ARIES

With the Sun in Aries, you truly are a force of nature. Fiery, impulsive, and spontaneous, you restlessly seek an outlet for self-expression through action. You are a natural trailblazer who assumes the leadership role through your thirst for new experience and a hunger for recognition. However, this can bring conflict if you are the one receiving, not giving, the orders! No matter. How else can you prove yourself but through a healthy dose of competition?

For you, there are no half measures. In relationships, you find it hard to grasp the concept of slow, maturing friendship. If you like someone, you will say so right away. You have a tendency to plunge into fiery love affairs kindled by a sudden spark of passion. Fast beginnings may be the forerunner to abrupt endings, as you find it hard to rekindle commitment once the flames of desire burn low. And be careful that your quick-temper does not land you into more trouble than you bargained for. As the Chinese Proverb says, “If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow."

Despite what others might advise, however, ‘act in haste, repent at leisure’ would not be your motto of choice, for who has time to stop and think? On your path to personal growth, however, you could gain much from attempting to harness your impulsive energies with patience, forethought, and consideration for others. Before you can master the world, you must first learn the art of mastering yourself.
