The Zodiac Sign of a Sun in Aries

Aries is the sign famous for its fiery willful nature. This strong will is the propulsion that takes Aries out vigorously into life. 

The Ram is the first sign and has that attitude of being Number One. 

Those with the Sun in Aries are gifted with a direct, fiery nature that makes them one step ahead of the crowd. They take charge of a situation, and their sense of certainty usually makes others fall in line. This makes the Sun in Aries a born leader.

Big Personality

Often larger-than-life, they can light up a room with their charisma. If a gathering is dull, they’ll quickly move on – and they’re among the ones with the stamina to party ‘til dawn. The Sun in Aries craves excitement and their restless spirits seek out the next big thing.

Aries is the sign of the warrior, and the Aries Sun can rise to the challenge of any battle. The alpha male Aries rush to the aid of damsels in distress. Female Aries are often at home in the company of men, in competitive activities or one-up-manship playfulness.  

Sometimes Aries people go too far and scorch those they love with hurtful words said in the heat of the moment. They quickly forgive and forget, but often deal with the fall out of their brusque demeanor. 

Aries dark side is to be selfish, a bully, a smart alec or physically threatening.

Big Ambitions

Most of all, the Aries wants to achieve great things and is fueled by an inner drive that is a force to be reckoned with. Their bright minds and ability to initiate can make them trailblazers in their careers. Aries is cardinal fire — action is his middle name.

At times, the rush to action can cause Aries to take unnecessary risks, or forge ahead without planning out crucial details. Some say the Sun in Aries learns the hard way, by leaping before looking. But being an active sign, the Aries learns through best through experience.

Directed Energy

The Sun in Aries has a mind that filters out the non-essentials and this clear sight helps them make speedy progress in life.

Once fixed on a goal, they’ll blast forward with a power that leaves others in the dust. They're not as good at tying up loose ends and have been accused of ramming into situations without a lot of subtlety. Very often they speak with outside voices and are aggressive about what they want. 

More sensitive souls can become traction under their boots or spiked heels. Some might consider them teachers — they teach about will, self-defense, and direct confrontation. 

Their style for some is too blunt, even brutal. It all depends on the maturity of the Ram in question. But if you’re a match for such an amped up spirit, you’ll never forget being pulled along by the power of this dynamic life force.

What's Sexy About Aries?

In a world of conformity, Aries is an original. You never know what's going to happen next.

The strong physicality of Aries makes it a sign of vitality, and the Ram has an animated presence that's energizing to be around.
