patient, and dependable along the way. Does that sound earthy enough? The only kink in this well-oiled chain is the heckler in the gallery that tries to scold the Bull. The Torean may have a short temper. If provoked, a Bull can get argumentative, but they'll calm down eventually, and come back to centre, since these people would much rather be in Zen-like peace. The Earth in this Sign does tend to act as a balancing mechanism, so that things never get truly out of hand. For every one person who considers the Bull a pain, there are two who will say 'No way!' and happily take the Taurean's gentle charms whenever they can. As Bulls are generally strong and well-built, it's no surprise that these people enjoy testing their strength on the field of play. Expect to find a Bull engaged in a spirited game of football or mountain climbing. Hiking is also a favourite pastime, since it keeps Taureans close to their beloved earth. Indoor adventures are also favoured by Bulls, which is why the opera or ballet is right up a Taurean's alley. When it comes to love, the Taurus-born are devoted, romantic and somewhat possessive. Their sensual nature has a way of erasing any mistakes. Since Taurus rules the neck and throat, Bulls would be wise to keep a silky scarf at hand, ideally in a warm (and soothing) earth tone. The great strength of the Taurean-born is in their stability, loyalty and dogged determination. Bulls want to get the job done, and they will.
