The sign for Aries is the noble Ram, it is a fire sign, and is the first sign of the Zodiac
Aries are born fighters and quick to alert you, ruled by the planet of war and destruction, Mars. They have strong will power and seem to naturally resent all criticism. They are inclined to lack caution, being by nature impulsive and quick in thought and action. The presence of an Aries almost always indicates the beginning of something exciting and energetic. Nothing can hold this sign back; they're keen, dynamic and competitive.
Aries will not keep you for longer than needed. There is no "beating around the bush" and more than often their bluntness is enough to leave you feeling stifled, but they mean no harm. Aries just has a knack for seeing things how they truly are, without the sugar coated glossing. So if you want an honest opinion, Aries is your best bet! They are also natural leaders and great fun to be around. They make great companions are always interested in other peoples' ideas. However they can be childish and are known to suffer with the occasional temper tantrum, but because Aries has such a zest for life, they bounce back quickly and it is very rare to find them holding grudges.
Aries rules the first house of the Zodiac which is about the self. Their motto : "I am".
Things to look out for: In relationships, Aries finds it hard to commit as they become bored quickly so a challenge is always good for them. In most cases, Aries will experience relationships like fireworks - lots of spark and excitement that tends to fizzle out all too quickly. However, after going through a varied cycle they do eventually settle down but it is important for Aries to live through the short, sharp shocks before they do!
Aries colours are red and white, these are believed to be lucky for the Aries sign, black being thought to be unlucky.
The birthstone for Aries is Diamond. For thousands of year this has been believed to conduct the energies of Mars, the ruling planet of the Aries. It has also been claimed that wearing Diamond helps with many things including brain diseases, protection for the kidneys, the reproductive system and drawing toxins from the body!
Vulnerable parts of the body are the head and face; as a sign of this celestial association, many Aries are born with a birth mark on their head or face. Headaches, black eyes, nose bleeds and insect bites are all common Aries health complaints.
Aries are considered to be most compatible with other fire signs: Leo and Sagittarius and compatible, but to a lesser extent, the air signs: Aquarius, Gemini and Libra.
