Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Ruled by Mars, the red "warrior" planet, these fiery, feisty individuals never surrender and hate to compromise. Symbolized by the headstrong ram, independent Aries can be "me-first," stubborn or bossy, but they also make fierce friends, spouses and parents. Gray areas are a foreign and often distasteful concept for Rams; they believe boldly choosing sides shows strength of character. Aries are also the infants of the zodiac. Their eternal optimism and innocence keeps them looking (and yes, sometimes acting) younger than their peers, no matter what challenges they've endured. Harsh lessons may test their patience, but endlessly faithful Aries believes in happily ever after. Aries Woman This nonconformist pioneer is the original independent woman. She is faithful, courageous and eternally optimistic. She loves to be challenged, hates to be flattered and can spot insincerity a mile away. Aries women are completely unafraid to buck convention—a shy or shrinking violet was never born under this sign. Scarlett O'Hara is the embodiment of the Aries woman: beautiful, vivacious and capable of overcoming any hardship. Fainthearted gents never won fair Aries—this lady needs a strong but sensitive warrior king by her side. While Aries women love the princess fantasy life, in reality, they prefer to be treated like queens. After all, queens have decision-making power, respect and influence. Forced to choose, the Aries woman would rather have Big Daddy's title than his money. She'll make her own paycheck, thank you very much. Although Aries women can be plagued with hidden insecurity, they also have a reservoir of healthy entitlement. In a pinch, that inner diva quickly takes control, and pity the fool who's on Ms. Aries' bad side. Awe-inspiring and intimidating, she's often misunderstood. She may look fierce, but it's only her game face. Ultimately, the warrior's heart is a gentle and peace-loving one—and it's never been truer than for Aries.
