Being at the front of the line, on top of the pile, and ahead of everyone else is what Aries seeks in everyday existence. Fear is not in the Arien vocabulary; they are one of the bravest signs in the zodiac. Risks are something to deal with, not to waste time assessing, as Aries are willing to dive in head first.

Speaking of, Aries rules the head and the upper part of the face (forehead) and the nose. They possess youthful strength and energy, regardless of their age and quickly perform any given tasks. Aries can be fast movers with noticeable energy and force.

When Aries falls in love, they loves for keeps, but they won’t stick around if you’re feeling sorry for yourself. They are romantic in love and lean towards idealistic tendencies. They recover quickly from broken hearts.

Aries can be very impatient and lean towards aggressiveness. Although they may have short tempers, they don’t hold grudges. They are happy to put the past behind them.
