Who Aries is
Aries is a Fire sign in Cardinal mode, ruled by Mars. Its core keywords — initiating, courageous, impulsive, self-starting — sketch the basic stance Aries takes toward the world.
Aries in Love & Compatibility
In intimate relationships Aries tends to vibe most easily with other fire signs; air signs offer intellectual resonance, water signs offer emotional depth. Watch out for taking "self-starting" as the whole story of the person.
Aries at Work
Professionally, Aries naturally radiates "initiating" and "courageous"; roles and teams that reward those qualities feel like home. The blind spot to watch is "self-starting" slowing down longer-arc decisions.
Common Questions
Does my Sun sign mean I'm fully Aries? Not quite. Your Sun sign is one layer; your Ascendant, Moon, and the placement of the other planets across the twelve houses together describe the full picture.
