Strengths and challenges
Aries brings courage, initiative and a talent for getting things moving. The common challenges are impatience and a habit of charging ahead before checking the map.
In love
Aries loves with energy and honesty. You want a partner who keeps up with you and says what they mean, and you lose interest when things get too slow or too coy.
At work
You do best in roles with ownership and momentum: starting projects, leading a push, sales, emergency work, sport, entrepreneurship. Long approval chains wear you down.
With money
You earn well when you are in charge of the outcome, but impulse spending can follow a good week. A waiting period before big purchases is your best financial habit.
As a friend
Loyal, funny and competitive in a friendly way. You are the one who says let's go.
Wellbeing
Your body likes hard, short bursts of exercise. Watch for tension in the head, jaw and shoulders when you are frustrated.
