Sun Signs and Love: Attracting an Aries

If you're hoping to attract an Aries romantically, be prepared to seize the opportunity. The fiery Aries doesn't appreciate timidity. If you're attracted to an Aries, let him or her know immediately. Don't worry about appearing too forward. For an Aries, a compliment is always well received and even expected. But since this sign is famous for its ability to spot insincerity, make sure you're honest about your attraction. Laying it on too thick is one of the fastest ways to lose an Aries.

As fiery and physical as Aries usually is, they need more than physical attraction to enter into a relationship. They enjoy lively discussions and debates, so a dinner and a movie may not necessarily be the best first date. Consider something involving the theater, music, art,, history, culture, or even a sporting event if your Aries is interested in sports. If you don't know much about the subject matter, let knowledgeable Aries explain it to you. An Aries has the ability to make these explanations fun an exciting.

If you're going to date an Aries, rest up. They don't really watch the clock and continue the fun until the fun wears off. This can make for some late nights. Aries also tends to gain more energy as the evening wears on. The term 'second wind' definitely applies. In fact, expect Aries to have a 'third wind' and maybe even a 'fourth wind'. And they'll expect any romantic partner to keep up.

Aries is a problem solver in the take-the-bull-by-the-horns kind of way. This means that they welcome the opportunity to offer advice. And unlike some of the more flighty signs (Aquarius comes immediately to mind), the advice from an Aries is usually quite practical. They're also incredibly generous with their time, advice, and even money, so a typical Aries can not only offer a solution but help execute it. This can come in handy, so don't be afraid to go to Aries for help even if you're at the very beginning of your relationship.

A relationship with Aries can be fun, exciting, and entertaining, but there's also a welcome practical side to the relationship. Just don't try to dictate to a true Aries. They'd don't appreciate it. In fact, Aries even has trouble following orders they want to follow. If you're willing to let powerful Aries take the lead, a romantic relationship with this sun sign can work in your favor.

Sun Signs and Love: The Aries Man

The Aries man is full of fiery emotions. In fact, he has few other kinds of emotions; every one of them blazes bright and hot. He has an adventurous nature and is always on the lookout for excitement. And it finds him. Or he finds it. Either way, life around an Aries male is rarely boring.

In love he is both aggressive and attentive. He's hard to say no to, and most don't want to. Virile and attractive, he works to keep things original. As exciting as an affair with the blazing Aries might be, these affairs are usually depressingly brief. Aries likes novelty and change, so expect him to flit from relationship to relationship.

At first. There is a deeper side to an Aries man than is immediately apparent. He's actually on the lookout for the perfect woman, his perfect mate. This man will keep prowling until he finds her, and keep discarding those who don't measure up to his ideal. When he finds his mate, he will devote himself to her with all the fierceness Aries is known for. But he can't stand deception and if he finds he has been taken advantage of, he'll bypass being hurt and move straight to anger. Beware an angry Aries.

Aries, as the first of the sun signs, cannot take a passive role in love. He will run the show both in the bedroom and outside of it. He simply cannot bear to leave the decisions to another and that will not change easily, if at all. Fortunately he's upfront about this from the beginning. Aries is blunt and to the point, so he won't pretend to allow another to control him. He's refreshingly honest in a forceful sort of way.

He's also incredibly rash, almost to the point of having no control over his raging emotions. If he wants you, he wants you. If he loves you, he loves you. And this man will go to the ends of the earth to attain what he wants, what he loves. He doesn't worry about the consequences, even though you might. He occasionally needs reigning in, and this is no easy task.

A relationship with an Aries man will be full of energy, excitement, and magnetism. No matter how long it lasts, it's sure to be a time full of passion and adventure.

Sun Signs and Love: The Aries Woman

Intensity is at the very core of an Aries woman. She is exciting in love and can be forceful, independent, and...well, imagine putting a match to a stack of dry kindling. The result could easily be the nature of an Aries woman in love. She is fiery, sensual, active, unpredictable, and utterly fascinating.

And she is domineering. When it comes to love, it is her way or the highway. What an Aries woman wants, she eventually gets. When she meets a man (or a woman) she wants, she'll stop at nothing to have him. And though she needs love, she will never allow a man (or anyone else) to dominate her. She gives exactly what she gets, so if she get loyalty, she gives loyalty. If she is met with deception...let's just say no one can match an Aries woman when it comes to this particular game. She will always come out on top.

An Aries woman can be jealous, but only because she doesn't share well. She wants all of her lover, and sharing him just won't happen. Her jealousy isn't the result of insecurity, but is merely a reflection of the position she must have in a romantic relationship. In other words, she must be the first priority, not the last. Anything else will drive her away.

If you want a one night stand, don't bother with an Aries woman. She is looking to find happiness in a long term relationship. Though highly affectionate and sentimental, she won't let these qualities show at first. You have to tease it out of her, but once you do, once you get her to let you in, she will be a lifelong friend and lover. Her ambitions know no bounds, making her the perfect companion for someone with equally high ambitions.

She will not tolerate neglect. This might make her seem a little demanding, and she is, but only because she wants a fulfilling relationship, not one where she never sees her lover. Be prepared to dedicate a fair amount of time to an Aries woman.

Above all, the Aries woman wants to be understood and appreciated. She likes to be admired. If you can give her what she needs, the Aries woman will do anything you ask.

Though the sun sign isn’t the only part of astrology, it is an important part. Though moon signs, aspects, and houses are also important, a birth chart is primarily based upon the sun sign.

The Character of Aries

If you were born under the sign of Aries, you may have a restless character, and are likely an activist and doer. New plans and ideas can be irresistible to you, and you have the tendency to plunge right in. You like to be the center of action, and you are usually a natural leader. You often knew from a young age that you were headed for success, and will stop at nothing to achieve your goals.

As an Aries, you are prone to taking any gamble, following any dream, and pursuing any goal with enthusiasm. You are a natural optimist, and though there may be an inner insecurity, you hide it well. Though sometimes prone to being a little moody, this never lasts long for Aries. You can quickly become distracted by something more exciting than depression.

Many born under the sign of Aries have difficulty in finishing what they have begun. They are the starters of the world, not the finishers. Sometimes you’ll spread yourself too thin, commit yourself to too many projects, and this leads to none of them being finished.

Aries are highly independent, and often resent having to follow orders. As an Aries, you may want to run the show. If you can’t be in charge, you’ll often either try to change the situation, or you’ll look for a new one that will allow your natural abilities to shine.

However, being a poor liar, others usually see right through you. You often lack tack and diplomacy, but you don’t usually intend to hurt anyone.

You’ll sometimes speak without thinking, and you’ll usually come to regret this. And though lucky with money, you may have difficulty holding onto it.

The Sign of Aries and Its Relationship With Others

Others may see you as vibrant, talkative, and exciting. If someone brings up a new topic, you will often wholeheartedly tell them exactly what you think about it, hardly letting anyone else get a word in edgewise. Though this may irritate some people, they also learn to respect you for your forthrightness.

You will usually do whatever you can to help a friend in need, putting all your many talents and abilities to good use. However, at the end of the day, you tend to expect to get the credit for the aid you have provided. If you do not, you are less likely to help that same friend again.

In many instances, you may take offense at the smallest thing, and your temper tends to run hot. You generally have a low tolerance for boredom, and you lose interest in many things quickly. Sometimes you become bored even with the friends you have, and have the tendency to walk away from some powerful friendships. The plodding and patient type typically bores you, and you’ll often find yourself confused as to how these people attain success before you do. If these people were once your friends, you may find yourself resentful of them.

Aries is a powerful sign of leadership and energy. Those born under this sign are usually the leaders of the world, the great generators of ideas, though they usually do not see these ideas to fruition. The correspondences of Aries are a powerful influence on this sign, and contribute to the pure power or Aries.
